Yes! You give a step-by-step in a way that is understandable and easy to follow. You even tell people that they don't have to use a Cricut, if they don't want to. Please keep doing tutorials! Please.
Great tutorial, was wondering how to do this.. don’t know if anyone has mentioned microsol or microset it’s for waterslide decals makes the edge disappear and helps get rid of wrinkles and bubbles.
With that rainbow, could you put the white square behind it and slice? Then remove the outside of the square and flatten the inside? Would that work, or am I missing something? May I’m missing attach? Lol
Good Morning, I have a question concerning waterslide decals and sealing on a tumbler. I have a laser printer, laser waterslide decal paper, and ordered some white tumblers that are also sublimation tumblers (just happened to work out that way). I was wondering if I could oven cure these and do I need a completely separate oven to cure than my home oven? Is it the sublimation mug that gives off fumes or the actual sublimation print out (which I am not using). I know most people use epoxy but I'm not sure I want to go down that avenue just yet. I love watching your channel and is most definitely one of my "go to" for information and education.
Hi, I’m new to this type of crafting and had a question. I don’t have a craft oven, and I read that it’s not safe to bake these items in an oven that will be used for food. Would I be ok not to bake it, but to use the dishwasher safe mod podge on top instead?
I sprayed my waterslide decal outside with polycrylic and it bubbled! It’s in the 50’s today…I don’t know if that caused the bubbles or what happened! Any clue? Thank you! I just love your tutorials!❤
Great tutorial! Have a question: I did a glitter tumbler and sealed with epoxy. I want to put on a water slide and then bling the slide. Is it absolutely necessary to re-epoxy? Or, can I just bling over the slide when it's dry? My concern is that another coat of epoxy will make it thick and heavier. That with the rhinestones will be bulky. Is there a work around for this process?
You mentioned to use the matte tape in your video. I’m having trouble with my cricut reading the lines. Would I put the tape on the lines after I’ve printed my image
The cactus looks the same from the other side because it s transparent, if you printed on the white paper would you get the same image looking at the glass from the back?
So I've read different answers on the internet about the ink that needs to be used. So would I need a whole different printer with a different ink or can you use the ink in your ink jet printer and I also read that on the items that come in with food contact that they just need to be sealed with a food safe seal.
I love the little cactus guy. He’s so cute. I was wondering what the poly acrylic was for until you said the ink wasn’t smeared. Would the laser version have to have poly on it as well? Thanks for all the good info Angie.
If I am designing something myself for a coffee mug (9 oz) how do I know what to size my design to be to wrap around the mug- its a complete wrap minus space for drinking (top of mug) and space at the bottom and space from the handle on both sides. Doing mugs to match merch for my book
I have so much trouble not tearing mine. Do you think it’s because I didn’t put enough sealer on them or give it enough time to dry? I order the laser ones since it didn’t require the sealer but don’t want to waste anymore paper.
hi. how can i get it off the glass. i baked at 250 for 7 mins. but it cracked effect. i am trying vinegar to try to take off . any tips ? thank you. :)
Did not find the settings I was looking for, what kind of medium people select for waterslide decals because it's still not in Cricut / Design space :\
I’m not sure I understand what you used the Cricut for. I guess I need a tutorial for the whole process. Like starting with the image you used were you cutting the image out on water slide paper. I just simply don’t understand what your doing. Can anyone explain.
Most people say to bake at 230 for 10-15 mins. Does it matter that I have a gas oven? I know i have to adjust when cooking so im afraid it might crack. Doing a photo on to a plate
I’ve got a dumb question I’ve watched all these tutorials and it says if you bake in your oven with a craft such as this one you can never use your oven again is that true because if so what is the different alternative alternative
My guess would be the glossy surface. Spray with a matte sealer when you are sealing instead of a glossy one. Or cover the black lines with matte tape.
I have an Explore Air 2 and I get an error message when I try to cut Waterslide decals. You mentioned to use mat tape. Where exactly am I supposed to put the tape?
You mentioned its not dishwasher safe.what about handwashed? i tried this exactly the way you did. but when i washed it it just fell.what did i do wrong?
I have several of these sitting in my craft room to try some dishwasher tests on right now. I am waiting for a sealer to cure over the top. Did you wait the amount of time and bake yours? There should be times on your package and then it should have been hand wash safe. I am not sure if you could soak it in water or anything but you should be able to rinse it off without anything over the top.
@@AngieHolden yes i have the same brand paper you showed. the first time i did mess up. so the second time i made sure i did exactly what the instruccions said. does it depend on the mug? maybe its finish. i tried one from dollar tree and another from ross.
@@AngieHolden so how can they wash the glasses. I want to do these on wine glasses but don't want them to wash off when they wash their glasses. Is there a film or something to put over them other than modge podge?
