Experimenting with Patterned Foil on 3 Tumblers - What Not To Do!!

[@joank3609]

You are a hoot! Made my night watching you...I love when we can see someone make mistakes & laugh about it!

[@Luxinda]

I made soooo many mistakes while learning about using these foils! But every once in awhile, something would go right 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for watching!

[@Oonagh72]

I need a megaphone 📢 to thank all of the wonderful artists who make me feel capable and unafraid to fail.

[@Luxinda]

It’s just what happens sometimes when you’re learning 😁

Thank you!! Glad it was informative 😊

[@michellebooth3588]

You crack me up! Even when you make a mistake "everything is fine". You sound like me. Well I'm more like "I meant to do that" or "no one will notice it but me". I would like to see you do the rainbow foil next.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks so much!! 😁

[@Wickedkittin]

I went in to this video thinking you meant foil wrapping paper. So glad I was wrong, I really enjoyed learning something new. As to the next foil to use - aqua daisies!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@martymattoon7231]

I like the print on foil. Thanks so much. As soon as my foil arrive will do this. Sincerley Thankyou

[@Luxinda]

Have fun!

Oh I have to say Aqua Daises, the holographic on that was amazing.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you! Yes, it really is! 🤩

[@robynmelkerson1448]

Aqua daisies for sure! So glad I found this tutorial (by accident!). I’ve learned 2 important things. I like how you teach and I will NEVER do foil :). I lack the patience and confidence to try something like this. Excellent job for you though!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!😁😁 The foils are so beautiful, but they really frustrate me every time I try them. 🤣

[@Dragonlady237]

Love your experiments! Whatever you choose will no doubt be intertaining AND informative, but I do like the holo shards.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@Sulzie65]

I just got my cup! I love it! Thank you again. Wish i could post a picture.

[@Luxinda]

Oh good - enjoy! 😁🥰

[@christinabright9270]

I LOVE the crackled foil look!!!!!!!

[@erikacastaneda2913]

Ooohhh, so pretty. I vote for Aquq Daisies .. a side note about the cup that was sealed with the matte sealer... it adds a rustic appeal to it. I love it. They are all beautiful 😍. Thanks for all of you wonderful videos.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!!

[@amybooms8828]

Rainbow or Aqua Daisies!! Thanks for sharing your mistakes to help others avoid making the same ones!! Your final cup is beautiful!!

[@Luxinda]

Thanks so much!😊😊

[@sanditubia5061]

So, I've done the foils on a couple cups. I used Elizabeth's double sided adhesive sheets. I got a bit ambitious and cut desines into the adhesive paper. Not a great idea. It was a PITA to apply that to the tumbler. But, the foils did like the stickiness. I have a video of it. I had tried Tack It, on some test pieces, but didn't get the the adhesion I was looking for. And fish eyes!!!! Yeah.... You did a great job.

[@Luxinda]

Oh!! I thought I’d searched pretty well for other videos - I’m so sorry I missed yours! I don’t even know about adhesive sheets 😳 I’ll watch it straight away, and thank you for mentioning it here! Thanks very much!!

[@Luxinda]

Found your video - I love that cup and how you did it! I linked your video in my Description with the other videos for this transfer foil stuff. 🥰🥰

[@shellybirmingham6288]

aqua daiseys is my vote

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!

[@marymattern1117]

Love the Aqua Daisies and the rainbow! I've done foils once and badly 😅 I learned from you in the 'what not to do' phase. The cups are cool. I even liked the sprayed one that lost the holo. (and p.s. I have now watched a Lumi ad all the way through 😉🙄. Only for you! )

[@Luxinda]

🤣🤣🤣You rock!!! Thank you very much!! 🤣😁

[@loriswitala4679]

I agree with all Mary said! You showed me EXACTLY what booboo's I would have done!! Now.... I was wondering if you would ever consider using raw wool or bamboo (which is really shiny) in one of your cup designs?? No one had done this and since I spin yarn I have a bunch of it but I am too scared to try this myself!

[@kambismith1224]

Aqua daisy....I do think striping them all would be awesome!!!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!

[@vonellevanzant237]

I love this! What a fun technique that makes a beautiful cup! Thank you for sharing what you've learned. I'd love to give this a try. ❤️. I like holo shards.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!! Have fun with it!

