How to Do Sublimation on Faux Leather (And Make Key Fobs!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Sublimation on faux leather is an easy way to make your own custom printed faux leather sheets for all sorts of projects. I am using these sheets to make some key fobs with my Cricut machine, however, you can use them in place of any faux leather in your crafts. Use your sublimation printer to make custom faux leather in minutes with this technique.

Glad you like it!
I have a ton of faux leather sheets that I didn't know what I was going to do with them, thanks for all the inspiration.
No problem!
This came out just in time! Bought some white faux leather at Dollar Tree this week.
Yay! Good luck!!
Me too!
Thank you for the excellent demo. I plan on making custom printed faux leather for use in a sewing project.
Sounds great!
Great Video Angie! Thank you😊👍
Thanks for watching!

Yay! Happy to help!
@@AngieHolden Thank you so much!😊
Thank you!
I can't wait until I can get a sublimation printer! There are so many new things to make!
It is so much fun!
been binge watching your videos (by accident) today and learning soooo much. This particular one really solves a project I want to do - thank you so much! Love your videos because you are informative, get to the point, do the trial and error for us, and so very helpful
Thanks for watching!
@@AngieHolden so glad I just re-watched this :) I got excited about a project and ordered the faux leather - guess I totally missed the part about putting the htv on first lol. Kept thinking you should be able to sublimate directly on faux leather since it's often listed as a polyester
Wonderful- they would make great luggage tags with an added monogram!
Oh yes they would!!
Hey Angie! Great Tutorial! I've been wanting to make keychains by cutting out Names and making same way you made
yours. So glad you did this video with Leather and Sublimation...can't wait to try it. Thank you very much!
I have seen those name ones and I totally want to try them!
@@AngieHolden Cool! Can't wait to see that Tutorial. Thank goodness for offset.🤗
I was wondering how to do that for a cute clutch. Thanks Angie!!!
Any time!
Hey Angie, just catching up on your tutorials 🙂
Love this! Thank you!
Happy to help!
LOL. Had to look and see if this was me! It's another Vickie Lee! 😂😂
HA HA HA!
Love this project. I will look for a lipstick fab design. Angie, once again, you give detailed instructions. Thank you! Brenda
Thank you, very 😎 cool ❤.
Thanks for watching!
Angie, fantastic video! I say “YES” to more leather sublimation ideas! Can you show sublimating on silicon Apple Watch bands? I’ve wonder how to make them. I love your channel. Your delivery of content and the ideas inspire me to try new things. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have been meaning to try those myself!
This would make beautiful luggage tags.
It would!
Wow
Hi Angie, thank you for all of the videos you do, you truly one of the best on UA-cam! I'm confused about how the Cricut knows to cut without the registration marks that always print out on the paper. I tried to do as you instructed, but my Cricut just kept searching for the reg. marks. Did I miss a step?
Thank you!
Sheryl
I didn't do this as a print then cut. I printed the image separately, then sublimated it, then cut various shapes out of the material that I sublimated.
Great video as yours always are, Angie! I didn't see a link for the keychains. Can you provide one please? Thanks!
I added that!
Funny I brought the sub htv for a project never used it and couldn't remember why I assumed it was for a cotton Tshirt so I'll be interested to try this too😅
It was a fun project!
I would like to try these and will after watching your tutorial. The link for the faux leather doesn't have white only silver, so not sure what to get. Do you have another link you recommend?
Love your videos and YOU ROCK..keep up the great tutorials.
So that is the link I purchased at but they are not out of white. I think any brand would work.
Angie, can you do a step-by-step process for the - sublimation paint on a pillowcase? You did a short but can you do a full tutorial?
I have 110lb cardstock but - Bethadaily - mentioned there is a cardstock as high as 130lb. She dies cards and other crafts, but I was wondering if I can use a heavy cardstock like 130lbs+ for something similar. 😊
You can use ANY cardstock or paper for that project. I did something VERY similar in this video: ua-cam.com/video/IuGLKur1NCg/v-deo.html
That is really great! I love those! Would you use the same process if you used sublimation paint?
