Hello!! I am new to making decorative cups and tumblers and I absolutely love your video's, they are so helpful to me. I have sort of a dumb question, I see that a lot of people use epoxy to seal the glitter and decals in the cups but I have also see people use triple thick glaze. My question is have you used the triple thick glaze on your tumblers? If so how did you like the results? If you have not used it why not and would you recommend only using the epoxy? I don't have a cup turner and I am just trying to find a way to seal in my designs so they can be washed. Thanks in advance.
First of all I love your video's and I am excited to try to make something like this for my wife. I notice you mentioned that you are switching from ozarka to Hogg. I noticed that Hogg brand had the name on the bottom that sticks out. How do you get around that with the glitter does it make it uneven?
Do you print your own decals? If so, can you share with me what paper, printer, programs ect. I am wanting to start putting decals on tumblers and am unsure how to begin
I'm having problems with my vinyl lifting while cups are on the turner for the epoxy. Do you happen to know why this might be happening? Or what I can do to prevent it?
You most likely didn't press it down enough so it's not adhering very well and the epoxy is working itself under the vinyl. I would advise spending more time pressing it down, the entire thing. I like to run over my transfer tape with my scraper to make sure it is pressed down. Another option would be to let it "cure" to the cup for 24 hours and then try.
I’m a newbie to this... I bought some do the holographic vinyl to use on a tumbler. I’m not putting glitter on it before (i might try that on my next project!) However, I keep seeing something about permanent vinyl. Do you feel like this vinyl holds up good on a tumbler? Thanks in advance!!
Yes, you will need to epoxy until smooth and then add the decal. The decal won't stick directly to the glitter and if you add it before your epoxy is smooth you will be able to see all the bumps behind it from the glitter.
I'm just wondering and maybe you've said it and I can't seem to find it but... if you tape the cups prior to epoxy... how long should you wait to take the tape off? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much!! I watched them all, and I guess I missed that.. much appreciated (I am watching your videos as we speak... looking for that part 😄)
Ok so I’m new to this let’s see if I got it lol so first step, mod podge then glitter, then more mod podge and more glitter, then let it dry then apply 1 coat of epoxy? Then sand if needed put decal, one more coat of epoxy and let it dry and done??? Hope to get some answers I’m really confused lol I saw someone sprayed the cup with some type of spray glue after adding more glitter, is that needed?
Monse Cruz There are really so many ways to do it. You’ll want to try the different methods and find what works for you. I use either mod podge or epoxy as my adhesive and then do generally do 2-3 coats of epoxy. 👍🏻
Minderella Creations thank you one more question, I saw some use polycrylic instead of mod podge, is that good too or is the mod podge better in your opinion?
I've been trying to add a decal that goes all the way around my tumbler but no matter what i do it seems to bunch up somewhere along the way. the cup is not straight up and down, it is wider at the top and smaller at the bottom. (20 0z) any suggestions???
I need to bother you once more! I have someone making my decals. I'm doing a few cups that will have color on them of course. I have the design I want, but should I go with just black outline and no color in the decal itself? Cup colors ombre black/yellow, red/green, green solid, dark red/black and blue/orange.
Gina Clark decals are 100% preference. 95% of the time my customers choose. If I choose I do a coordinating color. I’ve done an offset of a different color if it blended too much with cup.
I know this is an older video so hopefully you see this. I made my first come ever and will be keeping that one. It turned out pretty good for my first, but until I get something to turn it with, I’m waiting, lol. I am heading out soon for sandpaper as asitone! About decals....at this time I can’t buy a machine or anything to create mine, maybe later. Are there decals I can get in the store or online pre made that are okay to use? Thanks and love your video’s!
You can order it online from Amazon or purchase from Michael's stores. It's the Cricut Holographic and it's linked in the video description. Thank you!
Awesome thanks for replying to me so quickly!:) I see they have different ones.! Could I get your input as to which one is the best? Or are they similar to the first one?
That's the worst when it happens. It's best to try and push it down with a silicone brush until the epoxy thickens up to where it stays under. If the epoxy is already cured, you'll need to sand it off down to the decal and reapply it and reepoxy.
I am just thinking about getting started doing this, looks like fun. What are the basics that I need in regards to the decal part of it? I wish I could find a starter checklist or something.
Julia Aguillon-Garcia It depends on what you’re wanting to do really. To do just the decal it’s probably a good idea to get a starter bundle that includes the machine. Like this one on Amazon... Silhouette Pink CAMEO 3 Creative Bundle with Bluetooth, 12 Oracal, 651 Sheets and 12 Siser Easyweed Heat Transfer Sheets www.amazon.com/dp/B075C7QB6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8DTUAbBK9FGSK
thanks i was considering a bundle..i just dont want to spend more than i really need to begin playing around in case i find its to hard or whatever. thanks for the reply back.
So these are completely done and ready to go then? In some other comments you said you put epoxy over the decals as well as over the glitter. But in the video you don't say anything about that & you make it sound as if all you need to do is stick the vinyl on and your done. I'm confused.
sms725841 This video is specifically to show the decals being placed on the tumbler. I did not cover other steps as I cover the entire process in other videos. I do seal my decals with another coat of epoxy, however it’s not required if you don’t want to and you’re using a permanent vinyl.
If you can feel pokes and bumps that won’t be covered by the final coat of epoxy. Depends on glitter too because if it’s metallic you probably want to add another coat of epoxy before sanding. I use 400 grit wet/dry and sand under running water.
What kind of epoxy is used? Will I be able to apply words if I used mod podge instead of epoxy? I’ve been searching and can not find any epoxy anywhere PLEASE HELP thanks
getyoliferight I always use Epoxy. It’s the only thing that’ll give you a glass like appearance. For a mug or something you could use dishwasher safe mod podge, but it has a 28 day cure before you can put it in the dishwasher and it doesn’t shine your glitter like Epoxy.
1 is old and I don't think you can purchase except from someone else. The 2 and 3 are detailed pretty well here: joyslife.com/new-silhouette-cameo-3-compared-silhouette-cameo-2/
Wow I am impressed by the way you made that tumbler look so beautiful. Tutorials like yours inspired me to try crafting /vlogging. I hope I will be successful like you someday...new fan here 😁
NEWBIE here: ok, i'm still confused. AFTER u put on decal, dont u reapply more epoxy or sealant so it will not peel after washing? thank u so much, debbie
What kind of epoxy do you use? I had to strip my cup so many times. I keep getting little bumps in my cups, so i sand it down. I need to know how do you get it so clear like that. I use the epoxy kit from Hobby Lobby. P. S. I Like your videos please keep up the good work.
Minderella1225 thank you for replying I seen in another comment someone asked what machine did you use. The machine makes the decals just ask we see in the video? I also seen the variety of vinyls. The creation options are vast! Question can you put these vinyls on metal like a pen? And one more question... Lol Can use adjust the size of the decal?
Tiffany Goodhue If I can I wait until the next day to give it time to cure a bit. But as long as you press it on REALLY well you can apply immediately. If it’s not pressed everywhere enough, you can have a decal lift under your epoxy.
KarinaReyes_Parada Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them! My sanding one has the information linked in the details. 😊 ua-cam.com/video/2MfAbNhkhyk/v-deo.html
Sarah Carichner It’s a lot of startup to get a lot of supplies. You can start small with a few colors, small stash of epoxy and cups and be fine and work up to whatever level you want.
Those turned out beautiful! I'm a newbie at this so excuse any dumb questions or comments...LOL. So you just sand around the vinyl and epoxy one more time...yes?
AggieMom2 Maupin Yes, that’s exactly what I did. Where I placed the vinyl was super smooth, but there were a couple spots that needed a little sanding. I just sanded those spots and wiped with acetone, making sure I didn’t hit the vinyl with the sandpaper or acetone. I could have done the sanding prior so I didn’t have to be careful too, but I wanted to get them on. 😊
Minderella, I've noticed in some of your comments that you mention "sealing". When exactly do you seal your tumblers and what do you use? And is it bad if you don't seal? Thanks and sorry for all the questions!
I have not sealed one of mine yet. But, if I do another checkered I will. Sealing is done with a clear coat, people use different ones. I use the Rustolem Clear to seal when I have sealed my waterslide decals and it worked great. I would probably use that to seal the glitter. Sealing is done so that your glitter doesn't shift when you apply epoxy. The checkered cup I picked out shifted glitter for 45 minutes lol
Jessica Moreno The vinyl shows bumps very well and sticking it directly onto the glitter it would be very rough looking. It also wouldn’t adhere very well and could pop up out of your epoxy.
Hi there! You can visit my facebook page and group and follow me there. I work from a waitlist and it's currently closed. :) I plan to open it up here in a couple months for additional waitlist orders. facebook.com/MinderellaCreations
Love the night sky tumbler! 💙
Thank you!!

