I'm new to your videos and I have to say, your work is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your talent. You've got me motivated to continue with my business...thank you ...
I feel like she's inspired and raised a whole generation of tumbler makers 😍
Great Vid. my account autoplayed your epoxy application video and when I came in from workin' outside your vid was at the part where you were describing air bubbles and or the prevention of getting them in your piece of art. Helpful tip, have a small hand torch close by and once complete with your application of the liquid ep. graze/paint the torch flame over anywhere the liquid was applied and the flame will draw up/out any air bubbles. Be well and keep crafting in a positive light.
Thanks! I have actually purchased a propane torch and have been using that now...it did help a lot! Appreciate the feedback!
I was so mad I couldn't do epoxy on glass but now I'm so happy 😁
Oh good!! Hope it turns out amazing!
Your such a great teacher, thank you!!!
Omg you are so amazing!! I was in a trance watching you and listening to your music. I wasn't looking for another craft to do, But I really want to try this. Thank you

Love your videos!!!!
Beautiful!!
Great video - thank you. Do you wear a mask when applying the epoxy?
really nice.
Beautiful :)
Great video! Thinking about doing this as keepsakes for my sisters wedding. How many glasses do you usually get per container of glitter. You are so right that the polyester glitter looks best but with the price I want to make sure its worth it.
Allison Lamb It depends on the size. It doesn’t take a ton of glitter, even less of you base coat.
What tape do you recommend for your wine glasses? THANK YOU!
Electrical tape from Amazon!
Do you have any tips for using resin to seal the bottom side of a glass plate? Our kids are doing an art project where they are adding pastels and paper decoupage to the bottom of a glass plate. I wanted to add a layer of resin to make sure it is safe to hand wash.
You could use a quick setting one and use thin coats. I would probably leave a little space around the edges to make sure the epoxy can go around it to seal it. That sounds like fun! You would probably tape it off so when they’re decorating it there’s an edge.
Looks nice how much do you sell those for please tell me
As always, beautiful glass! How soon after applying the epoxy do you remove the tape? Also, you mentioned you didn't use mod podge to add the glitter but you used epoxy instead, do you just add the glitter to the epoxy after it's mixed or while mixing it?
I remove tape after about 30-45 minutes but it depends on your epoxy. I use a very thin layer of epoxy and apply like I would with mod podge. 😊
Hey, thanks for the video! What is the reason for the acetone after removing the tape?
I use it to clean up the edges. Sometimes the epoxy is a little over the line. Helps clean it up and make sure there is a clean line.
I just found your channel and love it! Quick question: why don’t you mix the epoxy in one cup? Since you measure 15mml, why not add the 2nd mixture to the first cup (to the 30mml line)? Just curious if there was some reason why that I missed in a video I haven’t watched yet. Thanks!!
I do it to make sure I get exact measurements. If I were to add the other on top of the other one there is a slight chance that the first amount wasn't exactly at the line or I overpoured and then it would be hard to match it exactly. So I do two separate cups so it is exact and if I overpour the first one I can add a little more to the second.
Good morning I have a question about you cup turner. How do you get it to stay secure mine does not hold my glasses level.
I use footballs on my Turner and they hold well. Be sure it’s tight.
Thank you for sharing your talent! Question How long after you remove the tape do you leave on the turner? I am doing stemless wine glasses and I did a practice one with epoxy and for some reason the epoxy setting in the middle of the glass suggestions? Thank you!
I leave mine on overnight usually. About 6-12 hours
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Quick question.....did you remove the tape while the epoxy was still wet? Based on the cleaning up you show, that appears to be the case but wanted to be sure.
Yes, I do. It should be tacky but not too tacky to where you’ll pull it up. Then clean up anything that got under the tape.
Can you show a video of you removing the tape after epoxy please? I am having a very hard time with this.
Not with a wine glass...it's a pain in the butt. I can try to record that with one of my next videos as it's not something I think about since it's a little bit after I'm done with all my other steps. :)
Hi, I’m knew to this but I’m confused what Apoxsee to use she said use mod podge and another one?
You can apply your glitter with epoxy or with mod podge. I also use epoxy to seal my glitter. Counterculturediy.Com I use the CCDIY Artist Resin.
I am completely mesmerized 😍 What kind of tape do you use? Painters tape, or electrical tape, or? How often do you open for orders? Last I looked you were not accepting orders, and I'm not sure how often to check back. Thanks
Pam Heil Electrical tape. I plan to open about once a month to 6 weeks. But the last time I opened I closed in less than 2 hours. I don’t take on many orders at a time as it’s a hobby for me.
@@MinderellaCreationswhat does this even mean. are you selling this tape every 6 weeks????
