Painting "Stanley style" Cups today!

In this live Facebook/YouTube session, Christie Renee Hawkins of The Social Easel demonstrates how to hand‑paint Stanley‑style tumblers using DecoArt craft acrylics and a numbered brush set. She walks viewers through color selection, mixing, brush techniques, and optional Posca pen details, while explaining the differences between craft acrylics and thicker bodied acrylics. Christie discusses various sealant options—including Decoupage/Mod Podge (matte, satin, gloss), DuraClear high‑gloss varnish, and acrylic spray—along with care instructions such as hand‑washing only and why dishwashers should be avoided. The video also highlights a recent Tribe contest celebrating the brand’s 5th birthday, announcing the five winners (Anja, Dawn, Christie, Mary Lou, and Lisa) who will receive hand‑painted cups. Christie promotes an upcoming free week‑long “Summer Vibes” painting workshop (Sunday‑Friday) featuring daily themes (tropical flowers, vibrant palms, abstract dragonfly), provides registration links, and explains the new livestream platform (StreamYard/Livestream) and email reminders. Throughout, she engages with viewers, answering questions about prep, sealants, color choices, product availability, and troubleshooting, while also showcasing store‑available cups in various colors. The session ends with a preview of future live streams and a reminder to sign up for the workshop.
Chapters
Hey everybody, it's Christie Renee Hawkins with The Social Easel, and I am going live today to start painting one of our Stanley-like cups. So, um, if you don't know what these are, the name brand of the cup styled like this is called Stanley, but we have the knockoff kind. So anyways, these, um, Stacy carries these. They're in our store now. So if you fun watching me today do this and you want to do one of your own, we do have them available in the store. That link is also in the description up above of this Facebook Live. So I'm going to be painting one of these today. We have them in a bunch of different colors, um, just to kind of show you. So the reason I'm doing this is because we just did a contest inside of my tribe Here's a pink one, and I think we have, um, gray. So, um, and there's more colors in the store, right, other than these? Okay. Um, so when you go to that link, you'll see the colors that we have available. Um, but we just did a contest in my tribe for, um, our 5th birthday celebration, and we did birthday cake designs, like painting birthday cakes, um, in April. And for the contest, Tribe Sisters were challenged to paint their own birthday cake inspired by the paintings that are inside the Tribe. And we had, um, so many amazing entries, but I picked 5 winners out of those Tribe Sisters, and each one of them is getting a hand-painted cup by me. So we thought it would be fun for me to do it live with you so you can see how I do it. And then we'll talk about different sealants that you can use to protect it too. So just a couple quick notes on what I'm using. I'm just going to use regular craft acrylic, so DecoArt, whatever craft acrylic you have. You could also use some of the thicker thicker, thicker bodied acrylic as well if you want to. So either one of them is fine. The craft acrylic is thinner, so it's not going to leave as much texture behind on your cup. So if you want like a nice smooth surface, you probably want to go with craft acrylic. And then as far as finishes to protect the cups, I don't know if we'll get to it on the live today because the paint has to be all the way dry, but I'll just go ahead and share with you what your options are. So you can choose either you can do like a decoupage, again, whatever finish you want. This one is in matte, so if you just want it to look similar to what it looks like now, which is kind of like a satin, you could go with that. I do think they actually have a satin finish as well. If you want like a high gloss look on the cup. This is one of my favorite high gloss sealers and protectants. So you could do this, or I don't have it here with me, you could just do an acrylic spray. So any of those will help protect the hand-painted cup from scratching and all that kind of stuff. And then of course they're going to be hand wash only, so You would not want to put these in, um, the dishwasher because that's just going to be too much for them and it will knock some of the paint off and damage it. So that's what we're doing today, and I'll flip the camera around here in just a minute and show you guys kind of a bird's eye view of what we're doing. But before I get started on that, I want to make sure that you know all about the workshop that starts on Sunday at 6. So I am doing my biggest free painting workshop I have ever done in the 5 years of being online, and I'm really excited about it. It's all about the bright colors. It's called Summer Vibes. If you haven't signed up for it yet, the link is in the description, and it gives you your full color list. It gives you all the templates for the paintings I'm getting ready to show you. and it gives you the full week's agenda. So the party starts on Sunday at 6 Central Standard Time, and then we go through Friday. So from Sunday to Friday, we're going to be painting and hanging out, and we're going to be opening doors to Tribe, which is my VIP membership. So we haven't opened doors since last fall, so we're excited to welcome new members, and this is kind of our celebration of that. So this is