Equipment

What You Will Need

  • Cricut cut file (you can download this below)
  • Cork
  • Mason jar lids
  • Heat transfer vinyl
  • Teflon sheet or parchment paper

Instructions

  • Start by uploading the cut file from above to Cricut Design Space.
  • Then cut the heat transfer vinyl on your Cricut machine. Be sure to mirror your design and cut with the heat transfer vinyl shiny side down.
  • Then weed away all excess heat transfer vinyl. This includes the outside as well as things like the centers of the letters.
  • Cut your cork into circles using scissors or even your Cricut machine. I just traced my mason jar lids onto the cork with a pen then used scissors to cut it out. You can program a circle and use your Cricut machine to make this cut as well.
  • Then add the heat transfer vinyl in the proper location to the center of your cork. Put on an EasyPress mat or folded a towel.
  • Then cover the entire thing with the Teflon sheet or parchment paper. This protects the cork from the EasyPress or iron.
  • Be sure to look at the proper time and temperature on the Cricut heat guide. Then press with your EasyPress on top of the Teflon sheet for the proper amount of time at the right temperature.
  • Allow to cool slightly so that you can touch the cork then flip it over. Put the Teflon sheet back on top and press once again with your EasyPress.
  • Allow to cool completely this time then peel back the protective lining of the heat transfer vinyl. If the iron-on is wanting to lift up, you will need to press once again at the time and temperature indicated. Repeat until the liner pulls up completely while leaving your heat transfer vinyl on the cork.
  • Repeat these steps for all of your mason jar lid coasters.
