Glitter Swirl Tumbler

[@kathleenmackie6550]

Does anybody else get hypnotized watching those sparkles twirl????✨

[@mommymawmaw1852]

I have let my 6 year old watch your tumbler vids. She will sit and. Watch until I tell her she needs to go play. Your purple glitter tumbler is the thing that got her mesmerized. Think I have a fellow DIY partner in the making. 😃

[@MySoulOnFire]

Aww, that makes me so happy that she is enjoying them too. My 11 year old is usually watching all of my tutorials and helping me with the camera. It's nice to have your kids share similar interests.

Awesome glitter. What's it called, plz. Thx

[@Christine-rx8di]

how do you not end up with a glitter dam? it looks like your using so much but its probably just how blingy the glitter is. i had to strip my cup and start over. your cup is so beautiful.

[@MySoulOnFire]

There isn't as much as it looks like there is, but it is more than I would use on a typical epoxy method cup to make sure that it flows. Sometimes it looks like it's going to clump and I just hit it with a bit more heat and then give it a minute to spin.

[@meagonnieausey4819]

Will you show how you clean up your cup? Is the inside lip taped? You do go over the edge, as you mention but I have had some big messes on inner lip. Less than a month making cups. Trying to get edges down. Appreciate the help!

[@MySoulOnFire]

I posted a tutorial on this.

[@DayaIntenta]

That is beautiful. But im wondering, at what point donyou clean up the inside rim of the cup?

[@christinacasalini3610]

I cleaned the inside about 30 minutes into turning by using a cotton swap and alcohol

[@Oonagh72]

Those glitters look like jewel dust! You should also sell the drips as epoxy stones!

[@merriemarks6553]

Where did you get the purple rain glitter? it's so pretty

[@RottenRobyn]

I actually like how your machine kind of hums and sings as it turns. I thought you had music on in the background at first!

[@loismaddux4800]

Where are you? I watch for new videos from you all the time! I miss your videos. 💕💕

Sorry, I took a bit of a break but I am back now. I just posted one last week and I am in the process of editing another right now. Thank you so much for your support.

[@DrTerryPowell2]

Am enjoying your video but I found that if you place your bottles of epoxy into a container with hot water and let them sit for about 10 minutes or so... part A is so much easier to work with. Also when I did this... I found that when I combined both parts... there were little to no bubbles.

[@robinhanff4248]

Beautiful!!

[@MySoulOnFire]

Thank you!

[@sammiep8378]

Beautiful! I can’t wait to try this. How do you make sure that the epoxy doesn’t go inside the cup?

The other day I use acc quick dry and my eyes the next day were all swollen and red. I really like it too but I think I'm allergic. Have you had that problem? Now what do I do with the leftover I have grr

[@lauravaladez389]

I loved this one and just tried it but was scarred to pour too much epoxy that when I sprinkled the.glitter it wasn't as thick as the video. How can I add more glitter??????? T.y

[@MySoulOnFire]

I'm not really sure what you're asking. For this cup you do need more glitter than the average epoxy method. It not only needs to be able to flow, but some will also drip off as you are heating it up.

[@MiaAgnewRealtor]

Hello love these. I would like to make my own for family members. Can u PLEASE tell me Where is the least expensive place to get the cups and glitter and glue and vinyl wholesale? THANK U IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!❤️🦋

[@ravenwood5215]

Awesome!!!!😍😍😍

[@HFDay-qi6yc]

Wow Its so cool!! Seeing the colors swirling . Do you put another layer of clear on after 6 six hour ? How about sand it?

[@MySoulOnFire]

I do not sand this first layer, I put a second coat after about 12 hours and then vinyl if I choose. Then I would apply a final coat.

[@lucyhare5524]

So you do not top it again after it's done? I can see with all the epoxy, it's probably sealed enough, but just asking.

[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

How beautiful love it 😍

[@kellybowman5487]

Beautiful cup. Do you put another layer of epoxy over the glitter after this layer has dried?

[@miyaimagez7493]

Great job! Do you have to use heat gun?

