Absolutely love this cup

[@pinkmosquito22]

This is probably my favorite tumbler!! Absolutely LOVE it!! Awesome job!! 😍

[@dianesmyser604]

Thank you, this makes it so much easier. Your videos are some of the very best!

[@JohnLopez-jt1cj]

I will try a tumbler like that once I get my room fixed up for doing shirts & cup, thank you for the videos. 👍🏼

[@simplylydia]

I love this one. Thank you so much for all that you do to help us. The descriptions & details that you provide are fantastic.

[@britneymonarque88]

Love it.... I have decided switch style of flag for my grandpa

[@shabbykat273]

Beautiful tumbler! Just a word about the design: The order of the red and white stripes are symbolic. A white stripe always goes under the field of stars.

[@rickirving9107]

"A white stripe always goes under the field of stars" not when Vermont & Kentucky were added ;)

[@cassibra]

@@rickirving9107 our current American flag has white under the stars

[@cassibra]

I came to say this exact same thibg

[@clinthittson8519]

The only order that matters is that red is the first stripe and that there are 7 red stripes and 6 white stripes.

[@jaccourtney5249]

Thanks so much for sharing! Great tutorial! This is exactly what I was looking for -looks awesome, easy, rustic, america, with spray paint vs my usual glitter for the FD & 4th holidays coming up.

[@gailrigelsky3224]

Love that cup, great job

[@kHoPhAe]

I just did a glass using your guidance and boy oh boy, it's a beauty! Thanks so much for all you do!

[@angelamiller1048]

This is gorgeous! At the beginning of your video, I thought it was a "wood" rustic design. Now that I know it's super easy to make, I may try my hand at this. Thanks!

[@lucyvanstone3522]

I have done 4 so far and Thanks for the video Great Job

[@raineyjackson8964]

I love it!! I’d love to see a Railroad design. My husband is an electrician.

This is awesome! Thank you for sharing. I love seeing these distressed flags. Seeing your techniques are very helpful.

[@heatherlee90]

Love this! Looks great!

[@yosoydel1971]

Thank You!!! For sharing, the tutorial step by step. I have not made the tumbler. But, I will say; worked on the flag and it was not as hard as I thought it would be. I seen your video a looooong time ago, I will stop being scared. I am going to make this tumbler for my brother. His son is in the Navy 🥰

[@woody6750]

awesome!!!!! love your work thank you for sharing I will have to try this. This will go with my powder coated destressed American flags that I make like it was in battle.

[@doglady4817]

Great video easy to understand, would love to see a sneaker tumbler

[@hottrizzle]

Thanks for sharing... great instructional video

[@eyesmadeeasy]

Beautiful job!

[@karenhadden4980]

It looks great! I e been trying to figure out the stripes being off and finally realized what it was! Yes, the stripes start with red but there are 7 short stripes and 6 long ones. The first long one should be white. I hope this helps! Thanks for the great videos!

[@susankniola5958]

Thanks! Great tutorial, very helpful :)

[@kaileym9546]

Super great tutorial

Great job and great video!!

[@tamikka09]

Wonderful tutorial

[@sherryk5313]

Love this

[@TheRealSuperK]

Fun project. Glad you got the stars correct, but it appears that the easier way to lay the stripes might be to lay all the stripes on the cup at one time after you cut them to size but before before you pick the 'red' stripe off. Lay it on the cup as a solid(but cut )and once in position, pick the red stripes off. Well done!

[@mylesfrische9053]

Love this cup! My tumbler is over 12 inches wide and 8 inches tall, so do I need to buy a larger mat and use a bigger sheet of vinyl? I am very new to all this. Thanks!

[@reallyfijateperocomocono1131]

I love it!!!

[@mattmcshane2079]

looks great !

[@blaquebeauty5306]

I love watching your tutorials; very informative!!

[@090857sps]

Great job!

[@pmolina839]

Thanks for the inspiration. Definitely going to try this. I'm nervous because it will be my first time making a cup.

