Cozy Christmas Mug with Cricut for Beginners

1. Introduction: Welcome crafters and holiday enthusiasts. My name is Diana and I'm craft maker in the UG Ocean Studio. Today we have a wonderful project that will add a touch of personalized charm to your Christmas season. Creating your own I we Christmas mark with the help of your cricket machine. In this class, we're going to guide you through the process of crafting, cutting, and applying some unique designs to your mark. Making them perfect for gifting, or simply adding some holiday cheer to your warnings. Without hesitation, let's start creating not just a Christmas mark, but a piece of heartwarming art. 2. Design Space: Now let's set designs to the canvas. You can find them in the project resources, we can see that designs open in a large size. So we should change it. Click on the design itself and resize it like this. Now I'll change the color to the one I like. Whether to change color or not, it's up to you also need to attach the ball. Because if we now press Make it, the ball will split into the parts. Go back and click Attach. To make designs even more pretty, I decided to add offset to them. To do this, go to the offset tab and select the size that seals you. Then change the offset color to the white, and now it's ready. You can also duplicate designs to stick more on your car. 3. Materials and Cutting the Design: Let's go over the materials and cut in the design. First of all, of course it's high quality, water resistant and hissing winol weeding tools and scissors to trim the win a blank mark and don't forget about the transfer. Now your winel onto the cutting mat and let your cricket machine cut out the designs. I'll start with the white color. To create such crop, choose vinyl that says washable on the packaging since it will last longer in your everyday life. In most cases, it's better to wash such marks by hand. But the main advice is to leave the market for at least two days. Also give preference to a larger size rather than small ones, since the chance of being for love is much less. In the meantime, we start cutting the vinyl for the Gingerbread A. In all I like this project because it's quite easy in fun. And also it allows you to enjoy your favorite hot beverages in style during the holiday season A and the last sheet of vinyl fling onto the cutting net and start cutting. 4. Layering Vinyl Decals and Application: Remove the excess vinyl carefully with waited tools, leaving only your design. If you kept your cut out small, like I did. You may have some difficulty with waiting process, but it's a great practice. Don't forget to make a little check for remaining pieces. Inspect your design closely to make sure all unwanted vinyl pieces have been removed. Also, my recommendations is to work from the outside of the design towards the center, removing unwanted vinyl. If you're right handed, you can start within in the upper left corner. If you're left handed, then start with the upper right corner. But starting at the bottom may not be a good idea. What we will do now is layer our vinyl designs. First of all, cut a piece of a transfer tape to the size of your design or a little bigger, then place it over the top vinyl layer. In our case it's red. Then gently peel the backing of the vinyl, leaving the design on the transfer tape. Now put a transfer tape to the bottom layer. And you can leave it like that for a while. Repeat the same process with the rest of details. Please note that the white layer comes after the Gingerbread cut out itself and not vice versa. There also should be a ball in this p. But since it's so small, I decided that I will add it in the end. Also be careful because if you rush the process, you might end up removing the parts that should not be removed. Before you start, you need to clean your cup. Make sure it's washing dried. If you want, you can clean it with alcohol and cotton. Pat now center the designs on your mark and press it down, smoothing out any bubbles. Carefully pill up the transit tape, leaving your vinyl design on the mark and repeat with other details. There is also a hack that you can use when laying vinyl on curves such as smog or cup. This is a snipping method. This means you can make small cuts in the transfer tape using scissors without disturbing your wine. When working with curved cups, it's helpful to create small snips around the edges of the transfer tape. This will allow easier handling of the tape and in However, if the design is small snipping the edges, the transfer is not necessary. Remember, if your vinyl is heat curable, follow the manufacturer's instruction for baking or curing to make the design dishwasher safe. Finally, your DIY Christmas Mac is ready. Fill it with your favorite holiday drink and savor the season.
