Anyone else like to curl up on the sofa with the puppy on Sunday afternoon and binge watch Jennifer Maker videos? Great way to plan my crafting time for the week.
FYI (for newbies): It is much easier to use a needle to weed with the smaller/thinner tip than most purchased weeders have. Simply empty the led from a mechanical pencil. Push a needle up into the opening while pressing the top (or whatever “button” your precise mechanical pencil has that releases the led) and once inserted, release the “button.” Some I’ve had to hot glue just a tiny amount to keep the needle in place. Now you have a “weeder” that cost under $1 to make & bonus- the eraser side is great for picking up tiny scrap pieces on the table
Thank you for talking about safety in your videos! I feel like so many creating videos (especially epoxy vids) leave this info out. So important. Love your how-tos!
You are amazing. You are calm and your talking is not too fast. I’m learning to use my Cricut maker but have language disorder from accident so I don’t understand like before. You make it easier. Thank you ❤
Yes laying on the couch watching Jennifer sounds great but right now I am in a tub watching Jennifer recovering from a cold. Keep up the good work love all your videos
That was great! A lot of very useful information and tips. I love the tip of using a lint brush to hold the cup in place! I will definitely be using that tip!
This is a good video. I was curious how to make tumblers with etching. These are really HUGH seller at craft fairs. After watching video, I definitely am going to try this!!!!😍
2 questions: 1. Have you ever tried etching with ferric acid? 2. Would a hair dryer work the same as a heat gun but just heat it up longer? Thank you for your detailed videos!! Always love them
Here is the link to one of my etching tutorials, jennifermaker.com/etched-stainless-steel-tumbler/ and I haven't tried a hair dryer so I can't say for sure that would produce enough heat 💗
Hi, I'm about to try a glossy tumbler and have all necessary items you spoke about. But I did not hear you mention the time frame to keep citristrip on before using heat gun. It seemed like you used it immediately after wrapping in foil and heated for a minute. Did I miss if you need to let it sit for 50 minutes or so before heating or can I heat right away? Thanks! Love your videos. They are so helpful ❤
Can you recommend the best way to remove any remaining small pieces of vinyl (such as from inside letters) without damaging or accidentally pulling off the remaining small areas of powder coat underneath? Fingernails, weeding tool, something else? Thank you!
Great video but I’m having trouble with the vinyl I’m not sure if it’s the quality what type and brand of adhesive works best for the stencil? I tried permanent adhesive from siser. I had trouble with it tearing in the delicate areas of the design when trying to remove the citririp.
Vinyl does come in different qualities. Dollar Tree vinyl is thin and tears easy. Cricut permanent vinyl is what was use here. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
I tried to do this, but I think it bled a little… you can kinda see a square around the name where I put the tape… do you have any recommendations on how I can remove that?
Hi! Such a great tutorial! I noticed for the "cold nose warm heart" tumbler it looks like you are using a "simplemodern" brand tumbler. Am I seeing that right? I Ask because thats what i have to etch on right now, but i dont see it listed in your products listing for this project. Not all tumblers are created equal and it turned out so well for you so if it is a SM tumber it gives me hope!
Does anyone know if etching the handle on a yeti mugs a bad idea or if there’s a specific way to do it I can’t find a single video about etching handles on mugs or any sort of handle action on mugs. Love watching Jennifer‘s videos even if I’m not doing a project. It’s very Stepford wives but in a comforting way.
I find the magic eraser works well on on these projects. Doesn't scratch and you can scrub if needed. :) I use a heat gun for both kinds of tumblers but didn't have one I could set to a particular temperature until recently. I will try your setting next time I make one!
@@JenniferMaker Always glad to help! Thanks for always making great tutorials! Been struggling with my card mat recently. It stopped in the middle of cutting out the last of the project and ejected it. I was so upset. I tried to put it back in, just letting it pretend to do the pen parts again to get to the cutting but it died before the cutting twice before I gave up. *sigh*
Is this technique temperature sensitive..like for example can I work outside in the cold winter months? I don’t have a safe space in my small house where I’m away from kids and pets but it gets very cold here in the winter months
Do we need to discard the plate and the foam brush after each project? Or it can be washed and used again in the future for another citristrip project? Thanks
They look Awesome Jennifer!!! Looks quick and easy maybe give it a try be greeat for Christmas or Birthday gift! Thank you for teaching us how to do this!!! Hugs Liz.😊
Hi. I’m new to cricut. And I’m wondering if you can use permanent vinyls for these kinds of tumblers? As I want to make some designs for these to sell. And will the vinyls come off of these tumblers? Or can we use iron on vinyls? Thank you.