[@cynthiaslater7445]

Wow, I like this procedure! I will try this soon.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! Have fun with it!!

[@shane5647]

Absolutely stunning 😍, Aqua daisies

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!

[@carlaschlesinger5434]

I love it, I think it turned out great! I’d love to see the silver holographic

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!😊

[@gloriagreer3218]

The holographic shards would look awesome!

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! They’re very cool!

[@susanplunket2717]

Aqua Daisies

[@Luxinda]

Thanks very much! So far, Aqua daisies seem to be the overwhelming favorite 😁

[@mltbkr]

Aqua daisies is my vote...I love fall colors so the foil of leaves is so pretty! Thank you Cindy for experimenting. When I see that your video is for 20mins I said YES!!!! love love your videos and yes when the struggles occur we all learn from you. "it's ok it's ok it's ok" lol

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much!! I expect other folks see the length of the video and cringe, so I'm glad to hear you like the more complicated videos that seem to take ages... 🤔🤣

[@JC-lj4gs]

The tumblers looked so pretty! I haven't seen this done before so thanks for sharing! And my vote is for aqua daisies :)

[@Luxinda]

Thank you very much!!

[@wtglb]

I tried the foil on a cup a few months ago and didn’t get a good result, watching this makes me want to try again. Thank you!

[@Luxinda]

Oh, definitely try again! It’s fun, but there is a bit of a learning curve (obviously - lol!) Thank you!!!

[@karolosteen3313]

Thank you for sharing this! I've not seen this technique before and fell in love with all 3 of the cups :) I love all the designs you showed to vote on but, I think the shards or aqua daisies :)

[@Luxinda]

Thanks very much!!

[@valR978]

Love your videos, they always brighten my day. I’m fairly new to tumbler making so love to see techniques that are new to me. I appreciate how you show any experiments that don’t go to plan also, that is a great help for learners like me. By the way, I’d love to see the aqua daisies.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you very much!! The aqua daisies seem to be the preferred choice, at least so far 😁

[@savagetwin52]

They all are beautiful. How about putting another pattern foil over the one you sealed? Like a leopard pattern? It's already epoxied. That would definitely bring back the glittery. I saw Dixie Darlins do it.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks!

[@therileys3625]

I vote for the aqua daisies or holo stripe. Love your videos so much. i don't know that I have the patience for the foil. There would be lots of cussing and possible cups flying. 🤣

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! There’s almost always cussing in the craft room 🙄🤬🤣

[@jennifer72765]

My vote is for aqua daisies or holo strip. My husband was even laughing when you said It’s fine, It’s fine everything is fine

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! Yes, I was trying hard to convince myself... 🙄🤣

[@martinavanhoy3023]

Those cups turned out gorgeous!! I think you should try #1 or #2.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you very much!!

[@lilaflohr602]

I vote for the Holo stripe or just plain holo! Ive wanted to do this for so long. Thank you for showing me how it really goes, not as smoothly as some others have shown. I didn't see it used on a tumbler, but on faux counter tops. Rhonda from Rk3 channel uses foil on a few things. She has some great techniques too. The leaf foil is still not my favorite but at least you saved some cute foil that you didn't practice on. Hahaha. ❤💛💚💙💜🌈🌠

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! Yes, I gather you can foil all sorts of things, like pumpkins! I have a couple old tables that I want to do a resin top on, but maybe foil could make an appearance on one of them… 🤔😁

[@rebeccajordan8277]

Aqua daisies is right up my color alley and I’m sure you could figure out some snowflake Christmasy something to make it relevant to the season. Also this tumbler came out so cute and I just love the unicorn.

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!!!

[@ctconn35]

Yours turned out beautiful mine was a fail after trying to remix and refix

[@Luxinda]

Thank you! These foils are really frustrating. I’m using some in a video I’m recording, and the curse words coming out of mouth were astounding. But the darn foils are so pretty 🤩

[@pamdirnberger7231]

Gorgeous! I have to try ❤

[@Luxinda]

Thank you -- have fun! 😊

[@Oonagh72]

For small spots that didn’t transfer use a craft stick to make it lay down. Use was water based varnish to seal your foil. And Dixie Darlin creations uses foil.

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! Yes, she’s listed in my Description area as one of the videos I mentioned.

[@renesysval]

I hope you will do one in Holographic Daisies!

