These are beautiful! I'd just like to say thank you. I love listening to you. you get the info out there, you don't mess around with a bunch for talk that mean nothing to the tutorial. loved that your husband was being creepy, cracked me up. Thank you.
Aww! Thanks! I hope everyone finds my tutorials helpful! I love getting feedback and you seriously made me smile! đ„°
@@KristisCustomCreations Well I do't usually take the time to comment. But when I like something I say it. Also I feel people get too many negative notices to criticism and I am a huge firm believer in women supporting women and not knocking them down, help lift when up and support is usually a better method. Also I hope you get a commission cause I just put like 5 things from your list from amazon into my cart. LOL and I don't usually do that either.
@@amyaustin513 I greatly appreciate it and I completely agree, there needs to be more positivity and women supporting women! Amazon does give a commission for anything ordered through my links. You have completely made my day, I hope you have a wonderful evening!
The âcreepy husbandâ made me laugh too! I have a question, Kristi - why is everyone using this particular brand of pen? I'm just wondering if there are other brands that can be used also! Thank you!!!
Katie, we are using this brand of pen because the way they come apart and go back together works well for what we are doing. This brand of pen also writes really well and is refillable. I've seen a couple of people use other pens but I honestly don't know what kind they were or how easy they were to epoxy and glitter.
love seeing this be done with chunky glitter.. Now I feel more confident to try it instead of just fine glitter.
Thanks for watching and for commenting!!!!! đ„°
Same here!!!!
So jealous of how easy you just weeded that vinyl!!! I have been having the hardest time trying to weed small letters! I've tried all different pressures and I just can't get it right! These pens are so beautiful! I've got to try it now! Thanks for the videođ
Thanks for watching! I have the Silhouette Cameo 4. I have found that this machine cuts better than my older silhouette. Thanks for watching! I would love to hear how your pens turn out!
@@KristisCustomCreations of course! So excited to try. They are supposed to be arriving today. I use a Cricut. Never tried silhouette but watching you weed makes me want to tryđ€Łđ. Thanks again
đ„°đ„°đ„°
I have the worst time too.
@@kyoung7924 on cricut - try reverse weeding for the smaller letters
I'm so in love with your tutorials
Aww, thank you! đ„°
This was the best tutorial I've found for pens!
I'm so glad you found it helpful! đ„°
I really like tour tutorial! You are straight to the point and speed up on all the right parts!! Thank you for posting!!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching! đ„°
You are a great teacher đ
Thanks so much and thank you for watching!!!
Omg you have truly done a great job on this tutorial. I have been searching how to do this for a year on tik Tok and everyone is gate keeping the information. Thankyou so much for this video. I am trying this on 2 pens first so wish me luck. Definitely will keep you posted on how my first pens turn out. Thanks again for your help.
You're very welcome!!! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Oh and quick tip, I have a similar vinyl squeegee and I figured out those two little raised areas are perfect for holding the pen while you apply vinyl!
Good to know!!!!!!! Thank you for the tip! đ„°
Monica, So.. I just want to say I tried your tip about using the raised areas on the squeegee to hold my pens while I apply vinyl and I gotta say... YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! This was an amazing tip! Thank you!
đI just made that same comment lol
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I felt like I couldnât do these pens, it looked very tedious. You have given me inspiration to try this though. Thank you once again.
You are very welcome and I hope you found it helpful! Thank you so much for watching! đ„°
Amazing video!!!
Thank you! đ„°
Great tutorial and the pens are beautiful! Glad to find a good tutorial for refillable pens. Can't wait to try this!
Thank you!
This is one of the best tutorials thank you so much, i love the format! You got right to it and it was easy to follow along, accept my husband was at work so he couldn't stand around and watch LOL

Awesome tutorial; clear precise and easy to follow - two thumbs up! :)
Aww! Thank you! đ„°đ„°đ„° Thanks for watching and commenting!
â€love them
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! đ„°
I enjoyed your video. You were saying you could heat the clip part to get it to come off. You could also heat the blade. That may help cut through the plastic a little easier.
That's such a great tip!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!! đ„°
I used my heat knife on my pens today and worked like a charm :)
@@karolosteen3313 good to know!! Thanks!!