what we are starting with. This is going to be the Tropical Flowers, is going to be on Sunday at 6. So this one is going to be all about blending. So when I designed these, I kind of did them as a series, and each one I wanted to teach you some different skills in there. So this one is going to be all about blending. And adding fine little detail in there. And then the next one, this is my favorite. So I think I'm actually going to paint this as a mural downstairs, um, because I'm obsessed with it. And even though I live in the middle of the United States near no beach, I'm going to paint some palm trees on my wall. So night 2, we're gonna learn the vibrant palms. And I don't know if the color is picking up on there, but this is like some fun neon colored paint on here. So completely different style, bold brush strokes, not blending. Um, and then the final one, I did this one in my mixed media pad, but when we do it as a class, I'll actually be painting it on a canvas as well. This is my abstract Dragonfly. And this one's so fun, it's got some metallic paint on it. We did some paint pens and just a little bit more, um, detail work. So those are the 3 different paintings that we're doing. When you sign up, um, you will get all that information— your templates, your supply list, and the agenda for the week. And we are doing something else we haven't ever done before, and we are going to livestream it with StreamYard, which is how I am with you guys today. That's what I always use when I go live. But they have a new service called Livestream, and it allows us to all be in one place without distraction, without confusion of like refreshing the Facebook page and I can't find you. You guys know what I'm talking about because it happens all the time, right? So I'm really, really excited about it. We've had over 6,000 women sign up for this. So this is why we wanted to make sure and put it on a platform that was going to be easy for everyone. So we are sending those links via email, so you want to make sure that you're on our email list, that you sign up for your color list, and check your junk mail if you don't see it, because that's how we're going to be sending you the links. That's picking up over here. Um, and then, um, So yeah, each day we will send you a new link to that live stream, and then if you can't make the times, then we'll have replays available through the end of May. So I know 6,000 ladies is crazy, um, but it's free, so sign up. It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm going to go ahead and flip the camera around so you guys can see the cup, and we're gonna start painting. Some flowers on here. So I'm just going to flip you over, and then I'll have to rotate the camera, so bear with me just a minute. Maybe go a little bit higher so you guys can see. So let me know in the comments what you think about the new paintings, if you like the bold, bright colors and style. I'm anxious to get your guys's feedback on that. And while you're doing that, I'm going to start prepping my palette and getting some of my paint colors on here. I just went to, um, Hobby Lobby yesterday, and I always go to their DecoArt section and check out the new colors. This one was new. This one's called Electric Pink. It's super pretty and bright, so I had to get that. Um, this one's not new, but I love this one. This one's Sour Apple. Also, I don't know if you guys knew, but, um, when I went yesterday, I noticed all the DecoArt paint was marked down to 99 cents. And it used to always be $1.29. And, um, the lady at the register when I checked out told me they reduced the prices, so they no longer do the— like, you know how some weeks they— what was it, 40% off? Is that how much it was on those two? Anyways, they no longer do the— like, you know, it was like every other week they'd put them on sale. They don't do that anymore, and they just changed the price instead. But I think 99 cents is a great deal for these paints too. So I'm going to show you— scoot my palette over just a little bit so you can kind of see the colors. Awesome. I'm glad you guys like the colors and the style. I think I want to— I've been painting on small canvases. I forget to bring my new painting, um, which is really fun. One, just to have small, like, shelf sitter paintings, but I also like to use it as like my practice. And then once I do a small one, then I'm like deciding if I want to do really big too, because I got a lot of wall space here that needs to be covered with paintings. And we have a new lake house that we're going to be renting out that I'm going to be doing some art pieces for. So, um, that's going to be a lot of what we're doing inside Tribe over the next few months too, so I'm excited for some of those new pieces. But they're fun to do them small and then go bigger. What other color should I do? Maybe a purple. Oh yeah, that one's pretty. Stacy's here with me hanging out. She wants to see me paint the cup too. We may add some other colors as we go. What else? I may do— that might be too close. I was going to do kind of a minty color. Yeah, let me see that one. Oh yeah, Peacock Teal. That's a good darker one. Brenda said Jamaica agreed with you. Yeah, so I love, um, I love painting tropicals. I don't— I joke about it all the time. I have no idea why I live in the middle of the United States, because I'm meant to be at the beach all the time, but I can't, so I just paint it. Well, that's true, I can't. Debbie said, I'm going to pull