Yes, you can use permanent vinyls for tumblers, and they are generally recommended for this type of project. Specifically, Oracle 651 is a popular choice because it is a permanent outdoor vinyl that tends to adhere well to smooth surfaces like tumblers. However, it's important to note that even permanent vinyls may eventually come off, especially if the tumbler is frequently washed in a dishwasher. Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the vinyl. As for iron-on vinyls (also known as heat transfer vinyl or HTV), they are not typically recommended for tumblers. Some people have tried using HTV on mugs and tumblers, but the results are often inconsistent. The vinyl may not adhere well or may come off after a few washes. Additionally, the surface of the tumbler needs to be fairly porous for the HTV to melt into it, which is not usually the case with most tumblers.
@@JenniferMakerWow! Thank you so much Jennifer for taking the time to reply. I wasn’t expecting to be replied since your video was a year ago. But I took the long shot as I’m still new with crafting and confused as to which material to use for certain types of material. I’ve watched other videos but made me more confused thats why I stick to your very comprehensive and detailed videos which are very helpful like me as new crafter. I’ve purchased your sublimation book as well. I hope you keep doing what you love and sharing to us. You are amazing and a blessing to us. You made our lives easier with your videos. God bless you more and to your team. ❤
Hi Jennifer, Hoping I can trouble you with a question. I’ve done my fair share of etching tumblers with citristrip with fairly good success. However, I have NOT been able to successfully etch a light colored Yeti yet and I’ve damaged many. I’ve left the citristip on for times varying from 50 minutes to several hours to overnight and even tried the head gun with no success. I’ve just watched your video and am curious if you’ve been successful etching any light colored Yetis and what the “sweet” time was at which you found them to be most successful? Thank you very much in advance.
The affiliate links are the tumblers we used with success on the blog post. There are more details there. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
@@JenniferMaker I understand that, thank you for your response. Was just curious if you had noted the successful time the Yeti tumbler took you to achieve etching success. Thanks!
A friend was kind enough to bring me some Citristrip when she came to visit us in Toronto. There is some other brand here and no way of knowing if it would work. I got great results with the Citristrip . I need some advice. The design I did on one side is a huge stylized firefly. I put rhinestones on the glowing abdomen part and I’m wondering does anyone think it will look unfinished if I leave most of it including the wings just the plain etched out look with the glowing butt part all glittery rhinestones with some that glow in the dark?
I followed this method and did a test patch on the bottom of a tumbler. I allowed the citrstrip to sit on this test patch for 50 minutes and the paint came right off the tumbler. So I cut my actual template and applied it to the face of the tumbler and let the citristrip sit for 50 minutes. At that point, the paint wouldn't come off, so I allowed the citristrip to sit for 10 more minutes, but still the paint wouldn't come off. What do you do in this case? Let it sit longer or just give up and try another tumbler? Once I peeled off my template, the paint was slightly etched looking, but it still wouldn't come off. So I was left with a tumbler that had a tone-on-tone effect.
Yes, but I found that glossy tumblers like Civago Gloss and Gradient Tumblers worked better with the second technique described, which also requires a Heat Gun and Aluminum Foil. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
@@JenniferMaker Omg!! Thank you so much for the great response time. That goes to show the time, effort and love put into your channel. I wish you continued success. Many blessings.
I like the ctristrip etching method n really like the results. I had tried 2 other brands prior to citristrip and let's just say that the results were not as impressive n they tended to melt the vinyl stencil :(. [ also have tried the citristrip etching on few of my own spraypainted cups just as experiments. My question for u is...If I ad other decals to customize the tumbler further will the etching be ruined if I epoxy, BT (brite tone) or GF (grand finale) the tumbler??? Enjoyed the video & tips, keep them coming!!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!
You can do other things to the tumbler after you etch. Folks have been using Citristrip for years to strip their tumblers of all powder coating so they can paint or glitter or epoxy them, for example. :)
You like my voice? :) Thank you. Like most people, I've always been rather sensitive about my voice. It is very soft. I am grateful for volume controls when recording audio. :)
We only have the information that is in the blog post. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/ You can always ask in our group. They are very helpful. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

Is it okay to use Cricut Smart Vinyl? I've been waiting for this video so I can try it. I have several I need to make for our family party. Thanks for the video.
