PEACH PALM PEEK-A-BOO TUMBLER TUTORIAL!

https://youtu.be/uYTeTUqmVxQ

Hey, guys, I had another request to do another can cooler. The last one was fun, and it was actually for my sister-in-law melissa. She sent me an inspirational photo. And took the lid off, prepped it with the final sand, sprayed it with rust-oleum metallic gold, and spread it evenly on the cup.

I was taking this beautiful gold chunky mix, doing full coverage on the whole cup with this, and using another color from my upcoming collection. This is a goldy orange, and it's a minor cut. However, I wanted this gold underneath to look warm and more toned. So I sprinkled this on the whole thing.

The next step is adding a layer of epoxy using the artisan facet again, pouring it on, and smoothing it all over. Make sure when you're doing chunky glitter, you're spending time between all those little glitter pieces everywhere because there are lots of little nooks and crannies to get into. Make sure it is entirely smooth. I cut out some little tropical palm leaves on my silhouette. I'm not sure what this style of the leaf was, but cutting those out in white or it doesn't matter what color since we're going to peel them off, but I used white.

Then placing my palm leaf on the cup, and I quickly realized it was better to go from the bottom end. So then, I placed them on alternating sides from the top or the bottom, and I made sure to leave room for her name in the middle. I took these three acrylic paints and mixed them to make this pretty, kind of peachy neony color because I didn't have a spray paint that looked like this. I added some opal mica powder to it to give it a shimmer.

I'm not sure if it did anything, but I thought I would try it out using this sponge applicator, putting that all over the cup. My paints were old because they got chunky. Still, if you had newer paints, it would be a lot nicer, or if you had a spray paint color, spray paint is way better than acrylic for this, and I did end up doing a second coat after this dried because it did look a little bit patchy and a second coat helped.

Something is satisfying about peeling these off and seeing the glitter peek through, and it was giving me a hard time. I did grab some tweezers, which worked a lot better, and this part took some time, but because it was satisfying, I didn't mind another layer of the fast set.

Then time to do the name decal, and I was using this kind of holographic peachy color, and she wanted me to do missy. I thought it was adorable. That's her nickname. I did it at an angle to go with the way the leaves were pointing, and I did one final layer of epoxy, and this layer, I did the original artisan formula. I use that as the last layer. Sometimes it gives a high gloss look. I don't know how else to explain it, but it is pretty.

Then, the next day, I took it off the turner and did this beautiful cup. I am obsessed with this color combo with the gray lid, the peach color, and glitter peeking through underneath. Thank you, guys, for watching. I will see you guys at the next one.
