GLITTER FLOW TUMBLERS || WHICH SOLUTION WORKS BEST?

[@crissycreatesofficial]

Soo I have been told from a few people that the glycerin molds..Since this is the first time using it I haven’t experienced that myself BUT I will keep an eye on that and update you all as needed. I’m also going to test a few other mixtures🥰

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

It isn’t the glycerin that’s molds. It’s the water. You just need to make sure to use distilled water 💜

[@janesfavsvideos]

I added just a little alcohol to my mix to avoid any future mold

[@jessicajrollo]

I've heard it's the water in the mixture also, so you have to use distilled. I use distilled in all my artwork, so I always have it on hand.

[@priscillay713]

Hi did your cup ever mold? I’m curious because I just bought the one you recommended before finding out that it can mold.

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

@@priscillay713 you will be fine as long as you use distilled water.

Thank you, I’ll give that a try next!

[@angelab3931]

How do you use the frosting tip?

I just bought the same brand of glycerine! If you use purified or distilled water and fill the cup with the solution there shouldn't be any mold or clouding issue with the glycerine.

Hi, are you talking about the vegetable glycerin? I know there’s two kinds, the food grade one and other.

I love all your videos and this one was so helpful! I’ve been getting ready to start snow globe tumblers and out of all the videos I’ve watched on the different methods, nobody has done one video comparing all the different methods at once, so thank you for making this! And thank you for using the same cups and glitter for all the methods so we can really get a good comparison of how each method looks when finished, the perfect way to compare. Now I am off to make my own tumblers, thanks again for such a great video!

[@crissycreatesofficial]

Thank you so so much!

[@lyza1390]

Tried the glycerin last night. This was my first time doing this. This morning my tumbler appears to have less liquid and that creates an airy space at the top. Your presentation was great. I appreciate your effort to share your gifts so others can be blessed also.

[@janmcconnell2240]

I watched someone else do this and what they said was that there is a lot of air in the glitter so once you shake it up by putting your finger over the hole let it settle, add more liquid to top and repeat a few times until there is no more space for liquid

[@annettelacey7913]

How much glysaring to how much glitter please?

[@tbpaslay]

So thankful for you making this video! I tried the glue and water and I think that with your mixture you may have added too much glue. I have yet to find a good ratio to mix but I've noticed that if I fill up the cups to the max with no room for air pockets, it is a better outcome for the glue mixture. Shaking glue and water is going to give you the bubbly mixture that you are getting here. When the glitter is stuck at the top of the cup I hold it in my palms and shimmy the cup back and fourth quickly and it disperses the liquid into the glitter better. Hope this helps! Thanks again for making this awesome comparison! I really enjoyed it!

[@jessicajrollo]

This was so helpful! I've seen different tutorials, but no one has ever compared them side by side. So helpful! I really like the look of the glycerin best! Thank you!

[@jiminlover8212]

This has been very helpful to see 4 at once instead of separate videos. Once you got the dixie cups and had them labeled I immediate thought this is just like a science fair experiment!!!

[@crissycreatesofficial]

I’m so glad it was helpful! Yes it was definitely more of an experiment type video rather than a tutorial but I had a great time with it💖💖

[@purplemermaidtumblersandmo385]

I like the comparisons. My favorite is contact solution mixed with glycerin for a great flow.

[@crissycreatesofficial]

Omg! I’ll have to give that a try next lol! There’s just endless possibilities😄

[@draginlowpos]

What is the ratio you used for contact solution and glycerin?

[@purplemermaidtumblersandmo385]

Which solution did you use?

[@ctconn35]

I have been wondering what to use and I am so happy you did this video. Now I know glycerin it will be with the tips from the other designers❤️

[@danicab12]

I have used both the glycerin and water and glue and water and both work great! The key to the glue and water is using 1/4 glue to 3/4 water ratio, rather than the 50/50 like the glycerin.

[@crissycreatesofficial]

Thank you! I will definitely try again using less glue and see if I like it better.

[@danacas1324]

I also think mixing the glitter in the solution before can help keep it from clumping in the cup.

[@coralnichols5878]

Water needs to be hot too

[@fefe047x]

What brand do you use?

[@kalichick88]

Can you add glitter with the glue and water?

[@patriciareynoso8812]

So I also make these cups and use the glue method. You need to add more liquid to the glue one, your getting bubbles because if you shake it, it sloshes around making bubbles. Also its much faster using condiment bottles to fill, so much faster than pippets. My cups liquid flow slower and suspends the glitter longer.

[@sasha7173]

All my glitter is getting sticks at the top of my tumblers. Has this ever happened? Should I just use chunky glitter?? I know this is old but if you read this I’d love your advice

[@hisgal2]

I'm glad you did this...it saved me from having to do this experiment myself!!! I've been learning how to make these types of tumblers and I'm wondering if there is a reason you didn't fill the entire void with the different solutions? Is there a reason you left as much air-space as you did?

[@kianichols1434]

I was wondering this too. I know you have to allow space for the glitter to move but I thought it could have been filled more with the solutions.

[@mayceeh.6017]

Most people do after about a day or so, the solution needs some time to air out depending on which one you go with and typically from the videos I’ve seen, it takes at least 12-24 hours for any bubbles stuck in the glitter to come out to the top so when you come back to the cup the next day you’ll see it’s lower than how you filled it. Then you can add more to your liking. But I know some people like to have a lower amount of liquid like she did

[@lauriesusen4481]

Thank you for taking the time to compare these. I like how you used glitter for the bottom in the fast set.

Was unaware about molding so I may try a few drops of bleach. Can’t wait to make these. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information.

[@ambersanagustinsannicolas8052]

For me , the glycerin clumped up my fine glitter and there were chunks and all of it rose to the top if it sat still . So basically there would be some glitter at the bottom, the middle would be clear and the top would be the glitter (turned into chunks) at the top . The glue , for me that’s my favorite . I didn’t have any trouble putting the mixture into the cup using a syringe . I filled it up all the way to the top. As much as I possible could do there aren’t as many bubbles . ☺️

[@tbpaslay]

I agree!! I just tried the glue and water and I like it but I think I could have used more glue. I haven't found a legit ratio of glue to water so I'm testing waters. I also fill up my tumblers to the max, no room for air pockets whatsoever. I don't like that way they look half full of liquid. What ratio have you been successful with the glue and water mixture? thanks!!

For some reason I’ve never heard of this happening to anybody else but when I use the glycerin for my Starbucks snowglobe and Tumblrs because I have a small business and I sell them I let one sit for a few months before I actually ended up starting my business and the glycerin ended up molding which was really weird because I’ve never heard that happen to anyone else or maybe just people don’t talk about it but I thought it was so odd, now I use like 80% water and 20% glue but I just don’t know how I feel about it I want that super pretty slow flowing make sure without it being bubbly or molding

I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s actually pretty common from what I’ve heard but I personally have not have it happen to me.