Anyone have the Citristrip bleed under your stencil? I've done it twice on a test tumbler (wrap in foil with heat gun method) and it bled both times. I cleaned with rubbing alcohol, used Cricut vinyl, and made sure I pressed the stencil down around every edge. I really want this to work. What am I doing wrong?
Hi jennifer love your youtube videos, wonder if you can help as the web is very confusing. I live in the uk and all our card is graded in gsm not pounds like the USA, can you please tell me what 65lb card is in gsm, I want to make your Christmas Angel, but think my card is to thick. I think there must be many crafters out there that would love a conversion chart. many thanks kate
When removing the vinyl stencil did anyone pull up some color with it? The only was I can think to describe it is like speckled pieces of color came up leaving silver looking kinda like sprinkles of salt. Sorry not sure how to describe it.
Not sure if this was covered as I can't watch this now, but I just tried this basic project and the cricut vinyl is all curled up at the edges. What should I have used for vinyl? Thanks.
@@JenniferMaker I followed directions using products listed here. I have now trashed two tumblers because the citristrip gets under the stencil and wrecks everything. I secured the stencil as best I could and even used heat on the 2nd one thinking it would adhere better. Nope. It's junk. I have to idea what to do with this.
I want to etch a Yeti for my DIL, but I’m super scared that I’ll mess it up. It’s the limited edition breast cancer awareness 30 oz rambler. Cost me a penny. Im going to do mine first to practice. What font did you use for Jennifer? Btw, great video as always.
I’ve used the citristrip the only problem I had was small pieces of vinyl moving or coming off like In a letter & it did take a while for it to lift powder coating
Help!! I let mine sit for over an hour. More like 1 1/2 and I cannot get this stuff to scrub off. I bought a yeti 😔 and now I think it’s wasted. Is there any way to salvage it?
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your tutorials. They are always very informative. I have some RTIC tumblers and tried this method on them. You mentioned not to leave the citristripe on longer than 1.5 hours as the vinyl wrinkled. However, I had to leave the citristrip on these tumblers for about 2.5 hours. I used Oracle 651 vinyl and it really held up well. I tried the method using the heat gun and unfortunately, the vinyl almost melted and I had a real mess on my hands. I think I got the tin foil that was on top to hot and it melted the vinyl. Are there tumblers that you can recommend that won't take 2.5 hours to etch? TIA
Interesting, it gives a better finish than using a laser engraver, and zero electricity, the downside is that i have to discard the vinyl, for bulk is not that effective, but it's a nice way of giving a vinyl cutter another use
I've seen some other youtubers who let the vinyl cure on the tumbler overnight before applying the citristrip, have you tried this, and if so, do you see any benefits?
I can see that you're following Adrienne Reisinger m2c1 Designs technique. She was the one who discovered this method with the Citristrip ! I have seen other citristrip videos, and they mention m2c1 Designs because is Her method.
I have a wonderful team of people who help me, and my "design elves" help assemble projects on camera -- I embrace design elves of all skin colors, types, sizes, ages, and genders! Not only do they help me get projects recorded so you're not just relying on my free time to do it, but they also help us test our designs and ensure that someone other than me can make them. :)

Anyone have the Citristrip bleed under your stencil? I've done it twice on a test tumbler (wrap in foil with heat gun method) and it bled both times. I cleaned with rubbing alcohol, used Cricut vinyl, and made sure I pressed the stencil down around every edge. I really want this to work. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Jennifer. What font did you use for the mug with your name?
They are listed on the blog post. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
Hi jennifer love your youtube videos, wonder if you can help as the web is very confusing. I live in the uk and all our card is graded in gsm not pounds like the USA, can you please tell me what 65lb card is in gsm, I want to make your Christmas Angel, but think my card is to thick. I think there must be many crafters out there that would love a conversion chart. many thanks kate
Just want Karen says -- go to Google and type in gsm to lbs and you'll get calculators you can use!
Will this work for Stanley cups
It should.
We don’t have Citristrip in Australia, is there an equivalent that we might have here?
I do not know what is available in Australia.
Some people use foil to cover the tumbler, yes or no?
We tried both methods in the video 😊🌻
When removing the vinyl stencil did anyone pull up some color with it? The only was I can think to describe it is like speckled pieces of color came up leaving silver looking kinda like sprinkles of salt. Sorry not sure how to describe it.
