It's A Craft Thing - Alisha Virgillo

Hi. My name is Alisha and I'm a crafter. I aim to help people place beautiful things in their home that they truly love. I am all about handmade arts and crafts, upcycling and recycling where possible to create unique pieces of art.
My focus is mainly on tumblers, pens and wine bottles but if I can put glitter on it, I'm sure to show you how :)
Now I'm here to show you how.

Please consider subscribing. I appreciate your support, it means the world to me.

I upload videos every Thursday morning at 7 a.m. EST.

Thank you for joining me!

    I have a broken seal on my acrylic tumbler, And water has gotten in between the two layers. Needless to say, I was delighted to see that Alisha had made a video of how to repair tumblers with broken seals. However, I found her video to be less than helpful. Rather than getting right down to the solution, she had to add a LONG DRAWN OUT version of the personal story of her shipment of tumblers possibly being defective, and freaking out over what she was going to do about it. It was way too much information, when she could’ve given the shorter version. Between that and her young daughter interrupting her CONSTANTLY and waving a dollar bill In front of the camera so it blocked the view of Alisha showing how to repair the tumbler, it was no help at all. Don’t get me wrong, but if you want to show off your kid, do a video of your kid. There is a time and place for every topic. This is your business, and people count on you for your knowledge and expertise.

    Hi Alisha, thanks for this video! I’m putting a temp tattoo on a mirror; I haven’t seen a video on it but it should be the same process I would think. My only question is, when you say you seal it with ‘polycrylic’, is that the same as ModPodge? I’m new to the ModPodge train as well as transfers and temp tattoos, so I don’t want tousle the wrong thing to seal it and risk ‘clouding’ the colors of the tattoo. Also I notice you have your polycrylic in a squeeze bottle which seems fast and easy to use. I’ve seen yeas and nays on doing this because it may not work with Mod Podge. What’s your take?

  • @ItsACraftThingAlishaVirgillo
    @ItsACraftThingAlishaVirgillo6 ай бұрын

    Hi! So polycrylic is a water based sealant and it's consistency is on the watery side. Mod podge although you can seal with it, you have a greater chance of leaving streaks from application because it's not self leveling. I prefer the polyacrylic over the mod podge for that reason.

    Adding blue tint to industrial clear plastics is pretty common, as it ages the blue is eventually overcome with the yellowing. It adds aging protection optically. When you sterilize plastic with radiation, you first lose the blue, gets more clear, then sometimes get a weird green or yellow. I'm not sure why blue works so well, probably because its opposite on the color wheel from yellow. People dont mind a blue tint, but yellow looks old and tired, so adding blue increases your shelf life of your product at least in peoples minds.
