How to Sublimate Mugs the Easy Way: 3 Ways + 3 Styles, including Full Wrap!

Learn how to sublimate mugs safely AND create designs for them!

When I started crafting, I had no idea I'd ever learn to make something so cool. Making mugs that look like something you'd buy in a store? Even better: custom mugs? How neat is that!? I've shared some of my basic mug tutorials with you already, but today I'll show you how to sublimate mugs from design, to print, to press! I'll walk you through creating three styles of mug wraps, customizing them, and then using the slice tool in Cricut Design Space to make them the perfect size for your item. I'll share all my tips and tricks from start to finish, using free gorgeous floral designs I created just for you.

Thank You Jennifer! Another fun project to try 🙂 Update: So I tried the air fryer method because I cannot justify $199 for a machine that does just one thing. I bought an air fryer at the thrift store today for $15.99 (so I can dedicate it only to mugs) and it worked! I actually used a sublimation cup from Michaels, used my infusible ink markers on 24lb copy paper, taped it up good and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much Jennifer for this information. I am totally amazed!

Thank you, Jennifer, for showing me that you can sub under the handle!! That always bugged me -- now I know how to do it. And THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Sublimation Cookbook that I WON during the workshop a couple weeks ago! I absolutely LOVE IT 💖💖💖

I just recently got into sublimation and I'm very excited for another jennifer maker video

[jnjhawaii]

I love the print that goes around the handle. Such a great teaching ❤

[gesilaferreira]

Can't wait to try sublimating in airfryer. As usual, you are the "go to person" when doing research on new crafts... You explained everything so well. Just want to check: Do you need to turn the mug in the airfryer during the process?

[tracybevil]

Awesome! I always learn something from your classes.

[sandysleft-handedcrafts]
