Bet Ya Didn’t Know You Could SUBLIMATE THAT!

hold your horses guys because today we're going to talk about all of the materials that I bet you didn't know you could s mate my name is Lauren and I'm a craft producer here at makers going to learn and here on our Channel we bring you inspiration education and motivation about all things crafty now let's talk about it did you know that you can sublimate everything that you see here on this table now some of the things you may already know that you can sub but I bet there is some that you had no clue now before we start talking about all of these one thing I want to make sure that you guys know is that we have been so gracious and we have linked every single project video down below so that if you see something here on the table that you want to learn how to seate you can go straight to that instructional video but do not go anywhere because I really think you're going to want to stick around CU I think you're going to be super impressed at everything you're about to see let's start out over here on our left we're going to start out talking about these two things here this glass trivet and this dry rase board y'all these are amazing sublimation projects but did you know that there are so many things that you can purchase that are already sublimation ready there are suppliers out there that have amazing blanks that you can purchase that are ready for sublimation and these two are some of our fa especially these dry erase boards these are great for projects for little ones in your life for teaching them how to write or creating a to-do list or a chart for your home we love these projects but on top of that they have other things such as this glass trivet that you can purchase that is already sublimation ready so just know that there are so many things out there that are sublation ready that you can purchase other than shirts and textiles now while we're on glass trivet y'all let's talk about one of my favorite sublimation projects this is a Dollar Tree Glass trivet now there is a technique when it comes to sublimating on this surface you can't just take glass and sublimate on any glass for this what we have done is we have taken a laminating sheet and added the laminating sheet to this glass and then sublated on the glass it gives you a beautiful stained glass effect and it is probably one of my favorite ways to take any surface that is nons sublimatable and make it a sublimation ready project and while we're talking about laminating sheets did you know that you can add laminating sheets to both tile and wood to create amazing culation products let's go overhead so you can see these up close here on the left you can see we've added a laminating sheet to this wood round to make a super cute car charm I just love the way that this looks it comes out super clean and crisp and then here on the right we have added a laminating sheet to a regular floor tile and then we were able to sublimate on top of that to make a super cute air besque ornament for your Christmas tree I just absolutely love adding laminating sheets to things that I never thought I would be able to sublate another one of those while we're overhead is a Dollar Tree canvas I mean y'all look at this I was able to add a laminating sheet to the top of a Dollar Tree board canvas and sublate a super cute picture of Asher on here like I said earlier this is probably my favorite way to sublate is adding those laminating sheets next up did you know that that you can sublate on paper y'all now before I talk about this let's be clear not all paper is made the same you can only sublimate on glitter paper however you can't sublimate on all glitter paper this sublimation paper is actually from celebration Warehouse our friend Ashley Falco has some amazing glitter paper that you can sublimate on now let's go ahead and hop over to her website so I can really show you which one you need to purchase to be able to Sate on her white glitter card stock now that we're here the first place that you need to go is her glitter card stock section because you can only Sate on glitter card stock and the reason being is because glitter is a synthetic material so it has to be on there to be able to subate now she has two different white Glitters and white glitter is the best for sublating on you need to choose the new white glitter option this is the sublimation ready white glitter so it does say sublimation white glitter card stock this is the one you need to choose however there is a difference in the two so let's go overhead so I can show you in person the difference between these two glitter card stocks here you can see this one is the sublimation glitter card stock it's super super shiny I feel like you can see it a lot more than this one this is her original design it's still a very beautiful card stock but it doesn't have a super glittery effect it is the one that has the Super glittery effect that you can see is the one that is sublimatable now remember I said that those videos were linked down below that video is a good one to watch it was a very much trial and error video for us and there were some big epic fails in that but we did learn that the card stock from celebration Warehouse is absolutely the best card stock to sublate on and really the only one that we have found next up let's talk about the textiles that you can sublimate on if you have been around the sublimation world and you've been in it before you know that you have to have a high polyester count to be able to sublimate on a textile for example this pillowcase is a satin pillowcase that is a 100% polyester and gives you an amazing sublimation result we love to sublimate on things like this one way to determine if