There is another video of me applying the epoxy with the glitter mixed in at the bottom of the post in the card. I think that’s why I got a few diagonal lines because the epoxy was sliding slightly sideways since it wasn’t flat. I did make a mistake on the bigger glitter tumbler with not having enough paper towels around the foam to keep it straight. Then add a sheet of wax paper underneath where your cup will be spinning because the epoxy is super sticky and will fall off!
If I’m not making two glitter tumblers with my double tumbler turner I just put an extra stainless steel tumbler on the other end to balance it out. I’ve also seen people use small foam footballs from the Dollar Store and cut a hole in them and attach them to the ends. I then wrapped paper towels or bubble wrap around the foam until the glitter tumbler was secure. I had a long rod that we use to attach to paint rollers so I slid that through and added pool noodles to each end. I started by punching two round holes in the sides of a box with a stamping punch. I saw something similar online somewhere and modified to use whatever I had in the house.
**Update** I now have a video tutorial of how I spray paint stainless steel tumblers, click here to watch! I don’t know if the stainless steel composition changed or what because other paint than the enamel used to run for me, but not anymore! I know in my previous tumbler tutorials I said you had to use a specific brand of paint but for some reason, I used two different kinds and they both worked perfectly. Just circle around it as you spray a little dusting over it. Turn the cup over (so the bottom of the tumbler is up) in a well-ventilated area and spray paint from about 12 inches away. If you’d like to see a video tutorial on how I tape off the cups, click here.Ĭover your work surface and then we are going to apply a base coat of paint that is similar in color to the glitter we are going to use. If I’m taping off the bottom I also add a piece of press and seal so paint won’t get on the bottom. The epoxy also can break if it falls hard on the bottom edge so something to think about. The Alumilite is FDA approved but I still don’t like my mouth on it so I tape off the top. The first thing you’ll want to do is tape off the top and bottom of the cup (if you want). You can always browse my Amazon storefront with my complete DIY Tumbler supply list. Vinyl, HTV or decals and Cricut or another cutting machine (If you have a Cricut, check out my resource guide of Cricut Ideas here!)

Plus there are printable instructions at the end of the post with key steps.
I even have a video of how I apply the epoxy because it was too hard to take pictures of since I had sticky gloved hands.
I’m definitely not an expert on how to make epoxy tumblers, but I learned a bunch from watching youtube videos and figured some stuff out on my own. This glitter tumbler tutorial is pretty long so stay with me! I will go back and forth between cups to show you as many pics as possible.
