You made this so simple. I have watched others and they made it seem so complex. Thank you so much , now I can use my vinyl and finished my see thru tumblers.
I did not know you can sublimate on white vinyl! This would a fun project for a box of plain ceramic tiles in my craft closet! Thanks!
I will join in with many others and say thank you for your wonderful tutorials!! You are very precise, to the point and give accurate descriptions. So refreshing! Thank you
I am totally trying this today. Thanks so much Corinne for showing this!
Thank you so much! I ran out of color toner in my laser printer but needed a custom sheet of vinyl for a teacher gift! This has saved the day!
I'm a Newbie and LOVE all your tutorials. Thank You!
This is a great way to make short-run stickers or decals. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Love your name…my daughter is also Corinne. ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I never realized that you could sublimate on vinyl! 🤩 I really appreciate the way you teach, well done! Thorough, accurate, pleasant, no frills, just a great video.
Now i have to go craft to make money so i can buy a new printer. 😉
Excellent! You have the best instructions that I've found.
Love these! I have a few so I’m going to try it!
The patterns are so pretty and fun!! Great tutorial!!! I'm going to try this with my acrilyc keychains. Thank you very much Corinne!!
🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼
Thank you so much for being so detailed! I’ve tried before and had some success with my mini heat press but not the big one I just got from a friend. I am trying to make a Beetlejuice sign and want a specific design so this will help! Thank you!
I did sublimation on start-craft and it turned great
Yayyy another craft tutorial! 🥳🥳🥳🥰
Thank you! Love this video.
These are so pretty!
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video, this is really helpful
Wonderful idea. Can make window clings this way. So awsome
great tutorial! TFS
I sublimated directly onto the acrylics. Love this method as well...
How?
@user-st3uf3pv9o I do too, just sublimate exactly as you would normally, then run under water to take off the stuck paper on the acrylic
Rapid-Tac spray works wonders letting you position the vinyl. Let dry and vinyl is stuck on and well positioned.
I had no idea. Great video.
Love this!
Thank you for answering my question
Great tutorial!
Can this process be used for htv or iron on vinyl for t-shirts? Just getting into sublimation, but don't like that you can only sub on white polyester. Will try your process on the Cricut.
Extract all 🤯😳 mind blown 😮
Thank you for the video. Since you mentioned that you are horrible at placing vinyl, try the wet method. Put water and a drop of dish detergent in a spray bottle. Spray your substrate before applying the vinyl and that will allow you to be able to move your vinyl around until you get it in the perfect spot.Then squeegee the excess water out and let dry. It will be stuck whereever you placed it once dry.
I have a video showing the wet method :) I do need to try it with acrylics at some point
This is EXACTLY what I needed today. I'm going to cover up a company logo on a swag giveaway. Now I'll have some insulated bags to take milk products home from the grocery store (without advertising).
Great information.
I learned so much! I wish my files were as organized as yours… 😂
LOL It took a long time to be so organized
i find you amazing thank you
Little confused... you made a sublimation design and pressed it onto regular vinyl??? That's so cool!!
Yep thats exactly what I did !
I tried this several times but my transfer kind of sticks to the vinyl leaving white on top. What could be the problem? Using the white oracle 651 340° at 25 sec .
Hey! Thanks so much for showing step by step. I’m going to try it. Can you do both sides? Thanks
You can’t sublimate on both side of the vinyl but you can decorate both sides of the car coaster
@@CorinneBlackstone yes that’s what I meant. Sorry I wasn’t clearer. Thanks again. Gonna try it. 😊
very nice video. I am having an issue with the ink pushing through the vinyl. the top looks faded but the adhesive side looks great. lol. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Possibly using too much pressure. I had that issue when I was too firm. Also you may just have a lot of ink on your paper so play with those printer settings a bit
i didn't know this was a thing! i would suggest Not using cheaper sub paper (i had some lying around and my better paper is in storage right now) but that paper stuck to the vinyl
The paper can stick to the vinyl just use a baby wipe or wet cloth it comes right off
Hi all! I have the Cricut Explorer and the Easy Press 2. I am trying to make different designs with print and cut feature on the cricut. I have seen several videos out there. Do I need sublimation coasters? I seen I could use Laminate If my coaster are ceramic. Also do I need a sublimation printer???? I thought you could use an Inkjet and then print , cut then press. I am so confused. Thanks
You are talking about two completely different things. Sublimation needs to be done with sublimation ink and printer plus sublimation paper and a polyester coated blank or material. Print then cut can be done with an inkjet printer and printable products. You MUST have a sublimation printer to do sublimation designs. This is a process where the ink is heated into a gas and then it dyes the fabric or coating of the blank. Using inkjet means you print onto a product that is made to be printed on and then place it ontop of the blank.
