In this detailed tutorial, we will guide you through the creation of a stunning epoxy tumbler featuring the character Chilli from the popular TV series Bluey. This DIY project will walk you through each step, from gathering the necessary materials to the final product. Here's a breakdown of the process

Base Painting Start with a plain stainless steel tumbler, and apply a base layer of orange acrylic paint.
Glitter Application After the paint dries, use mod podge to coat the tumbler and generously sprinkle fine orange glitter. Collect excess glitter by working over a sheet of paper.
UV Resin Sealing Once the mod podge dries, seal in the glitter with a layer of UV resin. You can also use 2-part resin, but UV resin is preferred for its quick curing. Remove bubbles with a lighter and cure the resin under a UV lamp.
Smoothing and Preparing After curing, use sandpaper to buff out small bumps caused by the glitter. Wipe away the dust with rubbing alcohol. This step creates a super smooth finish.
Vinyl Decals Create the Chilli character decal using an image found on Pinterest, and convert it into a layered SVG using pngtosvg.com. Use a font called Hello Headline for the "Mum!" decal. Upload all files to Cricut Design Space and cut each layer in respective vinyl colors.
Layering Decals Use the parchment paper technique to layer vinyl, ensuring proper alignment, and then apply the vinyl decals to the tumbler using the hinge technique for accurate placement.
Resin Coating Apply two more layers of resin to seal the decals and give the tumbler a glossy, durable finish.
Care and Maintenance It is recommended to handwash tumblers like this, especially if the top coat does not explicitly state that it is dishwasher safe. Testing with a less valuable item is advisable before using a dishwasher.

Create a unique and personalized tumbler following these steps and enjoy the beautiful result. If you found this tutorial helpful, consider subscribing to the creator's channel for more exciting DIY projects.