I don't have a cup turner and I am just trying to find a way to seal in my designs so they can be washed. Thanks in advance.
So I only sand after the first epoxy if needed? I can put my vinyl on even if it's not sanded? Also how long do you turn your tumbler for?
First of all I love your video's and I am excited to try to make something like this for my wife. I notice you mentioned that you are switching from ozarka to Hogg. I noticed that Hogg brand had the name on the bottom that sticks out. How do you get around that with the glitter does it make it uneven?
Nathan Godinez Ozark sticks out. I buy blank hoggs and they are only branded on the underneath of the bottom of the cup. Smooth sides. 👍🏻
Is there a reason why you don’t bring the glitter all the way up to the top of the cup? Thanks in advance 😊
I don’t prefer to do it that way but I do full coverage if requested. I also provide straws.
Do you print your own decals? If so, can you share with me what paper, printer, programs ect. I am wanting to start putting decals on tumblers and am unsure how to begin
I use a vinyl cutter, silhouette cameo, to make the decals.
How do you make a decal? I’m sorry I’m new at this. This looks like so much fun to do.
I go over it in this video.
ua-cam.com/video/wE3xA6WYcOc/v-deo.html
I'm having problems with my vinyl lifting while cups are on the turner for the epoxy. Do you happen to know why this might be happening? Or what I can do to prevent it?

