[@sarafulmas8060]

I LOVE this tutorial. I love love love this tumbler. So much so that I followed yours step by step and made my myself one. It is my favorite personal tumbler by far!!!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you so much! This was for my sisters coworker and let's just say she was jealous and I now have to make her a matching one!

[@090857sps]

Love this...thank you for making this video...now I feel I can do the leopard spot tumblers!!

[@tiffanyr4460]

My first epoxy tumbler tutorial and you nailed it! That turned out really cute!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you so much!

[@chelleweatherspoon2226]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you for taking time to make this to share.

[@Sophisticatedwt]

What is the font you used? What was the app you mentioned on the phone to make the swirls? The tumbler is beautiful.

[@laurabiggs2250]

Fabulous! Love it!! Have you done a video with the font and Photoshop? I would love to view it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! I do not have a video but I will be making one most likely by this weekend!! It’s actually my preferred way to do since it’s just way easier! I do have a video on how to do it with the Phonto phone app

[@kimberlycarrell7467]

You did a beautiful job! Great video! Easy to follow instructions. I subscribed quickly. Keep posting!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you very much! And I will, working on a video now!

[@Love72Yourself]

I would have way over thought that goldleaf. Well-done. So pretty. All I need is another craft that I buy hundreds of dollars of stuff to do and never get to 😬

[@CherelleDanae]

Lol it’s so easy!!! And I know I’m trying something new I feel like every other week 🤦‍♀️

[@BlkPearlQueen]

GO EXTRA! BE EXTRA! I LOVE IT! I LEARNED SO MUCH AND I WANT MORE! I SUBSCRIBED!

[@CherelleDanae]

Lmao thank you so much I really appreciate it! I’m currently working on filming a new tumbler video as we speak!

[@BlkPearlQueen]

@@CherelleDanae Yasssss #DIVANESS work it out but PLEASE GET YOUR WORTH! Those cups aren't $10 cups or let me get a discount cuzzzzz we know each other type cups...know what I mean, lol!

[@erinwilliams363]

This cup is gorgeous!!! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you very much! And you’re welcome!

[@madeleinefloyd2956]

Super job & great instructor!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!

[@CrystalChristianStore]

Its very important for beginners like me all the details. How long you leave in the turn tumbler in the last step?

[@CherelleDanae]

For the final layer? I let is turn for 4-6 hours and then I’ll just let it fully dry for 24 hours. And I usually, for these turners, just flip it sitting up so the cup is upside down.

[@CrystalChristianStore]

Cherelle Danae yes!😅

[@CherelleDanae]

Okay yes so I only let it dry for 4-6 hours, depends on the weather, since it’s warming up here only takes about 4 hours now. And then With this turner I’m able to just sit it upright and let it set for - full 24 hours for it to dry completely!

[@amandaleimbach2669]

Beautiful and BRAVO for speeding up the parts that we didnt need to see in real time.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!!

[@yvonneattard7415]

Wow appreciate your videos,how do you clean brush ?

[@CherelleDanae]

I keep a cup of water nearby and rinse it off in there and then will just wash it with dawn dish soap and water

[@michelekerrigan6260]

I think this is by far the best one I've seen. Do you sale them?

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! And currently I do not. I’m taking a break from selling things at the moment

[@daciasdiy1861]

Oh my god i would have never thought to print out the leopard instead of Painting it, that’s cool

[@TinaM95]

Dacia's D.I.Y's did she use a regular printer to print it on vinyl paper?

[@CherelleDanae]

I just found a print I liked on google and I used my cricut machine to cut it out!

[@TinaM95]

Cherelle Danae So when you find the designs on google, you just send it to the machine and it prints it out for you? Also, would it be possible for me to use a regular printer to print those designs on vinyl paper and then use a transfer paper to take it off?

[@taefajohnson5113]

OMG.... So beautiful.... what did you say the name of the font was???? Thank you

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!! And it’s called Yessy You can find it on dafont.com

[@msalethia6673]

Love it.. you have definitely gained a new follower.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!!

[@serryjanewinkler5406]

Hey, I have been looking for the clear labels...(PATY)

[@paragonn22]

Good job!!!

[@Ashleyb191]

Love it can't wait to start trying. I hope you are careful with that epoxy. It's some pretty nasty stuff if you don't use the proper PPE.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!!! And good luck! And I did, but I no longer use epoxy and switched to Crystalac products, to ensure me and everyone in my home are safe. I’ve seen too many people have bad reactions, even when using proper PPE

[@stephanielivingston900]

Awesome work! Love it!

[@glendajohnson9991]

What is the name of the font you ised abd where did you find it

[@mariaviewsforyou7942]

that looks so awesome, great idea , thank you for sharing

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you so much!

[@Spain42]

What brand of transfer paper do you use? Looks like a good one

[@CherelleDanae]

It’s just a big roll I got off of amazon! I love it because you get a lot and it’s not too sticky like most are. amzn.to/3m2VdvP

[@fosterknowles8388]

thank for the video after i apply my glitter i spray it with my clear spray, but when i when to apply my epoxy the glitter was still moving

[@CherelleDanae]

You might have to apply a few more layers of the spray paint. Sometimes I have to do 3-4 thin coats, waiting 30 minutes between coats!

