[@kathyshorter8150]

Love this. I was afraid to try sublimating a tumbler in my mug press but that looked easy. Thank you for showing us how to do this. You're the best!

[@terriestyran6299]

Thank you for this video!! I have the mug press and thought I was limited to just coffee mugs. I just bought a printer so I could start sublimation. Now I’m ordering tumblers and wraps! Can’t wait to try it out!

[@doribergman2573]

I have always wanted to try using my Cricut Mug Press for a tumbler. Ordering the silicone wraps and shrink raps, now! Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@lornaandino3451]

I bought a cricut machine without having any experience with it and I was about to return it back to store until I start watching your videos for beginners, your knowledge and the step by step videos are awesome and thanks to your awesome videos I love all the amazing thing I've done already, I look forward to more of your videos

[@carmenflores2016]

I've done my skinny tumblers on my mug press but had no idea i could use the shrink wraps!!! Your tutorials are always so informative!! Thanks Michael

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Oh my goodness!!! That hack worked perfectly! I don’t have the CRICUT mug press, but I do have a mug press attachment that came with my 8 in 1 heat press. I also have both types of silicone wraps, but I haven’t tried the ones without the silver clamps. And I have only pressed mugs so far. That’s why I searched KZbin for ways to do the skinny 20oz tumblers without using an oven or an actual sublimation oven. Well, I got a box of sublimation tumbler blanks delivered to me late Sunday evening (Amazon), and now I need to know the best way to sublimate them. Thanks for sharing. Your tumbler turned out AMAZING! Of course I liked and subscribed. 🎉

[@barbmcconville2741]

I just want to thank you and Angie Holden about making tumblers in the Cricut mug press…FABULOUS!!! No ghosting, small issue with seam but that’s totally on me and was able to fix with infusible marker and heat gun! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

[@msbritnic88]

I actually really like the first glow behind it. This looks amazing!! Makes me now want to buy a mug press, lol.

[@denisej.527]

I'm just trying this and my Tumbler turned out GREAT!!! Thank you for all you do.

[@CathysCraftyHaven2766]

Thank you so much Michael 🤗 You answered my question of using shrink wraps in a Cricut Mug Press, fabulously 🙏🏻 Your tutorials are so helpful 👍🏻 Please keep making them for us ❤

[@saraevans9187]

I’m going to try this today and make my first one for my hubby. Thx for the great video and awesome tips of the shrink wrap and craft stick! Love your stuff.

[@jacquelinesmith3450]

You rocked it! I didn’t see a seam and it was same level of brightness on the entire tumbler 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@junedorning1711]

This is another reason why I am thinking about getting the mug press and I absolutely love this

[@melturner457]

Just have to say I was ready to give up on my Cricut before I found your videos! Thank you for being so awesome!

[@marydickens8670]

I used a canning lid and it worked perfectly when I flipped my tumbler around.

[@WhimsicalNarratives]

THis turned out so beautiful! I would love to add tumblers and mugs to my shop at some point!

[@blancapagan545]

I just love you, you explain thing so well. The tumbler came out gorgeous

[@evohno]

I use the PYD Life sublimination tumblers and really a like them. But I haven’t tried the mug press with them. Love this inspiration!

[@elizabethfisher4911]

Love the tip about the popsicle stick!

[@MsBabylu]

I have been following you for a very long time, but I have never seen this one. Love it. Learned something new

[@arelismarquez5998]

Thank you for such a detailed explanation of the entire process.

[@zizimcreations]

Awesome! We have those blanks too! Love your works!🥰

[@bcyelle20]

I sublimated a skinny tumbler a couple of weeks ago. Thought about flipping it and didn’t. Wish I had …..Thanks again for the tutorial 🙂

[@aleylucadr]

Great video. Thank you!

[@lilliancruz8493]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Thank you for providing easy to follow videos. This is coming from a trainer that knows you have to teach from the most elementary level!

[@jennywood3455]

Thank you so much for the video! I have a question for you though. I used the same wraps as you did but melted the bottom in the machine. Any suggestions on how to get it off the metal plate and will it effect my future mugs/tumblers?

