I always add my liquid first, about 1/3 of the way up, then add glitter. Finish filling with liquid and wahlah! Less bubbles ☺️ beautiful cups hate you had to pitch a couple.
I used the Elmer’s magical liquid mixed 2/1 with majority of it being distilled water. It lets the glitter stay suspended longer than 50/50 glycerin/distilled water mixture.
This is the most helpful video everyone just mentioned the glycerin heh forget that!!! The contact solution is a perfect choice!! I'd love a video where you test coloring the solution with mica powder and also adding polymer bits to it. You helped me so so much with this thank you!
I tried the Elmer’s “magical” stuff and distilled water. It did bubble badly also. It’s really thick. I let it sit and gas off overnight but the bubbles didn’t go anywhere. After watching a few more UA-cam videos that recommended spritzing the bubbles with 91% alcohol, I thought I give it a try. . It totally worked. It’s been about 2 weeks and you can shake it and the bubbles don’t come back. It is a very dense solution so it moves very slowly and the glitter stays suspended , which some people like because when you have your drink in your tumbler you can’t keep shaking it. I think there might be a correct proportion of water to glue that may make it work great. Just not sure what that is yet. Thanks for doing the video. I love these comparison videos. It give us options!
I use 2 tbls for every 1 cup of water, have never used the contact solution but I will try after watching this video, thank you for this informative video I love it.
It definitely wasn't you! Lol. Reference the glue / water, I've had a few suggestions saying to add some water before adding the glitter and that it helps. I found that I like glycerin/water and contact solution best So I probably won't be trying the glue again. Lol
Oh my goodness you never cease to amaze me!!!! I absolutely Love these Gorgeous tumbler’s! You always make everything look so easy your just so flipping talented!!! And the sticker’s for the bottom of your tumblers are Beautiful… soo classy! I always get so excited when you put up a new video, bc your Creation’s are Always Gorgeous! I hope you are doing good, and As Always Blessing’s to you my Beautiful friend!🥰💗🌸
Aww! Thank you so much! ❤️ I definitely can't take credit for the stickers on the bottom of the cups, that is all Kari with Critter Cup Customs.. she's so talented!!! Blessings as always Mimi! ❤️
Hello i wonder how it different it would be with the glue mix if you put some of the liquid in the cup before the glitter was added maybe can be your next video? 😉
If you mess the tumblers up you can shake the liquid and glitter out into the trash. Then keep rinsing until everything is gone. Then i do an alcohol rinse after dawn dish detergent
I'm so glad you found it helpful! ❤️ I did ship one glass tumbler. I made sure to put lots of padding around the glass and it shipped just fine. 😊 I would recommend making sure that it has insurance on it though because USPS can be so rough with packages.
Wow! Thank you for doing all the testing! Much appreciated. 💐❣️. P. S. Doesn’t the contact solution make the glitter settle quicker than the glycerin or baby oil? Thanks again! 🌻
The cups actually already came with holes in them. 😊 Since making this video, I've been ordering my glass globe tumblers from Stainless Steel Depot and they are great.
I have a question. My snow globes came with a sealer. I see that you used silicone did you do that for appearance purposes or is it best not use the seal that came with it.
You can use the seal that came with it. The ones I originally ordered did not come with seals, that's why I didn't use one. I have used some since making the video that came with seals and they worked perfectly.
I use the Elmer’s glue…bubbles oh yes lol I watched lots of videos and they said to degass for about 24-48 hours. I love the way it flows. Fine glitter is the devil. It clumps really bad in the glue.
Thank you! A company on Etsy called GiftmanUK created it for me but I don't think they are still selling them on there, I had it made a few years ago. There are plenty of companies on Etsy who can make awesome logos. 😊
Thank you! The Tumblers in this video came from a random company I found online but I did not care for them because they were all different sizes from each other. I ended up buying more from the stainless steel depot and I was much happier with the ones that I bought there.
I have tried the glue and distilled water mix and it was a nightmare for me as well. I ended up draining the cup and rinsing the cup with distilled water and I ended up using magic liquid and distilled water.
Thank you... I actually had Elmer's magical liquid but I only had 4 tumblers so I didn't try that one. Lol. I got my images on Etsy.. they are digital files that I sublimated on to the glass. In my previous toutorial where I sublimated the tumblers, I have the links to the Etsy listings in the description.
Good to know! We mixed the glue with distilled water which is what we thought we were supposed to do. Then we put glitter in the tumbler and the mixture into the tumbler. That obviously didn't work so I definitely appreciate the advice!
@@KristisCustomCreations Yeah, getting the glitter wet with distilled water before pouring in the glue/water mixture will keep it from sticking at the top of the glass.
Hi I like your videos but let me tell you about me My name is Sierraleona but for short it’s Sierra in the Covid I had a Stroke and I went blind in my left eye so know I want to work but I can’t right now however I started liking the Tumbler I’ve even ordered some and I tried to make one but now I like In your video I like the last one I just need to know what is it again.
Are contact solution and saline solution the same for tumblers? I have been struggling HARD getting my glitter to flow. I’ve tried probably 4 different “recipes” and ruin all 4 tumblers 😢
I don't think it would be considered the same thing. I find that using the Walmart brand of contact solution, which is pretty an inexpensive, is what I like using best. Which recipes have you tried so far?
@@KristisCustomCreations the Elmer’s magic liquid, clear glue and water, water and glycerin (once equal parts and once 1 part water to 3 parts glycerin), and mineral oil.
@@mrsravenrose2u oh okay, probably give the contact solution a try. It has been my favorite out of all of them. I think you will probably find it works a lot better than some of the other alternatives.
I have no idea why that particular one did not come with plugs but I haven't bought with that company since then. I have ordered glass globe tumblers from stainless steel Depot since making this video and they all came with plugs.
Thank you! I have been looking a long time for somebody to show me how to make the shimmery liquid process. Just got some contact solution and glitter today. Starting on some snow globes. I’ll have to show you picture when I’m done:)

