Step 1:
Hand letter a name/word with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
Step 2:
Assemble your Cricut mat (blue) and cut a piece of Cricut vinyl to the desired size.
Step 3:
Place vinyl on to the sticky Cricut cutting mat.
Step 4:
Start cutting with the Cricut maker and once complete remove the surrounding vinyl and pick out the extra vinyl as seen in the letter ‘h’.
Step 5:
Place Cricut transfer paper on-top of the vinyl.
Step 6
Peel the transfer paper and ensure the vinyl is stuck onto the transfer paper.
Step 7:
Position the name onto the mug and flatten with your hands or the Cricut scraper.
Carefully peel the Cricut transfer paper away from the vinyl.
Step 8:
You now have a personalised mug! Please note the vinyl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Use a soft towel and gently wipe the outside.
