- Anthony Crammen did indeed make his very first resin tumbler!!!!!! See that video here: • Making A Resin And Alc...
After a recent convo with Anthony Crammen about how much equipment, colorants, and stuff in general I've acquired just to make resin tumblers, I wanted to show a much easier, less stuff-oriented type of tumbler: the beginner-friendly Alcohol Ink Swirl Tumbler. So that's what this video is all about. The glitter, vinyl, acrylic ink, airbrush, waterslide, printable sticker paper, and holographic nail tape gods all laughed and laughed.
I've listed my recommended products below, but please use whatever you have and/or can source that's economical for you.

After seeing this video, Anthony Crammen did indeed make his very first resin tumbler!!!!!! See that video here: ruclips.net/video/Wrqzcj5PZIA/видео.html
Well I'm adding this to my list now! 😁😁
Lol! Do it; do it!!
Can’t wait to see you try it, it’s a lot of fun!
@@wtglb I'll try my best! 😅😅
Can't wait to see it Anthony! I have faith in you! After you make your fist tumbler you will want to keep making them!! Lol
Huzzah! Can't wait to see what you come up with.
After 2 years this is still my favorite type of tumbler to make. I love that no 2 ever come out exactly the same. Yours are always stunning.
Thank you so much!!! It really is a great way to produce pretty stunning results 😊🥰
❤❤❤❤❤❤wow love the colours combo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!😊
My favorite color combo!
😊thanks for watching!
🤍this!!! Beautiful job!!
Thank you!!💜💜
wow... watching it I had my doubts... but it is gorgeous...
Love the lacing on this, great colors, too 👍🏻
Thank you!! I give full credit to the Marabu deep white ink for all the lacing on this cup. I’ve never seen it to quite that degree before. 🥰🥰
Beautiful! I love it!
Thank you very much!! 😊
Right. I'm getting back in the workshop tomorrow and making myself an ink swirl. So simple yet so stunning.
Yay!! Have fun!!
We need a whole bunch of tumbler emojis, like at least one of every style or method. 🥤☕️
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! You too! Merry Christmas!🎁🎄
Beautiful as always!!
Thanks so much!!😊😊💜
You're absolutely amazing! I love your tutorials!
Thank you so much!!😊🥰
I loooooove alcohol ink swirls. So easy and so new! I use this same epoxy and it is my FAVE! Soooo beautiful💜💜💜
Thank you!! 😊😊
That is gorgeous 😍
Thank you!! 😊😊
Beautiful as always!! Merry Christmas Cindy!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!!🎄🎁 😁
Oh my goodness, ok I am going to start making tumblers, just gorgeous 😮
Thank you!! Have fun with it!!
It’s so beautiful 😍 love the color combo ❤ stay blessed 🥰 Merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks very much!! Merry Christmas!!!😊🎄🎁
Love it ❤ - great idea and colors for a Stitch tumbler I have to make… thanks 😊
Thank you so much and have fun!😊😊
Love it yes I will try that also looks easy thank you so much
Thank you!! Have fun with it!!
So much lacing! Came out really pretty! ❤️
Thanks!!! I can’t say I was shocked, but I was very pleased. Most of the action seems to be between the Marabu deep white and the 2 WG inks. Gonna have to experiment some more with that combo. 😁😁
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎁
BEAUTIFUL gonna try this for my first tumbler. Thank you 😊
Thank you!! Definitely have fun with it!😊😊
Love it
Gorgeous tumbler. ❤ the colors. Definitely will make one of these. 🥰
Thank you!! Have fun! 😁
@@Luxinda cracked up watching Anthony. Yet his tumbler came out awesome. So I ordered a bunch of Woody’s ink. Another new obsession. Lol. Thanks so much for sharing his tutorial. ❤️ the tutorials. Have a few projects to do them will do this one. 🥰
I agree with you, absolutely Gorgeous
Thank you!!! And so easy 😊✨
Magnificent
Thank you!😊
HAPPY HOLIDAYS Luxinda have a safe and BLESSED one...... From LOUISIANA it is so cold here not used of it being this cold for christmas🎄🎉🎁
Happy holidays to you too!!! It’s 3-degrees here in WV today. Cannot wait for this cold snap to be over! 🥶🥶🥶
I know you stop making video- I still watch them over & over - thank you
Thank you so much - I’m glad you enjoy them! 😊😊
Merry Christmas Cindy Loo Who!! Hope your holiday is fun! I caught a crappy cold\ flu from my Grandson, so I'm just trying to keep stuff down. Luv ya! ❤💛💚💙💜🌈🌠
Oh no - I’m so sorry you’re feeling crappy, especially at the Holidays! I hope you feel better very soon!!!