I bought printable waterslide decal paper, printed on it then tried to put it in my cricut and the cricut nearly exploded (not really) trying to find the registration marks and refused to cut it and it threw off all the cuts of other projects.
That is because it is glossy. When you do the sealer, you can use a matte sealer and that usually fixes it. Or you can put matte tape over the black lines.
Correct. Because the paper is glossy. I would put the sealer on first so it is not shiny or go over the top with matte tape. The sensor is getting a reflection from the glossy surface and it can't see your lines.
Hi everyone, can I get some help? :/ I am having massive printing issues. My printer leaves scratch marks all the time and sometimes the print is totally unusable. My printer back feed uses wheels that make contact with the ink on the paper and leave marks, and my front feed keeps bumping into curved or elevated surfaces on the paper, scratching the ink. Does anyone know how this can be solved? Many thanks in advance :)
I have a bracelet watch that goes with mix and mingle...I need help figuring out what I need to fix it or ideas. It's for my mother please contact me somehow I can send pics please🙏💕
Thank you for reading 💖It doesn't have to be that brand necessarily I would like to put the watch piece on a new chain and I need help on how to go about doing so I have some match and mingle beads that decorate the chain
I, personally, am not fan of youtube tutorials over written ones the I can read as I learn; so if there is a page with the tutorial on it, send it to me. Thank you

You are a wonderful teacher, ideals are super, and your explaining is amazing. I love watching and learning from you. Thank-you so much.
Thank you so much!
My ink run off the paper in the water? What am I doing wrong. And I seal it
Great tutorial, was wondering how to do this.. don’t know if anyone has mentioned microsol or microset it’s for waterslide decals makes the edge disappear and helps get rid of wrinkles and bubbles.
I’ve been wondering what Waterslide Decals are. Thanks for showing us.
You bet!
Is there anything this girl can’t do? I’m obsessed with her! 😂
I was struggling before your video, thank you! Great explanation 😊
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you for all the tips and instructions!! Really cute designs too!!
❣🌈🌵❣
Thanks so much! 😊
Love these, it's like you read my mind, because I was just looking into trying water slide. Also love your top.
Yay! Thank you!
Your videos are always great. Easy to relate to. Very understanding.. I really appreciate this
Glad you like them!
With that rainbow, could you put the white square behind it and slice? Then remove the outside of the square and flatten the inside? Would that work, or am I missing something? May I’m missing attach? Lol
Oh yes! That would work! I didn't even think about that!
Great video. Thanks for the great information.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good information. Thanks.
Holy hell cry-cut is badass af
Very helpful, thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing as always, be blessed

Epoxy is the best sealing method. It is the sublimation process that gives off fumes. So the ink becoming a gas then fusing with the coating.
I love your tutorial omg 😱 love it 🥰
Thank you so much 🙏🥰
Glad you like it!
Angie I haven’t used my cricut just a little bit intimidated , plus I’m a little busy at the moment 🙃 .

You can let waterslides air dry for like 3 days and they are fine.
@@AngieHolden thank you! And thank you for the detailed video!
This looks so fun! I was just wondering what would be the advantage over sublimation if there is any?
I am working on a big comparison. It is definitely not as good as sublimation. But if you only have an inkjet printer, it is an option.
I sprayed my waterslide decal outside with polycrylic and it bubbled! It’s in the 50’s today…I don’t know if that caused the bubbles or what happened! Any clue? Thank you! I just love your tutorials!❤
I have not had that issue at all. Did you shake the polycrylic well?
When do you use the spray sealer I saw on your links for this video? You didn't show using that product. Love your videos!
Try 5:26 in this video.
Great tutorial! Have a question: I did a glitter tumbler and sealed with epoxy. I want to put on a water slide and then bling the slide. Is it absolutely necessary to re-epoxy? Or, can I just bling over the slide when it's dry? My concern is that another coat of epoxy will make it thick and heavier. That with the rhinestones will be bulky. Is there a work around for this process?
I don't know of a way to seal the waterslide to make it withstand wear/washing without the epoxy.
I’m going to try this now. Have you ever sealed a water slide with Mod Podge Dishwasher?
I have not...YET! I have some plans to test longevity!
Super cool video. I have a problem with my waterslide decals: they come off really easily after a couple of hours from laying down. Is it normal?
They stick pretty well I find until you get them wet again.
@@AngieHolden with well you mean they can be pulled off with a nail from the edge? Because that's what happens to mine (Hayes clear inkjet)
Thank you Angie!!
You are so welcome!
You mentioned to use the matte tape in your video. I’m having trouble with my cricut reading the lines. Would I put the tape on the lines after I’ve printed my image
Yes you would.
