Thankyou! Awsome video, very helpful!

[@ioufavors]

Thanks. Means so much! 🤗🥰

[@patti.j]

Wonderful video, I just purchased the cricut mini and wanted to do a cup. Will be trying it today.👍🏽

[@ioufavors]

Thanks so much! Let me know how it goes. Any questions, be sure to ask away. Happy to help!

[@GratefulBlessedImmigrant3102]

Fantastic! Love the mug! Gracias. New subscriber here.

[@ioufavors]

Thanks so much! Anything specific you want to learn let me know.

[@GratefulBlessedImmigrant3102]

@@ioufavors Aaww. That's so sweet.

[@laurel7309]

This was so helpful!! Thank you! I'm waiting for my mini to arrive. How long do you need to press down the mini on each line/word before moving on to the next line?

[@ioufavors]

You are very welcome. I pressed down for about a minute or two. Make sure you bake mug in oven for at least 5 minutes at 375°F before applying htv and pressing mini on it

[@kandypowell6133]

beautiful

[@ioufavors]

Thank you!

[@catdeeann]

I absolutely love it! Great choice of vinyl!!! How did you warm up the cup before adding the vinyl?

[@ioufavors]

I put it in the oven on 375 for 5 minutes

[@Diamonznpurlz]

Thanks I want to try this!

[@ioufavors]

Yes, you should definitely try.

[@Diamonznpurlz]

@@ioufavors I realized I didn’t buy HTV, I bought iron on so now I have to order the right vinyl.

[@ioufavors]

@@Diamonznpurlz Iron on is heat transfer vinyl. Be sure to mirror image and try it out. Let me know how it goes.

[@rosariogomarf.5642]

Super helpful! Thanks! Can you overlap layers of HTV with this technique?

[@ioufavors]

You can overlap htv layers. I would wait 24hrs to do second layer, to ensure first layer bounds correctly.

[@TRollex7092]

Hello , do you use an extra printer to print the font or you print straight from the Cricut

[@ioufavors]

I use htv vinyl. I used my Cricut Maker to cut vinyl before pressing it on mug.

[@paulsloan4725]

Have you done this with Cricut infusible ink sheets the same way using the Cricut mini easy press.thanks for haring this.

[@ioufavors]

Happy New Year! Thanks for subscribing to my channel. I have not tried it with Cricut Infusible ink sheets yet. However, if you have a sublimation mug--I am pretty sure you can use the same technique. The only problem you may run into is, the heat being applied evenly all around the cup. I am adding this idea to my things to try. Thanks for this idea. I will try it soon.

[@lomonicaboston]

Can you get the same effect by using Teflon and going back over the design with the mini press and not putting it in the oven?

[@ioufavors]

When using htv on mug it needs direct heat, but if you try it let me know how it comes out.

[@melissarichard8920]

I’m here because I don’t know what I’m doing. I didn’t realize I could do direct heat. I used a Teflon sheet and it left imprints of the sheet in the vinyl. Would not recommend.

[@suemarie6032]

I had no idea you could do mugs with the mini. You also mentioned not as good a result with the bigger heat press. I have no idea when things changed at Cricut (was the cup press out?) so I'm not sure if the bigger one you mentioned is the discontinued size below the 9x9? I would love to have that one. I am debating between the mini and the 9x9. I'm trying to find out how small of a project can be done with the 9x9. I saw an ad where they put decals all over shoes but that had to be hard. I imagine the same could be said for odd areas like on hats. Both are on sale at ridiculously low prices. I really wanted the 9x9 until I realized it may be too hard to do most small items. I would love your input. Thanks for sharing!

[@ioufavors]

This was created before the Cricut mug press came out. Also, I would suggest the Cricut mini press. You can use it on mugs, shoes, hats, and so much more. If you're looking for the 9 x 9 heat press check facebook marketplace. People are selling them on there all the time.

[@suemarie6032]

@@ioufavors Thanks for the prompt reply and info. I'm in Canada and the 9x9, which has been as high as $270 is on sale right now for $150. I always thought that would be better than spending $100 on the mimi, but now thats's $49. I do want it to be used for many diiff things, so I think I wil go with the mini. :)

[@ioufavors]

@@suemarie6032 You're going to love it! And for that price, you will love it even more! Omg from Canada 🇨🇦 So cool 🥰🥰

[@solmosley168]

I'm new to this. Can you please tell me what side is face up on mat?

[@ioufavors]

With htv you want the shiny side facing down. But if you are using regular vinyl, that will not be heat pressed on-that means shiny side facing up towards you. I hope this helps. 🤗

[@jmessinis5498]

Hello. Which do you think is better on a mug and last longer htv or permanent vinyl. Thank you.

[@ioufavors]

It really depends on your preference. For mugs both are great. But if you want it to stay on without years down line due to washing both can come off sublimation is best.

