Gather Supplies
You’ll need glitter, epoxy, and a tumbler for this project. Make sure you have enough vinyl and stencils for your design. Also, don’t forget gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask for safety.
Choose your favorite glitter colors and mix them if you like. Now, measure and cut your vinyl or stencil. Let’s get creative!
Measure and Cut Vinyl or Stencil
It’s time to measure and cut your vinyl or stencil. Measure the tumbler’s size and mark it on your vinyl or stencil. Cut along the lines with scissors for a precise fit.
Now, you’re ready to apply the vinyl or stencil to the tumbler. Let’s go!
Apply Vinyl or Stencil to Tumbler
Apply your vinyl or stencil with precision. Use a credit card to smooth it onto the tumbler. Rub from the center outwards to avoid bubbles.
If using a stencil, apply gentle pressure. Vinyl application requires extra care when removing it from its backing paper. Use a craft knife to cut along the edges before peeling back the top layer. You’ll have perfect placement in no time!
With that done, it’s time to paint your Tumbler with Mod Podge.
Paint Tumbler with Mod Podge
Gently brush on a thin layer of Mod Podge over the tumbler. You can choose from many glitter types for a unique look. Have fun experimenting with different colors and textures!
Once you’ve decided, it’s time to sprinkle glitter onto the tumbler for a dazzling final touch.
Sprinkle Glitter onto Tumbler
Give your tumbler a magical makeover with glitter! Choose from holographic, iridescent, and metallic glitter types. Use an adhesive, then sprinkle it over the tumbler. Gently tap off any excess for a smooth finish. Then, twinkle away into the next step!
Shake off Excess Glitter
After sprinkling glitter, shake off any extra for a perfect look. Wrap the cup in a paper towel and shake hard. This removes loose glitter that didn’t stick.
Make sure to shake all sides of the tumbler. Then, use rubbing alcohol to clean off any glue left. Now, you’re ready to seal your tumbler with Mod Podge!
Seal Glitter with Mod Podge
Apply Mod Podge to seal your glitter design. You can use different methods for sealing. For a glossy finish, add extra Mod Podge layers.
For extra protection, use clear sealant or epoxy resin. These methods make your design last longer. After sealing, peel off vinyl or stencils for the final touches.
Peel off Vinyl or Stencil
Peel away the vinyl or stencil to reveal your design. You can use adhesives and painting to create a stunning tumbler. The adhesive makes sure everything comes off cleanly.
Let the tumbler dry before adding a topcoat. This ensures a lasting design. After drying, your tumbler is ready to enjoy!
