Making a Tumbler in the Cricut Mug Press: 5 Mistakes to Avoid!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 มี.ค. 2021
- We’re just getting started with the Cricut Mug Press, but we’re already floored at how well it sublimates mugs and tumblers. To be honest, we almost didn’t buy the Cricut Mug Press, as we thought it only did heat press on mugs (and we already have too many mugs). But once Sheesh So Crafty showed the world that you can actually sublimate skinny tumblers in the Cricut Mug Press as well (link to her video below!), we decided to buy one and see if we could sublimate skinny tumblers in the Cricut Mug Press. And it works!
However, we did make quick a few mistakes on our first couple of tumbler presses in the Cricut Mug Press. So in this video, we show you the mistakes we made with the mug press so you don’t make them as well. We also show you one full, good skinny tumbler press in the Cricut Mug Press to show you how to do it the right way.
We hope this helps you push the possibilities with your new Cricut Mug Press!

I recently bought a Cricut mug press. After pressing a couple of handled mugs I decided to try a short metal tumbler & found that it worked well in the mug press. I was going to experiment on some small skinny tumblers but wasn’t sure exactly how to approach it. Your video is extremely helpful. You’ve probably saved me considerable time & money! Thanks!
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We’re glad it’s helpful! Happy crafting! 😄
Watched this tutorial again and finally tried a skinny tumbler in the mug press! Thanks for the awesome tips!! I had just a little ghosting on the top and bottom but pretty good for my first go at it! Thanks so much!
Oh yay! Congrats on doing your first tumbler!!! 😄
First-time watcher. Thank you for showing the mistakes as well as the great finished product. Can't wait to check out more of your videos.
Thanks for watching! We’re so glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
This is the best video hands down!!! By watching this video I will pick my mug press back up and try again!!! Thank you so much and happy crafting
Oh thank YOU so much for saying this. ❤️ Happy crafting to you, too!
This is my first time watching y'all and you're great! I really appreciate everyone of your tips and you're the only ones I have seen give some of them. For your bottom circle you could always cut it out of a thin piece of silicone, grill mat or teflon sheet for a more permanent use. I can't wait to see more of your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for the kind words! And that’s a great idea to have a more permanent cover for the bottom plate - we didn’t have a thin enough piece to use when we made the video, and your comment reminded us to go buy one. 😄
I’ve watched a few videos on tumblers in the mug press and this is the most helpful one I’ve seen. Thank you!
Oh thank you! So glad you found this helpful. Happy subbing! 😄
My mug press will be here tomorrow and I’m so excited to get started. Thanks for the tips!
So exciting! You’re going to have so much fun with it. It’s a great little machine!! ☕️
Thank you for doing this video!! I just got a Cricut mug press and started my sublimation journey. I just made two personal tumblers with it today and they came out so good because of your video!
Oh YAY! That’s awesome. Thanks so much for letting us know. Sublimation is so much fun. 🤩
That’s pretty cool! Never knew those machines existed! Nice video guys!
Thanks Austin! They just came out a couple of weeks ago. ☕️ We love it!
I love how honest you are in your videos! That is exactly what I need - to learn what not to do. Thank you - I found this very helpful! Oh and by the way, I love your dog!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! We’re glad this is helpful. We’ll send your love to Roadie as well! 🐶
Awesome video!!!! Thanks for doing all the hard work for all of us!!
We're so glad it's helpful! Happy subbing. :)
Very good advice. Getting ready to use my Cricut machine for the time with tumblers. Thank you!
We’re so glad it’s helpful - thanks for watching and leaving us this sweet note. Good luck with subbing your tumblers!

Really cool way to make this tool more flexible. Keep up the great content.
Thank you!!! We’re excited about trying even more sub blanks with it! 😉
You two are awesome, thank you so much ❤. I just subscribed to you, I just bought my my printer, Cricut mug press, Cricut Joy and a bunch of stuff to start making stuff. I can't wait to get started. With your help, I'm sure I'll do good, thanks again.
Oh yay! We’re so glad that you enjoy our videos and find them helpful! Congrats on getting all of those great crafting tools - you’re going to have so much fun! 😄
Awesome video and some great tips for anyone who would be doing many of these. Love the pineapple mug at the end and those glamour clips. 🍍
Thank you! We’re so happy with how everything turned out. 😃
That was super cool. I have never heard of a mug press before, much less that Cricut makes one. I am soooo intrigued that I have tons of questions I want to research now. :-) Great video as always. You two have such great chemistry!
Thanks! The Cricut Mug Press just came out a couple of weeks ago. We weren’t going to pick one up originally but HAD to once we knew it could be used for more than just mugs. We are thrilled with it - favorite new toy for sure!
I love my mug press

Thanks for the tutorial so much. I had watched hundreds of videos and tried two 20oz tumblers before watching this and ruined them. Watched this video tried again... came out almost perfect! Thanks again.
