[@MileyonDisney]

WOW! So simple, yet so amazing. It's sad that you're still not making tumbler videos. You do some really good work.

[@02Huntet]

i so agree and i just found u

[@cab102361]

Thank you...THANK YOU for not playing music in your tutorial. Great tutorial, very informative.

[@Christine-rx8di]

agreed! some videos are so annoying, this was not! great video

[@ms.d6857]

I agree I don't know why people have music. Even radio stations use music in background when they are interviewing someone and usually the music is louder than them talking. Just too much going on for me.

[@racrx7]

“An accident becomes a technique”, that’s awesome!! I’m sooo gonna use that 😂👍🏻

[@deborahmarion2681]

You did an awesome job I love that color

[@dalurammeharra1227]

The method described in this video is very good, it will benefit me and others along with me.

[@SouravBiswas-tu8lg]

hank you...THANK YOU for not playing music in your tutorial. Great tutorial, very informative.

[@bethbriers774]

You were the first to post a video on this technique, so in my opinion, you nailed it! Love this! Will definitely be doing some, and giving you all the credit!! Beautiful!!

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Beth Briers thank you so much for that Beth.

[@BBGIRLAH]

Thanks so much! I have been wanting to try this and I had no idea where to begin...can’t wait to do this.

[@jennalynn7314]

That was so intense! I love it! I may try this as my very first tumbler! It’s beautiful and abstract! I love a good ooops that turns into an achievement!

[@maureentrotman7504]

Simple and informative you can't ask for better ..straight forward. Thank you

[@randawilliams9243]

I came across another video of someone making these, I like your videos more. Thank you.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Well, thank you so much. Mine is the 'original'. LOL I believe this video started it all. And I appreciate the compliment.

[@breazytotos]

I just found your channel thanks to your glitter flow tutorial and scrolling through your vids, I see we have a love of marching band in common! My kiddo is a sophomore in high school, plays mellophone.

[@rachaelgwyn]

Awesome!! Loved it! You did a wonderful piece!

[@teamcq9204]

Pretty cool. I tried this but for some reason it only ran in two spots and now I have high spots. How do I remedy?

[@pattdavis5711]

Thanks for the tutorial I now feel confident to try one. And thanks for not having kids running around in the background.

[@ferenovacaouniao3014]

I say to you thank a lot from here Brazil. God bless you a big friend humanity

[@tinahaynes175]

wow I'm gonna try this with Brite Tone which is from Crystalac. It's an epoxy free alternative. It looks so cool! Thanks for sharing. I was looking for some new techniques.

[@stephaniegray9757]

Wow! love it. doing my first one now, really fun. Doing a peekaboo so i can't wait to see how the final turns out.

[@MileyonDisney]

A GlitterFlow Peekaboo tumbler? That sounds pretty awesome!

[@tammyrifenburgh263]

Great work.

[@deborahmarion2681]

I love it pretty

[@jang.7025]

I love the design! I'm looking for design ideas that uses glitters since I recently bought this cup turner from HomeProShop on Amazon and it comes with glitter powder.

[@saravumao4037]

I knew you had to be from Alabama when I saw the colors! Lol awesome tutorial thanks so much!!

[@tammylovell5855]

Thank you for a great idea and tutorial!!

[@ms.d6857]

This was beautiful I may try this. I'm a newbie and love doing this. I have a question though what brand epoxy do you use, and is your area well ventilated? I've heard you either should wear a masks or well ventilated so I am on my balcony but it's spring now and wasps are out I don't know what else to do. Any information on safe products would help.

[@casey9843]

The tray underneath to catch epoxy is such a good idea omg..why didn’t I think of that 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@micheleyarbrough4468]

Hello I am loving this! But can this be done on a tall wine glass?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Michele Yarbrough yes. It will work on most surfaces and shapes

[@TheSoaringSeawardFamily]

Gorgeous

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

THANK YOU!