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

Go big or go home, right?! You got this girl! And remember, it’s ok to mess up and fail. We all do!

[@jaegonzales9137]

Once you make your first cup, you’ll be hooked 😍

[@thecraftalley]

Thank you for this! I followed how you did it. Of course I'm sure I didn't do it just like you did. But my outcome was gorgeous! By far one of my top 3 that I've ever done. I wish I could share a pic lol

[@MissKissKreations]

Send it to my Instagram or Facebook. Would love to see it 😊

[@stacywilson1062]

I made this tumbler today!!!

[@MissKissKreations]

Bet it looked great!

[@deenastephens]

That fourth red stripe from the top has to align on right with the end of the stars field so that the row immediately beneath the stars it’s white. Needless to say your cup is beautiful and it’s my most requested cup.

[@jayallen5312]

Super awesome

[@ashleydrennin4190]

I swear I go back and back to video every time I do a peek boo effect idk what it is but this def is my go to when I forget how I did it lol

[@lisajackson3966]

Great video. In the past you would say that you do NOT sand any of your cups? Is there a reason you are doing that now? Sincerely interested.

[@minicaestilette3010]

Thank you

[@cathyriccetti4999]

Great video, thanks! Does the epoxy need to be applied on a device that turns it? I am unfamiliar with the process but the cup is so cute I would like to try to make it.

[@MGM-ej8wx]

Beautiful! ❤️ How can I make this if my computer isn’t working & can’t access my cutter software. Is there different method? Thank you 😊

[@amchildress01]

You know~ lol I did EXACTLY what you said NOT to do with those dang stars~ haha literally annoyed with myself now~ I didn't realize I had them on upside down until this morning~ =S Paints all dry~ I get to redo the ENTIRE tumbler~ lol I'll get this one way or another~ lol Thank you so much for this video~ The sizing helped~ So much has changed over the years with making tumblers~

[@lauryncrump8361]

I did this with a big flag i made for my hubby, the stars are all upside down. And I could literally cry. Lol

[@kristaljoyner2278]

Your tumbler is beautiful! Thank you for such a great tutorial. I am not familiar with Cricut software, as I have always used the Silhouette. But I do have a question/concern as I was hoping to use your template but noticed that when sizing you chose to “stretch” the design altering the shape. I was taught to always pull designs from the corners, to ensure that the image remains the same, only changing the size. I was curious as to why you decided the pull the image from the bottom (elongating the stars), versus pulling from the corners, and once the stars where the proper height (which would have made the width too long), then use your cutting tool (I’m sure Cricut has this, just like the Silouette) to trim the width? Which would have kept the stars in their original shape. Again- I’m not familiar with the Cricut software, so please forgive my ignorance and please do not think I’m trying to suggest that your way is incorrect. As I am truly curious as to your reasoning to stretch the shape (minimally distorting the stars shape) versus choosing to edit differently. Would something else (that is essential) have been lost in doing it differently? Does your software not allow for it? Or would it have created an alignment issue, somewhere else? Or something else totally- that I am not even considering???? Just am trying to understand the benefit and/or thoughts in choosing the option that you chose, as I love hearing and learning, whenever I see someone do something that differs from how I “was taught.” I’ve found some really good “tricks of the trade/hacks & time-savers,” over the years, by asking others, why they chose the particular method to do whatever it is that they were doing (not necessarily related to editing images or even to do with cutting software).

[@kirstiegreen6557]

Amazing 😉

[@kimbraconger1554]

I don't even use tumblers but y'all are killin it with these designs and tutorials! I love how thorough you are and how angle conscious you are for your viewers. I'll assume any thumbs down came from folks who lack the awesome sauce ! I may just have to try this for a tool holder something. Too good to pass!

[@ambersecundino9757]

Do you put anything on the inside of the cup to prevent spray in from spray paining and epoxy inside??

[@1927Scavengers]

What do you use to rotate the tumbler at the end. Awesome design.

