Supplies
To Do
Step 1: Create your design.
Open Cricut Design Area. You’ll be able to both create your individual design, select a unique tenting themed picture from Cricut design house, or simply customise the designs that I used. You will discover my two designs right here {you’ll simply have to open Cricut Design house first}:
I customized the tumblers with the identify of every particular person in our household so we don’t undergo so many cups on our tenting journeys. These ones will maintain chilly drinks cool for 12 hours and scorching drinks for as much as Three hours and have a lid on the highest to maintain bugs out!
To alter the identify on the design, you’ll want to focus on one of many designs, click on on “detach”, and then edit the identify ot no matter you desire to. When you’re proud of the scale and spacing of the brand new identify, spotlight the design once more and click on “connect”.
You can at all times add a reputation to the Journey Awaits design too if you want or add the design to 1 aspect of the mug and the identify to the opposite aspect.
If you happen to’re simply giving the mugs as a present, you possibly can add a big stainless-steel scorching/chilly water bottle and tuck in some connoisseur scorching chocolate packs and marshmallows into the mugs. It makes a cute scorching chocolate present set all by itself!
Step 2: Minimize your vinyl.
When you’ve finalized your design, click on “Make It” and select the no mat Good supplies setting. Test the picture structure on the preview might to make sure that every part is the best way you prefer it. Observe the prompts and place your vinyl within the Cricut Pleasure vinyl aspect up.
Step 3: Weed your vinyl.
Utilizing a weeding device, take away the surplus vinyl from in and round your design. While you’re performed, you need to simply be left along with your design on the liner.
Step 4: Apply the switch tape.
Take away the backing from the switch tape and place it over your vinyl {adhesive aspect down}. Use the scraper device to burnish the tape onto the vinyl. To stop any bubbles, begin within the middle of the design and transfer outwards. Peel away the vinyl liner at a 45-degrees angle till your design is totally on the switch tape. {TIP: If you happen to’re discovering that you simply’re having a tough time separating the switch tape from the vinyl, use a hairdryer over it for 5-10 seconds to warmth it up, shortly burnish once more and then peel. I discover it comes up a lot simpler particularly with the Good vinyl.}
Step 5: Apply the design to your mug.
Make sure that your mug is completely clear and dry. I’ll usually use some rubbing alcohol over the realm that I’m going to use the design to ensure it’s freed from any filth or residue. Place the switch tape with the vinyl picture onto your mug. {NOTE: I like to sit down and maintain the mug between my legs whereas I’m making use of the vinyl to ensure it stays in place.} When you’re proud of the position, rub the switch tape onto the floor beginning within the middle and transferring outwards. Slowly peel the switch tape away from the vinyl at a 45-degree angle. As soon as the switch tape is eliminated, I’m going again over the design and rub it firmly into the mug (particularly on the edges).
The cups can work as little bowls or storage containers too – good for some path combine!
Customized Ice Cooler Backpack
This ice cooler backpack is the right dimension for a day hike or boat trip on the lake, and could be nice for packing round meals and drinks when travelling too.

Supplies
To Do
STEP 1: CREATE YOUR DESIGN.
Open Cricut Design Area and design what you want to use in your backpack. If you want to make use of the Journey Awaits design that I used, you’ll find it HERE. Click on on “customise” and then alter the design to your required dimension. You’ll be able to at all times add to it as nicely if you want so as to add a reputation or different design components. If you happen to add to it, make sure to group and connect your design collectively on the finish so it cuts as one design.
STEP 2: CUT YOUR IRON-ON DESIGN.
When you’re blissful along with your design, click on “Make It” and select the no mat Good supplies setting. Test the picture structure on the preview mat to make sure that every part is the best way you desire to. Crucial factor to recollect when reducing iron-on is to click on the button to reflect the photographs. Place your Good iron-on materials into the Cricut Pleasure shiny aspect down and observe the prompts to chop your pictures. Choose Good Iron-On from the checklist of supplies.
STEP 3: WEED YOUR IRON-ON DESIGN.
Trim any extra iron-on vinyl from across the design and use a weeding device to take away any remaining components of the design that you simply don’t need to switch. You’ll be able to maintain the piece of vinyl as much as a vivid mild to disclose the minimize traces in the event that they aren’t clear – particularly should you’re utilizing white iron-on like I did. While you’re performed, you shoulder be left with the specified picture on the clear protecting liner.
STEP 4: APPLY YOUR IRON-ON.
Test the EasyPress temperature information HERE to find out what temperature you need to use on your materials. Since our backpack was created from polyester, I set mine to 355F and 30 seconds. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: As a result of location of the place I used to be placing the design and the extra delicate materials of the insulated, cooler materials on the within of the backpack, I inserted a small folded towel within the zippered pouch to behave as a barrier between the warmth from the EasyPress and the cooler materials. I then had my Cricut EasyPress mat underneath this. If you’re uncertain of how your materials will react to the warmth, at all times check on a small inconspicuous spot first.
Place your backpack over the EasyPress mat {or use a thick towel} and pre-warmth the floor for five seconds the place you may be making use of the design. Subsequent, place the design on the backpack prime with the clear protecting liner going through up. Apply the warmth along with your Straightforward Press for 30 seconds with mild stress. Enable to chill to the touch and then fastidiously peel away the liner. As soon as the liner is eliminated, press the design down along with your fingers till utterly cooled.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I’ll often flip over the fabric and then use the Straightforward Press on the again of the fabric as nicely, nonetheless, I did NOT do that for this undertaking since I didn’t have entry to the within of the pouch and didn’t need to apply any warmth to the insulated materials.
I additionally added our identify to the underside of the backpack straps. Our straps did have some foam padding in it, so I saved the identify fairly small as I figured the froth would soften down a bit when the warmth was utilized {which I did}.
You can at all times attempt utilizing a lesser warmth setting and/or placing a light-weight towel between the design and EasyPress, nevertheless it nonetheless features nicely and is comfy even with the padding melting down a bit.