Not sure if this was covered as I can't watch this now, but I just tried this basic project and the cricut vinyl is all curled up at the edges. What should I have used for vinyl? Thanks.
I used permanent vinyl. You can see the affiliate links in the materials list. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
@@JenniferMaker I followed directions using products listed here. I have now trashed two tumblers because the citristrip gets under the stencil and wrecks everything. I secured the stencil as best I could and even used heat on the 2nd one thinking it would adhere better. Nope. It's junk. I have to idea what to do with this.
I want to etch a Yeti for my DIL, but I’m super scared that I’ll mess it up. It’s the limited edition breast cancer awareness 30 oz rambler. Cost me a penny. Im going to do mine first to practice. What font did you use for Jennifer? Btw, great video as always.
Good idea to test first. The fonts can be found on the post. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
I’ve used the citristrip the only problem I had was small pieces of vinyl moving or coming off like
In a letter & it did take a while for it to lift powder coating
Yes, it does take a while for sure!
Help!! I let mine sit for over an hour. More like 1 1/2 and I cannot get this stuff to scrub off. I bought a yeti 😔 and now I think it’s wasted. Is there any way to salvage it?
have you tried using heat?🥰
Hi Jennifer, thank you for your tutorials. They are always very informative. I have some RTIC tumblers and tried this method on them. You mentioned not to leave the citristripe on longer than 1.5 hours as the vinyl wrinkled. However, I had to leave the citristrip on these tumblers for about 2.5 hours. I used Oracle 651 vinyl and it really held up well. I tried the method using the heat gun and unfortunately, the vinyl almost melted and I had a real mess on my hands. I think I got the tin foil that was on top to hot and it melted the vinyl. Are there tumblers that you can recommend that won't take 2.5 hours to etch? TIA
I think it's just trial and error in finding the ones that work best in your specific conditions🥰
Very cool! Thank you!
You bet!
Interesting, it gives a better finish than using a laser engraver, and zero electricity, the downside is that i have to discard the vinyl, for bulk is not that effective, but it's a nice way of giving a vinyl cutter another use
Yes, thanks for watching! ❤️
Her husband is a lucky man. What a sweetheart.

If I have multiple tumblers to work on, do I need new water in my bucket for each one? I'm assuming yes but hoping no.....
No, I don't think so, the bucket of water is more for rinsing the citristrip off rather than uncovering the design and washing the tumbler.💗
Hello from Clemson, SC
What about those gamecocks yesterday. Pretty impressive
I like your tutorial.
Glad to hear that! 💗
I've seen some other youtubers who let the vinyl cure on the tumbler overnight before applying the citristrip, have you tried this, and if so, do you see any benefits?
I have not tried it to give you a solid answer.
Thanks for the information
My pleasure -- always happy to help!
Have you tried this with stencil film too? Wondering what is better.
No I haven't, I'm sorry ❤️You could ask other crafters in my FB group, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
I can see that you're following Adrienne Reisinger m2c1 Designs technique. She was the one who discovered this method with the Citristrip !
I have seen other citristrip videos, and they mention m2c1 Designs because is Her method.
Yes! Thank you!
Does the cup need to be sealed after etching?
No, it doesn't. jennifermaker.com/etch-tumblers-with-citristrip/
What is the best paint if you want to paint your own tumbler and do the etching?
We haven't tried that, we've only used the pre coated tumblers. 😊🌻
To start this business we have make websites to where our products will sell or can i start without websites also mam
Not necessarily -- you could sell locally, or online on a place like Etsy. :)
I wonder if Citristrip would work on a Hydroflask
Yes, I believe they've been used with Citristrip. 😊🌻
I m waiting
Do you need to seal it after it’s finished stripping the powder coating?
Nope
No need for sealing!
Anyone else notice in the last few videos the hands do not look like Jennifer’s? Just wondering 🤷♀️
I have a wonderful team of people who help me, and my "design elves" help assemble projects on camera -- I embrace design elves of all skin colors, types, sizes, ages, and genders! Not only do they help me get projects recorded so you're not just relying on my free time to do it, but they also help us test our designs and ensure that someone other than me can make them. :)
@@JenniferMaker I love it. Job Title: Jennifer Maker hand model! I want to do that job. Unfortunately I have ugly hands (not kidding)
Can I use stencil vinyl?
I used permanent vinyl but you could ask in my FB Group to see if anyone has tried it, facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
