The Cricut Infusible Ink system is a revolutionary way to make beautiful, permanent designs on fabric and other materials. With this system, you can create custom coasters to give your home a unique and personal touch. Here’s how you can use the Cricut Infusible Ink system to make beautiful coasters for your home:
Step 1: Gather Your Materials. Before you start making your coasters, make sure you have all the necessary materials.
This includes an Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet, a Cricut cutting machine, scissors, and the material of your choice for the coaster. If you plan on using fabric, it should be prewashed to prevent shrinkage.
Step 2: Design Your Coaster. Once you’ve gathered all of your materials, it’s time to design your coaster. You can use the design software included with your Cricut machine or create something from scratch with some of the free online resources available. Make sure to keep in mind that when using Infusible Ink, most designs will be reversed when they are transferred onto the material.
Step 3: Cut Out Your Design. Once you have finished designing your coaster, it’s time to cut it out. Place the Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet into your Cricut cutting machine and select “Infusible Ink” as the material setting. Cut out your design and then remove any excess material from around the edges of the design using scissors or an X-Acto knife.
Step 4:Transfer The Design. Place your coaster material onto a flat surface and preheat your EasyPress 2 or Heat Press according to its instructions (if applicable). Place the cut-out design onto the preheated surface and cover with parchment paper or a Teflon sheet.
Press firmly for 20-30 seconds and then remove parchment paper/Teflon sheet carefully while still hot. Allow design to cool before handling.