this up here. Do you think participants will be able to complete their paintings during the streams next week? So it is possible, Debbie. When, if you, if you haven't painted with me before, a lot of times I recommend to just kind of hang out and watch me so that you're not stressed or like trying to keep up with my speed. Speed. However, I purposely chose to do these on smaller canvases for this workshop. So my originals were on a 10 by 10, these are 8 by 8, these smaller canvases. Um, so they shouldn't take very long. So even if you're not like following up with, um, like the time pace of each step with me, I really think you should be able to finish them. Um, like that evening or the next day. And then we have some breaks in between, so you have like catch-up days, so they're not all back-to-back, um, classes too. So hopefully that helps answer your question. Cheryl said you could always move— we're, uh, move to the beach. Yeah, we have all our family here that would probably disown us if we moved that far away, so we'll just vacation there for now. So I'm gonna start this one. I think I want one more pink. I love all the different pinks. I also put a red on my palette because red's gonna look really good with this. Um, and I have— I'll just kind of show you what I've got here. Um, and these— the yellow with the pinks and the yellow with the red— I can make like a pretty orange or coral color as well. Um, Sherry said, is that black or navy? That is black, but you actually just gave me a really good idea. A navy would be good. Just hand me that Ultra. Yeah, this one is Ultra Blue Deep. I love this color. And we may not use all of these, but I've got a lot of cups to paint, so whatever I did— this one's mine, so I can mess up on this one and get all my, all my kinks worked out before I paint the ones for the winning tribe sisters. Thank you, Debbie. Glad you are liking the paintbrushes. Um, so I am using my paintbrush set today that you can get in the store. They're numbered. These are acrylic. Um, I designed this set because these are the brushes that I use the most. So I'm going to start with my bigger round, which is my number 5. I'm really dying to see what this really bright color looks like. So I think I'm just going to start with some of my messy little flowers that I like to do. Pick up a little bit of white with that, and I plan on adding if I can get them dry in time, I plan on adding some Posca pen marks on here too. So this is going to be— they're not going to be quite like this because this was with palette knife, but I'm going to just do some fun little Christie flowers on here. Um, Denise is asking about the Summer Vibes video in the vault. So it won't go in the vault Um, Denise, it'll go separate, um, in the library since it's a public one. Let's test this. Oh, that color is pretty. That one was Fuchsia Pop, that darker pink. And I still have some of that lighter one in my brush too, so I'll probably— you can kind of see the cup showing through there. Um, I kind of like a little bit of it showing through, but I may come back with another coat too. We're just gonna experiment here. So whenever I'm doing these flowers, they're not perfect circles. So you can see that they kind of have some curves around the edges of them. Um, yes, these are, uh, Dina, these are regular just craft acrylics, not the multi-purpose. Um, Christina asked, do you prep the cup before? No, there is no need to prep anything. You can just paint directly on it. And just know, whenever I get quiet, just means I'm thinking, thinking about what I want to do next. This will be really cute, um, either just decorated, um, you know, painted all the way around, but it'd also be really cute to do some hand lettering on there as well. Let me know in the comments too if you are a Tribe Sister and if you are one of the winners that is going to get one of these cups. Um, I do want to— I'm going to brag on them really quick. Hang on, let me pull this up. I think I can show you guys. I'm going to let this sit here and dry for a second before we move on. So while I do that, I'm going to show you the Tribe Sisters who are getting the hand-painted cups from me and what they did in order to be a winner. Okay, you guys can see this, um, this is inside our Tribe Sister Facebook group. So our winners, really quick, the 5 Tribe sisters who won are Anja, Dawn, Christie Renee Hawkins, Mary Lou, and Lisa. And they took my idea and like I showed everyone how to sketch some different cake designs, and then they designed their own inspired from the paintings inside of Tribe. And you're going to get to see their finished pieces here. It's the video that Megan— Megan made. So I just wanted to share that really quick because I just thought they were so cute and so original. It was so hard to pick the winners though because, um, the Tribe Sisters just really knocked that challenge out of the park. There were so many fun designs in there. I kind of like this as like a focal point on one side, don't you think? Maybe do some more flowers down here. Does it seem like it's taking a long time to dry? Uh, not really. I mean, where I have it a little bit thicker, but I can also blow dry it if I need to. So I'm taking a little bit of that teal and adding it into the leaves. I thought that might be pretty. And then I think I'm going to add some little white dots, kind of like baby's breath, around it too. Or do I want navy? Kind of want to add some little— we'll do a