It's Not Over Yet by for KING & COUNTRY - Навчання та стиль
First time watching your videos and I’d have to say I love watching each one. You explain everything very well. I have been wanting to make these for some time now.
love how beautiful and relaxing your voice is!! Your descriptions and the way you talk about every detail you do, is amazing.
Aww! Thank you!
Thanks! I love videos like this! Straight to the point 🙌🏽
I love the music in the background. This video really helped me thank you.
Never even thought to do it w/my finger. Before seeing this, a long time ago, I got one of the Taklon modpodge brand brushes & it works beautifully!! It's so amazing, a total game changer. But if you don't have one, this looks like an incredible way to apply it!! Thank-You my friend, for always sharing what you've learned along the way!! ♡
Thank you!!
First time here. LOVE the music! Great job!
Also seen ppl use a swim noodle from dollar store w/ PVC pip to hold the cup. Very informative and peaceful video.
M SD Yes, I myself started out using the pool noodles. I prefer the footballs now. 😊
Holy crap I learned so so much tonight watching this. Of course after I just my cup and didn't brush off extra glitter... even though I thought I should. It looks like a glitter factory explosion in my kitchen
Lol!! How funny!! The explosion not that you had to learn the hard way lol. Glad it helped you out some ❤️
Subbed when I heard my song😂🤣!!! Great video and information 😊 thanks.
you're really great at explaining things!
Thank you! 😊
Love your videos! you are very meticulous and patient
Car mella Thanks!
I have no patience.
Video is too long ✔
Watching your videos is not only informative I also find it to be very relaxing. You have a lovely speaking voice and a gracious manner that is calm and very enjoyable. During these hectic, often stressful days I welcome the respite your videos provide. Thank you for the 'escape' via your tutorials.
I do have a few quick questions. Do you find there's a big difference between regular Mod Podge and the Duracoat? Second, if you tried regular Mod Podge was it worthwhile or an obvious fail? (Somehow I have 2 gallons of regular Mod Podge. Isn't it amazing the items we find when we move?)
faye austin Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! 😊😊
I use hard coat because my very first experience making a cup, the glitter layers never seemed to get firm. It may have been process or not letting it dry ample time, but I tried the hard coat mod podge and love it.
Many people use the regular mod podge though, so it’s perfectly fine to do that. You would want to make sure you give ample dry time. 😊
Minderella1225 .... Thx for the quick and informative reply. Rather than risk a mishap I will go with your preferred choice. I will be making Christmas gifts and of course time (and expense), are considerations. (I am not doing the same as you. I ran across a box of stainless steel coffee cups, much smaller so hopefully a bit faster.) I will devise other projects for the gallons of regular Mod Podge I recently discovered. Again, I love your creations and your style tutorial.
faye austin I did a mug recently and loved the outcome! Good luck!
Email me and I can show you what it looks like! Minderella1225@gmail.com
Thanks
This is such a cute channel you are so talented and creative and a very good informer :) I love it
Thanks Jana! :)
Love it thank you darling
Love this ..... New Subbie from LONDON ENGLAND x
Heyyyy across the pond!!
Thank you
Great demonstration! How do you seal the glitter as the final step after the second coat?
Still waiting for final step 🥱
You've really become one with the mod podge.
😂😂😂
Love this. Very simple and thorough. I am going to glitter, epoxy and put vinyl on a cup. When do I apply the vinyl? After the glitter? After the first coat of epoxy? I can't find the order of things! Thanks!
Hi Elaine...I go through most of my steps in my start to finish video.
ua-cam.com/video/MElvr9sqc-E/v-deo.html
The order is Mod Podge/Glitter, Mod Podge/Glitter, Epoxy 1st coat, sand if needed, apply vinyl, epoxy 2nd coat. You may or may not need another coat of epoxy after the first or last.
first off, I LOVE your videos. You've become my "go-to" for learning. =) one question I have is, does it matter what kind of mod podge you use since it's on the bottom anyway?? I have never used mod podge before so I don't have a clue lol
Jennifer Moya Thanks!
I don’t think it matters since it’s under the epoxy. The properties of the mod podge are most important if you aren’t covering it. I use the hard coat because it dries the quickest and hardest. 😊
I have a question? How long should you wait between each layer of mud podge to do another coat of glitter
Rene Bruce I usually wait about 2 hours after to do another coat
Yep, I wait about an hour or overnight before I apply another coat.
