Acrylic Ice & Fruit Tumbler Lid/Topper - Non-toxic, epoxy-free, and Crystalac compatible!

NOTE: See timestamps, actual tutorial starts around 21:30; or 14:30 if you want to slice the fruit in half.

Let’s make this super cute, super popular ice & fruit topper for tumbler lids, using non-toxic methods totally compatible for your epoxy-free/Crystalac OR epoxy tumblers!

You will need acrylic ice in 2 different sizes, an acrylic tumbler lid (stainless or plastic will also work), a piece of faux plastic fruit, and a hot glue gun with glue. If you want to slice your fruit you will also need some hot water, and either a hot knife or a lighter and exacto knife. Please exercise extreme caution and proper safety measures if slicing your fruit.

This method does not need to be sealed with either Crystalac or Epoxy, and is durable enough to withstand daily use. Make sure you seal all “nooks and crannies” created by the acrylic ice with hot glue to ensure a good seal on the base, which will help prevent contamination of the lid. It is also recommended that you include a “not hot drinks” warning on your care cards, and wash with mild soap and lukewarm (not hot) water, and allow to fully dry prior to reuse. These lids are NOT dishwasher safe when completed with this method.
