Easy DIY Epoxy Glitter Pens Tutorial

[@grangajudy7067]

I actually cried over spilled glitter last night. My Namaste glitter came open in shipping and spilled all in my box!! I saved as much as I could, but I might have shed a few tears 😮

[@TumblerTV]

Oh no! Please email us at [e-mail] and we will get you taken care of right away!

[@dac6157]

When I make them I can’t get them to click, we have to kind of leave them unscrewed a bit to work. Why?

[@michellesweet667]

Can you do this with the pens that have grippers

[@TumblerTV]

Yes; I recommend using tape and taping it off to epoxy won’t get onto the rubber

[@michellesweet667]

@@TumblerTV thank you

[@jillgreene4878]

How much do y’all sell pens for?

[@sassydiva87]

So you don’t put anymore resin over the glitter to seal the glitter ✨???

[@amiek9269]

Did you do more layers of epoxy on top of the glitter? Thx

[@TumblerTV]

Yes. After it spins and cures I add a second layer. You can do up to 3 if you add a decal. Sorry I thought I had said that in the video. I was having too much fun.

[@Snuglesdeb]

do you put another coat of epoxy to cover glitter???

[@TumblerTV]

Yes.

[@stephaniedennis767]

What brand of epoxy did y'all use?

[@janellekm]

Do you spray a seal over them or another layer of epoxy?

[@donnamccarty7224]

How long is the time between coats of epoxy?

[@sey08]

After applying glitter, it only needs 2-3 hours before you can put the epoxy on

[@candysolomon4897]

Do you put a second coat of epoxy on your pen?

[@NROSALES84]

I've seen other videos where they put two coats. Yes.

[@emilycorgan3897]

Yes you have to do the glitter doesn’t come off. They skipped that part

[@emilycorgan3897]

So*

[@tiwandaford2890]

What size PVC will the adapter fit?!

[@TumblerTV]

3/4”

[@amandajones1111]

Will y'all make one for 1/2 in pvc

[@silverredfern]

Well darn my turner is 1/2”

[@TumblerTV]

@@silverredfern we now sell both 1/2” and 3/4”

[@silverredfern]

@@TumblerTV I saw that now 😂 when I bought it though it was the one size 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@NicoleGizzy79]

Does it matter what means you use

[@peggyshaw1781]

Does it drip if you don’t have a tumbler turner and just stand them up somehow?

[@tereguevara8093]

is a second coat of resin needed?

[@kboone280]

So you did not prime the pens first with paint? You just put glitter on the pen without priming the pen?

[@aidaprocopio5511]

They primed the pens by sanding them.

[@jazmynmorgan2730]

I wanna make and sell these I’m the one who buys in bulk and it’s over 900$ to start and I have no job I lost it so

[@wandaharden438]

I’m glad you are here!!!

[@auryeli22]

How long do you cure the glitter for?

[@Joy-mf5vt]

You don’t need to seal the pen after it dries?

[@crafty911retired]

Also when you use a mix or chunky if you roll the pen in wax paper the chunky will lay flat.

[@unitedsoccerchik00]

Can you add what colors you did for the rainbow pen?

[@Mrsfireangel]

Where do you get your glitter from

[@AddictedNCali]

She is Glitter Chimp

[@angelawoods4435]

What size pvc do you use?

[@crystalwilliams6101]

I found the best way to get that nub off after taking the clip off is to use nail clippers it makes it nice and flush!!

[@greggminnis6374]

Kaitlyn, do you put a layer of epoxy over the glitter?

[@TumblerTV]

Yes. You can also add a decal if you want. They are addicting

[@greggminnis6374]

@@TumblerTV wife has told me we needed to do some. Guess I'm going to have to get on it. Thanks for the video.

[@greggminnis6374]

There. Ordered a turner adapter and the display. I'm all in.

[@arlenesutton8456]

Do you reapply epoxy after the glitter dries or only before you put decal on? I have had the pins for 2 weeks and have yet to try this. I guess I'm a bit intimidated to since I've only been doing tumblers since January.

[@TumblerTV]

Yes. After it spins and cures I add a second layer. You can do up to 3 if you add a decal. Sorry I thought I had said that in the video. I was having too much fun.

[@amyw7731]

Same here! I just started doing this in Jan. too. And, I have been procrastinating trying to do the pens. I always get so nervous trying to start something new like this. Have you tried since? I am still working up the nerve. But, I have to finish a couple orders before I can start doing the pens. I only have a 2 cup turner, so far. I hope it goes well for you. I'd love to hear how it goes, whenever you do try it. Good luck!

[@arlenesutton8456]

@@amyw7731 yes, I'm working on one for me and one for my daughter but my step daughters' grandmother passed away and I haven't had time to finish them.

