Crackle Sunflower How to with School/Elmer's Glue Tumbler Tutorial

[@marshaschenkel6438]

Your creations are incredible. You’re an inspiration. Thank you so much for all your help

[@artisticpiscean]

Drying the glue and paint too fast is what causes the crackle effect to happen that’s why using a heat gun works perfect! Beautiful cup!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Bab's Designs Thank you so much❤️

[@JoAnna-vx8hq]

Just used this technique for my first crackle tumbler with sunflowers and i love how it came out!!!! It was fast and quick! Thank you soooo much!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Jo Anna Omg that’s fantastic ❤️

[@kirstiegreen6557]

Jo Anna omg! Thanks amazing 😉. I can’t wait to try it. I bought my own sunflower designs so that I can try it too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Hudsongames2016]

I know this is old. Some tips on crackling. If you want bigger crackle use a heavier coat. Smaller crackles use thinner coat. If you over dry try a light mist, very light of water. Learned this over tears of woodwork.

[@RebeccaEscott]

This is great info, thank you so much for sharing.

[@tanyapagan3029]

Awesome tutorial! Can you spray paint over the glue? Or does it need to be acrylic paint?

[@RebeccaEscott]

What a great idea, Im curious now if this would work. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

[@leeannhutchings951]

Can u please advise on how to get the epoxy to work correctly for me? I'm using 1 to 1 ratio. I'm doing epoxy in 76° - 80° weather. My epoxy always seems to have the fisheye look to it. Then the whole cup is ruined :(

[@RebeccaEscott]

Yes, it could be that you’re using to little epoxy for the tumbler or to much heat when using a touch to pop bubbles. Practice on a cup that has the fisheyes and apply another coat of epoxy for example; if I’m going to epoxy on a 20oz I won’t mix anything less then 25ML total to cover the entire cup. Let me know if applying more epoxy then normal works okay bc your temp is within normal range. ❤️ I hope this was helpful.

[@edithcunningham423]

Love it! Did you mix your paint with anything? And did you use a special brush. I only got it to crackle a little bit. Thanks

[@tabithaswann9824]

Beautiful cup!! Where do you get your heat gun? Also what’s your preparation before you spray paint the cup yellow? Definitely going to try this method for my first cup 😉☺️

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so much, so the heat gun came from harbor fright, I don't have any prep on my cups other then cleaning with alcohol. Thank you so much for watching and I am so sorry for my delay on your question as it wasn't until recently that I realized I was not seeing every question on my phone.

[@Gorgeousbronze1]

I dont se how you all work with Epoxy and glue for coding products. I made some roll trays using epoxy and it took a week for them to fully cure and that odor lingered in my house for a month 😄 Never again

[@RebeccaEscott]

Oh no, I’m curious as to which epoxy you used. The trays take a lot more epoxy then each layer of our tumblers so they are dry in 8hrs and fully cured in 3 days.

[@Gorgeousbronze1]

@@RebeccaEscott Oh I used top of the line supposedly Alumilite Amazing clear Cast. I don't think it's the brand. They all smell horrible. It's not something I do anyway. I wanted to but I don't have a dedicated space for such a thing.

Creative Vinyl Designs By Rebecca Escott have you sold the sunflower tumbler

[@RebeccaEscott]

Crystal Williams No it’s available. You are welcome to reach out to me on my Facebook.

[@Raziel1226]

Hi! Great video! I have a question...do you epoxy the cup before using the glue or can you do it directly on the painted surface? Thanks!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Raziel1226 Thank you so much, you can do this directly onto the painted cup, no epoxy needed before the crackle.

[@gertrudecharles]

Did you epoxy the tumbler befor applying the glu?

[@cynthiamurrell3758]

What do you use for turning? How did you make the pool noodle holder?

[@elizabethdianzo6156]

Can u epoxy after its all done

[@RebeccaEscott]

Yes absolutely you can.

[@krazjays4209qdd]

Hello! Thanks so much for sharing your technique! I love it, I'm curious, Did you seal prior to epoxy?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so much, ❤️ no need to seal, just let it dry and you can epoxy.

[@brandyandrus7779]

Creative Vinyl Designs By Rebecca Escott if I do glitter do I epoxy first then do it?

[@ellieshahmoradi9071]

Can you use any kind of stickers? Or are they a certain kind you can use under epoxy?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Ellie Shahmoradi To my understanding, just about any can go under epoxy.

[@kamreagan7416]

Thank you for clear directions. Crackle is going to be my first non ordered cup I’m going to be doing. 🙂🤓

[@RebeccaEscott]

You are so welcome, thank you so much for watching.

[@rachaelclark5933]

what is the wheel you use for turning the tumbler? What is the heat gun used at the end to dry the resin?

[@RebeccaEscott]

The turner is from Amazon, You can find it here : www.amazon.com/Cup-Turner-Crafts-Tumbler-Professional/dp/B07W42GR17/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=Cup+turner&qid=1597339971&sr=8-9, as for the heat gun used in this video I have since bought a new one, but the one shown is a heavy duty bought from Harbor Fright.

[@lynnenc]

This is an absolutely beautiful cup. Thank you so much for sharing! Love your work!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so very much ❤️❤️

[@jerride2414]

Can you use any kind and color of paint over the Elmer's glue, for the crackle look?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Yes, you sure can.

[@rondabaker8273]

What can we do to get fatter wider cracks

[@jenfried8312]

Do you seal the paint after it's crackled before you epoxy or just let it dry? This is super cute!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so much, and I just wait for the paint to dry prior to epoxy.