Denise Taylor I’m not sure what you mean?
@@denisetaylor8382 Pam asked what kind of tape, then she also asked how often do you open for orders? so that's where her answer come frome.
I almost always have to use 2 coats of epoxy to get a smooth finish did u only do one coat
quanisha cobb I did two as well. I only showed the first to keep the video short.
@@MinderellaCreations do you sand in between coats?
@@j-leespence7140 If needed, yes.
@Raquel M If you have any uneven areas or parts of epoxy that are sticking up you would want to sand.
How do you use appoty glitter
Nice color!! Where do I find a Wine Bottle Turner That will fit the openings of the wine bottle to epoxy as well? Ty
I haven’t turned one. I’d tape it to a turner.
So need mix both of them epoxy resin and hardener 👍
Yep! Most epoxy is part a and part b. You do equal parts and mix until clear, scraping sides. Pour into a new cup (don’t scrape sides), clean stick or get new stick and mix another couple minutes.
What do you mean with using epoxy glitter, then using mosh posh glitter?
I will either use epoxy to adhere my glitter or mod podge. Sometimes if the first layer isn’t good enough and it needs another coat of glitter I will add it with mod podge for that second coat. 😊
Great video! Could you do a video showing how you put the glitter on with the epoxy?
Deborah Dee I have done one. Check out my other videos. 👍🏻
Minderella Creations yes, I saw it after I sent this message. Thanks! Another great video.

Love what your doing, question how permanent, is this dishwasher safe? or at least very hot water, I want to use this idea but there will be very hot water around the surface, is that doable... it will not need to be food safe... its not being used as a drinking item.... just hot water...
Reebert McJunk replied to other comment. 😊
Lovely video! Question, is this epoxy material safe for dishwasher? And what tape are you using ? TIA
No dishwasher. It should be hand washed. I use electrical tape. 👍🏻😊
@@MinderellaCreations thank you for answer me 💞
Once the epoxy stops dripping and begins to harden do you have to keep letting it rotate or can u turn it upside down to finish drying?
Once it hasn’t moved in a half hour you are good to flip it once more and let it stay.

Question.. Can you put epoxy or mod podge all the way up to the rim of a wine glass and then later drink out of it..
Question 2: do you recommend always hand washing your finished glasses even if you use the dishwasher safe mod podge ??
Kristen Avila Some do that. I don’t and I provide straws with my cups to be safe. It is an inert plastic once cured and it’s fda compliant for indirect/incidental contact so it’s said to be ok.
Always handwash epoxy. Dishwasher safe is dishwasher safe after 30 days of curing.
Is it possible to paint the glass with polyurethane instead of using apoxy?
You can try that. I like the look of epoxy best, so that's what I generally use, but there are alternatives for sure.
how long do you wait for glitter and glue to dry between layers
I wait at least an hour. Or overnight.
Beautiful!!! What do you use to clean the resin off of the spots you don't want it??
You have to clean it off while it’s still wet. A sponge and 100% acetone or 90% isopropyl alcohol is what I use.
DIY: Prepping Glitter Tumbler and Removing Tape
is the heat gun neccesary? can you use a blow dryer instead?
I wouldn’t recommend a hair dryer. A heat gun, or torch are best. Hair dryer blows too much and isn’t direct heat.
So, how long do I let the first coat of glitter sit before apply the 2nd coat, then the 3rd? How long should we use the heat gun for as well? Can we use the same things : mod podge- hard coat and epoxy to do a mug as well?
If you use epoxy you’ll need to let it cure for 3-4 hours at least. I usually wait overnight. Mod podge I usually wait about an hour or 2.
Heat gun use sparingly. Just pop bubbles.
I prefer the epoxy as adhesive now after I’ve become more familiar with it.
Great job! Did you put mod podge under the glitter? Or something ELSE? Thank you!
I applied the glitter with mod podge here.
What tape do you use please I tried electrical tape and it ripped the resin off
I use electrical tape. You want to pull it off when the epoxy is still tacky before it cures. ❤️
Hey hope all is well, I just subscribed and I enjoy your videos. Quick question are you suppose to do Epoxy outside I saw a video and someone had on a gas mask and said make sure it's properly ventilated.
Hi! Proper PPE is recommended for sure. A well ventilated area and respirator are good to use. Definitely do your research. 👍🏻
How long do you have too spin the gkas so it dries even
I usually spin 6-12 hours.
Did you have the wine glass with initial and infinity symbol under it?
What type of blower is that do micheal craft store sell it
kd kd It’s a heat gun. Linked in my supplies video.