Love these. I am assuming you could do this on the square ceramic coasters from Lowe’s or Home Depot? Do they need to be sealed? Thanks so much!
The ceramic tiles could be done yes since it’s just vinyl applied to the top. They do not need to be sealed
@@CorinneBlackstone awesome. Thank you!
@@CorinneBlackstone could you please inform us on what temp and time to put the easy press AND mini easy press? TYSM for this vid. I FINALLY got an answer on sublimating on vinyl. New subscriber now 🥰🥰🥰
@@officermeyer exactly the time and temp I used in the video.
Hiii, so ordered my ink and paper from your previous epson sublimation conversion video. I love everything so far and you are great at teaching. However the bleeding is killing me after sublimating! I used like 4 sheets of butcher paper and teflon sheets (top and bottem) and I actually got bleeding on my brand new press. I was just shopping around to see if maybe its the ink or that paper. The paper setting was printed exactly the way you showed it and it had been printed days beforehand so it had time to dry. Have you tried different sub paper? I am desperate for help!
Hates paper is what I have been using and printers jack. I am not getting bleeding at all
@@CorinneBlackstone Thank you so much! I figured that was the problem.
Great video tutorial! Thank you. May I ask what transfer tape you used to remove it from vinyl and adhere to the coaster?
Medium tack www.143vinyl.com/Clear-Medium-Tack-Transfer-Tape-12-inches-by-30-Feet.html?partner=196113
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks so much for the quick response. Much appreciated!
Do you use any spray or brush on sealer for the sublimation designs. I have seen products on amazon but have not seen where folks have used them.
No. Those are very gimmicky and they don’t last especially on things that get washed
Just came across this lovely 😍. Will any white permanent vinyl work?
As far as I know yes.
Loved this project. How would you use photos and protect them? It would make a nice gift!
Because it’s on permanent vinyl they are made to hold up to some decent use. I washed and scrubbed these and they held up great! You could just sublimate the photo onto your vinyl and then put it wherever. I don’t think they would be up protected though that would likely be the only down fall
Hi I Have you or can I sublimate on the oracal transparent perinate vinyl? I am trying it but not working very well. Doesn't want to sublimate. Thanks.
I no longer use oracal so I have not tried it. I have done it on clear starcraft and it’s ok. Its never going to be super bright because the ink is transparent and so is the vinyl
Are these water proof as I would like to use this idea for a picture on a graduation sign. Would not want the sublimation to run. Great job !
They are waterproof! I washed these to check!
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you so much !
I love knowing we can sublimate on vinyl. Now can you figure out a way for us to do sublimation on HTV?
I have several videos on subbing on htv. You can use glitter holographic and glow in the dark
@@CorinneBlackstone thank you. I have glo in the dark.
Corrine, followed video step by step and each time (tried 4 times, different temp, diffent times) and each time the vinyl warps (wrinkles) any ideas?
Make sure you are pressing very firmly with a hard surface. Also depending on brand it may be a littler different
Corinne, Can you do this method for making vinyl decals for wreath centers??? Like a 10x10 size or larger?
Yes absolutely. You may need to piece together the print if your printer doesn’t print that large but it can be done
Thank you!!!
Would this work for making labels to go around plastic water bottles? Also, what brand of 651 vinyl did you use?
It should work. I wouldn’t do it though. A lot of work when you could just do print then cut. 651 is a brand from oracal. This is Starcraft hd
But does it wash off? Also, have you ever tried the parchment paper method to align your vinyl properly?
No it does not wash off and yes I use that in a lot of my videos
Thank you for the video. The 651 does not need the laminate to sub? Trying to make bumper stickers. Would this be the best method?
This is not oracal 651 this is Starcraft hd but no white permanent vinyl does not require a laminate
And no this will fade quickly it is not for outdoor use
does the sublimation stay on well even outdoors? I want to make new dash decals for my tractor and it will be exposed to the elements
So far mine has but it’s been winter so not a ton of sun.
What if u used parchment paper in between your blank n vinyl? Might be easier to line up.
Do you need to seal these? Thank you love this video.
I have done that. Lol but man I’m still so bad!
@@CorinneBlackstone nah not bad just need to practice more. 😁
Hahah true! Acrylics are probably one at the least done crafts for me
When you use the parchment , you leave very little of the vinyl exposed and that as where you attach it first then lift the rest up, remove the parchment and slowly lay it down smoothing with a scraper or hand. Makes it so much easier.