is it okay to use a removable printable vinyl, print, then cut, then put it on the glitter tumbler, then epoxy and seal over it?
Yes. It doesn’t matter what you use if you’re dealing it in epoxy.
I’m a newbie to this... I bought some do the holographic vinyl to use on a tumbler. I’m not putting glitter on it before (i might try that on my next project!) However, I keep seeing something about permanent vinyl. Do you feel like this vinyl holds up good on a tumbler? Thanks in advance!!
kelsocheer If it’s the cricut vinyl you’d have to test it. It’s not a permanent vinyl so not made to withstand a longer period of time like permanent.
Minderella Creations okay! Thank you for replying so quickly!
About to make my first cup. After you apply the decals, how many applications of epoxy do you apply?
I typically only need 1 coat of epoxy after decal...but sometimes it will take 2 coats.
I added the glitter over the epoxy, do I have to add another coat of epoxy before the decal or just after?
Yes, you will need to epoxy until smooth and then add the decal. The decal won't stick directly to the glitter and if you add it before your epoxy is smooth you will be able to see all the bumps behind it from the glitter.
I know you mentioned in the comments you used Carrolinas Font. Do you know what would be similar in the cricut design website?
Fonts are independent of the cutting machine. You can purchase any font and install it into your computer and then use it with your cutting system. 😊
what transfer tape do you use? I have trouble getting the holographic materials to stick to the transfer tape
Craftin' Chaos I use transfer rite medium tack
I'm just wondering and maybe you've said it and I can't seem to find it but... if you tape the cups prior to epoxy... how long should you wait to take the tape off? Thanks so much!
Kelly Johnson I explain it in my hand turning video. I wait about an hour to 1 1/2 hours.
Thank you so much!! I watched them all, and I guess I missed that.. much appreciated (I am watching your videos as we speak... looking for that part 😄)

