How to layer alcohol ink

How I got a boho stag alcohol ink layered tumbler

[@TabsNails]

So neat that’s for sharing ❤

[@lovelyone3710]

Why is the paint coming up when pulling up vinyl...what vinyl should be used? Should I back the first colt of ink then apply clear

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Brooke don’t use 651 that’s the one that pulls up the paint. This was a stencil mask so the sticky part isn’t as strong

[@loysheker]

Hi. May I ask what do you call that holder you placed inside the tumbler. Where to buy?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

I made it with a PVC pipe and a foam football

[@michellebidart1254]

Thanks for the tip on baking! I was trying to come up with something other than epoxy

[@janjacobs375]

I think you still need to epoxy.

[@andreapitre1978]

So i did my cup like this in latte, now i want to add a decal and a darker color over the decal...my question is after I applied the latte and its completly dried, do I spray a clear seal and then place my decal and apply the darker color...im lost help please

[@rockinjw3352]

Ugh... I need suggestions please! I used Oramask 813 to make my own stencil. Before applying any ink, I sprayed the cup with gloss white and dried for several days. After applying lighter color of alcohol ink, I sealed the cup with spray sealer. It was a few days before I had time to work on second layer, so the alcohol ink and sealer were definitely dry. Placed the stencil, went over cup with darker alcohol ink. Immediately removed stencil. When removing stencil, in several places it pulled off ALL of the payers underneath. The sealer, the ink and the base coat... All the way down to the stainless. I have started over twice already with the same results. What am I doing wrong?!? THANKS!!!

[@kathleen42666]

First off, I LOVE your cups. Thanks for sharing the tutorial!I bought the Cricut removable vinyl to cut my own pictures. I stained the first layer. Did a light coat of the rust oleum clear and I couldn't get the vinyl off! It was scratching the ink. I tried it without the clear and same thing. Any ideas? I ordered the letters from Hazel & Ruby but I hate I can't add any pictures. What am I doing wrong? And mine turned colors, too, after spraying the light coat. First time trying this. Help! Please!

[@kathleen42666]

One more question. Is the baking reserved for the very end. Right before you apply the epoxy? Or do you bake in between the light and dark. Since I messaged you above, I found that the window clings might be the way to go to cut the shapes I want and still remove easily.

[@wvjku2008]

I just finished a cup and sprayed it with ultra 2x clear and the ink lightened up and ran . Have you this trouble before?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

John Ross no I haven’t. I do light coats at a distance.

[@wvjku2008]

@@sistersmakingcreations5148 Maybe I got to close?

[@melissasandoval3994]

How do you remove/clean spray paint from the inside of your cup. For stenciling your cup did you epoxy the cup before you place the stencil?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Melissa Sandoval I use acetone to remove any paint in tumbler. No I just clear coated and then put the stencil on. It’s not like 651 vinyl.

[@melissasandoval3994]

@@sistersmakingcreations5148 Thank you so much for your reply!

whats on the stick to hold the tumbler

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

imfrom Australia lol we don't have that here.but what do u do put a hole all the way through?

[@cherylmccuistion9420]

Gorgeous just love them. I so enjoyed your tutorial... I am going to make these for the men in my family for next Christmas. thank you for sharing your awesome talents. I look forward to watching many more. Great Job!!!

[@crazyheifer19]

I see alot of people saying spray it with clear coat and every time I spray my cup with clear coat turns it green it that normal??

[@armuniz1489]

Mine too! Haven't found the trick.

[@MyAmber333]

I put the epoxy first coat on and it turned brown....is that normal.. and now on my white decal its brownish from the epoxy

[@sraile]

I dont understand the 50 % alcohol part at the end... do you mean, after you finish with the color ink & remove the vinyl, you then just dipped the brush into straight alcohol and ‘painted’ over it, correct? If so wouldn’t the alcohol kind of wash away the color ink designs?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

SR MeOw I use the 50% alcohol when I have all my ink down to smooth out any rough looking marks. That’s my personal preference 😊

[@freddiehager2044]

It’s really beautiful! You did a wonderful job of this!

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Freddie Hager thank you

[@mariacastillo3543]

Is it possible to use a stencil that i cut out with my cricut?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Maria Castillo yes I believe so just not with 651 if you have a base color under. It may pull it off.

[@7o4o]

Help meeee lol I clear coated mine and it turned green LOL is it cause I didnt bake it?

[@haleybarnitz55]

Randi Nicely the epoxy can turn your cup green. Was your clear coat and alcohol ink completely dry? I use the krypton gloss clear. It usually does the trick

[@maggiepeterson6329]

Can you do a darker first and then lighten it up for the second one?

[@brandysantos3854]

Can I use vinyl adhesive to do a logo for a stencil or will that be to sicky

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

brandy santos I’ve seen people use it but don’t use the one that’s meant to stay in really well or it can pull up your paint.

[@bethhairelynchard2154]

I'm wondering if cricut brand window cling might work? I have a lot of it, may have to try that! :)

[@janjacobs375]

You might try Oracal 631. I believe that is a repositional vinyl.

[@chandraheidel355]

I was dying when the tumbler kept trying to roll off. I'm like, why is that my life all the time? 🤣

[@MyAmber333]

I'm super confused, did you paint the stencil?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Amber Hoff I did a layer of light alcohol ink then placed the stencil and went over the whole cup with darker alcohol ink.

