Easy and Adorable Mugs
Easy and Adorable Personalized Mugs are easier than ever to make with Cricut's newest machine- The Mug Press! Not only is the Mug Press user-friendly, but it is also affordable AND the designs you create will forever be on your mug. No need to worry about them washing or peeling off. Let's talk a little bit more about a few of these points.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.
How is the Mug Press User Friendly?
No need to look up temperatures or heat times on your Mug Press. Simply push down on the lever and your machine perfectly presses your design. Once it beeps, it's done. No second guessing here.
Will my design peel off over time?
NO!! Mug Press uses Cricut's Infusible Ink. The design is literally infused into your ceramic mug and is dishwasher safe. I am telling you, your mugs will look store-bought and not homemade at all.