[@kayscreativeboutique]

I"ve also seen Rhonda from Rk3 use foils on countertops. So glad you experimented! I would like to see you use the Aqua Daisies! Site has some beauties for sure! Looks like a great way to do a "guy" cup with no glitter! Wonder how the solid colors would look and if you would have to be careful to not have any wrinkles?

[@Luxinda]

Thanks! Yes, she's getting mentioned a lot, so I'll def check out her videos for more info! I also have other foils that I didn't show for the "pick the next cup" question, and some of them are solids, so I'll be trying those on a tumbler to see if it works or has too many issues.

[@Shadingoftheheart]

@@Luxinda Rhonda is incredible -- her counters are literally works of art!

1st choice rainbow stripe, 2nd choice aqua daisies

Thank you!

[@brendamejia2553]

I’m so happy I came across your video and started following you! Firstly you are amazing and you keep me laughing during your videos and you truly inspire me to want to try doing and using other stuff that I’ve been scared of doing! Thank you so much ❤️❤️ What do you use in your epoxy for your final coat to get it to sparkle please? Thank you 🌹🌹💜

[@Luxinda]

Thank you so much - I’m very glad you enjoy the videos!! The sparkle comes from an ultra fine white opal glitter called 504 from Mr Nola’s Glitter (bit.ly/3A1AIdB). There is also Brite from Peachy Olive Glitter (bit.ly/3ycxAdd). Either will work 😊✨

[@flyingkikidesigns]

Great informative video !!! I would have done everything the Same way you did ! Would u use a gloss clear sealer like CCDIY quick coat or no sealer at all ??

[@Luxinda]

Thank you!! Great question! I’m not sure. Gloss spray or the quick coat might work or they might also dull the holographic aspect of the foils. The only way to know for sure is to try it, but I haven’t done that experiment yet. In the meantime, I’ve been going straight to epoxy with no sealer.

[@Red50able]

I just found your channel, the cups are very pretty!

[@Luxinda]

Thank you and welcome!! 😊😊

[@maryslack6169]

I would like either the colorful stripes or the shards

[@aaronfuksa2047]

I have fast set resin...25+ minutes or less to tack the foil on flatter surfaces, never seen it done, but i hope it would work.

[@Luxinda]

Seems like it should although I haven’t tried fast-set on foils yet.

[@debipresley5378]

I just used this and I love it, definitely have to let dry at least 1 hr, and roll the foil slow, I used a nail brush and was satisfied, perfect is overrated 🙂

[@VLX20689]

Hi Luxinda. After you apply the foil did you give the cup any extra time to cure before epoxy?

[@Luxinda]

Great question! Yes and no. I didn't do it intentionally, but when I finished putting the foil on, it was too late in the day to go to resin since I had other things happening. So it didn't get resin'd until the next day. I haven't tried going to resin immediately or very soon after applying the foil, so I don't know if that makes any difference. It shouldn't, because the adhesive under the foil is already dry, and the foil is dry. But I suppose the adhesive with the foil on it might set up a little more over time? Maybe.

[@helenradley4498]

Thank you for this video, I have looked at 1000’s of videos and you have just given me the biggest smile with your tutorial. I am new to tumblers (live in Australia) and I have used these foils but on a different medium. They are stunning to say the least. Thank you again for your inspiration and I look froward to viewing your past and up coming videos. By the way where is Ranson WV located?

The foil I’m using in this video is called Garrison Glitter. Here’s a direct link shop.artisticpaintingstudio.com/products/garrison-glitter

[@Linneydenise]

@@Luxinda Thank you. It came out beautifully. So pretty...

[@michellesweet667]

How do you seal the mugs

[@Luxinda]

Do you mean sealing before I apply a coat of resin? I don’t - I learned that this foil gets dull when I spray a sealer on it, and adding resin doesn’t bring the holographic sparkle back. So I specifically don’t seal. Once the foil is on the cup, I go straight to adding a layer of resin. That may result in “fish eyes” where the foil repels some of the resin, so a second layer of resin would be necessary to solve that problem. Hope this answers your question!

[@michellesweet667]

@@Luxinda I was just wondering if you sealed them with epoxy

[@Luxinda]

@@michellesweet667, oh I see. Yes, I make resin tumblers, so they’re all sealed with epoxy resin. Thanks!!
