How Do I Get My Cricut Vinyl to Stay on Cups?

Vinyl is a great way to add some personalization to any cup or travel mug. Whether you’re creating custom designs for a special occasion or just want to make something unique, vinyl can be used to create eye-catching designs that look great on any cup. But if you’re using your Cricut machine to cut out vinyl designs, how do you get them to stay on the cup?

The key to getting your Cricut vinyl design to stick is making sure that the surface of the cup is clean and free of dust and debris. Wipe down the surface with a cloth, then use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or paper towel to remove any residue from the surface. Once the cup is clean, you can apply your vinyl design.

To apply your design, start by cutting it out with your Cricut machine using permanent adhesive vinyl. Peel off the backing paper and place the adhesive side of the vinyl onto the cup. Use a scraper tool or credit card to firmly press down on the design and make sure it sticks. If there are any air bubbles, use a needle or pin to pop them.

Once your design is applied, you’ll need to seal it in order for it to last longer.

To do this, apply several coats of clear sealant over top of the vinyl design. This will help protect it from fading due to exposure to sunlight or getting wet when washed.

Conclusion:
Getting your Cricut vinyl designs to stay on cups requires some preparation and patience but can be done with ease! Make sure that you clean off any dust or debris from the cups before applying your design and then firmly press down with a scraper tool or credit card so that it sticks properly. Once applied, use a clear sealant over top of the design for long-lasting protection.