Oh yay! We’re so glad to hear that these steps worked for you! Happy crafting 😄
Love love your channel ! So helpful and real straight to the point ! Love that ! Do you have a video on how to sublimate using the mug press? This one is great on what to avoid and extremely helpful ! Do you have a video on how to do this correctly ? Again, I love your channel, most helpful I have found !
Thank you SO much! We’re so glad you’re here!
We show a regular mug being pressed in this EcoTank conversion video (starting around 4:15): th-cam.com/video/OfBydn1XPaA/w-d-xo.html

You're welcome. 'll see.@@JustMightDIY
Nice job you guys
Thank you! 😃
Thank You❣️ soooo much
Thank YOU for watching!
Cute couple! Wonderful presentation! I have the mug press, just purchased the Epson 2720 I have the sublimation paper and now I know I do not have to purchase a convection oven! Thanks
Thank you so much! Congrats on getting your printer and sub paper! Which sublimation ink did you get for your printer? We got the Cosmos ink and love it!
Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. :)
I have seen a lady didn't use silicone things she just use but her paper and hers came out great
Thanks for watching! Different tumblers require different techniques. 😉
thanks I will be using this method
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
@@JustMightDIY ill come back and let you know how it goes...
We can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
Thanks!
Thank YOU! We appreciate the support!
This so cool I was wondering about the tumblers
Thanks! We can’t wait to experiment more with them. 😀
Thank you
You're welcome! :)
Hi both, Great video. I don't have a Cricut but still enjoyed the video which ahs great points in it. Take care both. Cheers, Huw
Thanks! We’re glad you like it and appreciate the comment. 😃 Cricut machines have been such a great addition to our DIY tools - we highly recommend!
@@JustMightDIY Hi JZ & Daniel, I have just looked at Cricut machines here in the UK and they are just under $500 for the one I found. Too much for me to pay for something I probably wouldn't use very often. Looking forward to your next video. Take care both. Cheers, Huw
That makes sense. The larger ones are an investment, but they do have smaller ones (the Joy). Here in the U.S., there are also a lot on the second hand market that can be found...if you ever get the urge to try one out. Either way, happy DIYing!
@@JustMightDIY👍🙏
Awesome 😎
Thanks!
Great DIY Tips! First time I ever watched one of your videos! I purchased a Mug Press 3 days ago and still have NOT unboxed it! I'm nervous about getting started 😬
Oh yeah, I love that you showed the mistakes!!! That makes your demonstration "real" for us crafters. You see, we learn from mistakes. I LEARNED A LOT! And your darling little pup is so cute 😍
You are SO kind! Thanks so much for watching. 😀It took us a couple of days to take ours out of the box as well, but once we did, it was so much fun! You're going to love it. And yes - mistakes are all a part of the process of working with something new. We try to be honest with our experiences and are SO glad that you got a lot out of the video. Let us know how things go with your mug press! 💙
For the ghosting at the top I place a wooden skewer to hold the tumbler up. And it works perfectly. I have noticed the cricut infusable ink doesn't work so I only do sublimation ink when doing the tumblers. Also your suppose to remove that silver sticker from the bottom of the tumbler.
All good tips! Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Awesome
Thanks!
I am allergic to pineapple but i love how good became your tumbler💪🏼🤣
Oh sad! Sorry to hear you’re allergic, but we love hearing that you like how it turned out!
Love this video, I will be trying it. My question is "did you have a seamline after you finished the tumbler in the heat press?
Hey! Thanks for watching and for your question. The seam on this one looked really good!
Your excitement was awesome cool project. You said you bought the image does it have to be a special print?
Thanks! So glad you liked the video. Yes - we converted the Epson EcoTank 2720 into a sublimation printer (using special sublimation ink). We also printed the image on A-Sub paper, which is special paper designed to soak up more ink than regular paper, so you get more vibrant presses. :)
congrats on you success on this video!! right on!!!
Very cool! Now make me some Grant Alexander ones ;)
Haha - thanks! We’re in awe of this little machine. 😊
I absolutely love your videos! I did everything in your video for the 20 ounce skinny tumblers and my tumblers their colours don’t seem to be vibrant. I am using an Epson 2800 sublimation printer, and hippo sublimation ink. I don’t know what I can be doing wrong? I have watched other videos where people leave the tumbler in for three minutes and 20 seconds and only turn it twice. Any tips on why my tumblers may not look vibrant? Thank you so much!
Hey! We’re so glad you like our videos! Are you using a high quality print setting? And what kind of paper are you using?
As for the length of time, we’ve found that this amount of time works well - if you leave it in too long, you can overlook the sublimation, which will affect the color.
