- Preparing your work surface is so important for longevity and durability! Watch how I prep my cups here. It's not the most glamorous part but so worth the effort!
I have dropped several of my own cups and the epoxy is still in tact. This may not always be the case but it definitely helps.

Your tutorials are great. Easy to understand, easy to Follow and a good pace. Thank You 🙏 for sharing for talent and skills 🤩
Thanks!! You're welcome.
OMG...BRILLIANT with the silver marker and lining up the lid!
I have learned a lot of lessons the hard way :)
Thank you so much for demonstrating! I've been looking for this exact thing, wondering how to tape it off and sand just the middle (because I wish to tape mine off for the exact reasons you do). Love the tips you added with the sharpie.
You're welcome!
All your videos have been so helpful! Planning on make some cups for gifts. Thank you for such a thorough explanation!
Have fun!
I've prepped my stainless tumbler--would I use the same grit sandpaper for a colored Ozark Trails tumbler? Thanks for your help!
Probably, I typically use 100-150. As long as you can get a rough surface, you should be fine.
I purchased a tumbler from you and I love it!! haven’t used a regular cup in weeks! I would have to have someone else do the washing of the tumblers though because I am the dishwasher in this house and I’m constantly doing dishes. 😂 LOL
The struggle is real! I usually end up with several at a time to wash but I can't stand drinking out of anything else anymore. I like cold drinks!
You are fantastic at explaining- How To!!!
Thank you! so glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great, informative video! Thank you so very much, as I've never painted tumblers & a friend recently gave me a large one to do (& I want to do a good job as well as right!) 💞🙏🙂
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
You bet!
GENIUS!!!
Ha, maybe not genius but definitely helpful.
Thank you so much! What awesome tips! How long do you wait before removing the electrical tape after putting on the epoxy? Do you leave a little stainless showing with the electrical tape as well? Thank you for your help!
I wait about 20 minutes usually. This video goes in to more detail. ua-cam.com/video/HDJhMsWh3zg/v-deo.html
What are your thoughts on using spray adhesive instead for mod Podge... Any advantage to one or the other? Love your videos. Thanks for teaching us!!
Eh, I hate how messy sprays are. Some people love it though. Try it out and let me know what you think.
Thank you for video! I have a question. I’m in process of completing first tumbler. I’ve painted, applied glitter & 2 coats of epoxy. I’m doing peekaboo. I have some rough spots. Can I sand before spray painting & applying 2nd glitter color?
Thx
Thank the fun of this hobby! There are no rules to how you create it! Go for it!
where can i get that tumbler with the lid that you put the arrow on the bottom to know where the front was....love that lid and shape
I try to list all of my supplies in the video description. That cup would have been from the Stainless Depot Co.
wow so happy you came back with another tutorial, do you also do the alcohol inks?
Thank you for watching! I do use inks. Is there something you'd like to see?
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique i would like to see a tutorial on it, i am a new tumbler creator in 1 week i purchased a turner, and cameo 3 still waiting for this to come in mail
Wow! Congrats! This is a fun hobby. Don't be afraid to experiment. I will try to work an ink project in soon.
I am going to try these. Did not realize I had to prep the tumblers. I purchased from Amazon a brand called Domicare Double wall stainless steel, do you think this tumbler will work, it has a white powerboat on it. Should I still sand the white part.?
I would still sand it to rough it up a bit.
What color base would you use for a hot pink/black glitter ombre?
I would either ombre the spray paint with pink and black paint or do a pink or white base.
if i painted a cup could i use dishwasher safe mod modge to seal it?
I have used it to seal glitter on a plastic cup to see how well it holds up. That cup is going strong after a few years. Epoxy will be more durable but not dishwasher safe. Try it and see.
Great tutorial, thanks! But I have a question, what can I tape the wine cups that don't have any silver border? All the cup is other color like red? And I want it black base
I would sand off the color or at least scuff it up and just do the whole thing.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique thanks so much! 😀
You're welcome!
How do you keep them turning after you apply the epoxy
Here is how I apply my epoxy.
ua-cam.com/video/HDJhMsWh3zg/v-deo.html
Can you please show how we can add Decals to the cups :)
My decals are vinyl that I cut with my Silhouette Cameo. There are lots of videos out there to help with that if you need help right away. Just be sure its over a smooth coat of epoxy.
Is it ok to just use rustoleum 2x ultra flat white primer as my base color? I couldn’t find rustoleums 2x paint +primer in white. I will be adding glitter over it.
for sure!
Are there any problems using things like spray paint with containers used for drinking? Like toxicity issues?
Everything is sealed under FDA compliant epoxy. But I also tape off my rims as well to keep a lip rim.
Do I need to do any other step if I want to add the temporary tattoos?
This is the prep for any decorative process. You will want to seal your work with epoxy after.
What other paint can I use instead of spray paint because where I live, in the winter, it’s to cold to spray paint
You can use acrylic paint or air brush. If you use an opaque glitter, you can skip that step.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm new tumbler making and want to practice with some I already own. Do you paint All your stainless steel tumblers/bottles White - regardless of the glitter color you use? I mean, for example, use white base even for darker shades of glitter? Or only iridescent ones? I have some personal tumblers that already have colors on them so I was planning to keep the original paint on them. What do you recommend? Thank you.
