DIY Crackle Alcohol Ink Glitter Tumbler

[@irisheyesofbelfast]

I just started the video but have to take a sec to say your nails are gorgeous! Gorgeous color and PERFECT length. 😻😻

[@mguzmanloera]

I am so glad you mentioned which type of gloves to wear, some of us newbies had already bough regular latex gloves. Much thanks! Returning them now.

[@lacybrowning7122]

These are STUNNING-what a FANTASTIC technique!! I love how clear and concise your tutorials are....YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

[@nanowomansk]

If you can find the huge star shaped pool noodle you can cut off a section to use for the larger tumblers. It holds them great.

[@rachelsellars7193]

You totally right it works great....but they go down fast, shrink or mold to small. What am I doing wrong

[@nanowomansk]

It maybe due to my setup that I have good luck. I have a cone from a large thread spool glued to pvc section. The spool will slide in until it’s tight. So if the noodle shrinks the spool will add needed pressure to expand the noodle until it’s tight. I wish I could show you a pic.

I've watched a few different videos on this process, and yours is one of the most accurate on safety.Most of the others don't wear masks, or explain why it should be nitrite gloves to wear. I LOVE the look of this tumbler and I'm a big glitter person LOL I'm eager to make my first one, and I think it's going to be this style. As much as I love glitter, I want something easier for my first one. Thank you for this video.

I’m so worried she will spill something on it. 😂😂😂

[@nancyblake7425]

Another question.... I have fine craft glitter. I see most use polyester glitter. Which do you prefer or do you use both for different affects? Thanks again!!

[@daryngalbreath6038]

polyester glitter will not bleed under epoxy/solvents and doesn't fade as easily in sunlight vs craft glitter, craft glitter is fine when you are starting off and practicing but is not recommend past that. polyester glitter also has better coverage

[@nancyblake7425]

I have several bottles of glitter that came bulk so the individual bottles aren't labeled. The glitter is very fine. How can I tell what type it is?

[@henrysgirl4111]

@@nancyblake7425 there is no way to tell just by looking at it... the difference between poly glitter and craft glitter is temp tolerance, poly is good up to 350 degrees and craft glitter is good to 280 degrees, I have used both on my cups without a problem

Hello, I'm a moderator with LLR and I am helping Summer out with answers right now...I spoke to her recently and she informed me she had sold all 6 sets she made at $120.00 a set. 🌹

[@andreawellman4461]

Well 25 was just what she paid for the cup set... I always wonder how much they calculate the whole cost of goods at... 120 seems good, but it also seems like these could get hugely expensive really fast. Anyones insight is appreciated!

[@henrysgirl4111]

@@andreawellman4461 It really depends on your market, you want to make pretty things and sell them but you don't want to scare people away. It will depend on what you want to make on it. For example, live in Beverly Hills charge $250, live in a lower economic area maybe $100.... it's all up to you

So, how do you fix the top edge if it gets scuffed by the sandpaper; is there a way to make it shiny again?

[@lisas2118]

Hi Ann, I am a moderator with LLR and I am helping Summer out with answers right now.... Although I am sure that there are many answers..I do know personally, a super high grit sandpaper like 4000 can work the scuffs out with water and a lot of elbow grease. 😉 Good luck !

[@brendamorgado562]

Can you please tell me why you use a matte clear instead of cleat gloss... thank you this is a great tutorial and they are beautiful

[@henrysgirl4111]

some have said that matte gives the epoxy something to stick to.... clear gloss will be smoother and epoxy can repel

Hi Tina. Im a moderator with LLR and I am helping Summer with answers... she uses 220 grit.

[@lorieprokup163]

how high do you have the flame on the torch?

[@henrysgirl4111]

just enough to hit the cup quickly to pop the micro bubbles. It's the Co2 from the flame that pops them... move quickly and not too close you don't want to burn it. When it burns it bubbles and you can't get rid of those.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make epoxy tumblers. I can't seem to get past the mod podge. When I add a layer of mod podge then add glitter it looks kind of ok for a first layer. Then when I try to add second layer (even waiting a day later and shaking and rubbing extra glitter) it mixes my glitter in my mod podge and never applies a good solid layer of glitter. I gave up and stopped trying to make tumblers with glitter/paint/etc...Do you have any good helpful tips for me?

Hi Barbara, I'm a moderator with LLR and I am helping Summer out with answers.... She did not replace the bottoms, hence the purpose of glittering..it adds both design and function!