@@sirrahinct471 I do this also and it is probably the best tip ever. It helps in making large porch sitters and I have used it for permanent vinyl on my camper. I hate the way that perm vinyl attaches before you want it to. I also leave a bit at the top open
How do you do this without the sub paper sticking to the vinyl? Every time I have tried it has stuck and when it's peeled off it has a faded look.
You may need to adjust your pressure. And don’t peel the paper off get the paper wet using a damp rag and rub it off. Works better that way
Can you use the ceramic car ones for this project?
Yes you can add the vinyl to the ceramic
So just to be clear you can sub on any white or clear vinyl? I ordered frosty clear from heat press nation, will that work?
It should work. As I have not worked with it myself I can't be 100% sure but I don't see any reason it wouldn't.
When you print the image, what type of paper are you printing on? Transfer paper?
It’s printed on Hayes sublimation paper
I am not sure why I am having such a problem with my sub paper not coming off of the vinyl. I am using oracal 651
It may be overheating it but if it doesn’t come off let it cool completely then clean it with a little water and a rag or a baby wipe
Hi Corinne, will this work with Starcraft HD glossy white vinyl?
Yes it does
is there a reason you keep your heat press at 325 instead of the recommended 380-400 for regular sublimation onto clothing etc?
Yes after many tests the normal temp is too hot for the vinyl so you need to do this at a lower temp so you don’t damage the vinyl
@@CorinneBlackstone what pressure did you use for the heat press?
@@amycicak5567 medium
Do you have to have a sublimation printer and sublimation ink to make these
Yes but you can also order preprinted sheets from Etsy or lots of vendors on the internet
I thought that the white vinyl showed the brightest sublimation on the sticky side, like when you do the dollar tree glass cutting board.
I haven’t tried that yet but I will!
Hi, thank you for share! Just I have a quick question, did you sublimated on regular permanent vinyl? 🙏 thank you
Yes
@@CorinneBlackstone thanks for sharing your knowledge, you are a great teacher! I started to follow you on instagram and subscribed to your newsletter. keep in touch. 😊
@@cristinanc9582 Thank you! I just love sharing my passion! I highly recommend trying sublimation on some of the other light colors of permanent vinyl! its really fun! you can even do Glow in the dark!
@@CorinneBlackstone I’ll try it! Thank you 😊
Hi there, when I press the a sub onto the vinyl for the recommended time frame it doesn’t come out vibrant. It’s very dull. Any idea why?
You may need to adjust the time and temp a bit.
How can you sublimate on htv PLAIN white vinyl NOT GLITTER. Ive tried and barely any colour transfers. Im using cotton baby suits not polyester in Australia.
You can’t. It’s not a polyester product
Hi!! Do you think the sublimation would work on white iron on vinyl ?
No it does not. You need glow in the dark, holographic, or glitter
Thanks for the quick response. I tried this process and it came out very dull on my 651 any suggestions. I tried 1 press and 2 presses.
You only press once. Pressing any longer will dull the image as it reactive a the ink to a gas. If it’s coming out dull you may need to press it a bit longer
@@CorinneBlackstone I pressed it once then pulled edge and was dull so tried a little more
Seems like the paper is sticking to the vinyl. I use a sub. I tried wiping and came off but still dull.
What would be the purpose of putting sublimation on vinyl? i'm new to sublimation
Vinyl is waterproof a lot of people will sublimate on clear to use in place of waterslide which requires a lot more work. Also you can make your own permanent patterned vinyl this was as well.
How much pressure do you use and what amount of cool down time did you use here?
Medium pressure and I just let it cool until I can touch it
Can I use my inkje printer with SUBLIMATION paper please.
No. It has to be sublimation ink and sublimation paper to work
You don’t say how you get to the blanks section in 143 vinyl
www.143vinyl.com/blanks/?partner=196113
Question: could you sublimate directly on the acrylics?
Yes as long as it is cast acrylic you can sublimate on it
Did you put anything on the coaster to protect the photo from fading?
Disregard, I just saw the same question and answer above. I am so excited to try this method.
Do you mind me asking where are you getting all your licensed images? I want to find a place to buy some images but that is on the legitimate side especially when coming to things like this.
All the places I get my images is listed in the video description. There’s a whole list of all good places with commercial use license. I hope that helps! :)
Can you sublimate a picture to be used on 100% cotton or is it just for stickers?
This is adhesive vinyl not for fabrics. You can use this method for cotton shirts ua-cam.com/video/7S6LFVU8_VA/v-deo.html
Can I do that method on wood to
Not exactly. Some wood requires a laminate for it to be sublimated on. Now if you mean can you place vinyl like this on wood absolutely! :)
dont those coasters already have the sublimation coating?
