GOOD NEWS! I tried this WITHOUT shrink wrap and IT WORKS BETTER! So much easier! You just need to make sure to tape all sides around the handle. I had PERFECT mugs!

I have never had any luck without shrink wrap so I personally do not recommend it.

Wow! How great is this? Thanks for always being there testing stuff out for us - CrystalAnn with Design Bundles just did a video yesterday 2/21, using an inkjet printer, on Best, and then applied the design to a cotton t-shirt - color was superb - then she turned right around and washed it which I think she should have waited 48-72 hours - so perhaps these projects will be less expensive to create one of these days

[@alicacummings4126]

Love this. Side note, you can also change the template to a regular cut (not a print and cut) to let Cricut cut a test template out to check your size.

[@AngieHolden]

Definitely! I do NOT want to run my Cricut for a test! HA HA HA!

Angie, you and your tutorials are awesome. I’m so glad that you provided us with a template as I was shopping around trying to find one. I have been having so much trouble getting a mug to come out good in the new convection oven I purchased and my shrink wrap always melts. You are a savior.

[@bottlethisglassthat2576]

Hi Angie and thank you sooooo much for this video! I bought Hobby Lobby's sub mug with a handle and it's just a little wider than the norm so not a good fit for the Cricut Mug Press; I have an attachment that goes with my heat press but was not ready to tackle that feat either so I wanted to see about sublimating it in my sub oven with a shrink wrap and low and behold your video was right on point. The only issue I was having was the width with handle was not going to slide down the sleeve so I had to cut along seam about half way then fit it around mug and tape the heck out of it underneath the handle as you did and of course the end where it was slit. To assure a snug fit, I used my silicone bands on top of and under the handle after shrink wrapping it and voila! It came out fantastic and it was a birthday for my daughter's teacher. Whew!!! I want to make more now. 🤣🤣🤣

[@AngieHolden]

Yay! Happy to help!

Great Video. I just ordered a sublimation oven, epson ecotank printer and sublimation ink. Also gathering supplies. I saw the shrink sleeve link in the comments, but it did not work. I want to order some to have on hand because I am definitely going to do some mugs. Can you update please? I don't want to order something that may not work well for mugs. Even if the website is no longer working, maybe the size dimensions for the shrink sleeving will put me in the ballpark. Love your videos and watch them to help me learn more. I just did a full purge of my craft room and reorganized. My reward to myself was purchasing equipment for sublimation. So psyched! I purchased the PYD Life mini oven. Thought that would be the best option since I can do most all the stuff without having several pieces of equipment and getting more bang for my buck (that's the Scottish in me LOL).

[@AngieHolden]

I don't think there is!

[@tfodthogtmfof7644]

You could use the heat shrink and place it in a mug press with butcher paper to protect the press. The mug should transfer enough heat and the shrink wrap should provide the pressure to the under handle area. It would be worth an experiment.

[@meghanpost9580]

You could use your template to trace a cut line out on the white one so you can see where your cutting, if you can't or don't want to use a cricut. 😊

This is awesome. Thanks for the template. I will definitely be trying this. Now, if only Cricut Design Space would allow for ICC profiles in the printing.

You can set your computer to have an ICC profile for the printer. Try this video from Cori George: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hafQlmaYiK-rm5I

[@jannymorrow]

@@AngieHolden Unfortunately, this did not work at all. If I print with Photoshop and select the ICC profile it works perfectly. Following the instructions to add the profile in colour management, etc., did not work at all. I'm not sure why not. I followed the directions exactly and the profile is showing under the printer with colour management as the default.

It is tricky and took me a few hours to get right frankly.

[@jannymorrow]

@@AngieHolden Would you mind if I emailed you some screenshots and maybe you can see if I am missing something?

[@embroidery-world]

Thank you for the great videos, but I'm giving up on trying full wrap - have ruined so many mugs and no progress. I tape the paper down all around before using the shrink wrap and get it as tight as I can around the handle and then tape again and apparently it's not tight enough to make the print stick. I have no problem with the paper and mug when I do in heat press, so know it's not that and have no problem with tumblers in the convection oven. Could be partially time and temp, but near the handle no design is transferring at all so think it's the pressure. Oh well... on to something else and toss the remaining 20 color handle mugs.

[@AngieHolden]

If nothing transfers at all, my guess would be the manufacturer is not spraying the coating in that area.

[@embroidery-world]

@@AngieHolden it transfers in the main part of mug, just not around the handle and is lighter or non existent going from handle to middle of mug so that's why i think it's not tight enough around the handle even though it's taped down

[@laurasmith3652]

It could be the mugs themselves not having the coating all around them. What brand mugs are you using?

@AngieHolden not sure what I am doing wrong, but it won't ungroup in Design Space.

Hi Angie, thanks for the great content! This is so clever. In looking at best selling mug wraps, I'm seeing the sizes of the wraps really vary, both in the 11oz and the 15oz. I'm looking making and selling wraps and not sure what size is optimal, especially for people making their own mugs. I'd really appreciate any thoughts you might have on that. Thanks so much!

Yea there are so many sizes. The issue really is that mugs vary depending on the brand. Not sure how you can really find something that will work for every mug that exists!

I'm in the UK and pulling my hair out. I use Cricut design space and I bought some sublimation mug paper 3.5" by 9". I set my printer as user defined for the paper measurements 3.5" by 9" and page orientation to portrait. What's confusing me is the paper settings in Cricut when I send it to make it. Do I set this as A4 document, or legal document. I tried setting it to A4 then loading my mug paper in my Epson printer but some letters are missing. 😢

If you want to use that small paper, you will need to use another program that is NOT Cricut Design Space.