mix. So we've got some contrast on here. Hey, Lisa! I'm so glad you're excited. All right, Lisa is one of our winners, so she's on here with us. Lisa, let me know, um, what you want on yours. Do you want— do you like pink? What, what color flowers do you want? Um, and I don't know if you saw the cups earlier, but you can even let me know if you prefer like a pink mug or gray or black. What was the other color? Oh, it's like a purpley. I'm trying to decide, what do you guys think? Do you like the look of A little bit of the cup showing through, or do you think it would look better with another coat of paint on it? What do you think? I think it's showing through. It kind of just adds, um, yeah, and a little bit of like dimension in it. They're voting another coat. We'll test it and see. Awesome! Melanie said she got a new cup for Mother's Day. She's so excited to decorate it. Tony likes the turquoise coming through. Marcy said it looks like watercolor with the cup shining through, looks kind of cool. Um, yes, so, um, Claudine and Jill, you guys are asking about sealing it. I mentioned it at the beginning of the video, but there's a couple different sealers that you can use. You can use DecoPodge. In whatever finish you prefer. You can use acrylic spray, or you could use— what did I say first? Decoupage. Or I have like— and there's lots of different varnishes, but you could use a varnish as well. So if you're wanting it to be high gloss, kind of like an epoxy look, which is like what my cup is here, that's epoxy. I don't do epoxy on cups, so that's not how I'm going to seal mine. I'm just going to do one of those options, and then you would want to just hand wash them as well. Suzanne, I am in Central time zone. So here is the cool thing. We're going to be sending you guys a link in your email for the live stream, and when you sign up for it, it will send you reminders and it converts it into your time zone. So there won't be any confusion on what time you're supposed to show up. That was another added benefit to doing it as a live stream. I really like that little bit of turquoise in there. Oh, I just smeared my blue. Here is just another thing to think about if you're doing this and maybe you do something and you're like, I don't like that. Um, I'm just going to grab this baby wipe because I made it a little thicker than what I wanted to. Hey Debbie, um, Lisa said you could use dishwasher-safe Mod Podge. I have not heard of that. It takes a long time to cure. It does, to be dishwasher safe. Oh, okay. Like days and days. Oh yeah. So I'm just using a baby wipe where I messed up that glue over here. Just wipe right off. Okay, I'm gonna do— while I'm letting that kind of dry. I'm going to do a couple, um, extra coats on some of these to see what we think. I don't feel like the green needs the extra coats. It looks really good, but the pink is like a little more transparent. Um, Suzanne said, would a Clorox wipe be okay instead of a baby wipe? Yeah, I think so. Um, I don't see why it wouldn't be. You can also just get a damp, um, paper towel and it'll wipe off. So whenever you're doing second coats like this, you do want to make sure that that first coat is dry, because if it's not, you're just going to be dragging your paint around. You're just going to be moving it. So you want it to be dry before you start adding in a second coat. So I think we can add in a little bit with And it's still— you can see some of that color coming through. Amy said she heard you don't want to put these types of cups in a dishwasher because it ruins the seal and it stops keeping your drinks hot and cold. Interesting, I did not know that. Yes, Stacy says you were right. Um, I never— we always hand wash these types of cups anyway, so I guess I just hadn't even thought about it. Let's get a little bit more of that bright color. What do you guys think about the colors? I'm liking these. I'm gonna mix a little bit of orange and see if I like that on here. So I'm taking— I did a little bit of red and yellow, but then I added some of that really vibrant pink in as well. I kind of like that little pop of contrast. So I'm going to show you a trick. Instead of using— I'm going to get that paint out of that brush as much as I can. Sorry. Instead of using a brush and the bristles, you can also just flip that over to get perfect little dots. And the bigger brush you use, then obviously the different size those are. I think I'm going to mix up some more of that orange so I can add more on there though. So I'm just going to show you the mixing. Let's do some of that really bright, and then this is like a lemon yellow, so it's gonna give us a really pretty coral color. I like that better than when I mixed it with the red. I'm gonna use this brush, this is my number 1, and let's do a couple dots. With this, just so I can get some bigger ones too. So it's all about the amount of pressure that you put down. If you push down hard, you're going to get a bigger circle. If you just barely dab it on Then you'll get smaller. I'm liking the polka dots on there. I think I'm going to do a few white ones. If you have a hard time, if your hand is shaky and you feel like you can't make it steady, you can always hold your wrist or rest it on the table, and that will help give you a little bit more stability. Okay, so these are still wet up here. These are starting to dry. I'm gonna go in with a little white and just add some little accent marks in here. See, this needs some