Sublimation AND Epoxy Tumbler | Super Sweet Tumbler Tutorial

[@staceycollins9232]

Very cute tumbler. Some people are always negative and I’m happy that you don’t let it bother you. I always use painters tape all over my sublimation process. Have a beautiful day

[@lareinarena2422]

It was the next slide with you drinking from it for me! 😂😂😂 “I’m keeping it”

[@ourlifewithoils3648]

Ohhhh Courtney! Let me tell you why I love watching you and being in your patreon group... YOU ARE REAL! I was watching (really listening) to this video on my drive home tonight and burst out laughing when you were talking about the tape around the cup and that you were gonna keep doing it that way! You go girl!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Lol thank you so so much!! I’m so thankful for your support💜

[@arlineology]

I love love love that cup you are awesome thank you so much for sharing. I just started doing sublimation on tumblers & I learned from watching your videos. I love the painters tape method! But I did look at other ppl Etsy so I& saw how their cups looked more advanced & I got discouraged until I saw this video so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

[@melissa.martin]

You keep doing you! If painters tape works for you then so be it, I use masking tape for mine; I've tried the shrink wrap and I don't like it. lol

After watching a video of you using painters tape on sublimation I started using it too. I love this method. I also accidentally learned that you can also sublimate using the bake option. Thanks for all your help.

I think we all have our own "best" way to sublimate our tumblers and I have tried several ways but I've learned the hard way and I find the shrink wrap doesn't work well for me.....use/do what works for you....enjoyed your video!

[@CraftableThings]

Hey Courtney!!! New subbie! Currently binge watching your videos. I loooooove your tumblers.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Aww thank you so so much!!💜💜

[@lakeiagriffin2254]

That's the easiest way to do the drops and it came out so so pretty and I tape my tumblers with painters tape too and it really works

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thanks girl!! I love doing the drips this way it’s so much easier. And yes the painters tape works perfect lol

Beautiful as usual. Do what works for you. When I did my drips I thought I wonder how puff paint would work, so I did it and it came out pretty good. Just an idea

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I’ve never tried that I’ll have to get some. Thank you 💜

Always do what's works for you, I know the tape method works better for me it does not melt or burn. Oh by the way I Am A Big Fan of yours, love your work.

Hey if painter tape works for you go for it I actually tried both shrink wrap & painters tape and I prefer the tape 😬

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you 💜

[@racquelknowles3536]

I love it..... I still cant get my image to cover the whole tumbler Courtney HELPPPP a girl out

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I use a flexible tape measure to get the size I need and then print with an app called print to size, which I believe is iPhone only. Are you struggling with sizing it right or just getting it on the tumbler right?

[@racquelknowles3536]

@@CourtneysCustoms I'm a newbie use 5 tumblers already some were upside down🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ I'm using inkscape and I'm losttttttt!!!! I use my measuring tape but I'm still not getting my image to cover the whole paper.......so both I guess.

[@SuperBrowndog1]

I've been trying to find a video of how to make these tumbler lids fancy and pretty. Can you do a video of a Halloween tumbler and lid? Thank you 🤗 Your donut tumbler is so pretty.

[@ggjflyguy]

you should look into a tumbler press, then all that tape not needed. check out PNW Blanks and Sublimation

Can you share where you got the link on Amazon for the donuts I can’t seem to find those particular ones it would be much appreciated….thanks

like the way you do the drips I'm a beginner so really dont want to work with epoxy more then I have to!! but i was wondering can you and glow powder to the drip and work??

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! Yes you can definitely add glow powder

[@jloredo1988]

so did you epoxy the just the drip part or was it the entire cup? Besides the top

[@deeschimmel5972]

Spoke with Dewayne at Bama yesterday when i ordered a new turner. Told him i loved yours. He spoke very highly of you "Miss Courtney" ! WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO ORDER SUB TUMBLERS ? GOTTA MAKE AN ORDER TODAY.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Aww that’s awesome!! DeWayne is very sweet. I get all my sub tumblers from MJT Custom Designs and More!!

[@traceyrach9663]

I epoxy over a sublimation and it peeled off. What epoxy do you recommend? I used art resin

[@sandracarrillo5150]

Love it. So the epoxy is fda safe?

