All I hear when I see this cup is “May the force be with you”. I’m from the original Star Wars days. Love it!

[@paxtonprojects]

Thank you!!

[@kayantoinette]

Wow!

[@paxtonprojects]

Thank you!!

[@kayantoinette]

@@paxtonprojects so how did you get the white so specifically localized on the cup? Did you hold the spray paint close to the surface?

[@paxtonprojects]

@@kayantoinette very carefully! 😆 kidding but yes pretty much just did a small burst a little closer than normal. I wasn't too worried about cast off spray because they just became stars in the galaxy. But I would be careful to not spray to much to cause a drip. Hope that helps!

WOW love this cup. i was working with inks on a cup for water and waves while watching this. Could you do a vid on water, waves beach etc. Following :)

[@paxtonprojects]

Thank you!! You are in luck. I have 2 beach tumbler videos on my channel!!

Good afternoon! This is one of clearest instructions for this beautiful tumbler I have seen. Thank you so much. May I ask what you have setting there holding your inks?

[@paxtonprojects]

Thank you some much!!!🥰🥰 It is a lip stick/nail polish holder i got at Dollar Tree!

[@kayantoinette]

Did you have any luck making your own alcohol ink? I’m trying to make my own.

[@paxtonprojects]

I did!! BUT it takes a LOT of ink to make it dark. I got a light blue which I needed for my beach cups but I put a lot of marker *sticks* in that little jar and it still wasn't that dark.

[@beckydelphia1517]

Absolutely beautiful!! The 2nd glitter that you added, what kind is this and where did you purchase it?

[@paxtonprojects]

I used an additive Cullen from Featherbear Glitters but anyone that is holographic silver would work. Then I added Transcendent in a mint color but very very very little just tiny sprinkles really just a pinch in a few places. Then I use Bling from Reflections and I do the same thing i just pinch it in places that are really black like it's a burst of stars far away. Hope that helps!

[@beckydelphia1517]

@@paxtonprojects yes thank you!!

[@balliesykora1614]

After you put on the alcohol inks on, but you spray seal or anything? Or did you just go straight in with epoxy?

[@paxtonprojects]

No sealing no nothing! Just epoxy right over it! I do let it dry for awhile. Like maybe a day or a half day. I don't know if it matters I just do🤷‍♀️🥴😍

Did you spray paint the white areas

[@paxtonprojects]