[@angelahernandez4062]

Hi, The acrylic paint, can it be matte finish or gloss finish?

[@RebeccaEscott]

I would think you could use either.

[@tonyagard171]

What kind of yellow paint did you use?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Oh, I'm sorry I don't really recall the exact color I used. I am also sorry for my delayed response I did not know until recently that I was not getting all notification to my phone.

[@pattiokenka6343]

Brand new to tumblers and this cup is Beautiful!!!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Awww thank you so much Patti! Welcome to the tumbler community ❤️

[@whitneywoodcock5219]

I have clear elmers glue on hand, will that work or does it need to be white glue?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Whitney Woodcock That should work, I’ve never tried it but it should be okay. If you try it will you come back and share if it worked.?

[@patbrown7693]

Beaiful cup, What kind of paint is the yellow?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Pat Brown I’m pretty sure it was rust oleum, I cannot remember the actual color of yellow that it was but if I figure out what it is I will reply with the name of yellow that I used.

[@staceestreifel2267]

What color spray paint did you use??

[@RebeccaEscott]

Stacee Streifel Oh I honestly do not recall the color spray paint I used for the yellow. ❤️

[@joycepugh5347]

very nice

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so much!

[@denisecasey4003]

What kind of white paint was that?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Oh, I'm sorry I don't really recall the exact color I used

[@lindabrady370]

Can you use a removable wall sticker on the tumblers?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Yes, anything that would stick will work. You would just want to seal with epoxy when its complete.

[@rachelcoward2163]

I did this cup and your tutorial is great but i ran into a problem, the stickers didn't stay down so when I put the epoxy on it, it got under them and pulled them up. What can i do differently? How can I keep that from happening? TIA!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Rachel Coward Excellent question, if the decals pulled up you can go ahead and epoxy the cup after the crackle affect and before applying decals, once the epoxy dries you can then apply the decals then re epoxy. I hope this helps. Please let me know.

[@rachelcoward2163]

I am making one tomorrow for someone else. I will definitely try that! Thank you so much for the quick response! And i will definitely let you know how it turns out!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Rachel Coward Excellent and you are so welcome. ❤️

[@tabithaswann9824]

After you put decal on, do you epoxy again with or without glitter in it? Also what do you do for the top? This is my first cup I made, followed your steps. Thank you again for this tutorial!!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Tabitha Swann Yes I do epoxy after adding decals and I’m not sure what you mean about the top?

[@tabithaswann9824]

Creative Vinyl Designs By Rebecca Escott how do you get the top rim of cup smooth? If I use a blade and scrap will I loose the seal?

[@krazjays4209qdd]

Great job! I love this! So, you didn't add water or anything to the glue? I have some "crackle medium" I have been dying to try, just haven't gotten around to it, this seems so easy! Great Job Rebecca!

[@RebeccaEscott]

Thank you so much.. No, I never add water to my glue and I have not ever attempted the crackle medium. The glue is really an easy technique.

[@krazjays4209qdd]

@@RebeccaEscott Yes, girl u make it seem so easy! Good for you cuz u have plenty of glue to make fifty eleven tumblers... he hee

[@coppercollector1]

Hello, I was wanting to know if I add the flowers and vinyl name, then epoxy the entire cup, will the work? My concern is epoxy the vinyl name, will it bubble up? I'm new to this. TIA

[@RebeccaEscott]

Yes that will definitely work. You can epoxy right over vinyl.

[@kirstiegreen6557]

Great question!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@mariastevenunez4704]

Are you seal before put the sticker with clear?

[@RebeccaEscott]

I would recommend a layer of epoxy prior to adding the decals.

[@123434rachel]

If adding a decal along with the stickers would you epoxy first? Or go ahead and add the vinyl decal along with the stickers?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Great question, I would Epoxy first only bc I would not want my transfer paper pulling my crackle and paint.

[@123434rachel]

Creative Vinyl Designs By Rebecca Escott that’s so true!! I didn’t even think of that! I wish I could send you a picture of the one I made yesterday!

Awesome tutorial! If i dont have a heat gun can i use a hair dryer?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Ashtyn Megariz Yes you sure can. You can also allow it to sit and dry on its own, I just use heat to push the crackle affect.

[@karenkrueger428]

Is it worth it to do yellow glitter under the crackle?

[@RebeccaEscott]

Absolutely it would shine through the cracks and look beautiful.

[@sharkcrooner]

@@RebeccaEscott My wife LOVES sunflowers and crackle furniture. SO...I'm learning tumblers to make her one for Christmas. Made a couple wood peekaboo's for the boys at work but haven't ventured into glitter yet. But I think I'm brave enough to try. Question....is it better to use resin or the Mode Podge stuff for your first layer of glitter? Some do and some don't. Thank You for your time!!

[@RebeccaEscott]

@@sharkcrooner Oh I think this is fantastic, you should check out my group Everything Tumbler Tutorials it’s super helpful! Also I use spray paint as my glitter adhesive bc it’s so easy and not so messy, use the closet color spray paint to the glitter In which you’re using that’s very helpful also if you need a 2nd coat of glitter just spray seal clear seal from Rustoleum and reapply your glitter BUT you must seal with clear seal again to lock in that glitter once dry then you can epoxy. If you don’t prefer that you can use either method to apply your glitter, it boils down to personal preference. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