Good evening your videos are awesome!!! What do you recommend for those without the rotisserie motor to do as far as drying the epoxy so there are no drips on it? Thank you
Adela Gutierrez Thanks! Check out my other videos. I have several on hand turners and the process for turning them on a manual turner.
Great channel and video Hey I have a question for you, I have been purchasing The Todd McFarlane figures and I have the figures on s shelf but in close proximity to each other and noticed that the colors of the figures are rubbing off of each other…. Can the modge podge spray help prevent that from happening again for future figures?
Thank you in advance
Ps great song!!!❤
Hi! Thank you! I haven’t worked with figurines but I would think that it would work to seal them. Any kind of sealer would work. A spray sealer like rustoleum 2x or polycrylic.
I found this page that goes over sealing figurines. Maybe it will help you more. 😊
creativetwilight.com/seal-painted-miniatures/
Also is the hard coat mod podge water resistant? One last question, when I use either pva glue or the mod podge dishwasher safe glue I lose all the lustre from my fine holographic silver glitter 😠 but I don't with normal chunky-ish glitter
Ladymandi69 xx I stopped sealing mine for that reason. It seemed to dull it. If you seal with Epoxy and not mod podge you don’t lose any Sparkle.
How do I go about applying epoxy to seal the cup afterwards? Do I add more tape to keep it only over the glitter or do you just epoxy the entire outside of the cup?
I go over that in this video.
ua-cam.com/video/guLOPzxSSFA/v-deo.html
You will want to tape again just outside the glitter and then epoxy. Pull your tape when it’s tacky and won’t run, but not cured yet. 30 minutes to an hour. 😊
I’m learning how to mod podge over vinyl on to a plastic Starbucks cups. I’m having trouble with the mod podge clumping between layers. I like how you applied it with your finger. It has me thinking if I do it this way would it be enough for just one layer? Should I use more like this video or wait longer than a hour?
You could definitely give it a go and see!
Do you have to sand the cup before applying the mod podge. Do I even need to sand the cup at anytime if using another method (epoxy or loctite)?
Prepping is important to make sure the adhesive adheres as good as possible. I didn’t used to but have started to now.
Great group ever for King and County makes go to driving music 🎶What type of glitter do you recommend on buying to resell? I know poly is best, but as far as metallic, holographic etc? TFS!!!
Lupe Valdez I bought a little of everything when I started. It’s total preference and everyone seems to like something different! I live the Holographic glitter though!

Could you finish with a layer of mod podge hard coat only? I'm not sure if I want to mess with epoxy...
Vanessa Saut I recommend Epoxy only. There is nothing else that is safe and will give you the same finish.
For the last coat of glitter do you seal it again with mod podge ? Or the mod podge spray ? How does the last coat stick ?
You can spray seal it or use something like CCDIY’s Quick Coat. Then epoxy. 😊
Love this!! I have a question, I’m still new to all this. What’s the difference between epoxy & modge podge hard clay & modge podge dishwasher safe ??
Mod podge and epoxy can be used as adhesive. I typically only use epoxy to clear coat my tumblers to finish them off. You can seal with mod podge but you don’t get the sparkle.
Minderella Creations okay makes sense thank you!!
Thank you for your video very helpful! I am planning to use the dishwasher safe modge podge. Do you apply a final coat of MP to the tumbler to fully seal?
I don’t. I feel it’s a bit more sparkly without that. 😊
Does the glitter fall off if you don't put the coat on the last one
Hello. How long do you let it dry before applying the 2nd coat? Thank you.
At least an hour of using hard coat mod podge.
Thanks for the info. What are you using to insert into the cup to hold it - after middle of video?
It is a foam football on a pvc pipe. 😊
It seems simple, but I have a question, can mod podge be applied to it when dry that coat to seal in the glitter?
It can be. It tends to dull it a little bit.
After you take off the tape and let the 2nd coat of glitter dry. And do you reapply the tape before epoxy coats? Or do you epoxy and use baby wipes to wipe off excess epoxy on the steel?
Samantha-Marie Bond I Retape just outside the glitter before I Epoxy.
Thank you for saying what you are using to hold your cup🙂
Sure!
Great video. Do you have to seal it at the end with something?
Yes, I deal with epoxy.
Is there another way to seal it at the end?
Do you do anything different when using the regular mod podge vs the hard coat mod podge?
