Cricut Infusible Ink Coloring with Pens - Make a Mandala Totebag!

Get the FREE mandala design made just for the Infusible Ink pen (Design #154) at jennifermaker....
Cricut's Infusible Ink can bring your next coloring project to life in a fun and permanent way! Using an Infusible Ink pen, you can draw a design, color it in with more Infusible ink pens or markers, and then transfer the design permanently to a totebag, t-shirt, coaster, and more! In this tutorial, I have my Cricut draw a beautiful mandala with the black pen, then color it in with the pink and purple pens, finally transferring it onto my totebag so I can appreciate my hard work for always!

I teally have to step outside my comfort zone and stop just watching and start doing. You give us so many awesome ideas!

[@JenniferMaker]

You must try! So many fun things to make!

[@lucaslegz]

briante92 I’m so scared to start anything. Lol

[@1111MMC]

Me too!! I have soooo many "filed for later" things in my head!! I'm overwhelmed with the speed at which everyone creates! My use with my Cricut machines has been so sporadic. Maybe I should just make a sign that says "Leap Out Of Your Comfort Zone"! 😬😳

[@tonyalucz7226]

Can't wait to use my Cricut Maker that I got from husband & kids as an early Christmas present!

[@erinrodriguez2669]

LOVE mandalas and I actually enjoy drawing them by hand!

[@vondascreations-vondagray4113]

Such bright vivid colors!

[@JenniferMaker]

I LOVE infusible ink! :)

[@ilenehodges4074]

Fabulous mandala design & tutorial!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! :)

[@AnastasiaBlue1230]

I'm amazed at the result of course - it's stunning - but I'm mostly floored that you created your own mandala! Wow! ...also, couldn't we say that wine is the word for most days? 🤔😉😁🤣

[@nancybaldin5858]

Love the mandala design! And wine is perfect word for the day!

[@sabravanname4041]

Love it!!

[@jaysulsona7202]

Can't wait to make this. I love Mandalas

[@JenniferMaker]

Watching the Cricut draw always amazes me. I never which way it is going to go next. Love the Infusible Ink pens and markers.

[@JenniferMaker]

They are SO fun!

[@SouthernAngelful]

Jennifer I love all your videos. They are very informative.

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Happy to help!

[@pattiparrish3285]

AWESOME! Going to have my 2 granddaughters color a picture (no design) for their mom and place on a t-shirt for her!

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great idea! 🌸

[@teresascarberry9381]

I am so amazed how this turned out. Thank you for all you do for all of us. This is so beautiful...

[@stacey444]

[@kathyvandeest8601]

The mandala is gorgeous!

[@imahull]

oh my goodness! What a cool idea! This is why I'm thankful for people like you, because I don't think I would have ever thought to do something like this with the pens on my own! Now if I could only afford to get the pens and an easy press, etc! lol. Anyways, thank you for another awesome video! So far I have loved all of your videos! :)

[@JenniferMaker]

Haha! Right? One supply at a time! :)

[@blulevison4302]

The infusible ink projects are amazing! So 'next level'!

[@lisagraves8520]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help and these videos. I am new to Cricut and totally a beginner. Your videos are concise and slow enough for me to follow. Bless your heart because your directions are so clear. I’m totally hooked now and have been having a ton of fun making projects🌻

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! Thanks for being here!

[@marylastinger9086]

Jennifer, it was so fun to try this project at last. Thank you so much for the free mandala design. My tote bag came out great. Just slightly light in spots and less vibrant than your bag but still pretty. I can't wait to experiment with the infusible inks some more! It's really rewarding to have a usable item that I can be proud of on my first ever attempt with infusible ink and the Easy Press 2. Thanks again!

[@JenniferMaker]

Great job! 😃 You are so welcome!

[@susancollins4864]

Very nice! I like all of the mandala type designs, especially the elephant design.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes...mandala elephants are so beautiful!

[@sarahweisman6390]

I love how great these pens look on the Cricut tote bags!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for the tip, 80 seconds rather then 40econds. You're awesome!

[@lunasmum6869]

I love this! My favourite colours. I can't afford an Easy Press so I will have to save up which may take some time. So, I can look forward to making this. Mean time I can look around for a suitable bag to put this mandala on, or I could make one!

[@sylviaklotz3221]

I love the colours of infusible ink markers!

[@JenniferMaker]

They are so vibrant once heat is applied!

Looks Great! I'd definitely wine a bit with all that coloring!

It really is that easy!

[@mojo2613]

Wow...I was thinking wow, about an hour to draw it out, but then 3 hrs to color!! Yikes! But it's beautiful!! So, you drew the design with 'pens', but colored in with 'markers'? I only ordered markers, which just arrived today! Want to try it, but now wondering if I should've gotten pens too...

[@montanna2113]