Merry Christmas!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I do other resin and I'm finally gonna try some tumblers and glass. They are the only thing that intimate me
Just consider it another resin experiment and see what happens - pretty soon, the intimidation will be gone 😊
My first one was blue and purple with silver alloy which took over (as it tends to do) It didn't work out well and i has to strip it. My first success was red and white on a black cup. That is our school colors here. My son uses it daily. I love the colors you chose. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Ooooh, red and white on black sounds awesome!! Yeah, metallics are a whole different animal 😁
@@Luxinda I'll post a picture of it in the FB group. 🙂
That is stunning. Where is the rainbow glisten?? lol. I do love it..hugs Sheryl 💙🎨💙
😁😁 no extras in this one. Those come later!
@@Luxinda lol. Tumbler is so pretty...the way it looked its like when I have done that technique in coaster... nice job...
Some pretty smooth color combinations that go together great!!! It's gorgeous. One question, do you have to use a straw or can you drink from it direct? Some people tape off the top inch or so. Suggestion???
Thank you!! Honestly, it’s all personal preference however anyone wants to drink out of it, or if any of it gets taped off. The straw is there for anyone who doesn’t want to touch the resin with their lips 🤷♀️
Absolutely Beautiful 😍💚💙I think Mr Anthony should definitely give Tumbler making a try👍🏻👍🏻😊you and yours have a VERY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄Ms Cindy🫶🏻😍🎄❣️
Well, he has to now, right?🤔
Poor guy! 🤣🤣🤣
Do you need to put a sealer on it? Also which spray paint do you recommend? It is amazing love ❤ the choice of colours.
For the purposes of this video, I showed only the initial layer of resin and colors, but from that point, the cup should get at least one more layer of clear resin to protect everything. You can either give the tumbler a very light sanding (with, say, 120 grit) in between layers then clean the cup off and apply the next layer of resin, or you can spray in between layers with a clear matte or semi-gloss spray. I prefer Rustoleum, but Krylon works also. Hope this answers your question.
A newbie here, do you have to the tumbler shown or can you use a stainless steel one ( not spray painted)
Hi newbie! 😁 You can absolutely use alcohol inks in this way on a nekkid stainless steel tumbler. In fact, I have a video where I do exactly that - not everyone is crazy about the look of the metal showing through, but I think it’s gorgeous.
ruclips.net/video/FpxF3hvTDdo/видео.html
question. After you were done applying the alcohol inks to the tumbler did you seal it again? If so, how many times did you seal it?
Yes, there’s always a layer or two of clear resin to seal everything once you have the design completed. I don’t usually show those in the videos because there’s nothing to see, and it won’t change the look of the cup design at all so it’s not very interesting to watch. But yes, depending on what’s on the tumbler (vinyl, chunky glitter, etc) it may take a few layers of clear to give a smooth glass-like finish to the whole thing.
I love it 😍 just my colors. Is it for sale?
Thanks Tammy!! Send me an email (lux.tumblers@gmail.com)
I’m curious. Do you ever have trouble with the alcohol inks fading on tumblers? I still consider myself a beginner, and I’d love to try this technique. But I’ve had other types of resin projects with alcohol inks that have faded.
AI are known to fade, I think the best you can do is spray the project with UV Archival Spray before putting on the final coat of epoxy. I’ve seen an artist give her AI painting a coat of Kamar Varnish over the Archival spray before the final epoxy
Hi there, is there a certain color that needs to go on 1st, 2nd, 3rd......?
Not at all, whatever you want to put on first will be perfect. The only "order" of things is to put all the colors on however you want to, and then add the white (altho, after you've added the white, hit it with heat, tilted it, and all of that, you can still add more color inks if you want to). It's an almost flawless method of decorating a tumbler.
How do you keep hills or bumps/craters from forming in the resin? I did one last night, and it is not smooth. 😢
That’s a very common occurrence. If you catch the craters forming while the resin is still liquid, just a light tap of your gloved finger on that area can mix things up a bit and help. If you don’t find the craters till the resin has set, just put another layer over to get things smooth. You can even add more alcohol inks into the second layer if there are bare spots you need to cover.
