Glitter Tumbler Tutorial for Beginners | Step by Step, Start to Finish

[@sherylmorgan3678]

Being a newbie to tumbler designs, I can't tell you how helpful this tutorial has been to me. I have had so many fails that I was about to give up. This tutorial has given me new hope! Thank you so much.

[@madebymal_studio]

Oh this makes me so happy! I’m so glad it’s been helpful for you 🩷🩷 don’t give up!

[@sophielafleche3803]

It's great to bring it back to the basics sometimes

[@madebymal_studio]

Absolutely!

[@kathyyount482]

I truly wish I would’ve had someone do this when I first started. This broke everything down and was easily understood too!

[@madebymal_studio]

I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you 🥰

[@nahnisjourney1406]

#REPLAY I’ve been wanting to try this. I have everything, but I’ve been so reluctant to try it. Thanks for doing this beginner video for us who have never done this before, and want to learn. 5:02 By the way, I live near Tybee Island. 🏝️ My friend lives there. Donna Coastal Georgia

[@madebymal_studio]

You can do it! And thank you!! 🩵

[@efajard88]

Thank you so much you have no idea how much this video has helped me visualize how a glitter tumbler should be done

[@craftinnikki]

This is the best glitter tumbler tutorial I have watched. Thank you for breaking it down so well. This was so helpful, you are amazing!

[@madebymal_studio]

I am so happy to hear that it was helpful! Thank you SO much! ❤️❤️

Loved how thorough you are in your videos! I'm new to epoxy and applied glitter, sealed, then epoxy, sanded, epoxy again. I'm on the third coat and the tumbler feels grainy. Is it the glitter I used? Not sure how to get this thing smooth. Do I need to sand more? It felt smooth before the epoxy and now its grainy (as if it was glitter). Your advice is much appreciated, thank you! My next tumbler I'll try epoxy twice before I sand - based on your video. Hopefully it does the trick. Just don't know if I can fix the other one that I already created.

Thank you for this! I’m not a beginner and I’m not in your high class of creating, but it’s alway good to go back to basics.

[@robinanderson6452]

Great tutorial! Thanks for trying to share the love for tumbler making!

[@Kera.S.]

Thank you for finally explaining WHY you should prep tumblers. I have been wondering why and no one ever says lol I enjoy watching these videos yet I am not interested in actually adding another hobby, nor do I think I could slip it by my husband 😂 Even though I don't do this art I love watching it and my personality likes to know all the knowledge either way. Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge. I appreciate your time and help you give so many people. ❣️💙🤗

[@madebymal_studio]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LostSiren13]

[@DeniseMartin-s4j]

Very helpful tutorial being new to this craft. Thank you.

[@laurie-lionessnotaewe5902]

Thank you, so much for this! My almost 48 yr old brain needed some help, for sure! I loooove the music, too. Very disco-esque!

[@madebymal_studio]

You’re so welcome! 🩷 And thank you! I love me some disco! Lol

[@Kathy-Carr]

This is so pretty! I love that it’s so simple…the beautiful glitter color doesn’t get lost with printed vinyl(s). Thank you!! ❤

[@madebymal_studio]

Thanks!

[@mariannepagnotta8100]

So much great information! And another beautiful glitter application and cup!

[@madebymal_studio]

Thank youuu ☺️

[@veronicatrevino7550]

Thank you for all your information. Cute tumbler.

[@madebymal_studio]

You’re welcome! And thank you!

[@cindypappleton4430]

Thank You for taking the time to do this 💙

[@madebymal_studio]

Of course! 🩷

[@stacylampack7483]

Thanks Mal! I’ve already learned so much from you. You explain things so well! 😁 Do you mind me asking, what is the distance between each of your glitter shelves? It looks so perfect!! 😁

[@madebymal_studio]

Thank you! I’m so happy to hear that! I think I made them 8 inches from the bottom of one shelf to the top of another

[@PaulBulldog]

what was the name of the stuff you put over the decal first before the epoxy

[@madebymal_studio]

Glitter glue from the crystalac company

[@PaulBulldog]

thank you

[@tonibeadles3077]

I thought it was polyacrylic? Could u link which one from Walmart you use? Also, can that be used to seal the glitter?