No, I don't...I generally use hard coat, but I Know people that use them all. :)
Have you ever tried sealing with the dishwasher safe mod podge? I don't think I'm ready to use epoxy yet and want to try my first tumbler.
Liz Gonzalez I haven’t. I know some use it on mugs. It has to cure 28 days.
Do you apply as last coat to it to be sure it won't come off when washing
shavanity nash I do not seal with mod podge. I seal with Epoxy and hand wash only.
How do you r3move the tape afterwards my wife's having issues when peeling the tape off it pulls the layer off
It should be removed immediately after applying your last layer. Pull the tape back and kind of cut that edge line. Pull straight back, not up and all.
What else can you use if you have one good hand and one really shaky?
I have a stand that I’ve used to hold my cup and then brush the mod podge on. It works well.
Hi new to ur Chanelle I had one question did u wait for it to dry before adding second coat of modge poge and as well loved the look of the cup. Im starting and the opoxy is so expensive so I'm glad we can use something more affordable thanm you for sharing.
Yes, always let your mod podge dry completely prior to adding another coat. At least an hour...I use hard coat which dries hard so I know it will be good and hard before next coat.
@@MinderellaCreations thank you so much
Mine is clumpy and streaky.. any suggestions? Will multiple coats cover the streaky lines?
Are you dry brushing after the first coat dries? You always want to remove the excess after it dries. 😊
How long do you let the layers dry before doing the next layer of mod podge???
At least an hour. It has to be dry to the touch. With Epoxy as the adhesive I only do 1 layer and let that dry 4 hours minimum, usually overnight, before adding epoxy.
You seem so sweet you have a really sweet calm voice 💜
🥰❤️
What do use in the cup so you can spin to apply your glitter
I use a foam football on a pvc pipe.
I'm making my first cup right now, my glitter kinda clumped with the mod podge, can I sand the glitter? Or should I do a first coat of epoxy, sand, then epoxy?
If it clumps when doing the mod podge it's best to strip it and start over because there's not an easy way to hide that. Epoxy magnifies imperfections. If it's only a small area you can try to scratch off (NOT sand off) but using a knife or hobby knife just scratch off the bump and then apply a full coat of glitter. Then epoxy.
So once you are done the last layer is just glitter? No need to seal it with a mod podge layer? You make look so easy, TYFS😊❤️
For this video I was only showing how to apply the glitter with the mod podge method where I use a glove to apply it. Once it dried I applied epoxy to the glitter to seal it in completely. :)
Oh I see, thank you so much for answering my question. I appreciate it, have a blessed day. 👍🙏
Before epoxy I don’t like the ya I have my cup and I did the mod podge method as well but I never epoxy it yet and it’s still wet how do I get the glitter off do I just wash it with soap and hot water while it’s still wet
Yeah you can soak it off if you haven’t epoxied
Minderella Creations I just did that it worked perfectly thank you
Do you put anything else on the cup after you apply the last coat of glitter?
Yes, I Epoxy them. At least 2 coats. Decals on smooth epoxy and then sealed.
I'm new at this do we have to use epoxy or can we do without and use mod podge!
It looks best with epoxy.
What kind of tape is that? Because I’ve tried this method with painters tape and my lines still aren’t nice and crisp
Kandra’s DIY KREATIONS electrical tape
With mixing the mod pogde with water I found it dulls to the glitter...and loses some of the sparkle effect....do you agree?
I don't mix my mod podge. I apply my mod and then apply glitter over it. I keep applying it until there is no mod podge showing and the glitter isn't laying completely flat against it. I let it dry and then dry brush excess off. I don't apply mod podge on top of my glitter.
Wondering if you still epoxy at the end ?
Samantha Mason I Epoxy all my cups. I tape just outside my glitter line.
What kind of tape do you use to maintain your lines?
Electrical tape is my favorite tape to use for taping off my cups. I've also used the hockey tape. It's a little stiffer but has the same give.
Do you have a video on how to seal the glitter? Do you used epoxy to seal it or still the mod podge
This video goes over epoxy. 😊 ua-cam.com/video/BABlcevyNT8/v-deo.html
Do i have to use hard coat mod podge or can i use regular mod podge?
Andrea Pitre I think I replied to a comment on another video. Type doesn’t matter
Do you feel this mod podge or the epoxy works better on the glass projects? Does epoxy leave a shinier coat?
Kathy Hosking I’ve been using Epoxy as my adhesive more lately. It’s a stronger adhesive.
