How to Add Book Pages to your Tumbler
Today we have a new and improved book. Page tumbler is actually a three way split, and I'm going to show you exactly how to make it.
The first thing I want to say that I am using CrystaLac products to apply my book pages, whether you use the CrystaLac products for the entirety of the tumbler, or you're going to apply your book pages with it and then move onto your resin. That is totally and completely fine.
I knew I wanted to make an updated Harry Potter themed tumbler, but not like super Harry Potter. Just something that would be meaningful to myself.
