ROSE GOLD MARBLE EPOXY TUMBLER TUTORIAL!

https://youtu.be/WcPSN7HXt4s

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Callie, and I'm the creator of glazed epoxy, and in today's video, I am trying to figure out what's happening. I thought it was tangled, but it's not in today's video. So I'm going to show you guys this uh black and rose gold marble tumbler; I wanted to do black with rose gold. I thought it was pretty, and I put my name on it. This is the first cup I put my name on, and I will show you all about what I did to get this look, and this is for my water bottle, I've told you guys.

I need a straw to drink water. I will not drink out of it if it's not a straw. I don't know why and it's easy to take with me when fully enclosed. It's not like a straw, like a lid with the straw in it. I need something that will not spill because I have kids and my another water bottle, the hidden gems that I had that will not fit in my car cupholder, getting annoyed having it sit on the floor of my car. I wanted one that would work. I could have it in the car with me. That's what I did. I am obsessed with it I haven't started using it yet. Now that I'm doing my video, I can start using it. I love it if you guys want to know how I did this. So let's get into the video.

Hey guys, I have my water bottle. I prepped it with the final sand, spray painted it the flat black from rust oleum, and went on with my epoxy. This is the artistry of epoxy. It's the fast set, do a layer of clear epoxy and ensure you have a little left over to put your mica powder in.

Once I have that coated with the clear, I add the rose gold mica powder, which is pretty. This is from artistry epoxy, and any metallic will work for this. When I'm doing a metallic marble, I want to put it in Clear. In contrast, for my white marble, if I'm doing the white and gray marble, I like to add the gray directly into the white epoxy, but when you're going on top of a dark color with metallic, I prefer doing it this way. I am taking the tiny stir stick, doing little veins throughout and connecting them, and doing random squiggly lines. Try to make it look accidental, and remember the bottom. Then, I added a bit in the blank areas, which I will blend later. It's not veining.

Then using the little heat gun thing, forget embossing. I think it's an embossing gun to move it around, and what happens with metallic mica when you use to heat and move it drives in this excellent way where the metallic floats to the top, and I love that effect if you're using any metallic mica make sure you put some heat on it use a heat gun or this embossing gun and move it. You'll see that effect. It's beautiful and one of my favorite things to do. Still, you keep moving it around. Be careful. You don't want to overheat it because it starts running. It does begin to run a little bit. You'll see it in a minute. Still, I'll show you at the end of this video; I'll show you a gold, regular gold, and black tumbler I did where it's more veining. You'll see the difference but keep moving around, and if you need to take a break in between and let it cool off a little bit and then go back in, you can do that. Do not overheat it because then it turns Into a muddy mess.

Then I am all spraying it with alcohol, and you can see it breaks up that color and gives it a more natural, realistic marble effect it's it looks fantastic. I spray it a couple of times because when it's spinning, it makes it melt back together but do you see how it floats like that and gives it this stunning effect? Any metallic mica powder will provide you with that effect.

So it's pretty spraying alcohol a couple more times, and that's what it's looking like, and then I went ahead and tapped out a couple of areas where it was getting a little runny, and I didn't like how it was looking. So you can continuously tap and blend it to ensure you're happy with it.

On the next day, I went in and cut out my name, which was the first cup I put my name on. This font is called medina modern or something like that, and I got it on an app. So that's why I love this font for cups. It's like a dainty, really thin. Peeling that off, this is like rose gold vinyl. You could do whatever color, but I wanted it to look. I didn't want my name to stand out too much; I wanted it to blend in with the rose gold Marbling.

I'm using my trusty tape to transfer the decal onto my cup, and I went and bought two scraper things to the Cricut scraper tools because I had one. I lost it, and using a scraper makes such a difference. If that is what it's called, I don't know. Still, ever since I started using that, it made such a difference in my decals going to place that on my cup and the satisfying peel except for that part. I did two more layers of the epoxy to seal that in doing the typical thing lay the epoxy on, wait a few minutes, torch it, and then the next day it was done.

I took the tape off. I didn't show myself taping this in the beginning, but all my, like the ones with the smaller lids like this, I tape off before I spray paint Me, and I cannot get enough. I love it much and here's the black and the plain gold one I did it is a big water bottle, but you can see it's a little finer veining and that is it for this video thank you much for watching see you in the next one bye.
