Color Changing Mugs with Cricut and Silhouette Cameo using Thermochromic Pigment

[@tanvidamani]

Hey have you tried looking for "chrome" finish vinyls? Maybe that will give you the shiny metal colors that you want?

[@jus1callaway]

1st time on your channel. Just loved your idea of the color change. Thanks for sharing this!!

[@victortorres3776]

Maybe do the temp rising on the unicorn horn when you put in hot coffee, tea etc...making the magic of caffeine effects...

[@BetterLifeBlog]

Victor Torres good idea!!

[@jrl9319]

Always always always clean with alcohol and then let it sit for a couple minutes while the alcohol dries in the fissure cracks. It's so cool to step into this I did the same thing with UV resin

[@skyheart125]

Hi.. is the sticker not gonna come off easily on glass and ordinary mug?

[@atelierrosettestreaming2295]

Looks amazing, where did you get the Black-Pink thermochromic powder? I'm having trouble finding it and you only have the Purple-Blue one listed.

[@JasmineSJuman]

Love this ❤,thank you for sharing ❤

[@llkaygifts]

Thank you for the free file❤️🥰

[@westafoya6772]

I draw/design bright colored Acrylic mini and reg. mural's - how could I imprint one unto Chrystal, mugs, or glass for my clients? Is there machinery for this?

[@luxe-zone-butterfly_]

Tyfs! I want to make this. Perfect for a coffee mug as u demonstrated 😊

[@jaywhite3085]

As far as the blue cut out did you use the same template for the gas tank?

[@estherperez4109]

Hi where can I get the cold thermochromic pigment?

[@Dala-sn5to]

Can I used any black mug? Even the dollar tree ones?

[@HoshiHikari]

Does the vinyl stencil peel off easily and are there workarounds for that? Do you seal it somehow?

[@conform-contrast]

This is so awesome! My only question is that the finish of the Mod Podge / thermochromic pigment ends up being a MATTE finish whereas the mug is GLOSSY. Is there any way that one could add a glossy finish to make it match the mug a bit more and therefore be more invisible?

[@chiandrawilliams1951]

Ceramic varnish instead of mod podge

[@jsardone]

Is there to make it glossy like the mug so it's totally indistinguishable?

[@anna1128dav]

Hi I’m a new Subscriber I have a question Can this be used on sublimation mug can this be used with cricut infuseable ink and in a heat press Your video was amazing Thanks for sharing !!❤️😀❤️

[@elainesanders8038]

Can I put epoxy over the color changing dust?

[@yourunclesam6780]

Fantastic tutorial.Thank you for sharing this amazing project.

[@mamatosh05]

How freaking cute! Thanks for sharing.

[@BetterLifeBlog]

mamatosh05 thanks for watching!

[@JillsComfortZone]

This was awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@decgal81]

I tried this but my pigment/mod podge mixture isn't reacting to temperature. I've tested the potent itself, and it does. Any idea how I can fix this?

[@melissam1203]

Awesome tutorial. Love it. Quick question...are these powders toxic? Maybe toxic isn't the right word. I have been seeing a lot with the epoxy cups and how you have to use a mask and we'll ventilated area - wondering if the powders are the same. Is a mask required etc?

[@annagodfrey4689]

Melissa M the powders aren’t toxic or they don’t have a strong chemical odor. I hope I’m wording this right 😉. The powders she’s using are similar to mica powders. (they are powder pigment dyes used in eye shadow and soap). These powders have an extra additive for thermal reaction to hot and cold. You don’t have to use epoxy to seal the powders. You can use mod podge, clear spray paint, and acrylic spray sealers instead of epoxy. Just make sure you hand wash the item. However if you do use epoxy I recommend using a respirator. I’ve been making tumblers for about 2 years now. Epoxy is very dangerous to use if you are not in a well ventilated area. I don’t recommend using it at all if you or anyone in your home has any type of breathing issues or any allergies. (pets included). I promise you I’m not trying to sound rude in any way. Just wanted you to know to be very careful if you start working with epoxy. I hope this helps. 😊

[@melissam1203]

@@annagodfrey4689 thanks so much for clarifying. I have heard a lot of red flags with the epoxy so happy that I can use mod Podge to seal this. Thanks again.

[@annagodfrey4689]

Melissa M you are very welcome. Happy to help.

[@lindarobinson2104]

Can you mix the thermo color change powder with etching cream?

[@theresadenaro1253]

Can you do more ideas using the cold powder please!!

[@karenpaolahernandez6407]

Can you put a layer of the mod lodge after everything is done to make the cup and glass dishwasher safe?

[@ruthnegro2175]

Should the mixture be really thick? I have tried this and I cant seem to get it to work 😩 my cup is like yours has a semi gloss to it?

[@shelliesmiley6246]

Thanks for this, loved it, question do you have to have a radium mug to make it?

[@telishaspencer6154]

Does the pigment only work with dishwasher safe mod Podge?

[@FranksDIY]

That is such a great idea. Thank you

[@dianeschubert1911]

Thanks for the tutorial It is such a cool project to do.

[@leahcolley7440]

Will the pigment work on stainless steel tumblers?

