Top Tip!
Mugs made with Infusible Ink in the mug press are dishwasher and microwave safe!


1

Start this project in the projects section of Cricut Design Space and click on the ‘Drawn Mug Set Up’ project. Choose the size of your mug and an edge design then click customise.


2

Next add your chosen drawn designs to the canvas from the image library and place these on the mug template. Remove the pen drawing visual guide by hiding it in the layers panel. Select the mug template and the images, and click attach, this will keep everything in place.


3

Load a piece of copy paper onto the mat, then load an Infusible Ink pen into the machine. Load the mat into the machine and allow the machine to draw out your project.


4

Next colour in areas of your design by hand using Infusible Ink pens. Add more hand-drawn elements if you like!


5

Secure the coloured design around a mug using heat resistant tape.


Wrap two sheets of butcher paper around the mug before loading it into the Mug Press. Push down the lever to start pressing the mug.


6

Once all of the lights are illuminated, remove the mug from the press and allow it to cool on a heat proof mat before removing the sheet to reveal your finished mug!
