For this DIY Christmas presents post we’re featuring a metal tray, but you could easily modify this craft for a sign if you’d rather make that.

Place your adhesive-backed stencils on your tray where ever you would like your designs to be. Press and smooth around all edges for a firm hold.

In a plastic cup, mix equal parts of Stick & Restick and water using a craft stick. Brush this mixture over the stencil openings.

Sprinkle your desired glitter colors over the glue mixture and stencils. You can use one color or multiple colors like Craft Box Girls. Use your finger to gently press the glitter in place over the stencil openings.

Remove the stencil and shake off excess glitter. Then cut ribbons and trims to fit around the border of the tray. Glue in place using Original Tacky Glue.

Cut additional strands of ribbon and glue in place on the tray to enhance your DIY Christmas present. Glue a loop of ribbon to the backside as a hanger if you intend for the tray to be hung on display. Let everything dry completely. 

For the glitter tumbler, we’ll be using the Tack-It Method to help hold all of that glittery goodness in place! Make sure your tumbler is clean and free from dust and prints, then tape the inside to protect from spray paint. Working in a well-ventilated area, spray paint your tumbler then let it dry completely.

Once your tumbler is dry, mix a 1:1 ratio of Tack-It Over & Over and water in a plastic cup. Place the tumbler on a tumbler spinner and brush a coat of the Tack-It/water mixture onto the tumbler. Let it dry so it forms a tacky texture.

Turn the tumbler spinner on and sprinkle glitter evenly over the tumbler. You can choose one color or multiple colors like Craft Box Girls. Use your fingers to press and smooth the glitter into the tacky surface on the tumbler. This is the magic of the Tack-It Method!

Mix your epoxy according to instructions, wearing a mask and gloves for extra caution. Once your epoxy is ready, turn on your tumbler spinner so it spins slowly, then pour and spread the epoxy over the tumbler. You can use your gloved fingers to help smooth the epoxy, covering the entire tumbler and the bottom of the tumbler. If you notice any bubbles forming, you can glide a heat source like a heat gun over it to help smooth the bubbles in the epoxy. Let the tumbler spin for 8 to 12 hours while the epoxy cures.

If you’ll be adding a decal to this DIY Christmas present, wait until the first coat of epoxy has cured. Then apply the vinyl decal where you’d like on the tumbler, and apply one final coat of epoxy. Let the tumbler spin until the epoxy has completely cured.

These DIY Christmas presents will shine with holiday spirit and bring lots of smiles to the special people on your gift list. You can pair them with baked goods, cocoa and other treats for the ultimate DIY Christmas present.