Thank you for the video i'm new to this may i ask do you need to leave the tumbler rolling over night or is there a set time you need to do this please.
Thank you!! With regular resin, like I used in this video, i usually leave it overnight. It can take up to 12 hours to set up and be dry to the touch. With a fast-set resin like Mr Nola’s Glitter’s Speed Coat or Speedy Petey from DIY Epoxy, those cups will be dry to the touch in 2-3 hours. Hope this helps!
@@Luxinda Thank you so much for your information
Great video, thx. I'm just trying to start 😊. I hace few tumblers from Big5, some black ando some teal can I use that type? What would I need to do to prep them? Thanks in advance & blessings
Thank you!! If you’re starting with tumblers that already come in colors, that probably means there’s some sort of coating on them. In that case, just sand them first (80 grit sandpaper or sanding block should work fine), clean them, then add resin and alcohol inks like in the video. You can also sand them, clean, then spray paint them a different color before using any resin if you want. I would consider the first tumbler you use to be a test, and have fun with it! Hope this helps 😊
@Luxinda thank you so much for your reply I really appreciated & I will do as you say 😃
Love this! Super helpful! After the inks dry overnight do you apply a top coat of epoxy? How many coats do you do and how far apart do you apply them? Thanks for your help!
Thank you!! Yes, I’d apply at least one cover coat, but since it/they won’t change the look of the tumbler, I don’t include things like that in the video. If I’m using regular resin (not fast-set), I’ll let a layer set up overnight before adding another. If it’s a fast-set, then whatever the touch-time is for that resin. But that’s just me, and I don’t have to churn multiple cups out quickly, in which case additional layers could be added once the surface is tacky.
I have never done one yet. My question is, can you just put alcohol ink on with the tumbler and then just put the resin over it.
@marianclennon yes, absolutely! Alcohol ink can be dropped on, dabbed on with a sponge or painted on. The thing to remember is whatever you do to apply alcohol ink, let it dry thoroughly on the tumbler before applying resin over it. You could also seal the inks on with clear spray paint, let that dry then apply the resin. Some folks always seal inks before resin, other people let the ink dry then put the resin on without sealing (it’s personal preference).
Thank you very much. I appreciate the information.
Thinking of starting do you keep it turning over night
I do, yes, but if you use the fast-set or hyper-fast-set epoxy resins available now, that’s really not necessary. In the case of this style of tumbler, using the regular 12- to 24-hour resin gives more swirling opportunity for the alcohol inks, so that’s what I usually do.
Did you leave the tumbler turning all night? Thanks
Yes, I did -- that's just easier for me time-wise. Thanks for watching and your question!
Hello! I followed this video, painted my tumbler and I cannot get the resin to adhere to the top and bottom edge (lots of fish eyes). What am I doing wrong? I use Naked Fusion resin. Thanks!
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you're having this difficulty! First of all, know that fish eyes are not uncommon at all and can happen frequently no matter what the situation. I did take a look at Naked Fusion resin because I'm not familiar, and it does say the original art resin works for tumblers. The thinner resins they have probably won't work. Did you spray paint the tumbler with a matte finish paint or glossy? Glossy can actually cause the resin to slip off sometimes, especially around the rims. The resin, while the Naked Fusion website does mention that it works on tumblers, may be just a little too thin to really hang onto the tumbler. And even if everything is perfect, sometimes resin and alcohol inks just result in fish eyes. The good news is it's fixable. Give the whole cup a very light sanding with a fine grit sandpaper or sanding block, wipe it down with a damp paper towel, then spray the tumbler with a matte clear spray paint to add a rougher surface. When dry, apply more resin -- that should cover everywhere including where the resin didn't stick the first time. If you want, you can also add more alcohol ink to the second layer of resin to cover up any obvious fish eyes you want to get rid of. I hope this helps!
@@Luxinda thank you! Yes to the matte paint (Rustoleium 2X).
What does everyone think is so ugly about the fish eyes I think they look cool 😂😂😂😂
Oh, I completely agree with you! But there are a lot of relatively new resin tumbler makers that get really stressed out by fish eyes because they see them as some sort of imperfection (many RUclips resin makers make fish eyes sound like something to be avoided at all cost). I think in general folks develop their own ideas and expectations then are disappointed when the resin does something different. So in this specific video for newbies - who are often the most stressed out by unexpected fish eyes - I was just trying to help them get the results they want.
