I love tooled leather cups, but I have to say that white design over the silver cup was really pretty too! Also a tip on the alcohol. When you open it, don’t remove the safety seal. Just poke a hole in it. Helps a lot to avoid spills.

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Thank you !! And I’ll have to do that next time

[@kathleenroush2781]

I love that you just jump in and try things

[@Shadingoftheheart]

I took 2 empty paper towel holders and taped them together as a cup holder -- super easy and no out of pocket cost 😉 I love the tooled leather look, will be doing this soon!

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Hi, ? When using alcohol ink is space (fractions of an inch) need just below rim for Crystalac to adhere?

[@CourtneysCustoms]

Yes!😊

I go ginger, caramel, then latte. And yes I just keep layering

Make the first layer (with vinyl still on) light. Then make the second layer super dark, especially around the edges of the vinyl.

I always wanted to do one of these - but I have a hard time weeding the vinyl - don’t know what I’m doing wrong lol

[@Shadingoftheheart]

Try weeding while it's still on the mat, and only do a small section at a time. Also, having the design up on a screen for reference really helps! When you have a good chunk of vinyl up, cut it off so it isn't overwhelming. Hope that helps!

[@leannmatthews3355]

How do you seal it? Because when I let mine sit it changes the color when I go to apoxy it,,,

[@CourtneysCustoms]

I don’t seal mine before epoxy because it makes mine turn green