[@amyspeck6014]

This video was extremely helpful! I just did my first four tumblers in my mug press and they turned out beautiful and I also used Canva for design. So appreciate your video.

[@craftynet]

We're so pleased to hear this! ❤️

[@sophiahagan3054]

Great video!

[@aureatorres6464]

Thanks

[@rethawallace7284]

That is awesome ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kiarabenitez8726]

Best video ever👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@rachy11051981]

I really need to try this iam going to have a look at cavna as well I use design space. But canna dose not look to hard to learn wish me luck lol

[@Kelli_D.]

That looks great 👍 I think I would have done the shadow in yellow. It would of matched the color theme and would make the "sticker" pop. Can you use a blow dryer for the shrink wrap? I don't have a heat gun but I have a blow dryer that never gets used lol. Also think the silicone wraps would be useful in a regular mug press. I use my 11 oz mug press to do my 20 oz. Tumblers. With the template which templates confuse me for some reason we basically just keep it there until we get our project set how we want it then delete it? And lastly say I wanted an image on one side and a quote or some type of text on the other if I put my image on the right side of the template the text on the left then bring in the background I want to use. After I remove the template when I press it the image will actually be on one side and text on the other? It won't print all bunched up. My printer is set to mirror when I print so I wouldn't need to mirror on canva right? I know if you do both on design space they cross each other out and it doesn't mirror at all.. ask me how I know...lol

[@danacarlborg2115]

Hi Michael! I ordered all the things at midnight when I saw this. I didn't realize I could use my mug press for tall tumblers. I thought I had to get a different one. However, The tumblers say it comes with shrink wraps. Are they the same thing? THANKS MICHAEL!!!

[@maladylis08]

I just got a new mg press so thanks for the idea !

[@craftynet]

You're very welcome!

[@geminidiva4237]

Great video and very informative with burst of🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@theyorkshirelad.]

hi crafty im in need of some advice I have loads of failed tumblers so ive used paint tripper back to stainless finish what can I do with these now too make look nice

[@hwlscentedcandlesandcraftsco]

Hi, I love your videos. I wanna ask if I don't have a sublimation printer. Can I use the siser DTV instead?

[@krubiog2505]

hi i love your videos!! very helpful although I have a issue, i have purchased many brands on 20oz straight tumblers and in all of them the paper gets stuck on the tumbler really bad, i cant even peel the paper off. I see on your video the paper comer right off, what am i doing wrong??? have tried this so so many times with less time, more time and all my results are the same, hope you can help me, Thanks

[@victoriabohler8187]

Have you tried doing this with infusible ink? Did the shrink wrap help with that?

[@sophielafleche3803]

Can the wrap sleeves that you heat shrink be re-used?

[@jillriley5227]

That was such an easy video. You make it easy to follow. What brand do you use for your shrink wrap?

[@alexyalvarez9852]

i love it tanks

[@awkwardartist7628]

Love iyt!

[@ara2181]

What if I have left over paper do I need to cut it to size or can I leave it

[@angs1979]

I am trying to make some tumblers for a bridal party that I am in. But the measurements keeps being off . What measurements do you recommend. Greatly appreciated your reply.

[@marissastrang6848]

I followed this exact EXACT method and I keep getting a giant patch the size/width of the front opening. (brand new mug press) im about to have a melt down. I don't know what to do differently... I don't want to waste one more tumbler. Any ideas? I looooove your videos btw

[@thesimmingsimbler]

What if you don’t have a piece of silicone or tongue depressor? What can i use instead for the top of the tumbler?

[@vernenarussell4970]

Hi Michael. I have tried sublimating neoprene lunch totes. A total fail. Do you have a video?

[@vvvkkk8446]

why do you need the shrink wrap for?

[@Margareth20648]

where can I get the foam you put around the mug?

[@chaveliandfamily1939]

I sublimated my first tumbler on my mug press without using the sleeve color of the design on the top of the tumbler looked faded. Should I just purchase a tumbler heat press or should I try again? Please help!

[@debbielatta2782]

i see where you put in the size of the tumbler template, but then you said it was on the left downloaded but i don't see that. not the template that has the dash lines on it?

