How Do You Get Cricut Vinyl to Stick to Tumbler?

Getting Cricut vinyl to stick to tumblers can be tricky, but with the right technique, you can make sure that your decals will stay put. This guide will help you get started with the basics of adhering Cricut vinyl to tumblers.

Step 1: Clean the Tumbler
The first step in making sure that your vinyl adheres properly is to make sure that your tumbler is clean. Use rubbing alcohol or a mild soap and water solution to wipe away any dirt or debris. Allow the tumbler to dry completely before continuing.

Step 2: Cut Out Vinyl Decal
Next, use Cricut’s design software or a cutting machine to create your desired decal. Once you’ve cut out the design, peel away any excess material from around it and discard it. You can also use transfer tape to help move and position the vinyl decal on the tumbler if needed.

Step 3: Adhere Vinyl Decal
Once you’ve positioned your decal on the tumbler, use a squeegee or credit card to press down firmly and evenly across the entire surface of the decal. This will help ensure that all parts of the decal adhere securely to the tumbler surface.

Step 4: Bake Tumbler
Finally, place your decorated tumbler in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C), and bake for 20 minutes. This will activate an adhesive on back of the vinyl, helping it stick more securely when cooled down again.

Make sure that you place something heat-resistant between your tumbler and oven rack while baking!

Conclusion: Following these steps should help ensure that your Cricut vinyl sticks securely onto your tumbler for long-lasting results! Be sure to follow all instructions carefully and always use safety precautions when working with heat-resistant materials in an oven environment.