Minderella Creations oh, thank you for answering I love your videos And your patience ♥️
Monse Cruz I use epoxy most of the time now for applying glitter. I haven’t tried polycrylic.
This question may have been asked, but would you mind sharing the font style you used for the "Christina" decal? Thanks!
It’s the Carrolinas font 😊
ok so its ok to do a first coat of epoxy over my loose glitter, then sand to get a fully smooth surface THEN apply a final epoxy gloss coat?
Mercedes Smith Yes!
Love the holographic vinyl 😍😍
i am obsessed with that"christina"
vinyl
Julia Aguillon-Garcia Cricut Holographic vinyl
How do you get the decals? Do you have something to print them yourself?
I cut them out of vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo.
@@MinderellaCreations what is that? Do you have a video on how to do it?
@@E.I.C.C_Onwer I go over it in this one.
ua-cam.com/video/wE3xA6WYcOc/v-deo.html
@@MinderellaCreations thank you
I've been trying to add a decal that goes all the way around my tumbler but no matter what i do it seems to bunch up somewhere along the way. the cup is not straight up and down, it is wider at the top and smaller at the bottom. (20 0z) any suggestions???
Jennifer Moya You need to warp the image. If you have a silhouette and the business edition it has that option for you.
thanks for the suggestion. I've got the cricut maker so i guess i just need to play around with it. trial by error until i get it right lol
I need to bother you once more! I have someone making my decals. I'm doing a few cups that will have color on them of course.

I seal with epoxy
@@MinderellaCreations thank you
Question:
Will the name sticker stay on even when getting wet ?
I put it under another layer of epoxy so it’s completely sealed. I have put it on the outside before and it has been fine as well.
I know this is an older video so hopefully you see this. I made my first come ever and will be keeping that one. It turned out pretty good for my first, but until I get something to turn it with, I’m waiting, lol. I am heading out soon for sandpaper as asitone!
About decals....at this time I can’t buy a machine or anything to create mine, maybe later. Are there decals I can get in the store or online pre made that are okay to use?
Thanks and love your video’s!
Gina Clark Etsy is a good place to get them premade. My friend has a group on Facebook called Ink Blots and she makes waterslide decals for sale.
Minderella Creations Thank you so much!
Where do you order your opal vinyl and have you used any other kind of vinyl? That opal is beautiful on your cup. Thanks for sharing.
You can order it online from Amazon or purchase from Michael's stores. It's the Cricut Holographic and it's linked in the video description. Thank you!
What do you use to make your decals? What machine?
Love your video 💕
Marissa Madril I use the Silhouette Cameo and love it! Thanks!
Awesome thanks for replying to me so quickly!:)
I see they have different ones.! Could I get your input as to which one is the best? Or are they similar to the first one?
Marissa Madril I like my silhouette Cameo. I think it’s the best but some use cricut and think it is. Lol. Preference.
What do you do if your vinyl lifts away from the cup while under the epoxy?
That's the worst when it happens. It's best to try and push it down with a silicone brush until the epoxy thickens up to where it stays under. If the epoxy is already cured, you'll need to sand it off down to the decal and reapply it and reepoxy.
I don’t have any machines for decals, is there another way to get decals?
Rosa Garza Etsy or find a place that sells waterslides like ink blots group on Facebook.
Minderella Creations Thank you
Can these cups crack or shatter when dropped after the epoxy is fully cured?
cassblack2006 yes, I’ve seen them crack.
I tried my first cup and used what I assume is more of a chunky glitter and cannot get the tumbler smooth... very upsetting.. do you have any tips?
Use epoxy as the adhesive instead of mod podge for chunky glitters. It will lay flat instead of be as bump. Still a few bumps, but not as bad.
Do a coat of epoxy over the glitter and then sandpaper it when its dry, then do another coat of epoxy.
What happen if I put a coat of expoy after sticking the decal?
I generally put another coat after laying the decal so it’s sealed in.
I am just thinking about getting started doing this, looks like fun. What are the basics that I need in regards to the decal part of it? I wish I could find a starter checklist or something.
Julia Aguillon-Garcia It depends on what you’re wanting to do really. To do just the decal it’s probably a good idea to get a starter bundle that includes the machine.

thanks i was considering a bundle..i just dont want to spend more than i really need to begin playing around in case i find its to hard or whatever. thanks for the reply back.
Julia Aguillon-Garcia Just look at the contents for what you want to do and get one that matches. I started with a bundle.
I’ve only used Silhouette so I have no experience with the Cricut. People who do tumblers I’ve heard prefer the Silhouette.
For the night sky glitter... did you paint the cup first?
Ember Clinkenbeard I did not.
So these are completely done and ready to go then? In some other comments you said you put epoxy over the decals as well as over the glitter. But in the video you don't say anything about that & you make it sound as if all you need to do is stick the vinyl on and your done. I'm confused.