[@dabratmoni]

My image was sweating underneath the blue silicone wrap and it distorted image in places, how can I fix or what am I doing wrong

[@renehinkel5474]

White definitely

[@kathyhollett7038]

Really bummed out. I did everything to a T that you suggested. Made sure my shrink wrap wasn't hanging down to much near the heat platten of my mug press. Used a popsicle stick and everything. and the shrink wrap melted all over the platten. Too hot to get it off and when it cools I still don't think I can get off or even get my hand in there to get to it. I will stick with butcher paper or use my PYD oven. Just thought I would try what you suggested.

[@katieghoul0092]

I'm completely new..thinking about making decals, tumblrs/mugs etc for now. What is "ghosting"? I've heard that term alot but don't know what it means. Also, is there a way to upload your own designs with Cricut?

[@angelsuniverse6021]

so the mug press aply heat on one side at a time?

[@debbieh1323]

What shrink wraps do I buy? I’m in UK. thanks

[@abbiflohrs1383]

when you printed out the design did you print it onto sublimation paper?!

[@francesalvarado7143]

What printer paper you use for the tumbler?

[@jasonalvis400]

Did you use inkjet or sublimating ink in your printer?

[@karenh8778]

I just finished my first tumbler and it turned out GREAT, thanks to you fantastic directions. I do however have a question. Some of the shrink wrap got on my Cricut MugPress plate and it's on there good. Is there a way to get this off so the machine is not damages? I think going forward I may just us protective paper/parchment paper. Any ideas to get it off?

[@user-mb3hl5rh9f]

Me too! I had the same question. Not sure why it didn't melt on demo.

[@user-rx8hx4xh2c]

Can someone please tell me what it was he used when removing the wrap and tape? 🙏

[@johnjames4323]

What are the names of these programs

[@stephanieg1184]

I have glass tumblers for sublimation, can I do the glass ones in the mug press? Love your video btw you explained this perfectly!! 🥰😁

[@JadaHolley86]

Use a silicone wrap if you do, and wrap that thing up good in butcher paper or shrink wrap. People have said without those silicone wraps they have messed up their Cricut mug press and broke the glass, so be very careful. There should also be videos where you can watch people do the glass tumblers in a Cricut mug press using silicone wrap, just type all that in the search bar, that’s how I found a good video on it, I’ll try to link it below.

[@sweetjanette8199]

Ugh reply squad…but lovin the project

[@avaonalee]

You don't have to worry about the middle part of the tumbler being over done, as parts of it might be done twice?

[@user-df7xe4my5w]

where did you find the downloads

[@donnahawes3372]

Do you have to use the shrink wrap and silicone wrap or could you just use butcher paper to wrap around it?

[@karenwiggins-ly9zl]

For tumblers you need to use something to make it tight. It is usually for mugs which fit snug in the mug press.

[@Danny_Crispino]

replay. can you use infusible ink markers and create design in DS to sublimate?

[@craftynet]

You definitely can! 😊 Here’s a link to that video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3_ahKiHpLR3nJo

[@CosmicNeighbors]

Thanks for creating this video :) I tried it and have two questions. 1. the sleeve melted onto the bottom metal piece of the mug press. Is that normal? and 2. I cannot seem to get rid of ghosting around the top edge. Thanks again for sharing this :)

[@jillboyce1197]

That happened to me too. the melting on the metal piece. I had to put the press in the freezer in order for the plastic to pop off.

[@CosmicNeighbors]

@@jillboyce1197 I wish I would have thought of putting it in the freezer. I was so aggravated the thought never crossed my mind. Thanks for sharing that info. I'm sure i'll melt something else in the future :) I guess using a tongue depressor on both ends is the way to go. Curious, did you have any ghosting? I had on the top and bottom. Thanks!

[@catsaffiliatemarketinghelp9848]

Can I use a blow dryer to shrink the wrap onto the tumbler. I do not have a heat gun.

[@Inspiredbyjames]

I do it all the time!

[@parhammelinda]

I did do a tumbler and was pleased. The only problem was the plastic melted on the metal plate. What should I do next time to stop that from happening?

[@jillboyce1197]

I wish someone would answer this question. Happened to me too. I had to place the press in the freezer in order for the plastic to pop off of the metal plate.
