Cricut: How to Personalise a Mug Using Infusible Ink Sheets
Personalise a beautiful handmade mug that has a professional finish that's long-lasting! You'll be able to craft a motivational mug design in no time using Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets and the Cricut Mug Press.
You'll also need a Cricut machine on hand to cut your Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets. We've used the Cricut Maker 3, but the project can be made on any Cricut machine.

*Cricut Design Space installed on a laptop. PC, Tablet or Mobile Device
Open Design Space and click “New Project”
Once in a new blank canvas click on “Projects”

If you are working with a Maker 3, Explore 3 or a Joy select “On Mat” and then “Done”
To find your cut setting for your Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet click on “Browse All Materials”
Search and select “Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets”
Apply your sheet to your mat and load your machine
Cut your design
Weed your design. You should be able to do this with just your fingers but you might find it useful to use a pair of tweezers
Wrap your design around your clean mug (you may want to use a lint roller to make sure it is extra clean and dust free) with your ink sheet facing the mug. Secure in place with heat resistant tape
Place your mug in to your pre-heated Mug Press and close down the lever. Ensure that the press covers the sides of the design