more paint. What do you guys think for the centers? Should we do black in the centers or the really dark blue? Can't decide. Now you could also— for this part I'm doing with the skinny brush You could also use a Posca pen to add these marks as well. Dark blue. Yeah, it might tie together a little bit better since we don't have black anywhere else. I think I need a different white Posca pen. Will you— I think inside that little closet there should be, from when we did the live event, there's a bunch of black and white ones mixed together. Stacy's going to grab me a white Posca pen, and you could use a lot of different color Posca pens. I think I'm going to put another coat of the dark blue on like those little berry type things. Okay, so I'm going to take a little bit of black. And my blue and just make it really super dark. A little bit of black goes a long way. Hey Vanessa, yeah, so we are going to seal this. I don't know if I'll do it on the live, but we are going to seal it and I'll show you guys a couple. I'll do a little recap on the different ways that you can do that. I think that was the right choice. What do you guys think? I'm going to add a little bit more, the green leaves in here. But it's so fun to be able to take paintings and do them on a different surface. Instead of always doing on canvas. Let me know in the comments, like, what are some of your favorite things to paint on? Another, um, fun project would be— I still haven't done this, it's on my list of things— like a lazy Susan to have at the dinner table, a hand-painted one. It's sealed. They make great housewarming gifts for people, birthday gifts. But who wouldn't also love to get a hand-painted cup? You could do this on any of those, any kinds of tumblers out there. Yes, Sylvia, wooden trays are great too. I have done a wooden tray. Jilly said painting on rocks. Yes, we love to do rock painting. We go to a place called Cloud Nine and we paint rocks with the kids, and then we hide them. And it's an ATV park, so when you're out driving around, you're always looking and trying to find people's painted rocks. So that's always fun too. Um, Gina said, what would you use to seal it for a lazy Susan? Same thing, um, any, any of those sealers will work. So while this is drying, I'll just show you guys a couple that I have here. So this is DecoArt DuraClear. It's a high-gloss varnish, and it can seal this cup, it can seal wooden trays, lazy Susans, paintings, anything. Um, let me show you. I'm going to grab my peacock painting and show you what that looks like when it's dry. Zoom you out just a little bit. So this is the DuraGloss— is it right? Yeah, DuraClear High Gloss. So see that shiny finish? It's really, really pretty. So if you like the high gloss, like epoxy look, then you would want like a, a gloss finish. And this is one of my favorite ones, high gloss, so super shiny. Um, oh, you know what I just thought of? I had this sitting out and I haven't added any gold yet. And then you could also do DecoPodge. So it's a glue, sealer, and finish. This one is in matte. So it will dry like the paint is. That's a matte finish that the paint dries to. So you could seal the whole thing in that, and then again, you can pick any finish you want to. It comes in satin, gloss, matte, all the things. And then the third option would just be an acrylic spray. Um, so any of those three will work to seal it. Uh, Sherry said, do you seal all your paint? I don't. Most of the time I don't seal them. I did on that one just because I love that peacock, um, and I just felt like she should be shining. But I usually don't unless they're gonna like go in a bathroom or somewhere where it's like high humidity or exposed to the sun, I don't, which none of mine are. Um, so I just hang them on my wall. So I'm just shaking up my Posca pen because it's a little runny. So that just means you need to shake it up. Always keep your lid on when you're doing that because it will spray that paint. Oh, it still looks runny to me. We'll test it and see. Oh, it's fine. You know, oddly enough, I think I like— usually I love Posca pens and they're so easy but I feel like I do better with a brush on here than a Posca pen. I feel like it's easy— easier with a brush because it's a curved surface, so your bristles just kind of pull alongside it. So I think I'm going to go back to my skinny brush and do my white highlights with that. Yes, Gretchen, they protect against water. So yeah, these are hand wash. Yep, I like the skinny brush better. You just never know until you try. All right, let me know if you guys have any other questions. We are wrapping up here. I'm not gonna seal it on the live today because I still have some wet spots, so I don't want to rush that. But if you have any other questions about this, um, or about the Summer Vibes Workshop, definitely get signed up for that. So you will get the link in your email to join us live, and we will have replays available through the end of May. Sherri said my white paint pens always seem so runny or water— I've had a mix. You usually— not until just a while ago, um, did I start noticing it with some of mine. I'm wondering if it's because they've been sitting for a while, but whenever I get new white Posca pens, they're always like super bright white. That's why I love them so much. So maybe they just really need to be shaken up a lot more is what I'm thinking. I think I want a little bit more green over top of this one. And just like always, anytime