[@pennycrosby5770]

Wow that is so pretty! Great tutorial, I’m new very informative, this just might be my first one!

[@Vanillachica17]

This was awesome to watch! I wanna try this one day!

[@imelectrk2]

Pretty

[@TheresaScott50]

Great video. Do you have to sand it before you put a clear coat of epoxy on it?

[@shellyrobertson2398]

Beautiful ❤️

[@NicholeLovins]

WOW! I love this! New sub and great tutorial! I cannot wait to try this!

[@kellysussex9008]

Do you wait till the epoxy is fully dry to take the tape off?

[@saramcdaniel2360]

Hey, where did you say you got the little orange scoops for sprinkling the glitter?

[@barbwozniak4234]

Great tutorial! Thank you

[@rosellaerdmann200]

very beautiful thank you learned alot

[@latresastateman985]

How long did you wait before you took the epoxy off

[@brendawilliamson654]

Beautiful. I'm going to have to try this.

[@lowkeyren2051]

Do you use a respirator mask

[@candywilliams4415]

Where would I purchase what the cup is turning on the idea is great. Please advise.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

This was one my husband made me, but I now use a Kraken Mini Rotisserie (you can find them on Etsy).

[@traceyjackson8552]

This is fantastic, so pretty and what a great tutorial from you, thank you, your motor for turning, what type is it if you don’t mind me asking

[@randylovessandy]

That looks so amazing!

[@laurabowers2474]

So with the swirl cup you don’t need to put anything over the swirl after you put the glitter on?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Laura, I do add another layer of epoxy, because sometimes The glitter may not be completely smooth

[@brendawilliamson654]

After the tumbler is done do you have to do a oponxy coat again?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

BrendA Williamson I do one thin layer before decal and then my final coat after that

[@nailtimextori]

@janamays Will it be dishwasher safe when you add the epoxy top coat, is there way to make it dishwasher safe?

[@home-cookedandhomemade6295]

where did you get the machine to turn the cup or did you make it??

[@stephaniechurch5203]

What do you use to paint your cup 1st? Or do you start with a colored cup? I've seen some that sand their cups. Too many variations to choose. Great idea. Love the finished product.

[@jannavanderhoof4617]

Wow! I love this!

[@roseingram7527]

Beautiful cup

[@kevinholmes7212]

Awesome job, what kind of epoxy do you use?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Kevin Holmes I use COUNTER CULTURE DIY ARTIST RESIN. counterculturediy.com/product/acrylic-pouring-resin-artist-resin-1-gallon/

[@noellathomas]

I love this tutorial. I have one question. After this method as cured, is there a need for another coat of epoxy?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Yes, it isn't smooth. I do one more layer of epoxy (thin layer) and then my vinyl and final layer of epoxy.

[@jeshill822]

Can I ask the name n brand of the silver glitter that was used??? I need it lol

[@ashleythomason4590]

Great video!! I have a question... how do you prep your cup before paint?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Before paint I simply wash with Dawn dish soap.

[@cathyrezba3132]

I absolutely love the design the epoxy gives off, but using that much epoxy make me nervous especially when some falls off. I may try it once to see if I like it. 😉

[@michelebillingsley674]

Love the technique!

[@reboot530]

I love these tumbers. I want to get started but so worried about the epoxy. How do I get started? I have a cricut maker to make decals. How cups have you runied before you made one great. I love these as gifts. Please any advice.... Thank you Aaron these are amazing!!!!

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Hey Aaron! There is definitely a learning curve to doing them, but they are so much fun to do. All I can say is take that first step, make a few mistakes, and learn. Trust me, my strip bucket has held quite a few.