Hi, thank you for this awesome tutorial. I am very new at this a little hesitant. Your tutorial has helped me to understand how to sublimate tumblers. I have one question, with the 20oz tumblers do I have to leave the space at the bottom of the mug press open? Or can I place it all the way down in the mug press? Also when I turn it each time I must adjust the silicone, correct?
Hey - we’re glad this tutorial is helpful! When your tumbler is upside down, don’t put it all the way down over the plate at the bottom - that will cause ghosting at the top rim of your tumbler. Make sure that it’s higher than the plate at the bottom of the press. As for the silicone, we keep ours in the same general position and rotate the tumbler instead. Happy subbing!
@@JustMightDIY Ok. So just to be clear that means when the tumbler is upright I place it all the way down, but when it is upside down I don't put it all the way down over the plate at the bottom? I apologize if this is a silly question. I am so new at this, just trying to understand the process. Thank you in advance for your patience with me.
Hey! That’s not a silly question, and we’re happy to help! You are absolutely correct on that. When your tumbler is upright, you can sit it on the plate (just be sure to cover the plate with something so it doesn’t scratch the bottom of your tumbler as you turn it). Then when you flip the tumbler upside down, don’t put it all the way down over the plate - you’ll get ghosting on the rim. You’ve got this!
where did you get the sublimation tumblers? Really looks great
Thanks! We got them locally at Champion Crafter Supply - there’s a link in the description. If they’re sold out, search online for 20 oz sublimation tumbler, and just confirm that they have straight sides (not tapered). Happy DIYing!
Cool
Thanks!
Thanks great video.Very helpful. Do you have to mirror the images to sublimated? I want to do one with words. First time that I'm going to try sublimation
Hello! Yes - be sure to mirror your sublimation images before printing. Happy crafting!
@@JustMightDIY thank you 😊
Infusible ink paper sheets from HTV work amazing I’ve been making 20oz tumblers in a Cricut mug press using these kinda sheets and they always turn out great, only mistake I ever made using them is leaving them in the mug press to long and then they will turn out like that one just like it, less time I think it would have turned out great. 4 mins each side max I also use silicone wraps.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing and for watching. Happy crafting!
Seems like a lot of work but thanks for sharing. I think regular mugs are cuter than tumblers anyway. Maybe I'll try a smaller metal mug though
Thanks for watching! It is a bit more work than other methods, but if this is the o Lu machine someone has, it might be worth it! If you’re interested in some other cups/drinkware that works with this machine (that aren’t tumblers) check out this video: th-cam.com/video/IVzwTAaI0FY/w-d-xo.html
Happy crafting!
Try a small wine tumbler. Great video
Ooh good idea! Thanks for watching.
I used my mug heat press that came with my heat press when making tumblers with infusible ink tumblers. I had to press the top and bottom sections separately and turned occasionally w/in 5 mins each half and the color was even both ends. I did have blotches on a couple and the ink ran some covering up apart of the letter A in the design. Frustrated with seams and ghosting on the very top and bottom.
TH-cam asked me to rate one of your videos. Obviously I rated it 5/5. Hope it helps. 🙂
Thank you! We appreciate that SO much!
I just did my first sublimation mug today and it turned out perfect. Thank you for all your videos. Just curious, did you ever try to sub a enamel camping mug?
Woo hoo! We love hearing that. We’ve used a variety of sublimation blanks in our 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐭 Mug Press. Check out our sublimation playlist for more!
Great thanks! I am confused when you say 60 seconds each side. Do you not just wait for the lights to get to the end and stop?
Hey! We use a watch/phone to time the 60 seconds. The lights are way longer than that on the mug press. Hope this helps!
Cool. Thanks for sharing. What is that large machine behind the young woman? Color laser printer all-in-one?
Thank you for watching. Yes, that is a dual side color laser printer/copy/scanner fax machine. By cannon
@@JustMightDIY When you're ready to move up in laser printers to wide format laser printers for CMYKW, fluorescent toners, and lots of other cool features check out their lineup:

What about your starcraft mug attachments, could tumblers work with those?
Hey there! We haven’t tried, but theoretically you could use one of the straight sided mug attachments. Hope this helps!
What if you have a silicone wrap that fits around the whole tumbler so you don't need to use any insert, no rotations except for flipping the top. How long should you leave in mug press before flipping the top?
Hey! We haven’t tried this method so we can’t comment on the time. Just make sure that the entire surface of the design is getting direct heat.
I see your pineapple image is upright! I only recently learned what an UPSIDE DOWN pineapple signifies! 😳 lol
😆 I had to look that up. We are definitely not doing upside-down pineapples. Not that kind of channel lol 😆
Wow it sure came out beautiful! I don't know much about this, but isn't there a way to remove the designs on the first two fails so you don't lose your cups?