Mount a paper towel holder under your turner some where and hook your transfer tape to it for easy measuring
That's an awesome idea! Thanks for the tip! I usually sit at my desk when I do decals but for this video I did the decals at my tumbler work bench which made things a bit more difficult. But seriously... That's such a great idea and I'm def going to have to do that!
Your tutorial was perfect! I like the close-ups so that you can see what youâre doing and very well explained.
Aww, thank you so much! :)
Wow! Thank you for sharing your technique!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial, to the point, and easy to understand! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much!!! I hope you found it helpful! Thanks for commenting!! :)
Great tutorial, Love how you get straight to the point and added the size of name! But I donât know if I missed the size of cheetah prints I was wondering if you can tell me what size you used, yours came out perfect!
These are beautiful â€. My favorite tutorial so far!!!
Aww! Thank you so much! â€ïž
Iâm obsessed with your work and your calming nature. I canât wait to try this!!!
Awww! Thank you so much! đ„°
Hi iâm Sarah Just found your channel your tutorials are so informative and easy to follow i love that you give other tips as you go. Look forward to seeing more. â€ïž

Youâre amazing thank you for this video. Us fellow crafters appreciate it đ„°
You're very welcome! đ„° Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU KRISTI!! I had told my daughter about the vinyl before I watched this one!đ„đ„đ„đđđ
You're very welcome, thanks for watching! đ„°
I love your tutorial! But WOMAN you scared that living crap out of me with that knife!! My anxiety went way up! I use my Dremel tool for that part and the 2 little hearts on the back.
Lol! A dremel is a great idea.. I have changed it up how I cut off the nub since filming the video đ
Ohh thatâs a great idea!
Awww that's the cutest your husband watching his favorite lady.

He's a mess đ„°
Ohh wow these are beautiful I going to try make one xx
Thank you!!
Great tutorial
You can also find the 1/4 inch dowels at Dollar Tree! Just a tip :)
Good to know!! đ Thank you!!
Home Depot has them as well for cheaper than the dollar tree
@@2tier1776 good to know! Thanks! đ
Thank you for this video. Very informative and not too long!
You're very welcome and thank you for watching! It's much longer than my normal videos but I wanted to get all the necessary info in. đ„°
I would agree with RS Barrett. You made me so nervous as you made the cuts. My son teaches Industrial Technology and always tells his students to cut away from you for safety never towards yourself. But I also have to tell you that I love the details you give in your demonstrations. It's great that you give the size you cut the vinyl. I went back and watched your first video. Thank you for all your information. I am picking up some pens this weekend.
Thank you :) I hope you have a wonderful weekend and good luck with your first set of pens!
@@KristisCustomCreations Ha! Ha! I must say I was a little nervous, too, watching you cut towards you instead of away. I speak from experience, sadly. My husband bought me a pair of gloves which protect your hands in case you slip with the knife. I guess he could not stand the sight of blood đ
Ty. Now I want to make some for my Stone Frog hobby on my fb page !!! Can't wait
You did a great job adding all the details explaining the process and pro tips. Thank you for making the video!
Thank you so much And thank you for watching!!!
Woah, I just found your channel by random and fell in love with this video!

@@brandichaudoin9047 Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your informative info.
You're very welcome! â€ïž Thanks for watching!
Your area is so clean! đ
Thank you!
Thank you for the inspiration. Would love to know how you built your turners, do you have a video for that also?
Thank you for watching! I don't have a video on my turner setup but I am planning to make one soon đ
I was wondering how long you have to wait for these to cure before you can use them?? Do they need the same amount of time a cup would to completely cure seeing as how you're using epoxy? I'm just now getting into these pens........always a bit late to the party ...that's me!! .LOL! But these are so easy after watching your videos over and over. I've watched a few others but I like the way you teach this in your tutorial. I have watched your other videos too and have also subscribed. Thank you for sharing this. I can't wait to get started!