The cactus looks the same from the other side because it s transparent, if you printed on the white paper would you get the same image looking at the glass from the back?
No it would look white from the back.
wow, I love this
Thanks for watching!
So I've read different answers on the internet about the ink that needs to be used. So would I need a whole different printer with a different ink or can you use the ink in your ink jet printer and I also read that on the items that come in with food contact that they just need to be sealed with a food safe seal.
Water slides work with regular ink. I would use a food safe sealer.
Thank you for this video. Can I ask where you got the brush? Thanks
They were from Plaid but are several years old.
If I make the same decal like 12 on a sheet do I need to put box around each sticker or will duplicate do that automatically???thank you
You only need a box around them all and Cricut takes care of that for you.
great tutorial, can these decals be used in journals?
I have never used them on paper. You would need to get that paper wet.
This remind of the temporary tattoos we had as kids! I wonder if they're the same exact thing?
Pretty darn close! HA!
What printer do you use?
Do you ever experience any white lines or low quality prints?
Try this video: th-cam.com/video/3L3Dn5rkQ9A/w-d-xo.html
Love your video! Question: can we use ANY mug/cup/glass for waterslides?
Yes you can.
what a great guide! I wonder if I could print decals with a HP 4620? Like, how do I know which printer is capable of printing such photos? thanks!
You can use any inkjet printer with these.
@@AngieHolden So as far as you know, 4620 by hp will do fine printing color images on those special printing papers?
It should be fine.
@@AngieHolden I appreciate it a lot, will order the papers and use your guide :P
I love the little cactus guy. He’s so cute. I was wondering what the poly acrylic was for until you said the ink wasn’t smeared. Would the laser version have to have poly on it as well? Thanks for all the good info Angie.
I don't have a package of the laser version but it will say on the back if you need to seal. Most likely yes you do.
If I am designing something myself for a coffee mug (9 oz) how do I know what to size my design to be to wrap around the mug- its a complete wrap minus space for drinking (top of mug) and space at the bottom and space from the handle on both sides. Doing mugs to match merch for my book
I would use a sewing tape measure to measure the size.
Great tutorial Do you set you cups and glasses on anything when you back them such as a cookie sheet or just put them on the wire rack in the oven?
I have a small craft oven but I just put them on the rack in there.
You can also put water slide decals on wood.
I think it should work. You would probably not bake it though. Just let it air dry.
I have so much trouble not tearing mine. Do you think it’s because I didn’t put enough sealer on them or give it enough time to dry? I order the laser ones since it didn’t require the sealer but don’t want to waste anymore paper.
Maybe not enough dry time? I didn't use any other brands but I am wondering if there is a difference there.
Thank you for this precise tutorial.
You're very welcome!
Are the mugs a Sublimation mug or just a reg mug you can get at Dollar store or Walmart
Water slide can be used on any mug.
How secure are these. For example, could you scrape that off with your fingernail if you really tried to, or is pretty solid?
Try this: th-cam.com/video/k88sTUTzFhE/w-d-xo.html
hi there! is there a specific file that we can use for waterslide decal? png or svg? Thanks for sharing this video
PNG or JPG would be better but you can flatten an SVG and print it as well.
Hi! Are you using regular printer ink to create your decals or speciality ink ?
Regular printer ink.
Do you put the paper in face down? I have the same printer that you have.
The HP Printer you put the paper in face down.
Where can you buy premade water slide decals to trim things like picture frames and mirrors?
Not sure. Sorry.
hi. how can i get it off the glass. i baked at 250 for 7 mins. but it cracked effect. i am trying vinegar to try to take off . any tips ? thank you. :)
Can you just soak in water?
Did not find the settings I was looking for, what kind of medium people select for waterslide decals because it's still not in Cricut / Design space :\
Try printable vinyl.
Are you saying to bake it just like in a regular oven or something special?
You can bake it in a regular oven. I have a small convection oven in my craft room I use for crafting.
Hi, I can place in a regular home oven to cure the glass?
I think it is fine with waterslide but I use a small table top oven in my craft room.
Thank you
So they're kind of like temporary tattoos. Can these be applied to plastic? Like Lego men?
Not sure!
I’m not sure I understand what you used the Cricut for. I guess I need a tutorial for the whole process. Like starting with the image you used were you cutting the image out on water slide paper. I just simply don’t understand what your doing. Can anyone explain.
I printed the image on a printer then cut around it with a Cricut. You can use scissors but the Cricut is more precise.
I’m curious about the spray sealer, it’s not food grade so if the cup was gifted, they would be putting their mouth on it to drink from
You have to keep it away from the top so your lips won't touch it.