[@JillsComfortZone]

Thank you so much for sharing! This was so helpful!

[@123rororose]

how long did you let for it to fully dry b4 take the stencil up

[@lyndamoore8576]

Truly enjoyed this video. I can't wait to try. Hopefully you will share more ideas on this process. I tried to obtain the gas tank file. I was not able to get promo code. Please help. Thanks

[@ttv.Shadowdemon723]

Wow you did a great job on this. My girlfriend is wanting to make this :)

[@Mamaslemonades]

I’m new to all of this craft stuff. And I’m just wondering what it means by cures for 28 days. Can you not use it for that long?

[@BetterLifeBlog]

Chantelle Matthews you can use it but handle with care!

[@kerri-annfullerton1335]

New to your channel but omggggg love your content! 😍❤️

[@lacyjohnson7142]

So cute!

[@mkfa5509]

If I'm using a oil based sharpie for my 1st design. I have to bake it in the oven. So after that I will apply the thermochromic. Do I need to bake the thermochromic as well? And am I also able to draw over the thermochromic after with the oil based sharpie.. because I still have to bake the sharpie.?? Any suggestions

[@BetterLifeBlog]

Abstract 68 Car Furniture unfortunately I haven’t tried putting it on the oven so I don’t know if that would work. Let us know if you try it!

[@krissyskreations]

Love the mug!!! Tfs!

[@victortorres3776]

Using a blow dryer? I wonder if a hearing gun like I use to remove bubbles from epoxy resin projects would be better or too much

[@bumblebee0369]

Yea it will work a lot faster. However, I’d hold the heat gun further away when drying or you know, it will get to hot and possibly burn. PS. I realize you posted this 8 months ago. But maybe it could help someone else

[@MistyElam]

Cool video. Where did you get the vinyl?

[@khaleephauba5549]

Does any mug work or there's specific type of mug?

[@NylaSkyy]

Thank you for sharing! Where did you get your transfer tape?

[@mustaphagrace1354]

Where can I get the materials

[@laabuelitafeliz]

thanks I will be trying this for the first time

[@theresadenaro1253]

What is the weeding ring you had on your finger??? It’s not in the links and I needs it!! Hahah

[@biancaharris838]

You don’t have to seal the vinyl??

[@AubrieNix]

Did you have to add heat to make those designs permanent?

[@BetterLifeBlog]

No, just wait 28 days to allow the mod podge to cure. ☺️

[@AubrieNix]

What about the stickered/vinyl part?

[@hotakmomma101]

Aubrie Nix, this might be a bit late but; allowing the permanent vinyl to stick well; wait 24 hours after laying it on your surface. So it can have a chance to fully adhere to the surface.

[@jezzplores8037]

When hand washing the vinyl comes off, how do you get it to stay?

[@katelynnopie2522]

Jezz Plores I’ve heard you need to use outdoor vinyl so it’ll be resistant to water and such

[@caitlinbaker9734]

When I try this technique the mod podge comes up with the stencil. Do you know how to prevent this?

[@kuntrylovehomestead1091]

Did you make sure to clean your glass first? Any oils it wong stick well. Also make sure not to stick the transfer tape too much to the mod podge. Hope this helps.

[@mrsdizi1234]

What part of the battery do you weed out?

[@amandaaruta8554]

please help. I've tried 2 of the color changing mugs and when I peeled of the stencil all of the mod Podge area came off with it and left none on the cup. what did I do wrong?

[@keribrown23]

Amanda Aruta I’ve had the same problem several times now. I’ve done more layers, less layers, let dry longer, cleaned mug, etc and still keeps peeling off with the stencil... HELP!!! Please...

[@victortorres3776]

It might be the transfer adhesive paper you’re using it might be gripping too hard on the surface you’re working on. I had this trouble on some of my projects. I don’t use modgepodge yet but I have had it happen on some shot glasses(small ones) and found the paint peel of similar to what you’ve said. I put epoxy resin on the paint to keep it in place. Works this way

[@lisarhoney]

I had the same issue. I used vinyl as a stencil. They make specific stencil paper for this. Maybe I need that. I did use an utility knife and cut around the design before pulling it off. That helps.

[@hotakmomma101]

I have had the same issue with the stencil vinyl. I’ve done wood stenciling, and it is better to put down your product, and peel it while it’s still wet. Maybe the same goes for placing on mugs and glass? Make sure you’re cleaning your surface really well. I use 91% rubbing alcohol to clean the mugs/glass/water bottles, before I lay down 651 vinyl.

[@pegmartin200]

Awesome

[@stantonmanor]

So much fun!!!!!

[@Jabeezo]

did you used vinyl sticker or heat transfer Vinyl?

[@mrshughes3979]

LOVE THIS!!

[@nazmirulmohamad6676]

Can it apply on stainless steel mug?

[@BetterLifeBlog]

Nazmirul Mohamad you can try but if it’s too insulated the temperature might not change on the outside. Try putting a hot drink in your mug and see if it feels hot to the touch on the outside

[@joyceleonard7231]

Where do you get ur decals

[@nicolebalus8243]