Aww! Thank you so much! đ„° Better late than never! đ You should always wait the recommended 72 hours to allow the epoxy to fully cure so that it isn't toxic.. same with the Tumblers. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the Facebook group. We have some really amazing Crafters in there who are awesome and super helpful! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! â€ïž facebook.com/groups/epoxytumblersandpens/?ref=share
Out of ALL the epoxy pen videos I watched, this one is the VERY BEST! Thank you. I tried them already and all but a few got stuck with the epoxy... :-( Super bummed... but I will try again because of this video. Thank you.
Aww! Thank you! đ„° I'm so glad you found my video helpful! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions!
@@KristisCustomCreations yes I loved everything! Yes I will.
Love your video. You make it so simple and no unnecessary blabbing.
Thank you!!! I definitely try to stick to the point. đ„°
The link for the turner inserts is sold out, just thought I'd let you know so you can post another one. :)
Thank you! đ„°
Hi, Thank you so much for your video. I'm just starting out so I'm not sure how much you would charge for a Glitter Pen. Could you help me out with a guide??
I currently charge $10 each for the pens.. if someone wants a very intricate design then I would charge more
Thank you, I just love your videos!!
Aww! Thank you so much! đ„°
You're awesome just read some comments and my question was answered.
Aww, thank you! Glad you were able to get your question answered and thank you for reading the comments! LOL
This was very informative, Thank you. Iâm going to try my hand at some pens tomorrow. I have the same work bench for my turners. Can I ask where your silicon mats are from?
I purchased my silicone mats on Amazon, there's actually a link to them in the description box. They came in a pack of 4.. they are seriously the best thing! They help catch glitter and keep things from getting too messy.
Can I ask where you got turners?
So I don't have a turner arm that would hold the pens. Can I do hang method or use all uv resin instead of regular epoxy?
I'm not sure how to hang method would work because with the pens spinning, and makes the epoxy super smooth. Also, I haven't tried UV resin. I don't think that UV resin is self-leveling, so I'm not sure if it would work. But if you do decide to try it with UV resin, please let me know how it works out.
These are BEAUTIFUL!! I donât work with epoxy or resin because it intimidates me and working with it, even with proper PPE, scares me because I already suffer with chronic health issues. These make me feel like I could actually do them though...or maybe itâs just because you make it look so easy đ I might have to give it a try just to see. Iâve heard itâs very addicting once you start doing things with it. Thanks for sharing!
They really are addicting! HAHA! I don't know much about Crystalac but its my understanding that it is much safer to handle and be around. May be something for you to look in to. :)
@@KristisCustomCreations thatâs exactly the one Iâve read to try. Thank you! Happy to be a new subscriber đ„°
Oh my goodness! I'm so glad to have found you :) A friend was telling me about the glitter pens, so, I came to youtube, typed it in search and POOF! there you are with such awesome videos on how to create these beauties AND I am glad you did this second video; first one I could barely hear you and speakers were at 100% :( This one was much easier to hear :) You do a FANTASTIC job in teaching us how to do this!!
Awww! Thank you! I'm glad you found me too! I'm slowly learning how to edit my videos so they will get better and better over time. đ Thank you for watching my videos! đ„°
Hi Kristi! I need your advice....What is a good price to sell these pens?
Hey there!!! I sell mine for $8 just plain glitter and $10 with personalization. The leopard pens are also $10 because they have vinyl on them. đ
Omg Iâm low balling myself... Iâve done mines I love them.... so pretty I used the same thing love those colors
@@whitfirstladyrobinson7864 general tip in selling anything. Take to cost to make and times it by 2.5 or aleast times it to where u can sell for 50% off and still make a profit.
Thank you so much Kristi for an amazing tutorial. The pens come out so beautifully!!!
@@ChellesBeads Thank you so much!
Hi, just curious. Do you have to spin them?? With so little epoxy on them canât you just hang to dry like on a tumbler with the glitter epoxy method.
These are beautiful by the way âșïžâșïž
Thank you! I think that if you did the hang method they probably wouldn't turn out as smooth. By spinning the pens, it lets the Epoxy spin around the cup as it dries, leaving a glass like surface.
Any suggestions on how to do this if we donât have the full setup with something that can continuously spin them ?
Iâm obsessed. Iâll never use a generic pen again! Lol
I know right! I love these pens!
Very good instructions!
Thank you đ„°
Love this! Do you have the dimensions you used for your name & leopard prints?
