How to make

Step 1

Start by opening the project in the Cricut Design Space app using the project link at the top of this post, or alternatively use this link - https://design.cricut.com/landing/project-detail/6317def2166ae620e109a592

 

To access the project, copy and paste the link into your browser, you will be directed to a Cricut landing page, select 'Open' followed by 'Open Cricut Design Space Application'.

 

The app will open (you may be prompted to log in) and the project overview screen will appear.

 

Select 'Customise'

Step 2
Once through to the Canvas screen, re-size the components as desired, using the mug positioning guide located along the top of the design.

Step 3
Once happy select all the design components in the layers tab, including the 'Small Mug Wrap' and 'Attach' the elements.
Step 4
Hide the 'Design Guide for Mug' in the layers panel, then click 'Make It'.

Step 5

Once through to the mat preview screen, ensure everything is present and correct and that the mirror function is enabled; this will ensure the text reads from left to right once it is pressed and infused onto the mug.

 

Click 'Continue'.

Step 6
Once through to the machine set-up screen, select the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet cut setting, and follow the on-screen instructions to cut the design.
Step 7

Use a weeder tool to remove any elements of the design you do not wish to transfer to the mug.

 

Top Tip: Be extra careful not to touch the Infusible Ink sheet with your fingers, as finger prints can sometimes be left behind

Step 8
Use a lint cloth to remove any dust that may be on the mug, then wrap the design around the mug. Secure a small piece of heat resistant tape where the Infusible Ink carrier sheet meets at the handle.
Step 9

Once the Mug Press has heated up (the power button will turn green), place the mug into the press, and push down on the lever to secure the heat plates around the mug. The design will then begin infusing into the mug.

 

When the timer sounds, release the leaver and carefully remove the mug from the press and place onto a heat resistant mat to cool.

 

Top Tip: The mug will be incredibly hot when removed from the press, make sure to take extra care!

Step 10

Once the mug has completely cooled the Infusible Ink carrier sheet can then be removed.

 

Your mug is then ready to be used as soon as it's been washed.