Most people say to bake at 230 for 10-15 mins. Does it matter that I have a gas oven? I know i have to adjust when cooking so im afraid it might crack. Doing a photo on to a plate
I would follow the instructions on the water slide paper that you purchase. I am not sure about the gas oven though.
I’ve got a dumb question I’ve watched all these tutorials and it says if you bake in your oven with a craft such as this one you can never use your oven again is that true because if so what is the different alternative alternative
I have a dedicated convection oven in my craft room for projects. Just a small one that you can get fairly cheap on Amazon.
Can you put these on wood without having to bake it?
There are instructions for wood and you just let them sit longer to dry out. The baking is just to dry it out and remove the moisture.
Can the mug be washed in hands,will it be affected after washing
Try this: th-cam.com/video/k88sTUTzFhE/w-d-xo.html
My Circuit will not cut my water slides out. Any suggestions why it’s doing that?
My guess would be the glossy surface. Spray with a matte sealer when you are sealing instead of a glossy one. Or cover the black lines with matte tape.
I have an Explore Air 2 and I get an error message when I try to cut Waterslide decals. You mentioned to use mat tape. Where exactly am I supposed to put the tape?
Just regular scotch tape with a matte finish.
Where do I apply the tape? What are registration marks? I’ m a beginner and I have a lot to learn.
The registration marks are the black box around the outside when you print from Cricut Design Space.
How long after can they be washed, used, etc? Thanks
Try this: th-cam.com/video/k88sTUTzFhE/w-d-xo.html

I am also concern if it is not food safety, then when we put in oven to bake it, is it safe?
It does not release chemicals. You can let it air dry.
@@AngieHolden Thanks... Now I feel safer... will try it out today
would you put the glass in the oven as well to seal it?
You can bake these or allow them to dry. It doesn't really seal them from water, however.
@@AngieHolden so how can they wash the glasses. I want to do these on wine glasses but don't want them to wash off when they wash their glasses. Is there a film or something to put over them other than modge podge?
I haven't had good luck with these frankly. They don't last very long.
Is the clear gaze spray a sealer I can use?
I used an acrylic sealer.
Can you bake in Cricut mug press
No.
How safe the baking process? I am a chicken with oven and glass
This product is a really low temperature so I don't think there is any risk.
Could you put these on candles?
Oh I bet so! That is a great idea!
I wouldn't bake the candles though! Just let them air dry!
Hoping to make a first holy communion candle for my daughter 🤞🏻 thanks for the reply great video!
Instead of baking could you put them in a mug press?
I don't think so. The baking is at a low heat and basically dries them out.
Baking as in the oven in the kitchen?
You said bake it. Can I bake it in a regular oven?
You probably can with these but I have just a small counter top oven I only use for crafts.
@@AngieHolden thank you.
im rather confused, with laserjet water slide decals you dont need to seal them post print or am i missign somthing?
I have never used the laserjet version.
@@AngieHolden my mistake and thank you for your consice video
My image is printing the wrong color. I don't know what to do. Can you help me?
Sorry not sure why it would do that on these decals. Maybe something wrong with your printer.
Wow so it takes like 2hrs to make a mug?
what program and printer are you using?
I am using Cricut Design Space and an HP Photo Envy.
I bought printable waterslide decal paper, printed on it then tried to put it in my cricut and the cricut nearly exploded (not really) trying to find the registration marks and refused to cut it and it threw off all the cuts of other projects.
That is because it is glossy. When you do the sealer, you can use a matte sealer and that usually fixes it. Or you can put matte tape over the black lines.
@@AngieHolden this is without any sealer on it I have to draw over the lines with a black sharpie just to get it to read
Correct. Because the paper is glossy. I would put the sealer on first so it is not shiny or go over the top with matte tape. The sensor is getting a reflection from the glossy surface and it can't see your lines.
Can we use waterslide paper for creating temporary tattoos?
They make temporary tattoo paper that would work way better.
Can you wash the mugs?
This product does not last very long in my experience.
Can you use a regular oven??
I don't know that water slide puts out any fumes? I just always use my craft oven.
Do you print and finish ready to use decals?
No I don't sell any printed.
How heavy do you spray.
I did three light coats.
When I placed them.on the mug it came out in one hand wash. I did everything but still did not work. What am I doing wrong
Oh no! Did you bake them or no? How long did you wait before washing?
@@AngieHolden I baked waited 2 days before washing
Well that is a total bummer! I have some I sealed but I need like 10 more days then I can test them and see if they work better. Video coming soon.
@@AngieHolden should I do an epoxy after if so do u hv video
You can do epoxy! Try this video: th-cam.com/video/lw7c11-Orrc/w-d-xo.html
Why can’t you use your oven after doing a water slide decal??
You can. I have a small oven for my craft room however.