[@lei00418]

I prefer Painters tape over shrink wrap. So yay us lol

[@susanbomback5917]

Hi courtney I was wonderingI got the turner from bama like you but my skinny 18oz does not fit on the foam where and what do I getfor that . I have to tell you are the best. I have a membership but I do not know where to go to get on it . I guess you can tell I am new at this

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Hi Susan!! Thank you so much I appreciate that!! I believe Bama Cups offers tumbler inserts for different size tumblers that will help hold them onto the turners☺️ but I just have multiple different sizes of pool noodles lol

[@kierstynkj]

Thanks for doing this video! What do you search on Amazon to find the little donuts? What material does the item you put on the top of the tumbler need to be made of ??

[@CourtneysCustoms]

There’s a link to the donuts in the description

[@jessicatijerina5180]

Questions do u have vedio of how u rolled the tumbler ❤

[@sandybrickman1392]

I just started wondering if you can epoxy over a sublimated design. Didn’t see why not until I saw you’re supposed to sand the tumbler so the epoxy will adhere better. Do I need to sand? Thinking you will go over this. I just started this video, lol

[@smbrezina]

Hi Courtney! I love your tutorials! I did my first set of drip cups yesterday. I did the modpodge, acrylic paint with corn starch. I have not done epoxy over it yet. With that said, it looks like there are air bubbles that have popped in addition to chunks from the corn starch. How do I prevent this? I feel like I did stir it well…

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Hi!! It sounds like maybe too much corn starch

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

Your thought process behind making your tumblers…. 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!! Girllll you’re killing it!!! The drops remind me of icing! Do you only sell your merchandise on Patron?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Aww thanks girl!! And I have merchandise here and on Patreon too😊

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

@@CourtneysCustoms ohh okay gotcha!!! You’re so welcome!!

[@lilyb4573]

Love this idea !! Does this become hard like epoxy ?? Will it break off ??

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I epoxy over the entire thing so it stays 😊

[@lesalee680]

Do you have to prep sublimation before you epoxy ? Can you use sublimation cups and just vinyl wrap epoxy whatever ?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I didn’t do any sort of prep before epoxy. And yes sublimation tumblers can be used as epoxy tumblers if needed

[@deniseellis6769]

very cute

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you 😊

[@KristianaW]

Looove the finished tumbler and completely understand why you wanted to keep it 🥰 and love the tutorial .. thanks 💕 Just wondering did you sand down the sublimation layer before adding the epoxy. I have never worked with epoxy and have a whole lot of “sublimation” tumblers I bought off Alibaba and they ended up being really bad quality for sublimation and now need to figure out how to use them, so thought I could epoxy over them and maybe try my hand at water slides too 🥴 🤷‍♀️

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! And yes definitely sand them down first 💜

[@liveartcreations8498]

After you sublimate your tumbler do you prep it for epoxy? Just wondering if epoxy will work over sublimated polyester coating that the tumbles come with?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

With this one specifically I didn’t sand it or anything because I didn’t want to mess up the design. I just went right to epoxy. But if you have a blank sublimation tumbler you can sand and prep it for epoxy!

[@margojohnson7481]

Hey I love watching your videos! Question if you convert your printer can you still use it like you normally would like for water slide and printable vinyl and things like that?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! No once you convert to a sublimation printer it can only be used for sublimation

[@margojohnson7481]

@@CourtneysCustoms ty!

[@paulacollins7268]

I’m going to try your method. I’ve tried everything from taping, butcher paper then in shrink wrap. I still get spots that aren’t making contact no matter how tight I believe it is. Maybe the tape method will help me.

[@tovaharris1810]

Love Love Love it....its so pretty Great job. When your using your conventional oven...the cup is tall... do you lay it down or is it big enough to fit a 30oz tumbler standing up.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you!! It’s pretty short so you have to lay them down in this one

Oh ok Thanks Courtney....You do a fantastic job. Looking forward to see what you have in store for us next.....and Thanks so much for your replies.

I absolutely LOVE this cup! I had wondered how people got those drips on their Dunkin’ cups and now I know and am ready to do my own. I do have one question when you did the apoxy did you put it over the whole cup? I’m assuming you did but want to make sure. Thanks for doing your videos they are so helpful.

Do you sand the epoxy or sand the cup before apply epoxy? I wish I could have seen the process of putting the epoxy on a sub tumbler. I wanted to add a little sparkle to my subbed cup but don’t want to mess it up

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I didn’t sand anything. I was afraid of scratching up the image

[@TaylorSimmonds-q2i]

How do you prep the cup for epoxy? I’m having issues getting the epoxy to cover the cup. 😞 I’m wondering if it’s the epoxy I’m using.
