I do appreciate this video, thank you. I do have one question I don't have an oven for crafting so I was wondering if I could put it loosely in my mug press?
Well done and very helpful! I was wondering if you tried using decal paper on wood? I have a home laser color printer and was thinking of putting decals on blank wood ornaments.
@@annhomer2667 I use a convection oven. However there are ppl using a regular oven. Thatsbhow many started.. Many people cure their cups that way. With sublimation I wouldn't do a regular oven though.. lol
@@liciayvette871 Thank you! All I have is the conventional oven, and I live in a small apartment. If it’s ruins a traditional oven, I may have to forego this craft!! I can’t afford to buy a small countertop oven, especially since I am not sure if I really like this craft! 👌☺️🙏
@@annhomer2667 If you don't have an oven to use, you can skip that part. I've done with and without baking with similar results. Waterslide is really fun to work with.
Hey Felicia! I find that drying time can vary based on things like coat thickness and weather conditions. So an hour could be too long for some crafters. As long as the coats are actually dry in between, you definitely don't want to spray your subsequent coats before the prior coat is completely dry. Thanks for sharing your experience! ---Becky
Hi there! That is totally up to you. If you are using a sealant, just make sure it's dishwasher safe! Mod Podge has a dishwasher safe sealant that is easy to use and available at all craft stores. Happy crafting!
Since it's Baked on the mug and not epoxied is it able to go in a dishwasher or freezer (IceCream)? How tough is it now that it's backed on.. 1 will wash off soon - 10 ain't coming off.?
Thank you for the tutorial! I just recently have discovered waterslide and am loving it! Do you know how well it will hold up? I obviously wouldn't put in dishwasher but wondering if it will hold up well with handwashing.
Hi Thomas! Yes, you can wash the mugs after the design is put on! We recommend hand washing though as the high temperatures from the dishwasher can fade the design over time. - Dawn
Hey Deborah! It's just a general rule that you don't want to mix craft baking with food baking. There could be fumes or chemicals that are released from the ink, the paper, etc. Always better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Great tutorial Becky! Question, is there a reason that you cant cut the bottom 2/3s of the paper off before spraying and thus be able to use it too later? Thanks!
Hey Whitney, not really other than my printer isn't very friendly with smaller pieces (probably just my printer though LOL). If your printer can do that, by all means, that's a great way to conserve your waterslide decal paper! Thanks for sharing! ---Becky
Thanks Becky I'm glad I came across your video it was so informative. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful project. If I wanted to add some rhinestone to this project will I cure the water slide first and than add the rhinestones?

Hi! Did you use white or translucent paper for your project? You said to be sure and not use white depending on your project... Just wanted to be sure I'm ordering the right thing. Can you get translucent so there is no border?
I love these videos but I am not into sublimation or watersliding...yet. One question I do have is where did you find that tripod cup holder you used when putting on the decals? Most people I see use a towel or put one side of the cups/mugs on a scraper tool or something. This would work sooo much better.
Hey Patty! I'm actually testing this out for longevity purposes, it's made from acrylic and we want to make sure it's going to hold up long term. But once it's available to the public I will let you know, it's coming from Craft Chameleon. ---Becky
Hey Lisa! This is from DecalPaper.com, they don't sell this anymore, but I have heard great results from several brands on Amazon, I would just check the reviews. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi there! We wouldn't recommend using waterside decals in the microwave. Waterslide decals should be handwashed only as well. If you need any help, just ask! We are here if you need us.
Greetings love this water slide decal video, it’s great!!! I have a project/question. I would love to lean how to make a logo decal for the bottom of my sublimation mugs/protects. Would water slide paper work? Can I put a sublimated mug into the confection over after sublimating it in my Cricut mug press? How would i use design space to print my logo on the water slide paper? Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Hello can you tell me what brand is a good brand or where did you get your oven from? Also would this method work for hp printers? I kmow sublimation works on this method. But can it also work on regular printers?
Hey Precious, waterslide decal paper is designed for inkjet and laser printers (no sublimation needed), so as long as you match your printer to the type of material you purchase, you should be fine. My convection oven (given to me as a gift, I think to encourage me to cook LOL) is De'Longhi brand, which is more expensive than what you actually need. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey, this video was super helpful! Thanks for sharing! I was wondering if you ever see the outline of the paper on the Ho Ho Ho part because you didn’t use a cutter? I tried doing this on a pot the other day and I could see where I have cut around my image. Do you have any advice on this? Thanks in advance
Hmmm, I don't normally have a line on a hard substrate, but sometimes on fabric. Tearing the edge helps, since it won't be a blunt edge to the paper, and if you're using fabric, a pressing pillow helps also. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I sure will, I haven't used it much as of yet but I will make it a priority to was it daily and see what the life expectancy is. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Question. If I want to add a waterslide decals to glass can I also put it in the oven? And is there another way to seal it? For example I want to add some to some stash jars. But they have a rubber seal so I wasn't sure if I should put it in an oven. So I was looking for other options to seal small 2 inch waterslide decals
Can the water slide decals be placed directly on spray painted tumblers and then into the convection oven for curing or will it burn? I am new to this.