Beautiful creations! Are they hand wash only at this point? Fearful of the glitter scratching off and I have some experience with epoxy :/ Thx
Mine are hand wash only. The glitter is completely sealed but I don’t want to compromise the epoxy by putting in dishwasher
Thank you for your video. Can you use a hair dryer to get the bubbles out? Do you really need a cup Turner? Can you turn with hand as you paint and let it stand up and dry?
I do t recommend a hair dryer as it’s not enough direct heat and pushes debri around more. You can hand turn if you don’t have a rotisserie. It has to stay turning by hand until the epoxy stops moving or you’ll get bumps or drips. It’s about 2 hours hand turning.
@@MinderellaCreations Thank you so much. That's a lot of turning.

one other question...since I'm not crafty but going to give this a try....how is the Mod Podge dishwasher safe sealer? Does that work like the epoxy?
dsnymickey3 It is not equivalent to Epoxy. I would use it for mugs only. Not tumblers. I like Epoxy the best though.
Do you leave the glass on the spinner to dry? As it rotating. Or can you apply epoxy to glass then set it somewhere to dry? Trying to figure out how to let them dry without it getting in even.
I spin them. Either by hand or on a spinner. If you set it down the epoxy will run off and harden and turn into a mess.
Amazing video & work 😊 what temperature do you set your heat gun at for this project?
My heat gun only had one temp. 😊
Could you tint the Epoxy with pink alcohol ink so you can get an even coverage since it is clear?
You could try that...or use a dye/mica in your epoxy. I didn't want to lose the glitter on the inside, but alcohol ink might work. They do change colors sometimes though after curing, so you'd probably want to test it first.
I love your videos but I'm interested in making a spinner for myself or invest in one. How would i go about making one
I have a couple videos on here where I go over manual and rotisserie spinners. I have links in my supplies tutorial for ones you can purchase.
ua-cam.com/video/WksL6r6O098/v-deo.html
as far as the heat gun, i’ve already epoxied my cups, about an hour ago, i didn’t know about the heat gun part, is it too late to heat gun the cup now?
You don't have to use a heat gun or heat source...you only need to if you have an issue with bubbles. I use mine to make sure there are no bubbles.
Your videos are fab! Could I ask how do you decide how much to sell them for?
I factor in the supplies, my time, my expertise to get a price.
Ok I new to doing this and I have question. If you put vinyl on the cup why wouldn’t you pull the epoxy over it so it doesn’t peel off? Or can you do it at all? Thanks in advance!
Most cups I do put epoxy over. This design I do not.
I have small vinyl letters that ive put on a champagne glass I want to seal this is epoxy the way and will it be crystal clear?
Epoxy is what I use to seal. These with the S I did not seal.
Ok, so I finally got a turner and epoxy to make these turn out better. But, how long should I wait to take the tape off after I apply the epoxy?
It depends on your epoxy. Generally it should be removed after about 30-45 minutes. If you are using a fast set epoxy you can remove it after about 5 or 10. You want it to be tacky when you remove it so the epoxy doesn't shift much.
@@MinderellaCreations Thank you for helping me with this! You saved me once again! I really appreciate the advise.
@@amyw7731 You bet!
Thanks for the instructions, it was very helpful. However when is the right time for us to remove the tape to have absolute straight line?
Lam Emily Too soon and your epoxy will run everywhere. Too late and it’ll be too tacky and could damage your seal and glitter. Timing depends on epoxy type and how much heat you’ve applied. It’s generally around 45 minutes to an hour
Minderella Creations thank you so much 🍓 what about the glitter? I also use electrical tape, I remove the tape after 2nd or 3rd coat, however the modplogde is kinda sticky and it is harder to have perfect line like you have 😂
Lam Emily Remove Tape immediately after second mod podge/ glitter layer. If you use epoxy method to apply glitter pull tape immediately as well.
Minderella Creations I see 😂 thank you for your fast reply ☺️ truly appreciated! 🌹🌹🌹
Just a quick question, does the glass need to be prepped? Like sanded?
I scuffed it up with sandpaper a little.
How long does it take for the epoxy to dry?
Depends on the type of epoxy but standard epoxy takes 8-12 hours depending on temp. Higher temps will cure it quicker. Most need about 72 to be cured enough to ship and not get an indentation.
Hi. Love your work it's my first time what is that machine called that has the foot ball on it and goes around Turner? Can I have a link please thanks.
It’s a cup turner, rotisserie, cuptisserie. I gave links in my supplies tutorial. ua-cam.com/video/WksL6r6O098/v-deo.html
@@MinderellaCreations thank you 😄🧡🧡🧡
How do you get it so smooth?! Mine was lumpy and bumpy! I did sand it, and I may try another coat of epoxy but dang…yours looks 50 times better than mine! Of course this is the second glass/tumbler I’ve done glitter and epoxy on 🤦🏻♀️.
