Did you know you can use heat transfer vinyl on mugs?! Learn how to apply HTV to a ceramic mug so you can personalize and customize it however you'd like!
Clean the mug with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt and grease from your fingers. Once it’s clean, try to avoid touching the mug anywhere other than the handle.
Using your Cricut or Silhouette, cut out your design on a piece of heat transfer vinyl.
Turn the iron on and set the heat to the cotton or linen setting (about 400-425 degrees F).
Weed away any extra vinyl and position the design on your mug.
Place your dishcloth over the heat transfer vinyl and press down with your iron in one single spot for about 10-15 seconds until the vinyl is really well stuck.
Press the iron down for 10-15 seconds in a new spot that isn’t stuck down yet. Continue until the heat transfer vinyl is attached to the mug everywhere. Depending on how rounded the exterior of your mug is, you may have to do this a bunch of times. Peel away the clear plastic backing and you’re done!
