Crafting Month Free Bundle: Holiday Special Gradient Bundle

For this project, the Moonlight Sky Gradient Glitter Designs set was used.

Prepare all your supplies needed to create this project.
Download the free Holiday Special Gradient Bundle from Creative Fabrica and select the Moonlight Sky Gradient Glitter Designs set (or any other design or your choice).
Make sure you size and print your design to fit your tumbler (a 16 Oz sublimation snow globe tumbler was used in this project.)
Align your printed design on the tumbler and tape it together with conductive tape, ensuring that it stays in place.
Use your tumbler heat press machine to press it for 120 seconds at 360°, and then repeat one more time. Let it cool for a few minutes
Create a tape border around the bottom of the tumbler to keep the glitter from spilling over. You can use a pen to help spread the glitter around.
After getting all the glitter in, it’s time to create a water-glycerin mixture. It should be about 75% glycerin and 25% water.
Use the dental syringe to carefully add the mixture into the tumbler.
After filling to the top, wipe it down to make sure it’s clean and then apply the rubber stopper into the hole at the bottom of the tumbler.
You can cover the rubber stopper with a UV resin and let it sit in sunshine (you can also use a UV light to do this).
Your glitter tumbler is now finished!