[@monicascullion4001]

Do i need to paint the pen after sanding? And what are you cutting off the pen? And what types of pens can this be done to?

[@nikkid1814]

Thank you for the idea of using mod podge with the little one. We tried it and has so much fun. I will varnish it afterwards, no epoxy here.

[@whitneyhoffer67]

I love hummingbird! It’s one of my favorites!

[@lisahodge2882]

Where do I go to order the tumbler adapter?

[@sandymontgomery5288]

I Just Seen Your Ad/Commercial On Facebook. I Had Watched A Video Of Yours Awhile Back, And Had No Clue You Owned That Company..!! I'm Excited To Check Out The Inventory.

[@janetsaenz3286]

Hi, love your video. What kind of epoxy do you use?

[@scottiemoore3269]

Do you still give military discount?

[@poteatjessica]

So that's it?! Epoxy and glitter? No sanding and doing a 2nd coat?!? Do you still sell the pen attachment?

[@ritabretl85]

OMG you were great. I have my pens just waiting til I can get to my craft basement. Just had hip surgery need to master steps first. I cant wait

[@jennifergilbert3535]

What was the coor Sarah mixed with Hummingbird? That pen is GORGEOUS!

[@sassydiva87]

Love ❤️ this! Where do you get your glitters? I love that they are in spice containers!

[@bonniemorrow5021]

her company sells them like that I LOVE Glitter Chimp

[@nanowomansk]

I made a pen holder. The discs are of epoxy. It looks like the one you made. A good tip is to put a pool noodle inside before you attach the other side. It will help hold the pen holders tighter allowing for the size of the pen holders diameter to not matter so much.

[@yvettequintanilla8931]

Hello! Iam so excited i just put an order in😁 it's my first time ordering. I am also a new crafter. Can't wait to get my package. ❤️ Have a blessed day beautiful ladies.

[@kimlyp44]

how did you order it

[@ripleyfranklin2831]

Hi! I have a ridiculous question....I can find these pens for the life of me..I am in Canada, and all the ones I can find, are all plastic, with the rubber grippy part. So, the question is...can you tell me the model number or UPC off the package so I can try and find some? Please and thanks! 😊

[@debraquinones3816]

I don't mean to bother you and you don't even have to answer me. I'm having a problem making manga panel tumblers. I've made two so far and have gotten the same bleed through result. Spray paint, dry, mod podge and lay panels, dry, top mod podge coat, dry, epoxy and then it bleeds. It's upsetting enough that I'm losing product and can't find any sort of reading material on how to avoid this issue.

[@maritzasantiago752]

Omg.. I was freaking out with all of that wasted glitter 😱 Do you repurpose it?

[@janmcconnell2240]

Those are gorgeous - I have a quick question, does it have to be the InkJoy Gel pen? They make a InkJoy ballpoint pen as well, could I use those instead?

[@yvettrae]

I really want to try making thaws but epoxy is toxic. Why don’t you use safety mask?

[@tlynn1963]

How fun!!!

[@sassydiva87]

Haha! My husband hates glitter ✨ lol…our daughter when she was 4 years old found my glitter stash and jumped through the living room sprinkling “pixie dust” everywhere so she could fly like tinker bell….and then glitter got banned from entering my house for years. Until she joined the color guard marching band and the glitter ✨ was everywhere again even inside our cars 🚗…..lol

[@mysticwackycreations7454]

Thanks for sharing very helpful.... You should make another rainbow one for when that one is taken

[@kelss1]

No resparator mask? Epoxy is so dangerous to use and requires proper protection. Please be aware people!

[@TumblerTV]

We are aware of the dangers and work in a 3,000sq/ft well ventilated warehouse. It is also very hard to give a tutorial with PPE due to talking.

[@ElyriaNo]

I got myself so good with the exacto knife 😂 now my 4 year old keeps telling me that I need dad to help with "sharps" 😂

[@Manda2071]

DITTO!!!! I required an ED visit... I'm on a "glitter" time out, lol. 😬

Laughing still lmao but mainly because the way you are; is exactly how I am lol sarcasm galore and I Jimmy rig everything lol you are doing wonderful, woman! You both are! I am new as well and have watched your videos for about a year now, just bought my set up and I have my first tumbler on the turner as I speak lol boy was I nervous and made a mess but i think its pretty easy overall. Thank you both for being so inspiring!

[@christinecolvin2412]

Lol, kid whining cracks me up. Just average kid. 😂

[@sweetirishrose]

This was funny to watch lol. But why does everyone forget one of the rainbow colors when they do this? There’s 7 colors. Either the Blue or Indigo is always missing.

[@christinakelley6715]

So you don't encapsulate with epoxy again.

[@monicascullion4001]

Can you send me the glitter from your plates? Lol
