The Cricut Mug Press is crazy easy to use. This is the first mug I made with a traditional mug press ... a utter fail because I didn't press it long enough, because I didn't know I had to. This is the first mug I made with the Cricut Mug Press... it came out flawless. In fact, every mug I've made with the Cricut Mug Press has been perfect so far.

So how does the Cricut Mug Press work? It's SO easy. You just cut out a design with Infusible Ink, wrap your design around an Infusible Ink compatible mug, place the mug in the Cricut Mug Press, and press down on the handle. The mug press takes it from there, setting the temperature and pressure automatically. Five or six minutes later, the Cricut Mug Press beeps and you can take your mug out by the handle. After it cools 15-30 minutes later, unwrap your mug to see the amazing and vibrant color it creates.

The Cricut Mug Press features a safe design -- the plastic housing stays cool to the touch, the handle keeps your fingers away from the heat source -- very important! -- and the auto shutoff provides peace of mind.

I'm so happy about how easy this is to use! As crafters, the Cricut Mug Press is going to help us make SO many customized mugs and have them come out as good as, if not better, than what you find in the stores. And just think of ALL the GIFTS we're going to make for our friends and family ... even at the last minute. You can make everything from cute animals and inspirational quote mugs to monograms to colorful mandala mugs. This is truly a game changer and really lets us make thoughtful, personal gifts for a wide range of people .... I mean everyone loves a mug.

Hands down the best Cricut teacher on YouTube! 🙌🏻💖💖

[edithrozencrantz]

Jennifer truly teaches so well. She speaks slowly, pauses between subjects, and explains steps in enough detail. Thanks for being such a great teacher online.

It's Christmas and my sweet husband has gifted me with a Cricut mug press. So I'm back to watching Jennifer's videos. I started watching Jennifer's videos about four years ago when my husband presented me with a Cricut Explorer for my birthday. She is an excellent teacher - very easy to understand - and she started me on a totally new way of doing my card making hobby. Thank you very much, Jennifer. Now, with Jennifer's help, I'm off to play! Merry Christmas everyone!

If it hadn't been for Jennifer Maker's video I would have never understood with such clarity how design space works. Thank you Jennifer.

I was truly at whatever level is BELOW ground zero when I found your channel. Never considered myself especially crafty but you are a breath of fresh air in a sea of people who may be able to craft but don't quite have the skill or patience to teach at a beginning level. Because of you, I have gained the confidence to purchase my first Maker machine and just received my Mug Press today. I can't wait to deep dive into all of your wonderful videos. Oh, and did I mention I'm 68?

[JanisLewisPDE]

It's been over 3 years since you posted this, and I'm just now watching it. I got a Cricut Mug machine today, and followed all your advice and wisdom. I'm amazed at how lovely my mug came out. Thank you so much for including excellent detail in your video for newbies like me on how to make a beautiful mug. I appreciate you. God bless you.

They need to come up with one for tumblers

Who gives a thumbs down on a crafting video? Jeesh people get a life. This was a wonderful video

[jenniferselbrede]

After being ghosted by people who said they would work with me on printing my images so that I could sublimate them. I was concerned about the expense of buying a sublimation printer. After watching Jennifer's videos about the various printers, I decided to just go for it. I bought the Brother SP-1. Then I watched this video on using the cricut mug press that was gifted to me a few years ago. I just printed and pressed my first mug. Oh my gosh!!! No more waiting to see if the image was too dark or fuzzy. My first mug came out awesome. Thank you Jennifer for being so clear on your directions and recommendations. You rock!!

[PaleFireNat]

Does it only work with infusible Ink compatible mugs?

[rebeccawhisler]

Jennifer is amazing. I love how she speaks and shows what to do and pauses between subjects. Thank you so much.

[tessgb]

Thanks Jennifer I love your tutorials! I made my first mug using your design one with the hearts on the side and it came out awesome! I actually screamed 😂with delight coz it came out perfectly.

[mariepalmer]

Jennifer could you please advise me on how to put a design on the inside of a mug

[SIMLO]

Hi, Could you do a video using marker pens infusible ink? Thanks

[monevawalker]

So you have to use the mirror settings when making a mug

[shayfernandez]