[@bethbriers774]

The tumblers can be stripped and redone. We've all messed a few (or more) up, but they can be stripped. Look on KZbin for how others have started. You need epoxy resin that is FDA compliant (ProMarine is my favorite, or Alumulite, as well as 1 or 2 others), lots of glitter, your cricut for decals, a turner (it's quite cheap to make, $30 for the grill rotisserie turner at Lowe's, and someone to make a simple holder; many KZbin videos for that as well), cups (I get mine from Walmart), and after a while you may want some alcohol inks, india inks, mica powders (eyeshadow works also, just make sure its is ground down to a fine powder), etc for other effects on the tumblers. Its definitely worth it. Good luck!

[@mitziarredondo3692]

What was the silver glitter you used? It’s so pretty...

[@lss51688]

Do you put a coat over top the glitter layer before adding the decal?

[@aaliyahtipton1681]

So did you spray paint it white first?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

I did. I give a quick go over with steel wool, wipe it down and tape it off and then spray paint them white.

[@christinademers4192]

This is so awesome! How do you add the decal without hurting the design?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

I apply another thin layer of epoxy over the glitter after the initial layer is dry.

[@cellienaalvarado5253]

What are you using to spin the cup with? Awesome job! Love it!

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Celliena Alvarado it is a turner my husband built. I am not using it any longer as I have switched them all to Kraken Mini Rotisseries - on Etsy

[@dawntsamantanis143]

Love this wow. (: you a great teacher..!

[@karennixt2879]

Great tutorial! what is the best way to get the tape off without smearing the epoxy?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

I pull my tape off after about 30 minutes. I stop my turner, and pull slowly.

[@crazyheifer3347]

Love the tutorial! And what are you using to turn the cup while you work with the glitter?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

April Coker it is a turner my husband built me. I have since upgraded my rotisserie to a Kraken Mini which you can fin on Etsy.

[@rebeccatatum4574]

Beautiful colors.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Thanks so much!

[@erintryon9418]

How much total epoxy do u think u used

[@fredericaweaver5558]

do you have to do another layer of epoxy to seal the glitter? Thank You!

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Foley Boys yes I would definitely recommend that.

[@creationsbychristieb]

Where do you purchase your supplies from..like the tumblers and epoxy?

[@msdollb]

What an awesome tutorial! I love how this one turned out. Let me ask you, if I do one coat like you did and I want more of the "flow" look can i just add another thick coat of epoxy on top of it and do it again? Of course after the 1st layer is completely dry. Thank you.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

you could do it again over the top. :)

[@thurley8790]

Where can I get the turn thingy? And how is put together?

[@jamietippetts2899]

do you put a clear coat of epoxy over the top of it?

[@sherriwilkins7118]

Where do you purchase your epoxy and what size do they come in?

[@niddybear]

If you don't add a decal, would you need to add another coat of epoxy? Is is this one coat sufficient?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Nissa, I would add more thin coat over this as the glitter is still kind of on top of the epoxy, so you wouldn't have a smooth surface.

[@starrspoter]

cant u take it of to put the glittrr?nd how long to dry in between?

[@lirvicrojas8041]

gracias por compartir excelente video me encanto

[@haleyadams7753]

How do you make sure the epoxy doesn't leave a big bump at the bottom. I keep getting the same issue. I am a beginner .

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

That is due to your cup not turning level.

[@katherineberkley9723]

Thanks for the video!! Very cool... what kind of tumbler did you say you were using?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

The one in this video is a 24oz HOGG tumbler from www.thestainlessdepotcompany.com

[@normitaanderson68]

Love the cup. My question is: when do you remove the tape?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

I remove the tape after it spins for about 15 minutes... sometimes longer, sometimes not. I pull my tape really early compared to most, though.

[@sarahhessler610]

after it spins for 8-10 hours it's done?

[@kimberlyweeks7093]

Thank you, this is awesome! What white is that, it’s so multicolored! I love it! Looks recollections? Is is called ‘white’? Thanks!