I actually made several videos embracing and trying to encourage fish eyes, like this one:
When Resin Gives you Craters in Your Alcohol Ink Swirl Cup...
Thanks for your comment!

Great video! Just ordered my beginners kit.
Quick question though, it looked like some resin was inside the lip of the tumbler. How would I clean that up or prevent it from happening? Do you have any tips?
Thank you! Regarding resin getting inside the lip, you can use some painters tape inside the rim before you apply any resin, then pull the tape out before the resin sets up. Or, what I consider much easier is to clean off any resin after the cup is completely dry and set up by using the point of a craft knife. You can slip the point under the edge of any resin that’s inside the rim and simply flick it off - the resin doesn’t stick and will pop right off. Obviously you need to be careful not to scratch the resin that’s on the outside edge, so just go slowly. Everyone has their own preferred method, so you will need to do some experimenting and see what works best for you. Have fun!!!!
@@Luxinda perfect, thank you so much! I’m excited to get started!
May I ask where and what kit you got ?? I’ve been looking for some.
I'm a resin creator but never did a cup, it intimidates me. How do you determine how much resin you'll need?
A very general guideline is however many ounces the cup holds, you want that many milliliters of mixed resin. So for a 20-oz tumbler, mix up 20 ml of resin. You probably won’t actually need the whole 20ml, but that’s a pretty easy way to always have enough without much waste (and any resin you don’t use, can just get added to a silicone mold - I usually have a coaster or trinket bowl mold on hand just for the little bits of extra resin). Hope this helps! Once you do a tumbler or two, the intimidation should disappear and you can enjoy it 🤞😊
I have my 1st cups on the turner now but they are glitter. What a mess I made lol….I want to try these but my question is, do you have to use alcohol inks or can you use resin dye as well or will it not work like this? Yours is so pretty.
Thank you!! In general, resin dye is much more concentrated than alcohol inks, and it’s also not usually alcohol based like inks, so it won’t look the same. However it will still look beautiful, just not as spread out with the swirls (here’s a video where i did that: ruclips.net/video/To95rOEhH4Y/видео.html ). Hope this helps! Definitely give it a try just to see what you get 😊
@@Luxinda thank you very much!!! I will check it out.
What colors would you pick for your very first alcohol ink tumbler??🤔
Good Morning ☀️ Pretty Lady 😊I did a combo of pinks💖your videos are what encouraged me to step into the tumbler making Adventure🫶🏻😍✨🎨🧋thank you so much for all your Fantabulous experiments and encouragement Ms Cindy😍…that tumbler is BEAUTIFUL👍🏻👍🏻❣️

Where can I get sports themed decals? Team logos
Even though it’s not exactly allowed because of logo trademark issues, most every pro and college team logo is available on Etsy. Just do a search on a team name or a general sport and “logo” or “decal” and see what comes up.
I have a huge problem and painting the cups. Your cup looks perfect with no drips. I stand far from my cup but somehow I am still getting drips. Any secrets to your method?
I’m not entirely sure I understand what you mean - what’s dripping, the resin or the alcohol inks? If you could describe what exactly you’re doing when the drips happen, maybe I can help.
@@Luxinda I am referring to when you paint your tumbler white with rustoleum paint.
Ohhhh, you mean the spray painting, don’t you?? I just got it - sorry for misunderstanding! I don’t always manage to avoid drips, but the key is moving the can so the paint barely lands. Just back and forth quickly. Even a split-second too long in one place leaves a drip. I usually end up having to spray two layers of white to get good coverage.
@@sworley1956 yep, I just realized what you meant.
What epoxy do you use?Do you use a mask?
In this particular video I'm using "Tumblers Coating Epoxy" because it's available on Amazon, so many folks will have easy access to it. But normally, my favorite brand of resin is KS Resin. There are links to everything plus a coupon code or two in the Description area below this video. As for the mask, yes, I do wear a half-face respirator while I'm using resin. It's personal preference -- many people don't wear a mask at all. Once you find a resin you like, your best bet is to use the Material Safety Data Sheet available for that brand of resin (usually on the company's website) and read up on the effects that particular resin might have, then make your decision from that info.