[@empcreations20]

DO you cover the inside in case any of it goes inside? If it does is it still safe to drink from?

[@MySoulOnFire]

You can but I just clean it up afterward. I have a video on how I did this.

[@Britneymphotography88]

Love this color....Can I get hole thing at Walmart because I just to do one for my self

[@ladyj6482]

No.

[@marthafink3227]

If you apply a thin coat of epoxy will it swirl less? or you must epoxy a thick coat

[@MySoulOnFire]

It won't swirl as well, plus you will possibly end up with not as enough epoxy left on the cup.

[@jcrum007]

Love this tutorial so much, thank you for doing it! What kind of heat gun are you using, if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve tried other things with an embossing gun, but it doesn’t seem to move the epoxy like I need it to.

[@MySoulOnFire]

I agree about the embossing gun. Some people have success with them but I have not. I actually took over my husbands craftsman heat gun. I'm not sure if you have any near you but harbor freight actually carries one that is very reasonably priced and works wonderfully.

[@jcrum007]

Thank you! I’ll run down to Harbor Freight tomorrow!

[@kaylynnnewsom5395]

Could you post which glitters used and names

[@jstreet421]

How long do you let the paint dry?

[@courtneyreidell8505]

What would you suggest the base color be for a swirl with orange, green and purple glitter?

[@MySoulOnFire]

I usually use the lightest color as the base. So, probably the orange. If you put a green or purple base then it could show through and change the color of your orange glitter.

[@ACLU-kl7tm]

Can you use a blow dryer?

[@MySoulOnFire]

I haven't tried a blow dryer, however, I have my doubts that it would get hot enough to move the epoxy like it needs to.

[@krystlegiuffre4387]

Hi, I like the color from glitter bulk. Can you share the links please.

[@blinksbill1138]

i have to ask, where do you get that tool that spins your cup and do you just leave it continuing to spin for the full curing time. Thankyou for reassuring me about alumilite. I just purchased some and have never heard of this, and I'm nervous to do it because there are so many warnings people make about it possibly not curing, creating bubbles, exc. My name is not blinky btw, its alina

[@bdbear10]

Is that food-safe resin, or do you not use the cup for drinking from? It's beautiful.

[@MySoulOnFire]

Thank you! It is. That's why I use the brand that I do.

[@kimdefluiter6742]

I did my first glitter tumbler last night. Not sure if it’s the colors I used or if my heat gun was too hot or too close but....my glitter just blended together and the base of cup is raised all around with epoxy. Do you have any suggestions of what I might have done wrong? Your cups are amazing!!

[@MySoulOnFire]

Thank you. It sounds like too much heat. Not necessarily that it was too hot but that maybe you applied the heat for too long or too closely. Apply heat for a bit until it starts moving well and then take the heat off. You definitely don't want the epoxy to look like it's being blown around by the heat gun either. If you have raised epoxy at the bottom chances are your cup is just tilting that way on the spinner. Just prop something sturdy under the base of the spinner to tilt it back the other way and make it even.

[@tracimcrae8487]

How much epoxy did you use? Is your turner level? Too much epoxy will swallow the glitter (unless you are doing a flow, like this great one). If your turner is not level or your tumbler is not situated correctly, your epoxy will gather at the lower end.

[@kimdefluiter6742]

I just finished tweaking my tumbler and even built another. Everything is perfectly level now and going to try another!😜

[@victoriadeyot9321]

Wow! I didn’t think I was going to like it and then BOOM all of a sudden everything shifted and it swirled! What an incredible technique! Is it the heat gun that does that? Do you need something like a kitchen torch or will the heat gun I use for embossing work? Thank you so much for sharing!

[@MySoulOnFire]

Thank you! I imagine your embossing gun would work nicely for this.

[@MySoulOnFire]

Thank you. I get the ozark trail brand from Walmart although around the holiday they are hard to find. I don't always sand in between layers. It depends on the cup. These don't typically need it. It's usually the cups where I use mod podge and pour the glitter on that need sanding. I never dry sand. It's too harsh and dust gets everywhere.