I always base coat white, iridescent colors, lighter colors, etc. with white paint or a matching paint color. I always base coat black with black paint. You can even switch your base coats around to get different effects. I have a pretty pink that turns to a gorgeous blue/purple when i base coat black.
There are times I don't base coat. If I am using an opaque glitter or silver, I can skip the painting step.
Base coats help the glitter color stay true to the color it is meant to be or to change it on purpose.
As far as the cups that are already coated with something from the factory, I would sand them a little to rough up the surface.
Just found you on here ~ great tutorial!! Question ~ don't you have to let the spray paint gas off for 48 hours? I'm new to this tumbler world and have seen that everywhere. I am anxious to start but hate waiting! 😅 #impatient
I wait until it's dry. That's it.
As long as the vinyl isn't on the outside layer are these dishwasher safe?
The vinyl isn't the problem. Most stainless tumblers are not dishwasher safe bare. The epoxy is not dishwasher safe either. These are handwash only. Similar to a hand sewn garmet; you would want to take extra care because of the amount of work put in.
Can I just let the spray paint dry for like 30min before applying the mod podge? Thank you!
If the conditions are right, you can. I wait just long enough for it to be dry but I am usually working in stages and it ends up being over night.
Do you have an intro video on how to actually add glitter to a cup after it's prepped?
Sure! ua-cam.com/video/ybKL1LwCLgM/v-deo.html
I'm struggling with the bit of epoxy that covers the edges and onto the bare steel pulling away. I see you don't prep that part at all! Maybe I've left too much space between the design and where I tape off? Every time I add another layer of epoxy, I leave another tiny gab, but then it does end up being like a bit wider. I hope you can help! It's so tough to find information on this.
It will move a bit after you pull the tape. If you want a thinner line, you can try waiting a bit longer until you take the tape off.
Do I have to go through all the sanding process even if my tumbler is black already?
I would. That super slick coating will not hold up well.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique thank you
Thank you for the video!
FYI- Rather than using the Rustoleum flat-buy the primer. It has better adhesion.
I have used that. It just seems to take longer to dry.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique Wow,thank you for responding! Dry time is the same,and the finished product will "look" the same-but the primer will have better adhesion. "Paint and primer in one" is a good marketing trick for home owners,lol.Take a peek at the instructions on the cans.
Subscribed and liked-Thank you
It's snowing where I live. Is there a paint that can be used instead of spray paint? I have acrylic paint?
Acrylic and chalk paint work, as well as air brushing. The only problem with acrylic is to get a full coverage, you will need to do several coats, letting it dry between. If you use an opaque color of glitter you can skip the painting step.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique thank you!
You're welcome.
Great tips! What tumbler brands are those?
Hogg- link in description
Thanks for this video but I had a difficult time hearing the instructions I dont want to be annoying...also can you tell me what brand of glitter do you use plus the difference between regular glitter .keep up the videos ❤❤❤
I use too many brands of glitter to list. I try to list all of my supplies in the description of each video. Nicer quality polyester glitter is easier to work with and has an amazing sparkle. try a few brands and see which you like. Sorry the sound bothered you.
Before your hubby made your Turner, what turner did you use or shall I ask, what turner did you start with?
I started with the one he made me. I did research on this hobby for a year before I was sure I wanted to get into it. So he made it for me a few year ago for a gift. He recently made me a few more so I could keep up. When he made mine, there were some available to order but most people were making their own. There are lots of premade ones available now to purchase. If you aren't sure, you can hand turn. Minderella has a video on how to do that.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique thank you so much!
You're welcome!
How would you prep a steel tumbler that already has color on it?
I would still sand it to rough it up a bit and take the gloss off.
Violet Doodles Boutique thank you🙂
you're welcome
You say in the video that you use the 100 grit sand paper, but the video shows a 120 grit sand paper? Is this just an oops or do you ever use the 120 grit on the tumblers?
Not an oops. On the cup, I did use 100 but the caption in the video suggested 100-120. When I was taking the photographs, the 120 was the only one I still had the packaging for. Thanks for watching. I hope I cleared that up for you.
@@VioletDoodlesBoutique you did, thank you!
Great, thanks.
Would the next step once u done is to put epoxy and let it dry then put glitter or put the gliter in the epoxy and put it on the tumbler
prep, decorate, then epoxy, vinyl, epoxy again.
watch this one next: ua-cam.com/video/ybKL1LwCLgM/v-deo.html
and then epoxy: ua-cam.com/video/HDJhMsWh3zg/v-deo.html
hi, not a criticism but a sweet request. I am hard of hearing to the point I even wear hearing aids. I have a hard time hearing you. can you speak up or wear a mic. I am not meaning this rudely. I want to learn from you but can't hear you well.
Not rude at all! I have considered having a mic. I will look father into this. Would CC help?
Also, please let me know if I can clarify anything you may have missed.
Violet Doodles Boutique do you have to sand it just doing the cups in mod podge method any one please reply
Sanding helps give your materials something to grab onto. I always sand and typically use Mod Podge as well.
Violet Doodles Boutique so I can sand the glitter after for the decals it won’t hurt it ?
