I'm going to give the Crystal Lac a try. Also, in Silhouette you can go to the replicate panel and click fill sheet. That is easier than copy and pasting multiple strips. Thanks for your very thorough tutorials.

I want to refinish an old electric guitar face in fabric with glitter on the sides. Yes, I really do. Thank you for sharing the information.

Thank you for this AWESOME step by step tutorial!! I'm a cricut newbie and want to do tumblers. This has given me more confidence to GO AHEAD!!!😁😁😁

TU for your tutorials. I ordered the glitter glue and can't wait to use it.

yay! You're welcome!

EXCELLENT VIDEO... Beautiful

On the glitter glue steps, could you use mod podge instead? 😊 this is a gorgeous tumbler

That’s pretty

Really pretty!! I can't seem to get on board with Brite Tone. 10 coats is 40+ hours... I do love all your videos and your work.

@@AlisonCrafts Me again! So after much thought I decided to try Brite Tone. I am working on my first tumbler with it and it is quick and easy. I am not longer weighing the time but weighing what I (not looking to argue with anyone) perceive to be the risk factor compared to epoxy. It is so easy to use and I get the time issue. Not much different than 3 coats of epoxy. I am off to look for your videos that talk more about it. Thank you.

Love this tutorial but will be using epoxy instead of brite tone. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊

Make sure you wear a ventilator and cover your skin. Epoxy doesn't have a smell but the fumes are very toxic.

@@SavageMinnow I definitely will. Thank you! Love the tutorial :)

I would like to know how you apply gold leaf. Can you use glitter glue? I can't find any how tos with Brite Tone and Gold Leaf only foils. Thank You. I really enjoy your videos 😀

Is the brite tone toxic.. should it be used in a well ventilated area?... great job... you have a new follower ❤

I really like Simple Modern tumblers. Can I customize a tablet that comes with a solid base color?

I'm new to this method, after sanding ; do you clean off the excess dust from sanding ? If so , with what?

?s Can one use Mod Podge on to tumbler fabric ; 2X Rustleium clear Matt 3 coats then Bright tone? What exactly occurs when Bright tone is in contact w/ Mod Podge? Thanks in advance for assistance 😇

How would you wash these fabric tumblers?

Hi Allison. How do I keep the glitter from getting on my fabric? I give the tumbler a soft brush but still get the glitter.

So I need to know... Can you use Crystalac instead of glitter glue to coat your tumbler initially? Are you basically sanding each new material as you add and coat it (glitter, vinyl, etc)? The user guide for Crystalac says you can reapply it as soon as two hours. Why four here?

How long did you let the glitter glue dry before you cut the fabric. From top to bottom. I can’t perfect this step. I love fabric cups but hate this step.

I'm been dying to try my first one, so this video came out just in time! My only thing is I can't figure out what I want to do with the top & the bottom (where I trim off the fabric). I'm also thinking about how much I want to trim off the top & the bottom ( with the cup edging tool). Also, could you put Glitter Glue over the vinyl so it doesn't lift? I've had vinyl lift in the past and I found a tip where you can use GG to not get it to lift.

Sweet! I'm new to Crystalac. Just received my Grand Finale. Can I use the GF to attach fabric?

Yay!! I haven’t tried that but if you have glitter glue I know that works great

wich paper do you use .. where you by it ? thank you

Alison, I am new to sublimation and I have messed up several tumblers, I wanted to know if I could heat the images off the tumbler and then use fabric & glitter & vinyl over them using the epoxy method. Would you be willing to do a step by step video and try it for me. I would make a video myself but I don't know how to do these kind of videos.

yes or you can just sand it down and use it like you would a normal tumbler!

What is bright tone ?

Help please! How do you wash the tumbler after you are done with it?

Handwash with soap and water! Then dry immediately

If I sublimate my tumbler a solid color can I apply the fabric to the sublimated tumbler with the glitter glue without having to sand it?

@AlisonCrafts

you really need to prep it. I have used clear spray paint over the sublimation and then gone in with crystalac and it worked well!

What’s the cure time before you can give it to a customer??