Thank you for watching!!
How much epoxy did you use
😁 You got it 😁 Thanks for watching!!
Good afternoon 🌞 Did you let it turn all night until the next morning?
Hi, yes, I do for regular epoxy resin that takes 10-12 hours to set. It’s just easier for me, but some tumbler makers let their cups turn about 8 hours, then stop the turner, probably to save on electricity and the noise some turners make.
@@Luxinda thanks 🙏
my first video..this was made so simple, i don't think I wanna watch another video!!!!
Well, they *can* get much more complicated 😁 Welcome!!!
Do you keep it spinning for entire curing time? 💯 Newbie here.
I do, because I usually just let everything spin overnight. But my understanding is that after spinning about 6 hours, the tumbler doesn’t need to spin any longer (I’ve never tested that, tho). Of course, all of the above refers to “regular” resin that takes about 12+ hours to become touch dry. If you’re using a fast-set resin - which I would not recommend for a newbie to start with - then the cup can be done much sooner. But you should get comfortable using regular resin first, imo.
@@Luxinda Thank you so much. I work with resin, so this really makes sense. Have a great evening. Love your projects!
From the reflections on everyone's video the surface seems to be uneven, not perfectly smooth. Is that the way it is in "real life"?
Sometimes alcohol inks can result in the first layer not being pristinely flat or smooth, but that’s easily fixed with another coat of resin.
Why not apply resin with a sponge brush
Well, mainly because that’s a whole different type of alcohol ink tumbler. There are lots of different ways to get alcohol ink onto a tumbler, and this video was to show what I think is the easiest way for someone who’s brand new to resin tumblers and doesn’t know where to start. But that’s just my opinion. People can make whatever resin cup design or style they want 🤷♀️
My lung Doctor knows I do a variety of crafting projects. She does not want me doing any work with materials that require me to wear a mask/respirator, as my lungs are already so compromised from previous health issues. While I'm not yet so bad as to require supplemental oxygen, I hope to delay that need for as long as I can. That day, sadly, will come eventually.
On to my question... I've used UV Resins of various types for several years now, being careful to ensure they do not recommend the use of masks/respirators. In exploring the topic of resin on tumblers, however, it isn't clear if this type of resin can be used. I understand it would be difficult because of the need for a tumbler turner. An additional rig would be needed to brace or suspend the UV light. However, I would think that would also help in ensuring the UV Resin would properly cure as all sides would be exposed. You'd also have to keep re-activating the UV light until the entire tumbler was cured. Has anyone tested this out? Thanks!
I’m sorry to hear about health issues keeping you from crafting as much as you’d like! But I completely understand. To your question - yes, I have used UV resin on a tumbler that’s on a turner with a UV lamp, and it does work, although there is the drawback you mention about having to restart the lamp. There are black lights you can buy and screw into a regular light socket, then rig that over your turning tumbler, so that’s a possible option.
If you want to see what I did in one video, watch this one (and feel free to skip ahead to the 20 minute mark to get to the pertinent details)
ruclips.net/video/JqAhaMLgh0s/видео.html
You don’t drink out of that, do you?
Absolutely!
Why do all my tumblers have pock marks?
A lot of alcohol ink tumblers experience this problem through no fault of the artist - it’s simply something that happens with some resins and some alcohol inks. If you notice a divot or pock mark forming while the resin is still liquid, you can just gently tap the spot (or spots) with a gloved finger, and that usually does the trick. If you don’t see the pock marks until after the resin sets up, give the cup a light sanding, wipe it down with a damp cloth and apply another coat of resin that should set smooth. You can even drop more alcohol ink onto the second layer of resin if you need to try and cover up an area. Another possibility is to try a different brand of resin and/or a different brand of alcohol ink. For example, I have good luck with KS Liquid Stone resin and Marabu alcohol ink, but you may find other brands that work better for you. Good luck!
@@Luxinda could you please send a picture of the resin you use? There are so many.

Would love to hear what your doing and not that tinkling music
I wear a respirator when I'm using resin so I don't bother talking, especially since all I'm doing is exactly what you see on the screen: dropping alcohol inks onto the turning tumbler with no rhyme or reason where. There is no specific placement, it's whatever colors you want wherever you want to put them. That's why alcohol ink tumblers are some of the easiest to make for beginners. Thanks for watching!