Measurements for the names are .5"x4" and for the leopard print it's 1.5"x2"
Kristi's Custom Creations what font did you use!!! Fantastic tutorial!!! Just subscribed!!
@@joygarrison450 thank you!! The font is called "I love glitter" from dafont.com đ
Kristi's Custom Creations Thank you!!!! I was trying to figure out how to do the hearts!! I have the font..... got the solid heart but not the swooping heartđ€Ł
@@joygarrison450 if you put this symbol " | " (it's like a straight line) then it will give you the hearts đ„°
Whatâs the size for the decals you did? Iâm learning.
The names are one half inch by 4 in and the leopard print is approximately 1.5 in by 2 in. You may have to adjust the size of the leopard print slightly though depending on how thick your epoxy / glitter is.
Great Video! Beautiful pens!
Thank you! đ„°
Thank you Hubby for sharing your beautiful wife with usđthanks for giving such wonderful instructions.â€
Where can I find the I love glitter font thank you â€ïž
Dafont.com đ
Thanksđ
Dafont.com.and how to get the hearts at the end I believe its shift with -, I love this font
Hi thanks for the video but I will say at the beginning when you're cutting things you need to cut away from you you scared me the whole time LOL
Lol, yeah I changed the way I'm cutting them now. đ
I thought it was just me! I was holding my breath during the entire craft knife section!
I learned the hard way. Iâm still healing 6 months later. I refer to my finger as the exacto finger.
Awesome to see you do them with chunky glitter! I was thinking it would get too thick with chunky. I love doing these!
The chunky is SO pretty on the pens!!!! just make sure to get the glitter as flat as possible before you epoxy over the chunky glitter.
I love watching you work! Awesome video and the pens are beautiful
Thank you so much! đ„°
Omg, I was a nervous wreck the whole time you were using that exacto. Please do it away from your skin on camera, for my anxieties sake. Lol
Yes, since filming the video, I've changed the way I cut đ
Awesome tutorial
Thank you! đ„°
Thank you! I love the idea about putting them on the foam insert. Great video thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome!!! Thanks for watching! đ„°
We use a hair tie rubber band to hold our pens on the foam. Easy to put on and take off.
Yes ma'am!!!! I actually started using rubber bands to hold them on right after I finished filming this video! đđ€ŠđŒââïž The rubber bands are a game changer! You are the one who commented that your 9 year old is making the pens now right?? I couldn't get the video to post last night so I had to delete it and start over so your comment was lost.
Where do you put the rubber band?
@@PamelaBueno-de3sg you can put rubber bands around the white Turner attachment to hold the wooden dowels in place instead of tape
@@KristisCustomCreations yes it was me! I woke up and came straight here to see your update đ
Aww! Awesome! That seriously made my night hearing that your son is making them now! Thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Loved itâŠ. Cannot wait until I feel comfortable to do my first oneâŠ.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Very informative and easy to follow! Also, thank you so much for showing how to put the pen back together because that was my biggest fear in these pens đ€Łđ€Ł

@@ladonnasturgeon8111 Well I would help you out with Cricut if I could but I use a Silhouette and have ZERO knowledge about Cricut unfortunately.
Thank you for a great tutorial and make it look easy, but it does also appear to take a lot of patience. Iâve never done tumblers or pins or anything like that. Iâm excited to get started. I also appreciate the fact that you put all of your supplies and where to get them in your comments. This helps immensely. Iâm looking forward to watching your future CZcams videos.

Fantastic video !!! We are about to start making cups and pens . To help save for college for my daughter. I can not thank you enough for all of your insight. But I think I missed the dimensions on the animal print . I guess I was just mesmerized by all that wonderful glitter . đ„°
Thank you so much for watching! You didn't miss it, I completely forgot to put it in there. The dimensions are approx 2"x1.5" but you may have to adjust that sightly depending on how thick your Epoxy/glitter is. I actually have the file up in my awesome Facebook group for everyone to use. It can be found in the Announcement section and the moderator Susie uploaded it for me. đ„° Here's the link to the Facebook group, hope you see you there! facebook.com/groups/epoxytumblersandpens/?ref=share