[@begwenly]

You should rustoleium spray paint in gold I tried the Rosegold one and I absolutely love it

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! I’ll have to try that one!

[@Des4purpose]

Beautiful, how did you do the font and name?

[@Ulove_bebe]

You made this look sooooo easy but I just know it's not! Lol! I definitely want to give it a try though!

[@CherelleDanae]

Lol it takes practice!!! I binged watched sooo many videos before trying and just took my time making them! I say just jump right in if you want to try making them! I started off with keychains to get use to the epoxy at first, so I wouldn’t be wasting it since it isn’t that cheap!

[@Patriotic57]

How did do the font in Phonto? What size of font?

[@anabelsandoval3703]

Beautiful love your method too!

[@CherelleDanae]

thank you so much!

[@enashajir622]

Can you tell me which photoshop you used. I know you said the font was yessy on the photoshop as well... not sure if you made another video with steps on how to do it

[@CherelleDanae]

I have photoshop 2020, their monthly subscription one. And I just downloaded the yessy font from dafont.com and am able to use it on all of my editing softwares.

[@enashajir622]

@@CherelleDanae thank you!

[@girlzintexas]

Will you please do a tutorial on that front please

[@CherelleDanae]

Yes I can do that for you this week!

[@Spain42]

Such a great video... thank you!

[@CherelleDanae]

You’re welcome! And thank you!!

[@daciasdiy1861]

I’m asking again about the turner , uts so cute

[@mizzcherry221]

What do i put in my cricut space for to find leopard print

[@patriciagraham6926]

Awesome job!!!! Where is the cheetah design?

[@CherelleDanae]

I found this one right on cricut design space I believe it’s $1 if you don’t have cricut access. You can also find some free ones right on google but just searching cheetah/leopard svg

[@patriciagraham6926]

Cherelle Danae thank you!

[@CherelleDanae]

You’re welcome! I found this one on google that I used before! pin.it/7FfzVGY

[@hushhh2474]

Probably a silly question. Are these tumblers dishwasher safe after you make them? Love the look by the way.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! And no they are not dishwasher or microwave safe!

[@PUREICANDI]

What app did u use on your phone!! New subbie!!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! And it’s called Phonto

[@VigoandCo]

So pretty!

[@CherelleDanae]

All Things Jenn thank you! ❤️

[@prettynikie]

🔥 How much epoxy u think I would need for a 17 oz. Tumbler?

[@CherelleDanae]

I usually use the same amount. So I would say 20 oz total, so 10 oz of each, to be in the safe side!

[@arlenesargent1615]

Absolutely beautiful!!! Thanks for making this video 💜💜💜. How did you do the hearts with the name??? And can I do this font on my cricut?

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!! And it’s a free font called yessy from dafont.com. And to use the hearts you use these on your keyboard ..... [ ] And it works on your cricut as long as you download and install the font

[@daciasdiy1861]

Yes i need to make this pool noodle hack

[@CherelleDanae]

It’s the best and so quick and easy!

[@fosterknowles8388]

also how did you get your vinyl in gold and white

[@CherelleDanae]

I just used two different vinyls. So one is white and one of gold. For the name I did an offset text (adding the extra border around it) I have several videos on how I do this technique. One video on how I do it in photoshop, one on the Phonto app on my phone and one on cricut design space (cricut now has an offset feature)

[@kjhagey8176]

Is that font layered or did you have to do that? BTW, BEAUTIFUL JOB!

[@CherelleDanae]

I had to make it myself it only comes one layered and I made an offset/outline of it on the Phonto app. I have a video on my page on how to do it!

[@CherelleDanae]

And thank you!!

[@fanc1973face]

Nice! Where do you buy the glitter?

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you and They are listed in the description box.

[@debbieo2967]

Awesome tumbler? How did you the white on gold for the name. Did you cut each color separately?

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you and yes I had to do each color separate and just layered them on top of each other! I cut them using a cricut machine

[@debbieo2967]

Cherelle Danae Thank you you did a great job layering! I have a Cricut and haven’t tried layering text yet. Love your videos

[@stephanielivingston900]

where in cricket can i find the cheetah/leopard print please?

[@CherelleDanae]

It’s under images, if you search cheetah it should pop up around the tenth photo

[@kristiescott4359]

Love this cup, love the tutorial, another way you can soften your lines, if you choose, is to use washi tape. Please use safety gear with epoxy, its very dangerous, it may be years before it has effects on your lungs but permanent. Again, thanks for sharing your beautiful tumbler.

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you so much! I will definitely try that! And I no longer use epoxy! I switched to using crystalac products!

[@daciasdiy1861]

Beautiful ! Did u build your turner yourself ? I have the grill rotisserie’s but i never did anything with them, i see yours is going faster then the ones I see

[@CherelleDanae]

Hey no I bought this one off of amazon! I use it way more than my handmade ones and find it more reliable and even purchased a second one!