These are made with cast acrylic so yes they could be sublimated on however because they are clear it would be hard to see the design or you would need to do something light colored on the other side to make it show. There are lots of ways to decorate a blank this is just one of a million options
So will the clear vinyl outline show up under epoxy
I find if you don’t sand it doesn’t but sanded it seems to
can you put white vinyl onto it and sub later?
Yes. This acrylic should be able to stand the heat
so do you think sublimating on that vinyl on those coasters would be better than laminated sticker paper?
I think it’s a fun alternative
@@CorinneBlackstone it's always a bonus to be able to sublimate on anything I agree
Will the ink wash off if you used as a car decal?
Nope I’ve had mine on my truck for a couple month still holding good
Hi 😁 is the finished product waterproof?
Yes
I am a newbie, i have joined your group and went ahead to download the info on your vidieo on colour strips paid my fee but nothing happened, need help
I don’t know what fee you are talking about or where you are trying to download from.
Is it better to use matte clear vinyl or doesn’t it matter?
It really doesn’t matter. Whatever you like best. The clear is going to need a solid color for the images to show up really well though. Like you’ll need to put it on something solid
Would this work with neenah transfer paper?
No clue never heard of it
Would this work with infusible ink?
Yes infusible ink is just pre printed sublimation
Any issues with durability or ink run/fade after a while??
Nope none at all. I’ve been using these in my truck since I made them have washed them a bunch of times they still look good as new
is there a clear vinyl that is compatible with dye sub?
So to be honest I don't know ton about dye sub and how it may differ from sublimation ink I use. I would image from what I have read that the starcraft HD should work but I can't promise it will
Do you have to Seal it with anything?
Nope not at all’
So you can sub on white adhesive? I know you can’t on htv so I never tried adhesive.
You sure can. Clear too
Do you find that pressing onto clear is a lot more vibrant? I find that any time I press to white vinyl (matte or gloss) it isn't as vibrant as when I press to clear vinyl. Do you use oracle?
I did! I thought it was just me but the clear really is bright
Also realized I missed your other question. No my supplier doesn’t carry oracal anymore I use Avery, Starcraft, styletech and siser
@@CorinneBlackstone one more question- how does your sub paper not stick to the vinyl? I always have to dampen the paper to get it off the vinyl. I use oracle because I can’t get any other clear permanent here in Ontario/Canada. At least I haven’t been able to find any.
@@daniellerobbins2529 I think I’m just lucky but our house is also SUPER dry so I think that helps
@@CorinneBlackstone If I peel while still hot the paper comes off, but unless I am super careful, it tends to pull up the sides of the vinyl too. Frustrating at times. The only work around I have found is to press onto a large piece of vinyl, so I can cut away the 'peeled' edges...
I get white splotches when I try to sublimate on oracle 651 white or clear - any ideas why? some of it wipes off but not all of it
You may need to adjust the temp a bit
@@CorinneBlackstone would you recommend higher or lower
@@TJ-yk8tq lower
I did this and the sublimation paper left a film in the vinyl so the words are dull. How do I fix that?
Use a baby wipe and clean it or put it under water and wipe with a damp rag or sponge
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks Corrine! I had a mild clorox wipe, and it seemed to work but when it dried the opaque film was still there.
@@CorinneBlackstone can this technique work with glass
@@debbiepozun3469 yes you can apply the vinyl
to glass and yes you can clean glass like this too
Is the sublimation ink waterproof?
Yes it is
Any reason why you uploaded to Canva in lieu of Cricut?
Cricut really is terrible for printing sublimation. The color isn’t great and it wastes ink and materials
I've tried this so many ways, but I still get like a weird vintage look on my vinyl from my image. What am I doing wrong? 😕
If you mean faded you’re not heating enough if you mean like distressed or cracked looking you may need to wipe it off with a baby wipe
It's like distressed looking and weird. I've tried going 60 seconds, 40 seconds, higher heat, and lower heat. Idk what else to do 🥺
so does it mean I can also sublimate on white HTV ?
No white htv does not work
Can you sublimate both sides?
No. The other side is adhesive so it will stick to the paper
I have a question… why didn’t you just sublimate directly onto the blank? Why did you sublimate on the vinyl and then stick to the blank?
Because the type of acrylic these were made with at the time would not allow sublimation. It also tends to warp acrylic when sublimating on to it
You should just sub to the coaster and then put the white backing
That is another option to do this. However I did it and the flowers did not show as much as I would have liked them do. It’s all personal preference