something can be sublimated on is by looking at the tag so we'll go over ahead and I'll show you the thing that you need to look for is the material top so you can see it says satin pillowcase and the care instructions but coming down here it says 100% microfiber polyester so it is 100% po polyester meaning that it is a sublimatable textile now you can also sublimate on poly blend shirts and this is a really good example this sweatshirt is a 50/50 cotton poly blend and it is sublimatable you can Subway on it just know that with a blend shirt you may not get as Rich of the colors as you are wanting but you they still look great if you are someone that doesn't like the feel of polyester I know there are a lot of people out there that just do not like the feel of the polyester shirts and things like that you can sublimate on cotton and there are a couple ways that you can do that the first way that you can sublate on Cotton is by purchasing sublimatable HTV now we have found that our favorite sublimatable HTV is going to be HTV rant you can get this on Amazon it is also linked down below but you need to be careful and make sure that you are purchasing the right kind for the project that you are completing for example the shirt that we have here we have used the sublimatable HTV for dark colors and what that is is it gives you a white HTV that you can sublimate on top of now if you are wanting to subate on a white cotton shirt you can purchase this one which is actually a clear HTV so you do not have a white outline this is great for white or lighter colors and then this one that specifically says sublation HTV for dark colors is the white one which is great for darker colors or if you do want a white background especially for black next up is one that is going to be something that you probably had no clue you could sublimate and that is canvas now canvas is a 100% cotton material but I wanted to show you guys this just so you all know that you can supp on Cotton just know that it will wash out however for certain projects like the patch on this hat we really wanted to go for a vintage worn in Vibe and you can see overhead that that is what this gives us we were able to sulate on canvas which is a cotton material but like I said this is not something that we're going to be putting through the wash very often or if at all so it is going to look great for a very very long time this specific hat we sublimated probably over a year and a half ago and this is what it still looks like next textile that I want to talk about is neoprene neoprene is an amazing synthetic material that we can sublate on for Koozies mouse pads and so much more neoprene really gives you a great color payout the biggest drawback when suating on neoprene is getting those harsh edges if you cut your sublimation Design This is the very material that you must always go back and tear your edges you never want to have a straight across Edge that's just been cut with scissors if you are sublimating on neoprene because what's going to happen is the neoprene is going to heat up and the design is going to sink down in it and that pressure is going to create those harsh lines so if you do sulate on neoprene always make sure that you tear your edges so it gives it more of like a feathered effect and you cannot see the ages of where you cut your sublimation print the next material that I want to talk about is one that I personally do not 100% recommend if you are a sublimation beginner however it is a super cool material that you would never think that you could sublate on and that is acrylic acrylic is one of those materials that does take some time learning exactly how to sublimate and what is best when it comes to sublimation one of the things that I want to be clear is you going to want to sublimate the back if you're sublimating acrylic you're going to sublimate the back of it so you're not going to mirror your design you're just going to place it on the back and you want to see it through the top now there is a process when it comes to sublimating on acrylic so if this is something maybe you have been in the sublimation world for a while and you want to try it definitely make sure you check out this tutorial below because you're going to want to make sure you watch it before you start the last material that I want to talk about is sublimation sticker paper now if you've been around our Channel you know that there for the longest time I didn't find a reason to subate on sticker paper especially if you are a Cricut user or a diecut user and You' use an inkjet printer to do print and cut however I am eating my words and I will say that I truly like the results of this sublimation sticker paper and it is one that I would highly recommend if you have already started suating and you haven't tried the brand that we really like is the HTV rant sublimation sticker paper but I do want to make sure that you all know and understand that they have much like their HTV they have two different topes they have a completely white sublimation sticker paper and they have a clear sublimation sticker paper now always make sure you check your descriptions before purchasing and if you have have both of them one thing I highly suggest is making sure you check the corner because for example I'm not really sure if this one is the white or the clear but what I would do before is you're going to want to take the corner and make sure you check this one is the white so if I'm wanting a solid sticker I'm going to choose the white if the project that you are completing would look better with the clear just know that they have a white sublation sticker paper and a clear I mean y'all did you know that you can sublate on all of these things plus
