Courtney Kustoms

For one, there's a new Courtney's Customs bundle and let me show If y'all are a part of my Facebook group then you saw me announce this probably I told y'all in the last video that I'm on a pastel kick. These are not any of the same colors that I used in that Aztec print video. These are all completely different colors but they are still very beautiful and pastel. I am going to have a list of every name of the color because you can buy most of the colors separately except for this is a Courtney's Customs exclusive that you will only get in this bundle but every other color can be purchased separately if you want So I'm super excited because I am using y'all the most gorgeous vinyl. Oh my gosh, I t I get that confused but cheetah leopard print whatever. But it's a holograp So you put it on a t So I am combining two the Courtney's Customs bundle glitter and my new vinyl to create this t I'm super excited so let's get started. So I'm working with a 20 ounce skinny straight and I base painted it flat white from Rust-Ole So what I did over here was I mixed up some tacky glue and water just The Mod Podge is going to dry up way too quickly and I don't So the tacky glue and water method is perfect. So now I am just going to cover the entire t And t I do take the tacky glue w And I mix it with a little bit of water, I would say probably And I make it about the consistency of Mod Podge so I can spread it easy because it is So I water it down so I can spread it and it works perfectly. I just have a much longer working time. So now I'm just going to take all of these glitters in no particular order and sprinkle some here and there all over the t Add two coats of epoxy and then I'll come back to show y'all how gorgeous t Okay so there's two coats of epoxy over this and the color is so hard to see on camera but in person it is such a beautiful So I'm going to give it a quick sanding and sorry for this cord right here it's driving me nuts that it's in film but it'so t So t Now I'm just taking some 91% rubbing alcohol on a paper towel and wiping it clean because it does get a little dusty when you sand it so I'm just getting that nice and clean. So now for the super fun part we are going to apply t I do have more of this coming so keep an eye out for that but we are just going to wrap it around and this is roughly a 12 by 12 sheet so clearly it'so I have this little paper cutter here that I got from Amazon and I am just kind of I'm going to give myself a little bit of wiggle room now. This is how I So that might not be enough but So now it's time to cut at t So I was able to mark when I make it a little bit darker so I can see right there. So that's where I am going to cut. I'm actually going to not cut it quite so right there. I'm going to still give myself some wiggle room. I get nervous when I cut t I'm going to start one side and peel back a couple inches or so and fold it. And now I'm going to cut off that couple inches that I folded up. So now I'm left with about a couple inches with no backing on it. So now I'm going to lay my trying to make sure I stay in frame for y'all. And I'm going to take t Lay that down. Make sure there's no wrinkles or bubbles or anyt And then take the rest, wrap it around, make sure it looks good. W And now I am just going to start slowly working this all around the t And you can use, I tried using a squeegee to kind of So I just Push a little bit, flatten it all out, push a little bit, flatten it all out. And keep doing this all around the t Look up pretty! Okay, so now I'm going to go around with a pair of scissors and just trim up the top. And t And when I have it done, I'm going to take it outside so But it's really super pretty. So now the only t So it's the next day. There's one coat of epoxy over t I am going to put more, but I t So let me take you outside so I can show you It is so beautiful, so subtle. I absolutely love t And let me show you a couple more t So they're obviously not finished. They need standard with some more epoxy. But here is that same vinyl that I put over a blush base from Pop of Color. And then I put that same vinyl over a black base and I used Courtney's Customs vinyl. It's kind of hard to see in the camera, but it says, no your worth, then add tax. I love it. So these aren't finished, but just to give you an idea of And I'm obsessed with it. So I posted a TikTok and it went So I'm going to be getting some more in probably within So about a couple of weeks. So I'm very excited to do a restock of t And add some new styles as well that I am so excited to show Before I go, And today's quote is, you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. That was said by May West. That is all I have for y'all today. I really hope you enjoyed the tutorial. I hope you love the vinyl. I'm so obsessed with it. I just want to put it on everyt So if y'all have any questions, Be kind, love one another, and I'll see you in the next one. Bye!