Yes same process! The sublimation painted sheet would be used in place for the printed sheet I used here.
@@AngieHolden Okay. Thank you!
Hi , I enjoy watching your channel. I'm currently trying to learn how to sublimate on faux leather and my project isn't coming out as clear. After heat pressing the faux leather with the htront sublimate paper I have bubbles in certain areas and them when I press my design it looks cracked not sure where I'm going wrong?
First, you need to use the sublimation HTV and make sure you get a good press on it first. Sounds like that first step is not working correctly.
Angie, great video. Is the sublimation permanent on the faux leather?
I haven't had any issues with this method.
Thank you Angie for another great video! I tried this today but the HTV didn't peel that easy, I had to put a lot of strength to pull it away. This is because of too much heat or too low? Or maybe not enough pressure?
Hmmmm. Sounds like maybe too much pressure? Like it was embedded into it?
This makes custom hair bows a lot easier to make! Thank you Angie. How does the sublimation htv hold up - does it get dry and brittle after time or does it crack after a while?
If I’m not mistaken the HTVront sublimation paper once it’s pressed, it’s like it’s melted into the faux leather. With that it shouldn’t dry or get brittle. I watch Crafting with Delonda as she used the HTVront sublimation paper on dark color shirts and it turned out great. She even showed updated videos of it being washed over and over with no cracks or so. With the faux leather not being washed it should last longer.
I haven't had any issues with another brand of clear dye sub HTV. It was my first time using this brand but it was similar and worked well!
Thanks for this great video. I am going to give this a go. I bought this sublimation HTV, it looks the same as the one you use, but it says for 100% cotton only. Will this still work? Thank you.
It should still work.
Can you use any seamless design from Etsy and (I do have a sublimation printer) sublimate using your technique? Thanks for sharing your experience and vy
Yes, absolutely!
Is the finished product colorsafe, I would like to make book covers on my embroidery machine….thanks for sharing your techniques.
So far everything has held up fine but I cannot speak to the longevity yet.
Love this. Can you use this process with Marine vinyl fabric?
Sorry not sure! You can definitely try it!
Hi Angie! I used your process on my Marine Vinyl and I am very satisfied with the results. Thanks you for this very informative video.
Oh that is awesome!
Love your stuff Angie - but had an issue with the sublimation time - it melted the whole faux leather at 55 seconds. It worked better at a lower temperature 300 F for 15 seconds - let it cool and then repeat 4 times.
Hmmm. I did not have that issue so that is weird!
Great video thank you. Is there any other faux leather you recommend? The one in the link has sold out in white
That is the only one I tried but I really think any white would work!
@@AngieHolden thanks you!
Curious, could you adhere the htvront sub vinyl, then cut, then sub on top to be able to use quotes etc, then glue together after that?
Yes! Definitely!
Would this work on the pu leather patches for hats?
I would say so but I haven't tried!
Hi Angie, I have tried this method, but I'm susing a cricut easy press with the pad under, It seems the htv is making bubbles on my vinyl, is there something I can do? Wish I can send you a photo for you to see. thanks
Sounds like maybe you are getting uneven pressure. If you are using an Easypress mat, that is often the cause. Try a firm heat resistant mat instead.
Can I use the easy subli that I already have for this? Or does it have to be the clear one? I have one sheet of white faux leather to try it on, so I guess I’ll just give it a try
I think you could try it!
@@AngieHolden Thanks! I think I'm just gonna use your links to order the supplies you mentioned so I'm not wasting the Easy Subli since it's so pricey.
Is faux leather the same as marine vinyl? in other words, can I use marine vinyl?
I am not sure. Sorry.
Will the white vinyl on a roll at Hobby Lobby work.
No. You need vinyl with a polyester content.