[@thisisus3136]

Very nice

[@lisajarvis3820]

WOW THIS IS SO 😎 ~ Dame ~it 🤣 ~ another tumbler I just have to try making!! THANK YOU 😘!!

[@brad3597]

Can you lay we the people paper on top and mod podge over the entire cup before epoxy so you can destress it aswell

[@mandyhard4365]

I love this! Your cup turned out beautiful!!!Could this be done with the smoke effect as well?

[@MissKissKreations]

Yes, it can 😃

[@donnamack1067]

To help with bleeding paint- your base coat is white and you have your stencil down spray it white again close to the edges (or the whole thing) of the stencil. That way if it bleeds it bleeds the color that is underneath. Once dried then spray it the color it is intended to be.

[@caityngrismere1114]

What are the dimensions you use for the Ozark Trail Tumbler 30 oz. I don't have access to a tape measurer to get an accurate measurement.

[@lisablack1280]

What accessories do you have in your maker cups? What do you use them for? (Looks like roll on Benadryl?) 😊

[@doycebrimmage6865]

Mask around the field of stars before painting. Then mask the field of stripes near the stars to avoid overspray.

[@kaitlynlivingston838]

Do I have to use alcohol ink for this or can I just do acrylic?

[@Transitlady59]

I'd love to buy one like this where can I find one?

[@heatherk5567]

Do you sell your tumblers? I love this one.

[@madeleinefloyd2956]

I'm a newbie, I made this tumbler, did not antique it and epoxies it. Can I run my finger over the epoxy with the paint and then epoxy again? Thank you so much I love your work!

[@lauryncrump8361]

Totally! I've done a tumbler, then did the first coat of epoxy and realised there was a fingerprint in the paint, so I went over that spot again with paint and just covered the whole thing in epoxy again, couldn't even tell!

[@veronicagoldman9920]

What epoxy do you prefer?

[@broncmjk]

i keep missing something. when you uploaded to ds matt it was a print then cut then you clicked on the design access and pulled up another flag and then closed out that one and then your flag changed to a cut file. if its print then cut you have to print first and design space wont cut over a certain size your alert was on the flag before you pulled up the other one also. and like i said once you deleted the one flag your alerts were gone and it was changed to a cut. im lost.

[@amyconwell5612]

I absolutely love this tumbler! Couldn't you not weed the stripes and lay it on the tumbler first then weed the white spaces? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@MissKissKreations]

Thank you! If that is easier for you, then you could try that! Be careful scratching the paint with the weeding tool though!

[@ginaappleyard9902]

can you please tell me what resin you recommend, I am trying to buy the gallon size. Thank you for all your help.

[@GHInterpretations]

Hi! So I got tumblers that have a sip lid, not a straw. The ones that have the hole on the lid to sip from. My resin is naked fusion resin, and is FDA compliment and food safe. Is it alright to drink from the cup that way once the resin is 100% cured? Thanks

[@lauryncrump8361]

Yes maam, sure is!

Did you seal after distressing the cup before you applied the epoxy? Beautiful cup by the way

[@MissKissKreations]

I did not seal

[@reneeeveridge7960]

Thank you

[@jerricaschobelock6099]

I'm making my 1st one and I put epoxy over it after I spray painted the cup. Is there a way I can still get the distressed look over the epoxy?

[@MissKissKreations]

Sure can. Before designing, sand the proxy some to have a rough base

Lol. Made this last week...

Hello! I’m trying to make this cup for fathers day and got everything you have used! But the moment I put epoxy on the cup it separates like not sticking in certain spots. Any tips?

[@MissKissKreations]

Did you prep your tumbler first? Sand with 180 or 120 grit sanding block then wipe down with 91% alcohol. Must be 91%. Nothing lower

[@shannon7734]

@@MissKissKreations yes! I did all that! And it’s just at the bottom end of the cup edges it like fish eyes. Maybe I need a thicker epoxy?