you do something and you're like, oh, I wish I wouldn't have done that, you can just paint over it. Like, I don't like where those Posca pen marks are, so I'm just gonna paint right over top of them. Um, Jamie said, will you please post a video of you sealing it for reference? So what we'll do, Jamie, I don't know if it'll be a video, but we will be turning this Facebook Live into a blog post, and the blog post will have all of the information on how to seal it, like all the steps, and we'll do pictures of all of that along the way also. But I think this would be pretty in lots of different colors. Too. I think red flowers would be pretty on here, or even if you did some like all the same in different styles— daisies, sunflowers. I will be painting the back side too, Bonnie, but I'm just not doing it on this live. So yeah, I'll paint the whole thing all the way around. And then if you came in late, these are some of the other colors that we have available in the store. So we've got the hot pink, the baby pink, we have gray, we have black. I really want to see— I'm just going to do a flower on here really quick. I want to see what the pink looks like on the black because I think it's going to be so pretty. This would be fun. I can really go— look, that's like a neon. I think the teal is going to be really pretty on here. Those colors are going to be awesome. Oh yeah, Sherry, that's a good idea. She said my peacock feather would look really cool on here too. Like, honestly, any— like, I was even thinking I want to do one with my palm trees. So these are, um, let's move this out of the way so I don't get my wet paint messed up. But like, how cute would a dragonfly be on the cup. But I'm thinking like I want to do one with the palm trees on it because I'm obsessed with the palm trees. Um, so this would look really cool. Let's just do just a little one. We're just gonna do a little testing here. Let's just play just a little and then I'm gonna jump off. Yeah, sunflowers would be really pretty on the black as well, I think. Um, Lisa, I have the link up above. We have them in our store where you can buy these cups if you're wanting to paint them. Um, Nonnie said, do these, uh, have logos on them? Um, these do not, so they're not the Stanley brand. It's just a generic, which I think is even better because then you don't have to deal with the logo. But I'm not one— I'm not gonna buy it for, for the logo either. Um, okay, so I'm just gonna do— I think this might be my favorite. I'm just dying to see what this looks like on the pink cup. Lisa, did you answer me and tell me if you preferred a color? I can't remember. If you did. Um, Nani, if you click the description of this video, it will pull down and show you the link to that, and then I think we can copy and paste that. In there as well. I love navy and hot pink together. It is one of my favorites. How cool is that? Hey Joni, when you go back and watch this replay, I go over, um, how to seal them. So there's a couple different options. You can do Decoupage or clear varnish. This is really pretty when you're doing this lime green and that blue before it's completely dry. It's mixing a little bit in some of those places and getting like a really pretty, almost like emerald green color. How fun is that? I'm gonna make myself a little purple over here. So turquoise and pink make a really pretty, like, lavender color. Just a touch of that in there. So you got a little bonus today because I just couldn't help myself. I just really wanted to see what that looked like on here, and I love it. Um, so I am just using— yeah, I'm just using DecoArt Craft Acrylics. Um, I did not list all of them, but we've got Fuchsia Pop and Lemon Yellow, Sour Apple, all the bright colors. The brighter the better. Um, Magenta Electric Pink and Peacock Teal. And where's that blue? I did Ultra Blue Deep, and then of course white. So those are almost all the colors that I used. So just to kind of show you on— I don't want to set that down in wet paint. Um, just regular craft acrylic. It dries matte, but it doesn't say that on there. It's just— it just says Americana DecoArt. And then you can do a high varnish or high gloss varnish. You can do decoupage or you can do a spray acrylic to seal. So I hope you guys had fun with that. We'll be posting more pictures of the finished cups. And then, like I said, in a few weeks it will also be a new blog post where all the information is in our blog for you. So I hope you guys enjoyed it. This will be my last Facebook Live on the public page until Sunday night. Make sure you sign up for Sunday night. It's going to be so much fun. Sunday we are starting with our tropical flowers, and then Monday we are doing the vibrant palms, and then finishing up later in the week with our dragonfly. And, um, lots of lives in between there to chat and talk to you more about Tribe because we are opening doors to new members. So hope you guys enjoyed that, it was so much fun. To paint them with you. Um, Lisa said, do Tribe Sisters need to sign up? So Lisa, we'll put a post inside the Tribe Facebook group, but Megan has already put the color list and templates and everything in there. That's in the featured tab, so you can download that to have all the information. But we will be posting the actual link to the live, um, the live stream in the Tribe Sister Facebook group, so you guys can sign up for that and get notifications as well. Okay, I will see you guys Sunday at 6. Bye!