Did you do two layers of glitter? If it’s lumpy and bumpy it’s because your mod podge/epoxy used to apply the glitter wasn’t smooth or you didn’t dry brush off the excess after the first coat was dry before adding the second coat.
@@MinderellaCreations how would you fix it if it’s not smooth ? Would you have to sand it or remove everything and start all over
@@coco9479 You can sand it and add another layer of epoxy.
Dishwasher safe with the epoxy??what about handwashing with a sponge?? Just curious. Thank you and great video. Greetings from Aruba 😊
Hey! They are hand wash only. Dishwasher usage can break down the epoxy over time and so they should be washed by hand gently with a washcloth or non-abrasive sponge. 😊
I thought so...thank you very much !!😃
If I spray paint a Mason Jar, can I use expoxy over it to seal it and give it that clear shiny finish?
There are several options if you’re painting. I use epoxy because it covers glitter better. You can use it on mason jars as well.
Hi, I would to know the name of the turner.I'm sorry couldn't catch the name.
It’s a turner by glamour tribe customs. She’s not currently making turners though. The Boan,

Hi could you use a blowdryer if you dont own a heat gun?
A blowdryer is not ideal as it is not very hot and has a tendency to blow dust into your epoxy. You would be better off spritzing some 99% alcohol.
? How to you clean 🧼 the cup after you mix everything
They are hand wash only.
So do you recommend not using mod podge as your base for the glitter portion?
Nicole Orem when I used mod podge to apply my glitter it turned out just fine but now I have just over all been using epoxy to apply my glitter more and so going forward and especially with a wine glass it is not double walled I would recommend using the epoxy to apply my glitter rather than the mod podge and if you do use mod podge I would recommend using the dishwasher safe
When you epoxy a glass or tumbler, is it useable? Like dishwasher safe or handwash safe?
matttabi matttabi handwash only
Where do you buy all your glitter 😍
I have the places linked in my supplies videos. 😊
ua-cam.com/video/3Nw7v7GB-j8/v-deo.html
How long do you wait to remove the tape?
I wait about 30-45 minutes for regular epoxy. If it’s a faster curing epoxy then you can almost remove it as soon as it’s applied.
Can wash this after decoration. Thanks
Hand wash only. No dishwasher.
Beautiful, i glitter six glasses but i did not epoxy them, can i do it without the spinner
If you have a setup to hand turn, you sure can. :)
@@MinderellaCreations for how long and how often I have to turn?
Yesenia Obregon Check out my hand turning tutorial. I go over all the details and include the information in the description.
This is beautiful, how do you avoid fish eyes?
Be sure your cup is cleaned off of all oils and debris, I wipe with acetone and let it dry before adding epoxy. I also wear gloves when handling the cup. If your room temp is too hot it will cause the epoxy to thin and separate causing fish eyes as well.
@@MinderellaCreations Okay thank you. Will try that and let you know how it goes.
What if i dont have anything to spin my wine glass with
Brittany Berry You need to have something to turn it. Either manually or automatically because Epoxy is self leveling.
Love you videos! Just subscribed! When you say permanent vinyl, does that mean it’s dishwasher safe ?
There is permanent and there is removable. Permanent is generally dishwasher safe but not advertised as such.
Is there a such thing as using too much epoxy? I apply some to my wine glass and it's supper runny. I made sure I used equal parts a and b. Also any tips on getting it to dry quicker
You have to turn it. Epoxy is self leveling and will run off of you don’t turn it. A warmer room will speed up the curing but also make it more brittle if too hot. Don’t use direct heat to speed it up. Depending on the epoxy it takes 10-12 hours to cure hard enough to touch. 48-72 to fully cure.
How long after applying the epoxy did you pull the tape off? I know you mentioned it was a mess :) but how long do you normally wait, is it tacky or really wet?
About 45 minutes to an hour
can you use a blow dryer on low if you dnt have a heat gun
Tish2557 I don’t recommend blow dryer because it blows lint around and isn’t a concentrated heat.
When do you take the tape off
After about 30-45 minutes.
How did you put the glitter on ?
I used mod podge for this one.
If I don't have the heat gun would a blow dryer work? I've never done this before and would like to try but I don't want to spend a ton without knowing if I can do it
dsnymickey3 Blow dryer isn’t best. It can blow a lot more and also spread particles like dust into Epoxy.
It my first coat is fine, do I have to do another.
No, you don't. As long as it's smooth and all the glitter is covered and sealed. If it's not completely sealed you will have issues.
Do i have to use my finger or can i use a foam brush?
Brittany Berry you went on a comment parade! You can use whatever works for you. I prefer the gloves finger method.