@@MinderellaCreations thank you Mindy!
If i only use mod podge in a mug cup is it safe to put it in the oven to seal it?
Thank you for this video it was extremely helpful! I do have a question what do you suggest to do if when you pull off the tape your line is a little uneven? Is there a way to fix that? TIA!
It depends...if it's sticking above the tape line you can use an exacto and cut any excess off. If it pulls off glitter and there is now a spot missing glitter, it's a bit more difficult. When that happened to me once I just used an exacto and trimmed the entire line down a hair so it would match.
You have to do it before the mod podge/epoxy sets up though. You won't be able to do it after the fact.
Thank you so much that makes perfect since and thank you for responding! Good to know I was intimidated by doing this but your video has inspired and helped me so much!
Is it hard to reapply the tape to the top and bottom before you epoxy?
Erica King Nope! You just follow your line, leaving a little space between.
So you don't add anything like epoxy to make it smooth to the touch?
I do! I was just showing another option on how to apply the glitter. After this step I did still add the epoxy on top. 😊
Does anyone know from the uk where to buy at reasonable price to buy more than 1 similar tumblers like minderellas. TIA
Ladymandi69 xx I know some will ship to UK but it’s expensive. The stainless depot is where I get my cups.
How do you seal your tumblers after using the mod Podgorica?
Epoxy is what I use as the clear coat.
How long do you let the last coat dry before applying epoxy?
I do 24 hours to make sure it’s dry. 👍🏻
How can I correct my glitter when it gets clumpy?
Is your mod podge too think causing it to clump? You should always dry brush once it’s dry to remove the excess glitter before applying your next coat.
Hi! I would really like to do this with a pair of Crocs. What kind of Mod Podge would you recommend, or should I use something altogether different? I don't want the glitter to crack when I walk. Also, can I ask where you get your glitter? It's gorgeous!
Since crocs are plastic / silicone type, you may want to find an adhesive that is good for that. I think the crystal ninja has some for rhinestone application that may work. Check out my UA-cam channel for the supplies video where I have all my favorite glitter sellers linked.
@@MinderellaCreations Awesome, thank you!
Is Hard Coat mod podge dishwasher safe??? Will it hold with a decal on it and paint instead of glitter?
Only dishwasher safe mod podge is dishwasher safe. Hard coat isn’t something you’d want to use to seal with.
Do you apply epoxy after you’re done with your last coat of glitter?
Kandra’s DIY KREATIONS Yes. I generally let it dry overnight and then apply epoxy.
Minderella1225 ok thank you :)
Can you seal glitter with mod Podge before Epoxy?
@@danam.6883 thats what i do she is using the wrong mod podge she needs the orange glue mod podge the one she has in purple is one for sealing and very similar to epoxy but it takes more than one coat on top of glitter
You know you can also I made some vases you could also spray hairspray on them too instead of The mod podge my granddaughter I told her to what she did I made the base with white paint and you mix it with baking soda and it makes it look like it's Rocky and then spray it with the hairspray
What do you do after that? Do you use epoxy or more mod podge
I use epoxy to seal, then add decal and use epoxy again to seal.
Does your Mod Podge ever dry before you finish spreading it. What do you do if it does?
You have to move quick with mod podge. It’s better to apply too much and wipe off excess than not have enough and have areas dry.
How long did you wait between coats?
Wait until the first is completely dry to the touch. 1-2 hours. I typically wait overnight.
Can you use mod podge gloss as well?
Any mod podge should work fine.
Do you let the first coat dry b4 applying the 2nd?
Daphnee Merius Yes, I let the first coat dry about a half hour before adding the second.
Do you have to do 2 coats of glitter?
You don't have to, but since I don't base coat any of mine except white or light glitters, I generally do two coats to ensure the stainless steel isn't showing through.
What can you do if you get glitter inside the cup
Ariana Salinas wash it out. 😊
Can you wash these cups after it's dried?
It will need to be covered in epoxy and then they are hand wash only
have you tried this on plastic double wall tumblers? what brand tape are you using?
cutflower I have done a blender bottle, but not a double walled plastic one. It’s electrical tape off Amazon.
Minderella1225 oh I as wondering if it would work on plastic. Thanks
Is there any way to smooth the mod Podgorica after it dries?
Not after it dries. If I’ve had imperfections I will take a knife and scrape off the uneven part (not completely, just scratch it until it’s even). Then I add a new mod podge and glitter layer.