It’s soooo pretty !!

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you!

[@hippiesister100]

Do you have other videos on how you tape off half the tumbler

[@CherelleDanae]

I do not sorry.

[@TREWHIT1]

This came out nice. I don't know if you know this but you can sprinkle the glitter on the spray paint while it's wet. It saves time and sets in good.

[@CherelleDanae]

I’ll have to try that one day! Thank you for the tip!

[@wendygray8725]

Where do you get your tumblers? Love the video and the cup. Thanks.

[@CherelleDanae]

Usually from mothertumbler.com I also look for clearance ones from Walmart and Walgreens usually has them for buy one get one free so I’ll get some from there as well! And thank you so much!

[@julienoe260]

What kind of epoxy do you use?

[@CherelleDanae]

Hi, I used Pro Marine Epoxy

[@toniwade4204]

That's awesome! Going to try this. Did you print on clear vinyl? Where did you find it?

[@CherelleDanae]

The leopard print it just black vinyl and the name is gold metallic vinyl and black vinyl layered on one another

[@shelbylorigan9905]

So after you do the black, do you let it dry before you do the gold? Sorry if I missed it.

[@CherelleDanae]

Yes I let each different layer dry before doing the other color!

[@jessinparadisefalls6179]

How long did you let the paint dry before you could put tape on it without ripping off the paint ?

[@CherelleDanae]

I only waited a few hours, probably like two max. The spray paint didn't come off but a little of the acrylic gold paint did come up.

[@CrystalChristianStore]

How long you leave your spray sealer?

[@CherelleDanae]

probably at least an hour before moving on to the next step!

[@desipena1944]

How many times did you apply epoxy after the vinyl part?

[@CherelleDanae]

I apply two thin layers

[@daciasdiy1861]

Do i have the items for what you used to make your pvc stand ?

[@CherelleDanae]

I see if I can find the names for the pieces, I got them all in the same location

[@CherelleDanae]

I followed this video! She has all supplies listed In the description box! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzdlplunsZ0f6s

[@choclitsuga]

A new subscriber here and I wanted to ask how you did the shadow with the Yessy font? I watched vid how to do but don’t know how with the different extra stuff ex. The hearts

[@CherelleDanae]

For the hearts each capital letter has a heart on the front of it and to add the heart at the end of a word, you have to use this symbol, } , on your keyboard. When you download the font from dafont if you go to the information on the font what show you all the symbols that makes the different hearts! I hope this helps!

[@CherelleDanae]

And thanks for subscribing!!!

[@prolific568]

Are you making pretty good money selling these? I’m going on maternity leave soon and want to do something sort of similar to this to make extra money. Also what websites do you sell on?

[@CherelleDanae]

I just do it for fun right now and only sell locally and as a side job when I have time, along with doing party favors. But you can definitely make good money off of selling cups! I currently just post my stuff on my Facebook business page whenever I remember 😂 but I pretty much sell word of mouth currently. I would say Etsy and Facebook are great places to start selling until you gain a good clientele then I would make your own business page to avoid all the fees through Etsy. And please make sure you use proper ventilation and Mask and such since epoxy does have dangerous fumes when mixed.

Thank you for the video! It is very helpful. Where did you get the black glitter? I have yet to find one that sparkles under epoxy?

[@CherelleDanae]

Thank you! I just uploaded the link in the description that will take you right to the glitter! It’s “Fix My Streets” by Mr. Nola

[@DohDoh05]

I got the font only problem I can’t get the hearts at the end of the text only the beginning. How do you get it?

[@CherelleDanae]

For the first letter I just use a capital letter, they already are made go have a heart in front of them. The for the heart at the end I used this symbol on my keyboard }

[@CherelleDanae]

If you go back to the font on dafont.com in the description box it will show you all the different characters on your keyboard that makes different hearts

Cherelle Danae which phone app is there you can do font offset

[@kimberlylyt]

What font did you use?

[@CherelleDanae]

Yessy You can find it on dafont.com

[@ashleighnt]

Where'd you get the tray underneath from?

[@CherelleDanae]

I actually got it off of amazon. I’ll give you the link, but I just checked and it says they are out of stock so I’m not too sure they’ll be selling it still or what. But honestly just search for a silicone mat, anyone will work since epoxy doesn’t stick to silicone. www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q375N4J?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

How big is your name?

[@CherelleDanae]

I believe this one was 7”. I just use a tape measurer to decide what size

[@teresavazquez3164]

Did you sand before taping?

[@CherelleDanae]

Yes I prep every cup by sanding them and cleaning with dawn dish soap!

[@teresavazquez3164]

Cherelle Danae thank you!!

[@cassiwingo4017]

Oh no! Please tell me you're using a respirator and have proper ventilation, especially with kids in the house! Once epoxy is mixed, it becomes dangerous and gives off dangerous fumes, if you don't believe me, please do your own research!

[@CherelleDanae]

Yes I have and use both! It’s hard to understand with the respirator on, that’s why I’m working on making the rest of my videos actual voice overs.