Hey! We haven't looked into trying to remove or cover up the designs just yet. We may try a cover up vs. a removal, as that will likely be easier. But if we do figure out removal, we'll be sure to come back here and let you know!
@@JustMightDIY you can place the tumbler in an oven at 400 for 1 to 1-1/4 hours and the design fades out. Then you can sub a dark design. If that’s not to your satisfaction, use it to make a regular epoxy tumbler.
@@sharonbrown7715 Hey there! We did end up figuring that out after a while and even have a video now showing how to Unsub/resublimate. SO glad it’s possible to re-use messed up tumblers! Thanks for watching and for sharing the tip. 😉
Looks so good!! Where did you find your design??
Thanks so much! We found it on Etsy! Other sites, like DesignBundles also have skinny tumbler sublimation graphics.
@@JustMightDIY ok thx you so mich
Apply the insert close to the opening, it will prevent the burning of the cardboard, add parchment paper at the bottom,
Thanks so much for the tips! We actually prefer silicone for both - more longevity of the materials!
What is the size you cut the paper for the tumbler???
This is a bit tricky to answer. We can say that the image itself was printed at 8.2" wide x 9.3" high. We left extra white on the paper on the top and bottom to allow for taping. We trimmed one of the sides flush with the design and left a little extra on the other side to allow for a slight overlap at the seam. Hope this helps!
So, for the first press with a 20oz, you let it go the full time but then after for each turn you spin it at 1min? Or, are you turning at 1min from the beginning?
We turn it after 60 seconds on each side from the beginning. 😉
I love the design on the yellow mug! Where is it from?
Thank you! We made that one ourselves. 😊
Any chance you would share, or sell?
Hey! We can’t share or sell the graphic, as we didn’t create it. However, here’s the link so you can purchase it: www.etsy.com/listing/981447589/glitter-pineapple-skinny-tumbler?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=glitter+pineapple+tumbler+svg&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1
Back the messed up ones off and do a dark image and then you didn't waste or use a vinyl wrap or use printable glow n dark htv to cover it up after you back image off no waste.
Hey again! Since we made this video, we did learn how to un-sub by baking the image off, but we do appreciate the tips! 😉
@@JustMightDIY figured you would as its was a little old just just in case I thought I add it. I was thinking about getting a mug press for me as the other tumblers press are heavy n big. I wouldn't be selling just for me as I like all sorts if cup even like for each major holiday and ect. And for my 8 year old. I've never made a tumbler but wouldn't mind trying im looking into doing glow n dark pen with images
Will you share the link for the silicone you used?
Hey there! Links to all materials we used are in the description! 😊
Can you tell me what size sublimation paper you used for your 30 ounce mugs on your EPSON 2720?
Hey! Great question - the Epson 2720 can't print large enough to do a full wrap from top to bottom on a 30oz tumbler (at least not the 30oz tumbler we have). To do a full wrap on one of those, you'll likely need to piece together a couple of either 8.5x11or 8.5x14 pieces of paper. When we tried (and failed) to do the full wrap on a 30oz tumbler here, we were using a Cricut Infusible Ink sheet (12x12), but we realized that those can't be sublimated in multiple presses. :)
If you wanted to add a name to one side of the tumbler, how would you do that? Would you print the name on top of the design?
We would probably incorporate the name into the design before it’s printed. We’ve heard that you *can* sublimate in layers (design first, then adding the name on top), but we haven’t tried that.
So it looks like the middle 1.5 to 2 inches of a 30 oz would never touch the heating element and probably would leave a band of demarcation where it doesn't transfer as well. Is that correct?
That’s correct. Because it doesn’t get the direct heat, you’ll have a noticeably lighter transfer and ghosting around that point.
@@JustMightDIY so then all of the transfers around the middle part of the tumblers will have a noticeable ghosting lighter part in ANY tumbler you make or is there a way to avoid having lighter areas in the center part of the tumbler? Thanks.
@@lindascraftsandthings915 Hello! With a sublimation print done on a printer (NOT Cricut's infusible ink sheets), you can get full coverage without a seam in the middle on the 20oz tumblers. It's the 30oz tumblers that get the seam.
I used the infusible ink.
The mug press is awesome!
Can you use this method with the bigger tumbler as well or is it too tall to do?
Hey! Great question. We tried to do a 30 oz tumbler that was 9.5" tall using this method, and there was about a half inch in the middle that didn't get subbed very well. Based on that test, we don't believe it's possible to do a full 360, top to bottom on a tumbler of that height. However, not all 30 oz tumblers are the same, so it's worth double checking the dimensions. Here's the video of the test if you want to see what we're referring to: th-cam.com/video/dCOUGOtOnCY/w-d-xo.html
So doing this today
Let us know how it goes!
@@JustMightDIY will do... I got my press Monday haven’t used it yet
It took us a couple of days to get it out of the box, too. 😉