[@jmessinis5498]

@@ioufavors thank you

[@ioufavors]

@@jmessinis5498 you're welcome 😊

[@benjisworld3141]

Hi I want to start printing mugs do you recommend a software and printer I can start with? also if I plan to sell mugs does this stay on the mugs permanent? It doesn't peel or wash off?

[@ioufavors]

Cricut now have a mug press you can use. Easy to use. Also the Design Space software is easy to use as well. I have a Espon 7720. It's now discontinued, but any Espon printer that you can convert I recommend. Not all of them can be converted, so do your research.

[@ebonylewis98]

Also any printer that is an inkjet one

[@ioufavors]

@@ebonylewis98 yes, true. Also laser printers are great too

[@gisellecarvajal6048]

What happens if its not put in the oven? Another question, doing this, should you use the oven only for this purpose now?

[@ioufavors]

If not put in the oven it takes longer for the htv to bond to the cup. I used my cooking oven. It was just to get the cup to a high temperature to help bond htv on cup. Let me know if I answered your questions.

[@gisellecarvajal6048]

Yes thank you. We hadn't put it because we had seen that a craft, not sure if it was sublimation, once you use it for that purpose, it shouldn't be used for food any more

[@kendramiller1410]

When you use htv do you have to mirror the image when you cut?

[@ioufavors]

Yes mirror image.

[@ShroomyF41r1y]

Shiny side up?

[@sxyroc26]

When using any HTV or iron-on always place the vinyl on mat shiny side down

[@shellymartinez7806]

Is that iron on vinyl and was that a regular oven

[@ioufavors]

Yes this is iron on vinyl. I used the Cricut Easy Press Mini.

[@blackhatquilter65]

Do you have to seal it with anything so it can be washed?

[@ioufavors]

I just put it in the oven for 5 minutes and it sealed with more heat. I have washed mug several times. No problem.

[@phenri07]

Hand wash or dish washer ?

[@blackhatquilter65]

phenri07 both

[@catdeeann]

What kind of vinyl did you use?

[@ioufavors]

Siser HTV I believe. If not Cricut brand.

[@leatherneck8193]

I tried this with the mini but I got the glue around my letters any advice

[@rosyisGREAT]

Did you try cleaning it with the alcohol?

[@ioufavors]

Using alcohol before heating class. Also when you apply htv on mug, wait a few minutes and reapply alcohol to remove adhesive residue.

[@susansomaliland1]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@ioufavors]

Thank you!

[@omayraministry]

What brand vinyl.

[@ioufavors]

I used Cricut brand. Love their products.

[@nancyvazquez7767]

Where can I get the template you are using. I Love it.

[@ioufavors]

Thanks. I got it from lovesvg.com In the search put Woman Building Craft Empire.

[@bhavyamalik6079]

Does the color of the HTV Vinyl matter?

[@ioufavors]

You can put any color htv vinyl you want.

[@sierratyson9117]

Should I seal these with epoxy? I don't want to put those in my oven

[@ioufavors]

You can seal with epoxy. Just make sure it's not toxic because you have to drink from mug.

[@sierratyson9117]

Okay. Thank you!

[@ioufavors]

@@sierratyson9117 You're welcome 😊

[@mjoseermatcas]

I thought you could only use sublimation mugs… so the dollar store mugs will do?!

[@ioufavors]

Sublimation mugs uses special paper. In this video I use heat transfer vinyl. Dollartree mugs works great with htv. If you want I can make a sublimation mug video. Let me know.

[@mjoseermatcas]

@@ioufavors yes please!! I would really appreciate it!! 🥰

[@ioufavors]

@@mjoseermatcas Oh okay. Video coming soon.

[@bettyjackson1363]

Can you do the same on Wine and Champagne glasses?

[@ioufavors]

I will try it out and let you know. Because wine glasses are not as strong as coffee mugs. If it works out I will create a video and post it.

[@sophiewillis1994]

@@ioufavors did it work?

[@ioufavors]

@@sophiewillis1994 instead of using easy press get a heat gun and let it stay on htv for a minute. It works that way.

[@nazmontoya]

So you don't actually need a sublimation mug?

[@ioufavors]

@@nazmontoya You can do it as sublimation, but you don't have to. This way still works. I still have my mug and it's still in great condition.

[@victoriasalazar7134]

Is this HTV Iron on vinyl?

[@ioufavors]

Yes it is.

[@iteachmyoung]

Is there an easier app to create these things...? I currently have "Cricut Design" Seemed a little overwhelming. I am new at this :/

[@ioufavors]

Sorry for replying late. I use Cricut as well. For a more detail instructions email me at [e-mail] Or DM me on social media @i.o.u.favors I am willing to share what I know.
