Hey guys, it is Christmas. Merry Christmas, you guys. I hope you have the best, most beautiful day with your friends and family. Today's tutorial is on this little cup here. It's got some rhinestones on it. An ornament inspired this. I will put up a photo of them; it was on Tiktok that I saw, and these ornaments are beautiful, and I was so inspired to make this cup. I felt this was not your typical red and green Christmas, but there's something unique and magical about this that I thought had to be Christmas day's tutorial.

Thank you for watching these tutorials and supporting this channel. It's been fun and inspiring to make all these Christmas cups, and I'm excited for next year, but without your guys' support, this wouldn't be possible. I love it, and I love you guys. This video concludes my 12 Days of Christmas and merry Christmas. Let's get into the tutorial.

I was starting with this little cup. I got this at a grocery store, but it is a little cup. I love that the thicker lid removed the cover and packaging and prepped it with mattify. Now I'm going to take some paints and mix these colors. I'm going to take teal time, some raindrops, some white, and I mixed that up. I was going for a similar color to what I saw in that ornament.

I added some forget-me knot mix to my cup. We will do a second coat since we're not doing full-coverage glitter on top. Next, I did my first layer of epoxy—the artistry of the fast one-to-one set. I cut out this snowflake design in silver and gold vinyl and then in my shape tape, weeding those out. It took a really long time to weed them, of course. I always pick things that take a long time.

I'm weeding my shape tape. I'm peeling off the top layer and the sticky layer from around the snowflake. We'll stack the silver and gold snowflakes together, the gold peeking through the edges a little bit. I went ahead and put that on my cup. I peeled off the shape tape snowflake. I originally was going only to weed it out like the vinyl, so I decided to leave those inset pieces. If I were to do this again, I would cut it out on different settings first for the inner designs, and I would do a second cut to cut around the Edge. It worked out, but it made it a little tricky and more Fragile at first. I'm removing the centerpieces, and we will do a gold glitter on those. But I believe this glitter is jungle Sun.

I decided to peel off the outer part first and work on the smaller inner ones because it was giving me, it was giving me problems with these little tiny inside pieces. I'm going in with spur of the moment. It's a gorgeous silver, and this is a small cut. I like to rub it in when I'm using shape tape and make sure the glitter is stuck to all the shape tapes. I'm doing all those tiny pieces, and because they were all cut out, the sticky part was cut as well. I had a couple of problems where the sticky function slid away with the top. It did take a little patience and time.

I ended up working it out, but as I said, I would not cut this some of the ways had I known what I was doing. So that's what it looks like. I took some shape tape and missed a couple of little straight strips. So I took that and peeled off the Backing, and we're going to do a straight line around the cup where it Curves in. Still, shape tape is something that there are many different ways to use it, many other techniques you could do or methods of cutting out things and layering things and but I have many ideas. I can't wait to like act them putting that second there right below the first one.

I am peeling off the bottom one and doing the silver glitter spur of the Moment, the top one going in with jungle Sun. I did seal that, and we're going on with it. I did two more layers of epoxy. It was dry. We're going to do some rhinestones. I am using this liquid Fusion glue and these beautiful rhinestones. They're like clear with an iridescent on top, which we may or may not have coming soon to the shop using a little stick to apply the glue. First, I went around all the sides like those big sides, whatever you call them, of the snowflake. The actual ornaments look like a lot of jewels on the whole thing, the entire front thing.

I wanted to get that feel, and adding these rhinestones would give me that look. I didn't want to do gold or silver rhinestones. These cut this color where it's clear with the iridescent I feel it is perfect for exactly what I wanted jeweled look without actually being jewels and an easy way to add some of these as a pop where you're not doing like full coverage or anything these are effortless this was my first time applying them to anything. It's much easier than I thought it would be my tool that I'm using isn't the greatest it's; I got it at Michael's or Hobby Lobby, but if you want to try rhinestones. If you still need to do it, try it; even if you're adding a little bit of Sparkle to something, it's easy, and I love its look.

I kept going back in and adding another layer of rhinestones, dotting where I wanted them and adding them in until I got to the center, and it was hard to see where the lines were inside; that's why I picked it up, and now it's moving around. It's a lot harder to see, but you get the point. I'm putting a DOT of glue and a rhinestone.

I love how it finished off this cup. It was the perfect addition to give me the look that I wanted. I removed the foam put the lid back on, and this cup was done. And it turned out beautiful I am in love with the color and the overall look. It feels memorable and magical, like that Christmassy blue-like wintry Christmasy blue. I don't know. That's it for this video, guys. Thank you much for watching my 12 Days of Christmas, and I will see you guys at the next one. Bye.
