YAY! You are now the proud owner of the Cricut Mug Press. How exciting! I know I squealed when mine arrived because I have been wanting to do mug projects and I just love new craft supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve followed the on-screen prompts to set up your mug press you\u2019re ready to start creating mugs. You\u2019ll want your mug press on a heat-resistant surface. I have a sturdy old office cabinet that works well for me. It has caster wheels so that I can move it and there is storage below. But one of the nice things about the mug press is that it is very lightweight and has a small footprint for easy storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your mug press is heating up let\u2019s head to design space and pick out a design for your mug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From here, you can make one of the pre-made Cricut designs, or you can upload your own design SVGs. To upload your own, click on Mug Design Setup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once happy with the placement of your design, select everything. Choose Attach. Press Make It. Since we\u2019re going to be using Infusible Ink, be sure to select Mirror. Press Continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutting out your design:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Choose Infusible Ink for your material setting. Place your Infusible Ink sheet on your cutting mat. We like to start in one corner and carefully lay it down from there, using our brayer to ensure that it is laying down properly on the mat without touching it too much with our fingers. The oils from your fingers can dilute the ink and prevent you from getting results that are as vibrant or bold as you expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