[@MyAmber333]

Ok. So painted the stencil first.. then placed it on the cup. Because its already that wood color before you placed it

[@MyAmber333]

Nevermind.. I understand now lol I'm learning

[@christinacarson6406]

It's painted over from painting her last cup, she reused the mask

[@chrisfurlin2011]

Where do you buy your alcohol inks from? Great video. Thanks.

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

I purchase my inks from Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

[@freddiehager2044]

Thank you for responding so quickly 🙂 I was just curious. I’ve not done one as of yet. Still trying to get my nerve up!!!

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Freddie Hager you’re very welcome 😊

[@ricksbabeeeangel]

Why did you use the alcohol over the entire cup after you had everything placed?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Lisa Cosby i was saying if you want to clean off the ink if you didn’t like it you could use alcohol to clean it off to start over.

[@mariadarco6917]

What type of material is the "mask"? Is it cling material?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Maria D'Arco not sure. It’s called a stencil mask.

[@mariadarco6917]

Thanks.

Gorgeous, ingenious and so helpful! I couldn’t find “removable” stickers for my tiles, so I will see if I can find these. Exactly what I am looking for. So beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Can you share where you find those cool tumblers to paint? Thanks again for sharing, your work is so pretty and unique!

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

3PairDesigns thank you. The tumblers were bought at Walmart but they are no longer making them anymore.

[@melissasandoval3994]

Awesome job! What was the name of the stencil you used?

[@acaciaanthis5838]

Just a thought - to keep your tumbler from rolling around while applying the stencil, use some removable wall putty. Question - Do you bake the tumbler before or after the clear coat? It looks great, btw. I will more than likely attempt this for Christmas gifts. Thank you.

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Acacia Anthis thank you. I baked before and after.

[@bellacrafty9369]

When you are completely finished with the cup how do you seal it do you use epoxy

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Annabel Morin yes I epoxy them.

[@bellacrafty9369]

Thank you.. do you happen to have a video on your epoxy process. I️ am trying my first cup

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Annabel Morin I don’t. I need to do one 😊

[@Chellenunley]

What are you using for your stencil? I was using vinyl and it will not stick for me after I seal it.

[@JudiChristopher]

BEAUTIFUL ART...

[@gigilockridge406]

How long did you bake the cup and at what temp... great video

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Gigi Lockridge I bake for about 15mins at 200 degrees

[@kbag7792]

Do you think cricut vinyl or window cling would work for the stencil?

[@kylelake2349]

Have you tried to use a vinyl stencil by chance? Does the alcohol ink stick to triple thick? If so, you could triple thick over the first layer of alcohol ink, place a vinyl stencil and then do your darker color over.

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Kyle Lake no I've not done vinyl stencils. I found this and went for it. I've see where some of the ink were coming up under the vinyl.

[@mhnavarre]

Do you have a video of how you taped and prepped the cup and what you used to prime and paint it? Also do you have to use flat paint or is gloss ok?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Hari Navarre I do not have one. I use flat white primer and didn't tape off anything on the tumbler.

[@freddiehager2044]

Have you done one with reverse colors with the deer being the darker color and the tumbler being the lighter?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Freddie Hager no, but that’s something I can try!!

[@icanglam2574]

I notice you talk about “baking” your tumbler. I am new to this can you tell me why and what to do?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

I Can Glam it’s just preference. I use it to help set my paint. You need a small oven and bake at 200 and bake for 35-40mins

[@twylasmith5831]

can I put it in my cup heat press instead of the oven? Do I seal it before or after putting in the heat source?

[@vanessaa2868]

Were can i find the stencil material??

[@hollyrobertson4397]

Do you have to use Epoxy when you are done with the alcohol ink? Thanks!

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Holly Robertson yes if you don't want the ink to run.

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

At the end of the video you recommended possibly clear coating and baking it several times. I'm assuming you've already mentioned this in a tutorial so could you either give me details in the comments, refer me to a previous tutorial that includes this information, or do one of them in this technique you referring to as a tutorial video? I for one would greatly appreciate it. I'm just not sure if you're talking about and enamel paint from say folk art? Or or spray-on tight clear coat like Krylon which I've never heard of baking before. I'd appreciate your help and information, thank you!

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Moon Crafter Nails and more! I use a clear gloss spray paint from rustoleum

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

TumblersbySenia Yessenia Burrell thank you! But what did you mean by baking?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Moon Crafter Nails and more! You use a roster oven turned on its side and you put your cup in bake for 30-40 mins at 200degrees

[@atozrecovery518]

Moon Crafter Nails and more! Awesome video and step by step helped alot. Question do I need a tumbler Turner? If so do you recommend one?

[@mooncrafternailsandmore7907]

FATBOY LLC You posted your question to me instead of the channel but as I do tumblers as well I would say that if you plan on doing more than one or two of them than yes, I highly recommend you have a turner because you are going to get the best results from your resin. I personally made my own single cup turner. I watched a tutorial and did it my way, it was really easy!

[@stephaniemartinez1869]

could you use Vinyl as a stencil?

[@sistersmakingcreations5148]

Stephanie Martinez yes you can. I've not done it yet, but seen others do it.