No idea how mod podge became mod Podgorica! Haha!
Now once you done your 2 coats of glitter, is this where you add a vinyls then seal it off?
You need to epoxy it first and then add the decal. Your decal is added to a smooth epoxy surface.
@@MinderellaCreations Makes sense. Thank you! 😊
Do you let it dry & apply epoxy?
Yes. I let it dry for about 24 hours before epoxy.
How do you seal the glitter? Will it wash off with just the mod podge?
cleobella13 I seal with Epoxy.
Minderella1225 ok thanks
Wonderful video. thank you. Can you show us what your pipe and football look like? Thanks!
Jodi Davis shoot me an email and I’ll send you a pic! Minderella1225@gmail.com
Minderella1225 thank you.
Is the glitter foggy once it dries ?
Nope! Your mod podge is under it not on top of it so the glitter is as it is when applied. You seal in epoxy once it’s completely dry so it’s clear as glass when done.
I have a question? I want to glitter a shirt does it matter what mod podge I use.
Use glitter heat transfer vinyl (htv). I have never used loose glitter on a tshirt so I don’t think that would work but have no idea.
Kawon Arnold You could probably use a fabric adhesive with loose glitter. I’ve seen that done on shoes but I’m not sure of a mod podge that would work unless dishwasher safe or if they have a fabric one.
Ok thanks I was looking at UA-cam videos I was going to do it by hand
Can you use this glitter on glass?
Ivana McCrary Yep. I have a tutorial for that.
I apply the second coat of mod podge n glitter n I still have missing spots of glitter what do u recommend to cover those empty spots
You really shouldn't be having missing spots on a second coat. If you are, your mod podge is likely drying too fast on the first and second coat. You could try to do a third coat, but I think only once during the time I used mod podge did I need to do a 3rd coat. Also base painting your tumbler will help cover the stainless to allow for a better coverage.
Thnxs
Will the glitters come off when you wash it.
After the glitter is the epoxy sealing. Once the glitter is sealed and the cup completed the glitter does not come off when hand washed.
What was your drying time inbetween
A locticians Canvas 30 minutes to an hour.
yes you have a nice voice and music gish i wish i sounded like you . what are these for i mean you dont drink out of them right? cannot wash this . what do you do with them
This is only one step. I coat them in epoxy and the glitter is completely sealed and is hand washable.
Awesome video! Love the outcome🖤😊
I’m doing centerpieces for my baby shower using corona beer bottles. I’m wanting to do glitter, but don’t want a lot of fall out. Can I use the hard coat mod podge to apply the glitter and then later seal it with the glossy mod podge? I’ve never used expoxy so I don’t want to use it and risk messing up when my shower is only a month away.
debbiesnaxz I think that would be fine. You could test it on something else to be sure.
Did you seal this with mod podge or epoxy ?
After I did the last coat I let it dry completely and then sealed in epoxy.
@@MinderellaCreations thank you. It’s very pretty.
Is epoxy necessary??? Is just mod podge and sealant okay??
Mod podge doesn’t give you the shine and sparkle and I’m not 100% positive it’s FDA compliant.
Do you have to seal this ?
I only deal if I have intricate designs or chunky glitter.
What’s the difference between epoxy and resin?
Most use the term interchangeably. Epoxy art and resin art. Here’s an in general description of difference, but I use them when discussing interchangeably. epoxycountertopdiy.com/epoxy-vs-resin-the-difference-explained/
After you seal is water safe? I am making a tumbler for a friend who loves coffee but I want her to be able to wash the tumbler without ruining it
Darlene Johnson Yes, once sealed with epoxy they are hand wash only.
@@MinderellaCreations thank you...can you di this same process with a glass plate
Darlene Johnson You can. You can’t eat off of it though. You could do on bottom of plate.
Minderella1225 What do you do if the epoxy is tacky feeling?
randylovessandy If it hasn’t been 24 hours, give it 24 hours. If it has it generally means the epoxy wasn’t mixed well enough or long enough or the temperature affected it or there was moisture in it. If you’ve waited long enough and it’s not curing, add another coat with the appropriate mixing and temp.
Thank you very much! I'm doing my first one and I have never worked with epoxy before!
So you mix take paint white paint put it in a bowl mix it with some baking soda till it's like spaghetti I mean like a pancake batter put it all over let it dry that's right with hairspray
What kind of mod podge is that
It'sDriaWorld I use hard coat mod podge.
