Glitter tumblers are the perfect way to add a touch of glam to your everyday routine. Whether you're sipping on your morning coffee or enjoying a refreshing drink at a picnic, a glitter tumbler is sure to make you feel extra special. If you're interested in learning how to make glitter tumblers, then you've come to the right place!

To get started, you'll need to gather your supplies. Here's what you'll need:

A tumbler of your choice (we'll discuss some popular options later)

Glitter

Epoxy resin

Vinyl tape or stickers

Gloves

Stir sticks

Measuring cups

Once you have all of your supplies, it's time to get started!

Step 1: Clean Your Tumbler

Before you start decorating your tumbler, make sure it's clean and free of any dirt or debris. You can wash it with soap and water and let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Apply Vinyl Tape or Stickers

If you want to create a design or pattern on your tumbler, you can use vinyl tape or stickers to create a stencil. Apply the tape or stickers to the tumbler in the desired design, making sure they're pressed down firmly.

Step 3: Add Glitter

Now it's time to add the glitter! You can use one color or multiple colors to create a unique look. Sprinkle the glitter onto the tumbler, making sure it covers the entire area you want to glitter. You can also use a brush to sweep the glitter into place and make sure it's evenly distributed.

Step 4: Mix Epoxy Resin

The next step is to mix the epoxy resin. Follow the instructions on the package carefully, as the mixing ratios may vary depending on the brand you use. Be sure to wear gloves while handling the resin.

Step 5: Apply Epoxy Resin

Using a stir stick, carefully apply the epoxy resin to the glittered area of the tumbler. Make sure it's evenly distributed and covers the glitter completely. You may need to do multiple coats, depending on the desired thickness.

Step 6: Let It Dry

Once you've applied the epoxy resin, let the tumbler dry for at least 24 hours. Make sure it's in a well-ventilated area and away from any dust or debris.

Step 7: Remove Vinyl Tape or Stickers

Once the epoxy resin is completely dry, carefully remove the vinyl tape or stickers to reveal your glitter design! Your glitter tumbler is now ready to use.
