Thank you sooooo much for the trick of adding the water. I was using it straight and it dried to quickly and I had to wash it off. I then remembered what you said about the water and I was so happy with the result. It was my first time trying this technique and with your help I so love how my tumbler turned out. Thank you so much :)
Excellant. Love this process. Thanks for all the links. I just completed first order to you as I ordered just one color of glitter. I hope it is the halogriphic?
Thank you for your order! Yes it is holographic that you ordered and that will work perfectly for this method. I threw in an extra bottle of glitter for you also. 😊 Mailman has already picked up your package and it is headed to you! Have a great weekend!
Welcome to the world of tumblers! Lol! Just sand the tumbler with sandpaper to rough up the service. I like to wash with dawn then wipe with acetone afterwards just to make sure there's no oil from my hands on it.
When I do the tack it method I put the glue on straight but use a wet brush. It seems to help me avoid over diluting the glue. Also try using gloves for the initial burnishing, thing switch to your bare hands. I have to agree I have yet to get the glitter to lay as well with gloves on.
Do u not seal the glitter b4 epoxy? If u use a decal, would u put it on the cup b4 epoxy or after? If u use vinyl for the decal, would the epoxy adhere well?
You can seal the glitter before epoxy but it's not required. Stealing the glitter helps keep the glitter from trying to repel the epoxy. You would want to put a code of epoxy on the tumbler before putting a decal or vinyl on it. Also, you can seal the vinyl in with epoxy after applying a vinyl decal. I hope that answers your questions!
You can spray seal if you want to but the glitter isn't going to move once on with the tack it method. Sometimes since the glitter is laying so flat from the tack it method, it can help prevent fish eyes on that first coat if you spray it first. But you don't have to spray it.. most of the time with a tack it cup, I don't spray it with clear before epoxy.
I am thinking of doing the tack it method with a white fine glitter and then put a layer of color shifting chunky glitter that I ordered over it before epoxy. Thoughts?
@@KristisCustomCreations I will def show you. I just decided to use a repositionable spray glue and put the first layer of fine white glitter on. Used the wax paper to press it down a little. I am considering spraying with a matte clear coat before putting the color shift glitter on. The color shift arrives Wednesday.
Hi , hope someone can answer a question for me. I was wondering if I could do a second layer of glitter after I burnish it off if it doesn't look right? I have some spots I'm just not happy with. I'm doing a primed tube vase. My others have turned out pretty good. thanks for any help
Holographic glitter works best with the tackett method because of the way it shines. You can use any glitter but you won't get the holographic look with a regular metallic glitter.
So I’ve just started making tumblers, just for fun bc my main creative outlet has been taken from me due to health issues, anyway I did a tack it method tumbler a couple nights ago and it took maybe an hour to get the glitter burnished/laid down, is there anyway to make that quicker/easier on the hands? Lol I just can’t spend that much physical energy getting the glitter to lay down or is this another hobby that’s not gonna work out for me bc my bod can’t handle the labor of it? I really thought this was gonna be something I could do to fill that creative void
Yes, there's quite a bit of effort that goes in to it. I've seen someone use a piece of a pool noodle instead of their hands but I've never personally tried it myself.
They're beautiful I thought the pink / magenta was red in the cover photo. You don't see ENOUGH tumblers done with RED. I'm talking about a beautiful deep red. NOT orange red. Maybe you can make one soon? Too many people tend to think red is only for Christmas or Valentine. So not true you could make a beautiful summer cup using red
@@KristisCustomCreations Me too! I don't know what it is but lately I've just really been loving it. 😆 thanks for sharing hope we get to see the finished product on both of these soon
Love your method and how you explained the reasoning behind your approach thank you it’s a big help for me
Very pretty cups 😮😊❤
@@kathy5264 thank you 🥰
Love your video! Quick, simple and easy. Your cups came out beautifully!
Thank you! ❤️

You're very welcome! I'm so glad it worked out for you!!! 🥰
Thank you for this video and you’re explanation of what you are doing and WHY!! ❤
Bee Jay's glitter is awesome! Opalina is one to try with tack it, its gorgeous!
Yes it is.... I love Bee Jay's glitter and the owners are amazing. Opalina is one of my all time favorites.
Yes they are absolutely stunning!
Thanks!!!
Beautiful cups. On the blue you could something with the sky.... stars
Thank you! 😊 Yes, that's a great idea!
Those are beautiful!
Thanks!
can you use just regular gilliter?

I’m just getting started in learning to do tumblers. Can you explain what you do when you prep a tumbler? Do you use sand paper on it?

They came out beautiful! Did you sand the tumblers before painting them?
Should we seal the glitter with a clear spray or am I good to just jump straight to the epoxy?

Thanks!
I was wanting to add a light dusting of a second color of glitter. How do I handle that or does that not work with this method?

You could probably do that! I think that would look really cool! I'd love to see it when you do!

you answered my question at the beginning of the video
Lol, awesome... Glad you got your answer 🥰
Amazon link for epoxy poxy states it is currently unavailable. Do you have another resource for it?
This is beautiful! Do you have to use holographic glitter?

Thank you! I love all your videos!!
@@blancamendoza2120 thank you so much! 🥰
Cab you use any tacky glue for this project?
There are other products out there that will work but I've never used them. If it remains tacky after it dries then in theory it should work. 😊
Kristi, how did you make your tumbler turns?
I just love these, and have never done one before... So trying to learn everything! These are beautiful!
WoW😳🤩
Thank you! 🥰
If your cup is already a color you want do you still need to spray paint before using this method.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks
If your cup is already that color, no you don't have to spray paint it. Just make sure you prep the surface first.
Thank you so much!

What about tacky glue?
I've never used tacky glue before but if it remains tacky like Tack-It does then it would probably work.