I do not know, Elizabeth, I haven't used it on top of spray paint before and I haven't put spray paint in the oven, although it used to be popular before Epoxy took over the tumbler world. Sorry I can't be more help! ---Becky
I’m sorry if you have answered this already, but could the water slide decals be used in a cup press instead of an oven without destruction of the artwork?
My Vinyl Cut: You obviously sell your items. Do you have problems with using the decals on food used items. ex: ceramic cups? Or are your decals used on clothing items?
@@annhomer2667 I sell my waterslide decals to ladies that make tumbler cups and they seal it with epoxy, usually. They only put it on the outside of the cup so it doesn't touch their drink. I do sell htv transfers that go on clothing, but the waterslides would not go on clothing. Nothing I sell is safe for food. I hope this answers your questions.
Hi, thanks for the video! I have a question though. I want to put this on a stainless steel mug. To seal it and for durability, would you suggest baking it or can I use the dishwasher safe ModPodge or a coat of Polycrylic?
Hey Linda! I'm not sure that I would use this for a stainless steel tumbler unless I was going to cover with Epoxy or Crystalac. Also keep in mind that the silver from the tumbler will change the look of the decal if you are using clear waterslide. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles Thanks! I am having problems with the waterslide on them because there is a slight texture on the water bottles. The clear portions are visible due to small air bubbles.
I made a couple mugs with this, but after a few days, the decal starting coming off. I didn't put them in the dishwasher, or microwave. I did have hot coffee in them. What did I do wrong?
Hey Dani, unfortunately it's still not for sale. A vendor I was using provided it for testing and decided not to proceed with selling them. Sorry I don't have better news. ---Becky
You know, I'm not sure how the direct heat would affect the film. I don't think it's something that would work well, I think the waterslide would either melt or peel, but I could be wrong. Let me know if you give it a try! ---Becky
Hi there! Loved this video and looking forward to trying this out. I do have a cup heat press. Could I use that instead of the oven? If so, what temp and how long??
Hey Nancy, I believe waterslide is only available for inkjet and laser printers, I don't think it would work well with sublimation. But you can easily do this with sublimation mugs using a convection oven and shrink wrap. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Can you use the water slide decals on plastic cups (color changing cups) and how would you be able to seal it, if you can? Thank you .. I love your tutorials 💜
Hey Kathy! I don't think that Waterslide Decals will hold up well on plastic cups, but I have not actually tried it so I could be wrong. I definitely wouldn't try to bake a plastic cup, that sounds like a disaster (LOL). You may have better luck with a printable click sticker paper, especially the waterproof kind. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Audrey, I have not personally tried but I don't think you would have the same results. I'm not familiar enough with what waterslide is made of to know if it will absorb the ink when it is heated or not. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Brooklyn, I know crafters who have, but I don't know truly if it's safe or not. I would consult the manufacturer of the waterslide if you have more specific questions regarding using your home oven. Hope this helps! ---Becky
That is awesome! I bought waterslide a year ago just haven't gotten up the nerve or time to try it. Also do you have a video on sublimation, it sounds tempting...
Hey Henrietta! You should definitely jump into your waterslide, I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I do have lots of videos on Sublimation, I'll link you to my introduction video to give you an overview of what the process is. Hope this helps! ---Becky th-cam.com/video/Ns7macGAKwQ/w-d-xo.html
I have made a waterslode with this process, and after 2 washes the decal completely was gone. I hand washed and was very careful. Is there an extra step I can do to secure it on the mug better?
Hey Courtney, I would double-check the time and temperature for baking the decal on. If that part is accurate, I would reach out to the manufacturer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Amanda, I believe you can but I haven't tested it like I have these ceramic mugs. I may have to do some research on this before giving a definite answer. ---Becky
If you're going to use sublimation ink on a mug, you can't use a regular mug. The ink won't transfer. The mug has to have a special coating. I get mine from Amazon.
Thank you for the video, I also have had issues with the colors fading, and also the waterslide coming off during a washing. I did not bake the mug though. My question is, when using the waterslide on a glass say whiskey glass can that go in the oven as well?