This is what I tried the first time too and liked it! Gonna try contact solution next
So 2 parts distilled water 1 part magic liquid?

I just ordered the kit before I even saw your video … can’t wait to try to UV resin …. And molds … ❤
Try putting some of your liquid in before glitter. Some have said it keeps glitter from clumping at the top.
I like the eye solution! No mixing lol
I agree with the previous post "The Elmers Magic Slime" works the best for me.
Thanks! I have some, just haven't been able to make any with it yet. I'll try it next! 🥰
These are beautiful! I had struggled with filling the hole so I gave up lol. I’ll try again after I sublimate!
Thanks! I have a kit that I bought from resin rockers that I'm going to try next for plugging the hole.

Hello, can you share the best place to order the double glass libby cups?
Hello, I have recently bought some from Stainless Depot and they were great quality
For some reason I got a lot of bubbles at the top that moves depending on how my cup is sitting when I used the contact solution, any tips?
Try tilting the cup and fill in the bubbles with a syringe. You want as little air as possible in there before you seal it up. :)
Love these!! new to your channel where do you get your tumblers from?
I'm getting ready to try my first snow globe tumbler. Do you recommend fine or chunky glitter?
Wow! Thank you for doing all the testing! Much appreciated. 💐❣️. P. S. Doesn’t the contact solution make the glitter settle quicker than the glycerin or baby oil? Thanks again! 🌻
Yes, It settles and moves a lot faster with contact solution. The glycerin and baby oil is a much slower settle.
How did you get the hole at the bottom? I'm new to all of this, and my family challenges me every time.
The cups actually already came with holes in them. 😊 Since making this video, I've been ordering my glass globe tumblers from Stainless Steel Depot and they are great.

Just a thought...40% water, glitter, 40% glue, 20% alcohol. Shake!

@@moniquemoss626 you're very welcome!
Where do you get your wraps from?
add your liquid first about a half to an inch.. also i use elmers clear glue and elmers magic
Pity you had to waste the transfer as well. Best to put that on last?

Use Elmer’s magical liquid. I like all them except the glue one. Where did you get all your decals?

Are you using the baby oil only or mixing with water?
how did u get the hole in the glasss with out breaking it
The tumbler came with the hole already in it.
I was wondering if you would know or anyone if lens cleaner would work?
I used glycerine and water and it keeps clumping
can you use fine glitter in these or is better to use a chunky glitter?
Better with chunky. Fine glitter clumps.
How do we make the hole on the cup
The snow globe glass tumblers come with a hole already in the cup
No idea what you did with the glue mixture. You have to put a bit of straight distilled water in first, THEN the glitter, THEN the glue mixture.
Good to know! We mixed the glue with distilled water which is what we thought we were supposed to do. Then we put glitter in the tumbler and the mixture into the tumbler. That obviously didn't work so I definitely appreciate the advice!
@@KristisCustomCreations Yeah, getting the glitter wet with distilled water before pouring in the glue/water mixture will keep it from sticking at the top of the glass.

Add alcohol to the glue distilled water mix. Cuts bubbles - use less glitter when you start
Wow nice❤
Thank you I have been wanting to make some I now will I have everything I need would love to send you p pictures when I'm done
2 parts distilled water and half elmers glue and half veg glycerine 😊
You should add less glue. Try lower down your glue ratio and add more distilled water. Some people like slow effect.

Can anyone tell me where she got the cup from
Amazon
A funnel wasn’t an option?
a spray of Alcohol will pop the bubbles.. when using the glue method poor some of the solution in the tumbler first.
Thank you 🥰
Pour.. not poor.. LOL!! thats what happens when I don't have a light on when typing!