Excuse me, I want to ask on Cameo 3. There was a repetition of the task, and it made the work faster, and I could work on the design page. I wanted to stay on the submission page. Why did I find this box on Cameo 4? عذرا اتكلم العربيه واخدت الترجمة من قوقل ارجو ان تكون الترجمه صحيحة وتستطيعين مساعدتي شكرا لك انا جدا سعيدة بتواجدي في صفحتك
Did you use the matte or glossy Htv?
You can use either one! I prefer the matte as a general rule but it is just personal preference.
Hi Angie. What Blade did you use to cut with?
Fine point!
@@AngieHolden Thank you
I dont see the free svg for the keyfobs.thanks!

Can you iron on a name or initial with htv on top after sublimation.
Oh that is a great idea! I am sure that would work as well!
Can you put vinyl with like the word love on them or customize them
Of course! You can also print something custom with words with your sublimation printer. I was just using the patterns as an example!
@@AngieHolden thank you
Hello. I've been trialing sub on faux leather with different processes. That is working but they always seem to press with some sort of a blur or daze. Any thoughts or suggestions?! Thanks so much!!
Also unsure if they look that way because they’re watercolor prints. Or, if that shouldn’t matter at all. I’d be happy to provide you pictures of what I’m talking about - if you have any way of doing that. Thanks so much! 😊
I have seen some products give a blur and I haven't determined why. It could be that they are shrinking during pressing.
Hi Angela, I am having a problem with the sublimation HTV, not laying flat. Have you had that problem?
I laid my butcher paper over it when pressing and it held it down.
@@AngieHolden ok thanks
Newby here... why do you need the HTV paper... couldn't you use the sublimation paper directly onto the faux leather? Thanks so much in advance
Sublimation needs polyester to bond to. The sublimation HTV provides that.
@@AngieHolden Thanks so much
I'm getting interested in sublimation, but can't afford another printer, etc. But, one question that keeps coming to mind, as I watch all these videos: sublimation, supposedly last forever, but vinyl does not. So what happens when you sublimate vinyl? will it crack & peel like HTV, after a little while?
Yes it will. These HTV is a hack to do other things with sublimation.
Can you use infusible ink sheets on faux leather?
Sure! you can use it in place of the sublimation printed sheet in this video.
@@AngieHolden Thank you! I'll try it.
When I tried with a 3 inch piece of the same brand materials you used, my HTV left some weird marks, and did not apply evenly, even when it was taped down. Then, when I tried to sublimate on the HTV/leather, my paper stuck to the entire piece of faux and it was a total loss. Can you please tell me where I went wrong?
Maybe your pressure is all I can think of?
I print Without HTV Print Is Good But After 1 Or 2 Days My Print Was Blur Text Are Blur Please give me replay ❤
Do I still need the htv in the middle if the faux leather is 100% polyester?
You shouldn't! I didn't find any that was polyester but they probably make it!
Amazon has sublimation faux leather
Good to know!
@@BlackPanther-xv5qy really?😮 can u pls share a link?
Hi Angie, thanks for the video tutorial. I clicked on the link for the free svgs, subscribed but I didn't see the svgs n didn't get them via email. Pls help, thank you.
They should come via email. Check your spam and click all mail if you use gmail. You can also email angie@thecountrychiccottage.net and we can help!
@@AngieHoldenI did all that, no mail yet. Will send an email now, thank you.
I followed the steps but for some reason the clear vinyl comes out wrinkly and cracked on the faux leather
Your heat press could be running hot or the faux leather you have could be melting/shrinking.
I cannot ind the key fob pattern. I

The faux leather link doesn’t offer the white, guessing any of the brands would work 🤷♀️
Well it was there yesterday! HA! Sorry! It probably sold out. Yes, any brand that is a smooth faux leather should work!
@@AngieHolden 🤣🤣 thanks
My faux leather was sticker from the mat, did that happen to you?
It did not. You can cut it right side up if this is an issue.