[@angiesartkraftykreations3677]

Great tutorial Mal!! I’m sure this video will be helpful to many!! Love the quote and the beautiful blue glitter ✨! Take care sis

[@madebymal_studio]

Thank you so much! You too! 🩷

[@dorothysilver6212]

Thank you

[@sierramurpheywade6492]

Can you use glitter spray paint to speed up the process

[@madebymal_studio]

You probably could, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

[@blondefoxcreations]

When you are waiting for the first layer or epoxy to dry with the glitter on it, do you let it dry on the cup turner or on a stand? Thank you for this tutorial. I love watching your channel!

[@madebymal_studio]

I put it on a stand :) and thank you so much! 🩷

[@annaw8838]

Thanks for sharing

[@madebymal_studio]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandralutz7475]

Great tutorial, thank you. Can I seal my glitters with clear spray paint?

[@madebymal_studio]

Yes you absolutely can!

[@KimberleyPaige1]

Is there any advantage to using spray paint over the brush paint?

[@madebymal_studio]

I don’t think so. It’s just a matter of preference. For some designs spray paint is way easier (like peek a boos and ombres, etc) but other than that I don’t think one is better than the other

[@sugars3036]

im a new and was wanting to know more about your decals how to get them and how to apply them or can any sticker work. thank you

[@madebymal_studio]

you can use pretty much any sticker. I create a lot of my own SVGs, but also get a bunch from Etsy and Creative Fabrica. I cut them out on my Silhouette Cameo. I hope that helps!

[@thequiltedpaisley]

So pretty ❤❤

[@terim3173]

What trype of vinyl do you use?

[@michellewiley]

do you have a video of how to make the offset?

[@heatherdean2421]

I haven't started messing with tumblers yet, but this video made me feel comfortable to start. Random question, is it possible to have you list everything you used here in a comment? I don't want to miss anything when I'm getting it.

[@madebymal_studio]

I love hearing that! Everything I used in the video is listed in the description box 😊

[@ej527]

Hello. I am watching videos to embark on the journey of making tumblers (yes I am a beginner but the other way sounds better 😅). I absolutely loved your video. It is extremely helpful thus I have now subscribed. My questions about this video are 1 - Why wasn't the decal added after sealing the glitter but before adding the epoxy? 2 - Can it be done that way as well?

[@madebymal_studio]

Thank you! You can’t put a decal over a rough glittered surface or it will look bumpy. So I always glitter, seal glitter, epoxy, sand, then decal. That ensures the decal goes on a perfectly smooth surface and looks the best it can!

[@madebymal_studio]

Also, sealing the glitter just makes epoxy application easier. That step isn’t necessarily mandatory, but I always try to do it if I have time!

[@ej527]

@@madebymal_studio Thank you - I understand now....🙂

[@victorialyles237]

Do I have to used the fast epoxy

[@madebymal_studio]

Nope, you can use regular!

[@sherryjones7268]

Where did you get the tumblers from?

[@madebymal_studio]

I think that specific cup is from Craft Haven

[@jennifer21842]

Hello!! Can you please, please make a video of your top favorite colors. I keep ordering glitter online, and when I receive it, it's not what I wanted. I would love to see your top 3 blues, reds, whites, pinks, etc. TIA❤

[@madebymal_studio]

Great idea! I’ll add it to my list.

[@Rosecrochets]

Hello have you tried using glitter paint on a tumbler if not could you try it out I'm really curious

[@madebymal_studio]

I have not tried it! My guess is that it would work! But it won’t give you this level of glitter/sparkle

[@PeggyBeaty]

I wish you would be more specific on dry times and wait times between coats of epoxy. Especially for beginners. Your method seems good but your wait times etc even amounts of epoxy used are not clear.

[@madebymal_studio]

It heavily depends on your environment, type of epoxy, time of year, & other factors. If I told you my exact dry time, your experience could be entirely different if you’re under different circumstances. For example, for a fast setting epoxy, I could wait anywhere between 2 and 6 hours, purely depending on the temperature of my room. It’s trial and error. But I would recommend reading your bottles of epoxy for the recommended dry times and directions for use of that specific brand.
