Potion Drips Tumbler

This video showcases how I made a Lava Lamp style drip tumbler. I thought potions would be a fitting drip style, perfect for Halloween! I had so much fun making these unique tumblers and I hope you will give them a try also!

This idea is absolutely awesome

Thank you for sharing your cups, and showing everything they are really beautiful.💜💜

Very nice work!

[@Itsbellarosexx]

Pls do a tutorial on how to seal the image with epoxy on a tumbler! NOBODY has one that I can find! Yours looks amazing

[@mistyscott8187]

You might not have found one yet cause it’s not safe for acrylic tumblers

[@kheventplanner]

@@mistyscott8187 really? Huh I did not know that!

[@Parangaricutirimicuaro-.-]

@@mistyscott8187 is it not food safe? Can we use brite tone instead?

[@tiffanycerasoli3540]

Um she specifically states it’s on a spinner with one coat of epoxy

[@ms.d6857]

​@@mistyscott8187it's ok for acrylic tumblers as long as it's double walled as these are.

[@reynamummert6636]

beautiful work!!! Love these!!! I wish I would have watched your video before I made my cup!

[@Studio190creations]

I love them all

[@danaarchibald1171]

OK so I LOVE these and immediately bought the cups you suggested and have already done two. Please I am not trying to be negative, but the ONLY issue with this style cup, is that it can ONLY be used with a straw, so once the "lava" settles, it can't go back up, like other "snowglobe" tumblers, you just shake a bit and they move around, these do not do that really. So this might be better done in a tumbler that you have to tip to drink, so stuff mixes a bit. I'm a little bummed, because they turned out SO COOL, doing exactly how the tutorial said, but now the stuff is settled and without turning it upside down, you can't really get it moving. Again, the video and cups are AMAZING, just wanted to point out you may want different cups that the top seals better on if you are doing this method, to keep it moving. But THANK YOU for a great video and amazing idea!

[@sarahmai5902]

The problem is that those are a LOT harder to find and less reasonably priced

New follower! Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to watching more of your beautiful creations❤

[@melonyrosario9618]

gorgeous

[@phyllisgast8357]

Fantastic job on these! I have seen a few and the inside liquid is either not enough poured in the cup or they weren't thick enough. I love how yours was just rite! Thank you for another great tutorial 🥰

Thank you!

I sit my acrylic paints in warm water to loosen them up if they have been sitting for a while.

[@orduno47]

Can you add color to the baby oil as well ? And have 2 colors at the same time with out mixing??

[@crystaluv3313]

Good question. I will have to experiment with that!

These are soooo cool! Thanks for sharing the technique!

[@crystaluv3313]

great vid. You did not show but you put Epoxy all over an acrylic tumbler ?? I thought you were not supposed to put it on plastic? I only do Stainless steel so had no idea.

[@rochelleslover3074]

Love how these turned out!! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@crystaluv3313]

[@kheventplanner]

These are super cool! Did you only use glycerin and baby oil? No water at all is that right? I'm just fresh getting in to making shimmer cups so I need lots of advice!

[@crystaluv3313]

Yes, just glycerin and baby oil!

[@kheventplanner]

@@crystaluv3313 sooooo much cooler than water! I love it!

[@prettyredlipscreation1940]

So pretty I love it‼️‼️‼️‼️❤

[@debraavant7993]

On the red one you used chunky glitter. Would you recommend not using glitter and a mica instead? It just looked to not mix well? I could be wrong! They look awesome!

[@crystaluv3313]

The mica tends to settle and clump. I honestly prefer just alcohol ink and or glitter

[@martinavanhoy3023]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@meuyrobbins9681]

Do we need to degas these tumblers as well?

How much do you sell these for? I would love a true crime mug :) maybe like true crime & fall time 💁🏼‍♀️😝 with some skulls. I'll buy it from you if it's in my budget.

Aww, so cute! Happy spooky season.

[@crystaluv3313]

Thanks! I ❤ spooky season 🎃

[@dopekreationsllc7431]

I AM IN LOVEEEEE! This is amazing and your work is wonderful.... Question: does it have to be "alcohol ink" for the liquid ink or can it be the colored "pigment"?

[@crystaluv3313]

Thank you. Good question. I have used mica powders but they tend to clump after awhile. I would guess that any liquid based pigments could work. U could try mixing them in a cup and see how well they stay dissolved in the solution before putting in the tumbler!

[@pennyhall4278]

These are the coolest things I seen can't wait to try it, but if you don't mind me asking can you tell me what type of printer do you use for your stickers.

[@crystaluv3313]

I just have an Epson ecotank. It's an inkjet printer

[@jdubbs528]

Does the color ever eventually bleed from the glycerin to the baby oil? Or do they stay separately colored.

[@crystaluv3313]

They stay separated. The mica may stick I have found though

[@jdubbs528]

@@crystaluv3313 do you have to use alcohol ink or would normal food coloring work?

[@Kayla-kc7ty]

I love these ! Thanks for the tutorial ! 😍

[@melissafrancia638]

If i add glitter to the baby oil will it mux with the drips? Thx

[@crystaluv3313]

That's a good question. The glitter will settle when the cup is just sitting. I'm not sure if it would still be separate when shaken up....I've been meaning to experiment with this and I will let you know!

[@gettingcraftywithmycat]

I just started making these myself. Love your colors. I have to ask a non craft question though. What is the bird that is singing in the background? Its so pretty. Just like your tumblers.

[@crystaluv3313]

Thank you. I'm not sure of the type of bird, just neighborhood birdies in the trees 🙂

What kind of epoxy do u use to seal the pic on there?? Can I use the UV resin epoxy for that?

I use epoxy resin by KS resin.

[@sallyjacobs9500]

Hi that's cool

[@Queen.of.h_arts]

These look awesome. Do you sand the cup prior to applying the epoxy??

[@crystaluv3313]

No, I don't sand the acrylic tumblers because I'm afraid you will see the scratches. I haven't had any trouble in the past

[@lynbolt1129]

Where did you get the sticker files you printed?

[@dannisanto7260]

I made a bunch of these and they look beautiful. As they sit though, the mica like builds on the sides and looks a little splotchy. Is that normal? I have been looking for a way to fix it like crazy and I can’t figure out how. Little boys just stick on the sides of the cup.

[@crystaluv3313]

I know 😏 using just the alcohol ink did work better

[@kristenleyba808]

When you do the epoxy coating, are you doing it around the entire tumbler ? I know you mentioned putting it on the rotator, but wanted to double check

[@crystaluv3313]

Yes. I apply the epoxy to the whole tumbler then place it on the turner
