How to make tumblers with glitter?
Making tumblers with glitter can be a fun and creative project. Here are some steps to follow to make your own glitter tumbler:
Materials:
- Tumbler
- Fine glitter
- Epoxy resin
- Mixing cups
- Stir sticks
- Painters tape
- Disposable gloves
Steps:
Clean the tumbler with soap and water and dry thoroughly.
Use painter's tape to mask off any areas of the tumbler you do not want to glitter.
Put on disposable gloves and mix the epoxy resin according to the manufacturer's instructions in a mixing cup.
Pour a small amount of glitter into the resin and stir thoroughly. Add more glitter as needed until you achieve the desired glitter density.
Pour the glitter resin mixture into the tumbler, starting at the bottom and working your way up. Be careful not to pour too much at once, as this can cause air bubbles to form.
Use a stir stick or toothpick to smooth out any bubbles or uneven areas in the glitter resin.
Allow the glitter resin to dry and cure according to the manufacturer's instructions. This can take several hours or even overnight.
Once the glitter resin is dry and cured, carefully remove the painter's tape and admire your new glitter tumbler.
It's important to note that working with epoxy resin can be messy and potentially hazardous, so be sure to work in a well-ventilated area and follow all safety precautions recommended by the manufacturer. Additionally, not all types of glitter may be suitable for use with epoxy resin, so it's important to choose a fine glitter that is compatible with your chosen resin.