Hey Tracy! I would think that your glass would be fine in the oven, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what a difference baking the mug makes. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I am having a lot of issues with washing off after gentle hand washing as well. I baked and sealed with a clear acrylic afterward thinking that would help secure it to the mug but alas they are still washing off.
@@cynthiacrivello9752 If you don’t have an oven, you can try using a hairdryer to heat the decal and help it set. Just be careful not to overheat the mug. Hope this helps! ☺️
Oh Andrea we are so sorry to hear that! We will be praying for you ❤️ If you want to start with something white vinyl and Cricut Joy would be the best option. Good luck with everything - Agata
Hey Cassy! So glad you enjoyed the video. So you will want to use white waterslide if you are putting your image on a dark surface, but the of course you will want to contour cut with your cutting machine so you don't have a crazy jagged edge. The cup holder is a prototype I am testing for Craft Chameleon, we're testing longevity so I try to use it for every project to make sure it'll hold up well over time! Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey there! I'm not sure, but I would think that paint pens would work well. I've used them on regular ceramic before and baked in the oven. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I haven't had any of mine was off, but you can give it a test wash if you are nervous. The biggest complication with selling them is that they don't put them in the dishwasher or let them soak. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Question: This can only be used on sublimation mugs, ceramic or glass? Some comments below mention it coming off after wash so i was wondering if this was due to not using sublimation mug.

Hi Carol! We are so glad we could help! Enjoy your day and happy crafting! - Dawn 🙂
Thanks for the video..Do you have to cure it if it’s on a ceramic ornament? I don’t have an extra heat source to use.
An hour is an excessive time for it to dry.. I do 10min each spray.. works great.. Great video for those just getting into Waterslide.
Thanks Felicia for the tip! What type of special oven do you use?

Will i be able to be putting it in a microwave?
Hi. Can i use a heatgun instead of the oven? I dont have oven right now
Do you have to bake it? What is the reason for the baking.
Still not food safe after cooking in the oven? Thanks for this tutorial! (:
Is it 250 degrees C Or F
Thankyou
Since it's Baked on the mug and not epoxied is it able to go in a dishwasher or freezer (IceCream)? How tough is it now that it's backed on.. 1 will wash off soon - 10 ain't coming off.?
If you use Your kitchen oven to bake on water slides on a coffee mug can you still use it for cooking food
Just got some waterslide paper and tested a mug - they are cured and can easily be scratched still - do you recommend epoxy like a tumbler?
I would add a thin coat of UV resin
Can I use with mug press?
Thank you for the tutorial! I just recently have discovered waterslide and am loving it! Do you know how well it will hold up? I obviously wouldn't put in dishwasher but wondering if it will hold up well with handwashing.
Yes it will
Can you use a blow dryer instead of the oven?
Can you dry it without baking?
Afer baking in the oven do you need to seal it again?
Can you wash these mugs after you put on the design and the cup is finished?
Hi Thomas! Yes, you can wash the mugs after the design is put on! We recommend hand washing though as the high temperatures from the dishwasher can fade the design over time. - Dawn
I am sure to have answered this. But is it dishwasher safe. Love the vid thanks
Unfortunately it is not dishwasher safe unless you use something to seal it - Agata
Hi! it looks grate. Please tell what type of ink was used and is it washable after cure. How long it will stay.
Is this a good alternative to sublimating mugs? How long do they last?
hi there, do u know, can I use these directions with my white toner ink & laser printer?? thanx a bunch, Wendy
To make it dishwasher safe, we would need to seal with dishwasher safe mod podge after baking and cooling right?
Very clear instructions n demonstration. I am much more inclined to try this technique now!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching!
Hallo what the spray you are use it l did know it ? I am so exsited to know that l wite you ..
Can I use a microwave instead of an Oven? Thanks for the great video.
No, unfortunately you cannot use a microwave. - Brittany
I’m a little confused about the oven. Do you need to buy a separate little toaster oven or one like yours, to use just for this project?
@K M That is my feeling too! Was loving until she said that a separate oven was needed! You sure couldn’t cure many at a time!!
The reply that went to KM was meant for Deborah Streb. Sorry for the confusion!
I’m still not sure of the answer. Is a separate oven needed?
Hey Deborah! It's just a general rule that you don't want to mix craft baking with food baking. There could be fumes or chemicals that are released from the ink, the paper, etc. Always better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Can you cut this on a Cricut? Any specific brand of Waterslide paper? Can I just use the regular inkjet ink in my printer?
Great tutorial Becky! Question, is there a reason that you cant cut the bottom 2/3s of the paper off before spraying and thus be able to use it too later? Thanks!

excellent tutorial ! Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hi! What can’t we do from crafting to food? In regards of the oven?