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

The white is from Feather Bear Bling I believe that one is Magnolia.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Or it might be Pandora

[@starrspoter]

if u drink out of that what happens to the stuff going in the drink bit

[@Punk_in_pink]

vicki jen what

[@julie6723]

Beautiful!

[@lindymarie3804]

Awesome! What is the rotating arm made from?

[@saramcdaniel2360]

Where did you say you got the little orange scoops from that you used to sprinkle the glitter?

[@SandyK1]

Do you sell the tumblers?

[@home-cookedandhomemade6295]

do you ever use acrylic paint

[@starrspoter]

what do u paint it with tobegine with?sprey paint arcrilic paint or what?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Just white spray paint.

[@starrspoter]

if u want to add pics to it like they do the waterslide whats the best to use so the paper will stick to glitter can u use modpodge?then do u epoxy over it

[@joelle524]

Do you use normal glitter or fine glitter

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

You can use either, and even add some chunky too.

[@StephandSnow]

Won't the base paint and epoxy be bad? Because when you drink from it you're lips are touching both?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

stephanie ramos I am not sure I understand your question. The epoxy I use is FDA compliant. No paint is exposed.

[@brookeisham9734]

What is the red you're using?

[@melissalyle4815]

Could you use embossing powder?

[@shellbug3100]

Beautiful holo!!

[@vannajessie2148]

Awesomeness 💖💖💖

[@kaylatognarini9813]

How did u paint it before the glitter and where u get the silver glitter

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

kayla Tognarini I just spray paint it with my base coat color. And the silver is Bling from recollections I believe

[@jamibaumgartner3271]

i tried my first one last night.. i had a cpl bubbles come up in the epoxy... maybe i should have used more epoxy??

[@elizabethlack6166]

Jami Baumgartner heat helps to release the bubbles that come to the surface.

[@susanflowers9240]

love your tutorial, I am a newbie and want to try this can you please tell me where do you or how do you make your spinner that the tumbler twirls on . and where can i get a heat gun? never heard of them before lol thanks

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

The heat gun is an old one from when I did a lot of rubber stamping, but Hobby Lobby carries embossing heat guns, and you can use a coupon for it. I will do another quick video on how we put together the turner. It is really pretty basic. My 15 year old son built it for me with scrap 2x4 we had at home.

[@susanflowers9240]

JANA MAYS thanks for your quick reply... when will you be able to make the video for the tumbler Turner? I am so excited I found your videos... very informative.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

I can do one this morning. Just let me clean up around my turner a bit. ha!

[@susanflowers9240]

JANA MAYS oh that would be so wonderful thanks cuz I want to make one today and then I will show you lol I am so excited to make some for a family reunion here coming up within the next few weeks. And also how long does it stay on the tumbler ?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGSzlWhpq5enepo

[@jarrya.8113]

What type of epoxy do you use and where do you purchase the tumblers?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Jarry Adorno I use ProMarine epoxy. lddy.no/73h0 And I buy my tumblers from www.thestainlessdepotcompany.com

[@ChildofGod3212]

Is there any harm in the chemicals that may get inside the cup or around the brim where your mouth goes?

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Rebecca, that is the reason I tape off the top rim of my tumblers.

[@sarahlou4024]

If you use an FDA approved epoxy, once it’s totally cured, it is completely harmless!

[@miriamrivasdaffodilsoapfavors]

What do you do with the glitter and epoxy that falls on your tray?

[@sendaantigua6111]

how did you make ur tumbler spinner?

[@laurapenny1107]

Hello when you spat paint your tumbler is there a certain kind to use.

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Laura Penny I use Krylon gloss white.

[@emilyfreimuth7408]

Do you have a tutorial for the spinner? And did you let this rotate all night while it dried?

[@julieheyman8266]

There are lots of tutorials on how to build a turner out there. I always let mine spin 8-12 hours.

[@suepaul1269]

Where can i buy the motor for the tumbler turner

[@JMARIEDESIGNED]

Lowes, Home Depot or Amazon