How much glitter does it normally take to coat a 30 oz tumbler? Thank you!
Jackie wood Depends on if you paint the tumbler or not. 1/3 ounce is what I generally use per cup I’d say. Less if painted.
So it's okay to epoxy over your vinyl? I apologize I'm soooo new to this
Yes, it is. :) I generally epoxy to seal all of my decals in.
And suggest on how to make it stick?
What kind of epoxy is used? Will I be able to apply words if I used mod podge instead of epoxy? I’ve been searching and can not find any epoxy anywhere PLEASE HELP thanks
getyoliferight I have links in the description of this video.
ua-cam.com/video/MElvr9sqc-E/v-deo.html
Minderella1225 thank you so much for responding. in the other video you also used epoxy, can I just use mod podge as the sealer and for the gloss??
getyoliferight I always use Epoxy. It’s the only thing that’ll give you a glass like appearance. For a mug or something you could use dishwasher safe mod podge, but it has a 28 day cure before you can put it in the dishwasher and it doesn’t shine your glitter like Epoxy.
Minderella1225 oh ok!!! Thank you, I’ll have to go hunting. None of the stores here have epoxy
thanks for the clarity, i appreciate it!
What do you do when; you put epoxy on your decals and put it on the rotator and it starts running make the decal colors run ?
Cricut glitter vinyl has to be sealed or the color will run. I haven't had any issues with any other brand.
Minderella Creations what do you seal it with ?
Taya Gibson Any sealer that you have. Some have issues. I use either 2x rustoleum Clear or Clear Acrylic sealer.
Minderella Creations thank you!!
Where do you buy the epoxy. N can u post a picture of. Have a hard time finding it. Tk you
Irma Davalos Lambardia check my supplies tutorial. I have it linked.
Do you hzvs a video showing how you apply the epoxy when your done with the glitter an then after your put the decals on?
Yolanda Arocha my marker tutorial I show applying the final layer of epoxy.
What is the difference between silhouette 1 2 or 3?
1 is old and I don't think you can purchase except from someone else. The 2 and 3 are detailed pretty well here:

Thank you so much 😊
Do you just epoxy the vinyl or the whole cup again?
Shar Jones whole cup!
Minderella1225 Thanks for replying!
Shar Jones Sure!
What is the name of the font you used for the Christina decal?
Aycel Villalobos Carrolinas
NEWBIE here: ok, i'm still confused. AFTER u put on decal, dont u reapply more epoxy or sealant so it will not peel after washing? thank u so much, debbie
debbie donovan yes, I do
Question, how do you deal the vinyl? Do you just put epoxy on it?
Shelby Gargiulo I seal it with epoxy.
Can you epoxy immediately after placing the decal?
I'm new to the tumbler world, what grit sandpaper do you use when sanding is needed?
LADY B'S CUISINE I use 400.
Thank you so much!!
my resin peels off with the transfer tape. What am I doing wrong? It feels off like paraffin wax!
Is your resin fully cured? Needs to be hard, at least 24 hours before you apply decal.
@@MinderellaCreations thank you this could be the situation. I only waited about 11 hours. I will try 24 this time
How exactly did you cut out the Christina? Did you use a die cut?
Alexandra Hamilton I used my silhouette cameo.
What kind of epoxy do you use? I had to strip my cup so many times. I keep getting little bumps in my cups, so i sand it down. I need to know how do you get it so clear like that. I use the epoxy kit from Hobby Lobby. P. S. I Like your videos please keep up the good work.
Tammie Duncan thanks! I use FX Premium Poxy. I’ve used the Alumilite as well and ultra clear
Thank you ☺ you are the reason I started doing this. I seen your videos on youtube
Tammie Duncan That’s awesome!
Hi Minderella Creations, do you get better results with either epoxy in particular?
Keshonia Brown I order the FX as it’s a little thicker.
Hi!!! That vinyl have resistance to the water?
Mitko&Elena Conevi It’s cricut adhesive vinyl. I am not sure if it’s dishwasher safe, but my cups aren’t anyway so it doesn’t matter.
How big do you cut the names? Love your videos!
Depends on the size of the tumbler. I measure the viewable area and adjust to fit.
What is that you sit your cups in to put the vinyl decal on?
Tanesha Rosser It’s an organizing bin from Target.
Minderella1225 thanks...love the cups
Thank for this video!! ❤
May i ask a question is there a decal maker that prints out the images?
KINGDOM kid 4 Life! I create the decals using a vinyl cutter.
Minderella1225 thank you for replying I seen in another comment someone asked what machine did you use. The machine makes the decals just ask we see in the video? I also seen the variety of vinyls. The creation options are vast! Question can you put these vinyls on metal like a pen? And one more question... Lol
Can use adjust the size of the decal?
KINGDOM kid 4 Life! You use the software it comes with it to design it. You can change the size and pretty much everything.
Do you sell your creations? If so where? Are they yeti? TFS~chelle 🌻
chellesunflwr They are Hogg. Compatible to a Yeti.
Where did u get the vinyl on the first tumbler, it looks ombre-ish
cutflower the vinyl is cricut Holographic opal
Where do you purchase your transfer tape?
I purchase several places. It's the TransferRite medium tack transfer tape that I use.
has the vynil decal ever bleed? i used cricut vynil and it bled:(
Cricut Glitter bleeds. It sucks, don't use it!
Minderella1225
tnks for the input now I know
What kind of epoxy do you get?
I have all of them listed in the description of my supplies tutorial here on my channel. :)
How long do you wait to do another layer of epoxy after applying decal?
Tiffany Goodhue If I can I wait until the next day to give it time to cure a bit. But as long as you press it on REALLY well you can apply immediately. If it’s not pressed everywhere enough, you can have a decal lift under your epoxy.
Minderella1225 thank you so much for replying so quickly both times I’ve asked a question 😁
Tiffany Goodhue No problem!

Minderella1225 Ooh how awesome! Thank you 🤗🤗 God bless
How much would you estimate is needed to begin a business selling cups like these?
Sarah Carichner One million dollars! 😬😂
Sarah Carichner It’s a lot of startup to get a lot of supplies. You can start small with a few colors, small stash of epoxy and cups and be fine and work up to whatever level you want.
Those turned out beautiful! I'm a newbie at this so excuse any dumb questions or comments...LOL. So you just sand around the vinyl and epoxy one more time...yes?

AggieMom2 Maupin I haven’t sealed before, but if I did, I would only seal after final coat of glitter before applying epoxy.
The glitter is fine or extra fine?
The glitter on both of these cups is extra fine.
Hi! How long after applying the first coat of epoxy do you wait to apply the decal?
Shannon Washington Until it’s cured hard to the touch. 10-12 hours is the soonest. I usually wait 24 Because I don’t have time before.
Can you stick vinyl before adding the epoxy and once ur done adding glitter and vinyl can u use epoxy ?
Jessica Moreno The vinyl shows bumps very well and sticking it directly onto the glitter it would be very rough looking. It also wouldn’t adhere very well and could pop up out of your epoxy.
What kind of sand paper do you use to sane the glitter?
Lanell garfias I linked it in the details of my sanding tutorial.

DO YOU TORCH AFTER THE APOXY???

This may be silly, what do you mean by curing?
canise82 Curing is the process of the epoxy getting hard. You apply it wet and after 8-12 hours it will become hard as a rock.
Minderella1225 thank you so much! Your products are so amazing
canise82 No problem!
Can you do a video on how to design stuff on cricut?
I do not have a cricut. I have a silhouette Cameo. I have a couple videos where I show how I designed the cuts.
What is the size used for the decal????
terrie325 usually 3.5x3.5 is the largest I go for a 30oz cup
Will this work on a stainless steal Starbucks tumbler?
