To create a slow flow for the glitter. If it was just water, it would fall to the bottom immediately.

Thank you! I really appreciate this. I haven’t created anything in almost a year. But yes that vinyl can be a nightmare 😂

I think it’s worth a try. I’ve never tried mixing the paint with glycerin and water only. It could be because oil and water don’t mix so the paint isn’t sticking? I tried experimenting once and wanted to create two colors in one cup and my food coloring wouldn’t mix with the glycerin or water.

@endlessdesignsbylou2539 That could be, it's strange though because the glycerin and water mix together perfectly, but when I try to add the paint it just clumps.. I even tried mixing it with just the glycerin, and the same happened. Interesting, but your food coloring mixes well with all 3 together? So maybe something about adding the glue helps it combine

@cnr0118 yes the food coloring works with all three and also with just glue and water only. I believe the glue helps out a lot.

@endlessdesignsbylou2539 good to know, thank you for your help!! 😊

@cnr0118 you’re welcome!

Yes the mixture is water, glue, and glycerin .

1/4 cup of glycerin and glue. 1/2 cup of water

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 thank u

Never mind, I found it!! Click "Position" then "advanced"!

You’re welcome!

You’re so welcome! Thank you

Because I don’t like that method. I’ve tried it and once the hole gets wet, the glitter starts to clog up the hole.

No I don’t, I’ve gotten mine from Etsy .

I do see some people adding liquid beforehand and I’ve tried it a couple times and don’t prefer it. Once the hole gets wet, the glitter will get clogged there. Could maybe try one of those bottles with the angled tip so it goes directly down the side.

I have the HP 3830 inkjet printer and use the ink that comes with it . Inkjet printers are the best for waterslides

Thank you ! I got them from peachscrystals.com . She usually has a bogo free sale on the boxes and you can choose colors

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 awesome, thanks for letting me know! Learning so much from your channel so far 😃

You’re welcome! Thank you so much ☺️

Yes, they are from peachscrystals.com

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 thank you

Thank you so much ! Was your first one a success?

Yes , that’s my main source for getting images.

It’s the HP Officejet 3830

Yes, I did that with the blue paint. But remember it will still separate and sink with the glitter.

Also have you ever tried adding a little bit of liquid in the tumbler first then adding all the Glitters and then adding Your solution after you have all your Glitters in to try and stop it from sticking to the top of the cup?

Yes I have and after the hole gets wet, it’s hard for the glitter to go down . It gets stuck and I’m too impatient for that. Someone said it works for them. Although I had to fix a leaking tumbler yesterday and I left a little bit of liquid, it works but I was frustrated with the hole. I had to use a safety pin to clear it out.

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 TYSM 💗

No problem!

You can but the mica powder will always settle. I added a little bit to the blue.

Awww thank you so much! I’m so happy that my tutorial helped you .

I’m glad this tutorial helped you 😊

You’re welcome!

Starbucks cups no, the Maars cups from Amazon yes. You can do a water test by filling your sink up with water, submerging your cup and if you see water in between the layers, it’s not sealed. You can seal the rim with regular or uv resin .

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 thank you. Where do you get starbucks cups, all my stores in Kentucky are sold out

I haven’t purchased any recently but I usually call around to different Starbucks locations or go to the one in Target. I’m not sure if you have Kroger but they sell them as well. People sell them on Etsy but of course it’s more expensive. And I’ve seen them on Alibaba.com but you’ll have to wait a few weeks for them.

There’s also Starbucks dupes that you can get from craftycupsource.com

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 thank you

Thank you so much! I was thinking about doing a tutorial on how to empty a cup. Please let me know if I can help. I enjoy doing these 😊

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 will do

Same! I’ve thrown out 2 cups because it all sits at the top. Apparently I don’t have the patience she does ha

We threw it out . It lasted for a few months and with my daughter constantly playing with, the paint started to chip. I would recommend using interior paint and sealing it. We just used rustoleum spray paint .

No problem 😉

You’re welcome! Will do

I honestly never have a set amount of glitter. It’s typically halfway between the bottom and first line. Some people fill to the first line but I think that’s too much. When I pour the glitter in, I don’t shake the cup to see where it’s at. It usually builds up on one side , which is past all the lines if that makes sense? My ratio is 1/4 cup glue and glycerin . 1/2 water . I’ve known the liquid to evaporate using different methods and ratios and this works best for me. Did you seal the bottom? You should be able to refill.

Thank you so much!!

Yes I add epoxy for customers because I don’t want anything peeling up and I don’t know if they want to feel the vinyl. I’ve seen people use clear vinyl shield if they don’t want to epoxy. I’ve also used the seal it pen for a friend who didn’t want epoxy.

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 seal it pen? Ooooo I’m going to look for that because I can’t epoxy. I do this because I’m disabled and need to craft to not go crazy but epoxy is too hard for me and dangerous. So I’m going to look for this pen. My vinyl lifts after a while and I don’t want that.

There’s also clear vinyl shield! It might be better, especially if your vinyl is thin or layered, i haven’t used it yet but I learned about it months ago.

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 I just saw that right now. So do you make the same design just layered slightly bigger so it’ll cover your design? And cut with the Cricut the same?

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 thank you so much for responding right away! I’m a beginner but I love this.

No I don’t . I only added epoxy to Ghostface and the beach one. It’s really whet your prefer. There’s a couple other ways to seal the vinyl as well.

@@endlessdesignsbylou2539 I usually don’t but was curious what others do. Your work is beautiful. Can’t wait for more videos
