Gorgeous!! My son would love that one. He is a dragon person!!

Thank you! They really Are A Lot Of Fun To Make!~

I have made several dragon scale tumblers both with card stock and vinyl. I love the look of card stock over vinyl but I have found card stock made are so much heavier. I have never seen that thermal gel before. This tumbler is stunning! Perfect job. Thank you

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Thank you!! You are very right, the cardstock tumblers absolutely have more weight to them and I guess in the end it's all about the overall design features that you are looking for.

[@queenmarieglitters4989]

@@AmericanMomCreations Absolutely. In my opinion the card stock tumblers are much prettier and give a better "dragon scale" design. Thanks again for the great example and awesome look. Hugs

[@kenyagoodwin3053]

@@AmericanMomCreations I will definitely send u some pictures. I really wanna try the dragon scales but I might have to use mica powders bc I don't have that color shift mix that u used in this video

[@AmericanMomCreations]

@@kenyagoodwin3053 Mica Powders look great as well and the texture is beautiful!

[@tammyharden4516]

That is freakin awesome! That shift is totally mesmerizing! Fantastic job on the tumbler. 💖

Thank you so much!

[@shannondodes6612]

I love this! I did my fist scale tumbler and used tape and connected scales. 😊

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Thank you!

[@angiesartkraftykreations3677]

Now this is a tumbler I’m definitely going to try!! My niece is a fan of lizards 🦎 scaley pets!! I just purchased a mood changing pen but looks like I’ll need to order some of what you used!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you so much!

[@debrajol3585]

Genius! Never made one bc the individual scales are bonkers 😂 but this I can do!! Just happen to have a tiny jar of the color changer that I don’t have any plans for. Win win 👏👏👏 ~~Did you see the claws coaster (pouring your heart out) Julie made about 6 months ago? This tumbler sitting on that coaster would be a dragon lovers perfect gift imo ❤ well someone who’s really close bc that’s a lot of work👌 Thanks for sharing 🌹🌹

[@AmericanMomCreations]

I did not, but I will have to look it up!! I'm all for making some of the processes a little bit easier! Thanks for watching

[@crystalpowell6224]

Hello, I can't seem to find the dragon scales that are attached like yours. I pulled up the website that is listed on what you used but it doesn't look like that those are attached. Thanks in advance. Crystal

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Good Afternoon! You are exactly right. The file I have linked was the original file I used and then modified it to connect them together. That was before anyone had posted a connected file on Etsy. Here is the link to another listing that has the scales already connected. I hope this helps. www.etsy.com/listing/911514080/svg-file-dragon-scales-easy-linked?click_key=a5bc6599fec33f20e90e825be85b22997642cd94%3A911514080&click_sum=69a0662e&ref=shop_home_recs_1&pro=1

[@shannondickerson1070]

I love this! What do you estimate the cost is per tumbler (minus the tumbler because we will all use different tumblers)? and what would you charge for it?

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Thank you!! I start my color changing tumblers at $55. My estimated cost per tumbler for just materials is around $25 and that will be dependent on how much you pay for the color changing pigment and how much you use per tumbler.

[@debbiesinger3763]

do you have to dry the pigment first to activate it? Thanks

[@AmericanMomCreations]

You can let it air dry if you prefer. But yes, once it’s dry on the dark tumbler you will start to see the color change.

[@stacywilson2540]

What kind of Mod Podge are you using? I always see tutorials where people use mod podge, but when I went to buy some there are like 16 types of it,

[@AmericanMomCreations]

You are right, there are quite a few options. I just use the regular Mod Podge Matte. It has a yellow label, and I have it linked in the description of the video in my Amazon Store under Crafting Supplies. Hope this helps!

[@debbiepeppers6446]

Wow please tell me what gel you used

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Thank you

[@AmericanMomCreations]

This is the Thermal Rainbow Gel from PDB Creative Studio. I have it linked in the description for quick access.

[@carolynthornburgh3024]

I can't figure out how to attach the dragon scales?

[@AmericanMomCreations]

As in, attach them as one piece before cutting?

[@pamwilson6296]

CCDIY code doesn't work :(

[@AmericanMomCreations]

Make sure to use AMC2022 and the order must be $40 or more. Let me know if you still have problems with it and I’ll find out what is going on!

[@bren8309]

The video was cool but why would you not show the entire process? Like how you went about applying the epoxy and the resin? I have never seen this type of Tumblr and I would have liked to have seen how the Tumblr was made in its entirety

[@AmericanMomCreations]

I apologize for the inconvenience, this video was never intended to be a tumbler for beginners which is why I did not show applying the epoxy. But the epoxy is applied just like any other tumbler.
