How Do You Make Cricut Infusible Ink Coasters?

Cricut Infusible Ink Coasters are a great way to add a personal touch to any space. They are perfect for gift-giving, party decorations, and home decor. With Cricut’s Infusible Ink technology, you can create beautiful coasters that won’t peel, crack, or fade over time.

To start making your own custom coasters with Cricut Infusible Ink, you will need the following supplies:

  • Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2 machine
  • Cricut Strong Grip Mat
  • Infusible Ink Markers and Pens
  • White or light colored ceramic tiles (4 inch or larger)

Step 1: Preparing the Ceramic Tile

Clean the ceramic tile with rubbing alcohol and a lint-free cloth. This will ensure that the Infusible Ink adheres properly to the surface. Once the tiles are clean and dry, place them onto the Cricut Strong Grip Mat.

Step 2: Designing Your Coaster

Open up Cricut Design Space on your computer and begin designing your coaster. For best results, use simple shapes and designs that don’t have too many intricate details. To make sure it prints correctly onto the tile, check to make sure your design is not too large for the tile size you are using.

Step 3: Cutting Your Design

Once you have finished designing your coaster, select “Cut” from the menu in Design Space.

Select “Infusible Ink” as your material type and then follow the prompts onscreen to cut out your design.

Step 4: Applying Your Design

Carefully remove the tile from the mat and place it onto a flat surface. With an Infusible Ink marker or pen, trace over your design until it is completely filled in. Allow it to dry for 10 minutes before removing any excess ink from around the edges of your design.

Step 5: Heat Setting Your Coaster

Place a piece of parchment paper over top of your coaster before placing it into an oven preheated to 385°F (195°C). Allow it to heat set for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from oven with an oven mitt.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Once cooled off completely, use a sealer spray or brush on sealer (if desired) to give it a shiny finish and help protect against water damage. Then enjoy showing off your beautiful new handmade coasters!
