Perfect tutorial!! Tysm for this! 🥰 New subber!!

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@jruss1085]

Go to your channel and I love it

[@vevp8287]

This seems so much easier than vinyl

[@scooterpoot620]

OMG!!! Looks so awesome!! 👏🏽👏🏽 Wonderful tutorial I was laying in bed last night thinking about tumblers and I said to myself “I wonder if fabric works good on tumblers?” because I have an influx of fabric and then I seen your KZbin this morning!! I’m so excited to try this! thank you so much for your video!

[@CreativelyErica]

Thank you so much!! 💓 That's awesome! Definitely recommend trying, they're so fun. When you do them, I'd love to see how they turn out!

[@aandrews012087]

Loved this! Finally a tutorial that actually went thru each part of the process lol do you have one for sublimination tumblers? I can't figure out the easy part- printing a custom photo for transfer lol

[@arvisebell9020]

Love it have can you do it with denim or corduroy?

[@brendaking5751]

That looks great I would like to know if you could do it with the liquor bottle

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks! I don't see why you couldn't. Might have to trim and pull the fabric around all the curved edges a little more but I think it'll work 🤔

[@donnamiller4776]

I am interested in making these but I was wondering what you used to attach your Tumblr to while applying the epoxy?? What makes them spin?

[@user-ky4hy5hn7p]

lovely tutorial but you didn't show what you do with the top of the tumbler? how do you finish it so that it is safe to drink from the top?

[@JelscreationsNmore]

Thanks for the tutorial where do you get the tumblers

[@gerardor1985]

I've been trying to find a way to keep the little corners of the vinyl down and not lifting when adding resin epoxy. Going to try to put a first layer of mod podge and see if it works. Thanks for the tutorial

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks for watching!

[@marjoryabell5828]

Nice!! So cute!! What kind of fabric did u use?

[@tiffaniw6722]

Can’t wait to try! Awesome tutorial! Where do you get your sticker from?

[@CreativelyErica]

Yes, they're so fun once you get the hang of 'em! Thanks for watching! I got these from Avery, ordered online when I had a coupon. But I've also printed them at home before to save money whenever I don't have coupons if I run out. So if you buy the sticker paper template and you have a decent printer, you can print your stickers on their sticker paper- super handy!

[@denikkafininen2881]

Hello! I love this video! I tried it with my cup and it worked so amazingly well!!!!! I wonder do you have to deal with epoxy only for final layer? I want to see if you are able to do just the modge podge only?

[@stephanieallen6406]

No it would rinse ofd if u just use mod podge

[@cepparul]

I just watched this & was wondering what are you using to make your tumbler spin with the football & pvc pipe? Btw I’m totally new to this.

[@sparklemint2458]

I was wondering the same thing?

[@jeremyhammack1594]

Now I know what to do with my “mishaps”. Cover them in fabric.

[@ebonyelder665]

Thank you for the tutorial. I’m tried one the other day b4 finding your video and it didn’t come out good. Did you wash your fabric before putting it on the tumbler?

[@pclewis9]

When you spray painted the bottom and put your sticker did you put poxy over it to make sure it stays as well?

[@JacobAndMorganBurgess]

How long do you let the cup sit to cure fully after the last layer and what kind of epoxy do you use? I just started making my own cups and after my last layer and letting the cup sit 24 hours it still seems a little tacky.

[@Jacbean10]

Very cute! Any tips to help hide a bad seam? I kinda have a bit of an uneven seam on a tumbler. Ugh…

[@CreativelyErica]

Thanks! You could add washi tape, or glitter, even some vinyl 🤗

[@Jacbean10]

@@CreativelyErica thanks! I’m pretty new to tumblers & this is my first fabric one. I just make them for gifts.. but I still strive for perfection!

[@karensmith3881]

Awesome 👌...wondering if glitter glue would work to put fabric instead of mod podge?? Also I bought brite tone, since I've heard it's better than epoxy. Could I use that instead? If you were to glitter or add vinyl, when would you do this? Thank you 😊

[@CreativelyErica]

Glitter glue should work, don't see why it wouldn't. Let me know how you like the Brite tone, I haven't tried that yet so I couldn't tell ya. & if I were adding vinyl, I'd add it after the tumbler is perfectly smooth (after a few coats of epoxy). If I were adding glitter, you could add that after the first coat I'd say. Hope this helps!

[@karensmith3881]

@@CreativelyErica ok...I've seen 1 or 2 people (videos) use brite tone, but I'm like...man it's like 8-12 coats all together. It's suppose to be better than epoxy for your lungs, smell and you don't need gloves when applying. I was curious if you've ever tried it as well with epoxy. I'll give it try...thank you 😊

[@rnugitt]

Can I ask why when I sanded my seam it left the cloudy mark and I couldn’t make it clear looking?

[@conradpower7724]

Hi I was going to try this, but with a didgeridoo instrument. It’s fibreglass underneath. I want to use material to have a finish like with your tumbler. I am trying to avoid the ‘wet material look’. Do you think that would work?

[@brendaking5751]

Can you put fabric on a liquor bottle with resin

[@heathermeharg6207]

At what point would you add any vigil detail like a name?

[@RainorShine1]

How does the fabric not to start to peel on the top when u dont cut the fabric down away from lip as the resin dont seal it if you leave fabric to the edge. I see ppl use edge cuter then glitter. Love this way but not sure if fabric lift on top

[@laurahostutler300]

Does it matter what kind of fabric you use?

[@sherrygrahek3246]

is it ok if the fabric overlaps a little?

[@CindyKimmy]

are these dishwasher safe or had wash only

[@samanthasauruswrx]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! For wearing a dang respirator! I'm so so SO frustrated by the lack of education for safety when working with epoxy. Great job!

[@zakiyyahlynn4966]

May I ask what you used to sand your tumbler??

[@CreativelyErica]

I just use a sanding block with a medium grit

[@clarissaharris5345]

Hey what is this fabric called ?? Woven cotton??

[@p2mAngil]

i am running into an issue where i am getting brown spots on the tumblers. looks like its on the fabric layer. have you ran across this?

[@miryamdelatorre3431]

It means the fabric was not sealed properly and epoxy is getting underneath /:

[@juliebishop2400]

what epoxy do you use??

[@quillajefferson8110]

What size is the fabric

[@trayjones84]

Hi is the fabric doubled

[@CreativelyErica]

Nope, just wrapped once and sealed

[@mzzcaramel100]

How much u sell them for

[@snapsbymeli]

Buy the top... you didn't show the extra fabric. What did you do there

[@sari92078]

Omg my Walmart have them .99cent and characters $1.47

[@CreativelyErica]

🙌🙌

[@michelleb.4929]

those "little squares" of fabric are called fat quarters. And wouldn't it be easier to measure the tumbler and cut the material to size....?
