  2. Apply more Mod Podge to the next area and repeat applying the glitter and letting it dry.
  3. Once you have applied all of the glitter, then use the acrylic sealer and coat the tumbler. Let it dry.
  4. Place the tumbler onto the We R’ turner.
  5. Make sure the tumbler is level before starting the rotation.

JOANN HACKS:
  • Use your heat gun to heat up Bottle A as you are pouring the two together into one cup. Stir with a metal stir stick (preferred) or wooden stick. Mix for three minutes and let it sit for 1 minute before applying.