Hi there! I wouldn't use any vinyl products in the oven or put any of the decaled mugs in the microwave.
This is super helpful for making my own model decals
Glad I could help!
Thanks Becky I'm glad I came across your video it was so informative. Thanks for sharing. Wonderful project. If I wanted to add some rhinestone to this project will I cure the water slide first and than add the rhinestones?

Hey Nikki, the external dimensions are 19" x 17.5" x 12". Hope this helps! ---Becky
Your mug is awesome! I just bought that Santa! Thank you!
Hi thanks for a informative and well done video
Thank you for watching! 😊
Thanks for posting this. 😃
Hi Becky, I just wanna know if I can print using sublimation ink? Or it should be an inkjet printer ink? Sorry if the question seems dumb.
Hey Marie! I have not tried this using sublimation ink but the waterslide I used is intended for inkjet printers. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles thank you so much. Big help as I am on my baby step to printing. Much love 🥰
If you're going to use sublimation ink on a mug, you can't use a regular mug. The ink won't transfer. The mug has to have a special coating. I get mine from Amazon.
why can you not use the oven if you baked the item with the decal?
Thank you for the video, I also have had issues with the colors fading, and also the waterslide coming off during a washing. I did not bake the mug though. My question is, when using the waterslide on a glass say whiskey glass can that go in the oven as well?
Hey Tracy! I would think that your glass would be fine in the oven, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at what a difference baking the mug makes. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I am having a lot of issues with washing off after gentle hand washing as well. I baked and sealed with a clear acrylic afterward thinking that would help secure it to the mug but alas they are still washing off.
Can I water sublimate and than come back another day n out it on my convention oven
Hey Elizabeth, as far as I know that should be fine, but I haven't personally tried it. Hope this helps! ---Becky
what if you don't have an oven to bake it? is there another way?
@@cynthiacrivello9752 If you don’t have an oven, you can try using a hairdryer to heat the decal and help it set. Just be careful not to overheat the mug. Hope this helps! ☺️
Thanks for the video. Could you apply waterslide to glass and bake?
Hey Kim! Yes, you absolutely can! Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi Becky! Will this process work on a plastic cup? Love your videos! Never mind! I finished watching your video! Still love your videos😉
I've done it on a DT plastic water bottle. You just don't finish it in the oven, but otherwise worked well.
@@katbug2 thank you Becky!!!
@@katbug2 did the waterslide last after washing if not finished in the oven?
Mine have held up perfectly without finishing in the oven.
Can you use a heat gun to cure it instead of putting it in the oven
Hey Lisa! I'm just not sure, I haven't tried it that way. The heat wouldn't be very consistent, so the results may vary. Hope this helps! ---Becky
can you put these cups in microwave to heat stuff
Hey Mary, no, I don't think I would put a waterslide cup in the microwave. Hope this helps! ---Becky
What printer you used?
Oh Andrea we are so sorry to hear that! We will be praying for you ❤️ If you want to start with something white vinyl and Cricut Joy would be the best option. Good luck with everything - Agata
You are so amazing Becky! This was something I had been wondering about
Becky, what are the pros and cons between clear and white waterslide decal papers? Lastly, where did you find or make the cup holder?
Hey Cassy! So glad you enjoyed the video. So you will want to use white waterslide if you are putting your image on a dark surface, but the of course you will want to contour cut with your cutting machine so you don't have a crazy jagged edge. The cup holder is a prototype I am testing for Craft Chameleon, we're testing longevity so I try to use it for every project to make sure it'll hold up well over time! Hope this helps! ---Becky
can I use paint or marker on water slide decals? I want to add some small details like gold embellishments.
Hey there! I'm not sure, but I would think that paint pens would work well. I've used them on regular ceramic before and baked in the oven. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles Thank you, I'll try that. I was asking because I don't think that my test print was pigmented enough and I wanted to add some sparkle.
so can i handwash this? i just put mine in the oven and i’m nervous to give this to the customer if it’s going to wash off!
I haven't had any of mine was off, but you can give it a test wash if you are nervous. The biggest complication with selling them is that they don't put them in the dishwasher or let them soak. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Thank you love your videos!
Do you have a tutorial on how to outline using the cricut?
Hey Teresa, I sure do. Hopefully this is what you are looking for. Hope this helps! ---Becky

Question: This can only be used on sublimation mugs, ceramic or glass? Some comments below mention it coming off after wash so i was wondering if this was due to not using sublimation mug.
No she used a dollar mug this is regular ink for sublimation need sublimation ink
Is this decal dishwasher safe ?
I would not put mugs with waterslide decals in the dishwasher. -Brittany
