Hi Tanner! Love how u tested all the different products💕. I think it’s very important to note that when sublimating or using infusible ink, ur material ( make up bag, shirts, hats, gloves, etc ) must be the highest polyester u can get in order for it to actually stay after washing. As long as the polyester content is higher than let’s say cotton, it will work. 100% cotton will wash away. Dollar tree has the pocket pot holders & they r 100% polyester great for sublimating, yes their colors r dark, but I used black infusible ink & it looks awesome💕. I hope u don’t mind my input. Now I can not wait to try it on the wood shapes💕🥰. Love hugs blessings & prayers, Donna 🥰🙏💕
So that’s the trick!!! Ty, Ty, Thank you! Not sure where I was or what I could have possibly been when learning about sublimation but I’m glad I clicked in this video and saw your comment!!
Thank you Donna for taking time to comment. It’s very helpful to me as I’m actually looking to do an old family recipe he written by a deceased family member on a pot holder as a gift to my mother-in-law.
I am in heaven because I am the merchandise manger at a Dollar Tree. I got tired of waiting on the weeks it took on the background check so I just reorganized the sticker department. I was hired the next morning. Needless to say the first isle I reset was the craft isle. Now customers complement me on the isle saying it looks better than any Dollar Tree in north west Arkansas. 🤩 I look forward to following you.
I've been sublimating on the glass cutting boards DT sells. I was not able to find any plain clear ones, so I ordered a case from their website, and they came with both clear and some with designs on them. HOWEVER... the designed ones can somewhat easily be made clear. I fill the sink with water, dish soap and vinegar. Soak overnight or for at least a couple of hours. Then take a razor blade or scraper and remove. I have had some remove in one full sheet. The way I sub on them is actually to sub onto white permanent vinyl (not HTV) that is applied to the back of the board. You don't mirror and yes, the design comes through the vinyl and visible from top! I had seen someone do it and couldn't believe it until I tried it myself. I love hitting DT to find random things to try!
DT is great for beginners like me. I've tried sublimating on wood, towels, and canvas panels all worked well. Sometimes I think items work better with a real press vs an easy press
@@sirt358 You can apply Minwax Polycrylic, or thermal laminating sheets (available in the office supply store). The sublimation paper may stick to it but you can scrub it with a little water and your image shouldn't be affected.
It appear that Makers Gonna Learn doesn't reply often but I am hoping you will answer this. You got such a great result printing on the wood items. What is your secret. I can't get that vivid of a color, including after painting,
Hey Tanner. Just watched this video. Thanks for trying all the items that you did. For any of the stretchy items like the hat, gloves socks you should put a template inside to stretch them so the ink gets inside the groves. I sublimated socks and always use a template. You can cut a cereal box or any food boxes and use them as a disposable template.
Makers Gonna Learn - Can you please do a follow up showing how everything held up when it was either washed or got wet? I’m curious to see how these items hold up after washing.
17:38 hello! Love your ideas! For the wooden ornaments, did you sublimate directly on the wood, or did you prep it with polycrylic or laminate? Thank you again 🤗 have the best day!
So many of those things I had assumed were cotton and never even considered. What if you stretched the stretchy things out over some sort of form to sublimate them? I’m thinking they would be more intense when not stretched, and still look good when stretched?
I enjoyed your video but would have to disagree with the Teflon sheet comment. It's way better to use butcher paper on substrates to avoid overheating and blowout. It's been a game changer piece of advice for me. I only use the Teflon sheets for HTV now.
I tried to sublimate on a mug at the dollar tree with my cricut mug press and it didnt work. I've been making sublimate cancer items for a boutique Im a part of. How did you do the tin can when the irons are flat and you usually iron back and worth? Those turned out so good!!
Do you have any videos comparing results from "regular" sublimation and sublimation done with Siser Easy Subli? I want to delve into sublimation and am really leaning toward the Siser Easy Subli, the only hesitation is the issue getting the Easy Subli sheets (they have been out of stock everywhere). Thoughts & ideas please!
This was super informative. I've been using the white microfiber automotive towels for doing color tests on photographs. That way I don't ruin as many blanks
I just did this recently! I pressed four images of same picture on one, and added text for what the settings were (Photoshop manages colors, printer matches colors, edited vs. original photo, etc.)
OK Please “be kind folks”. Question: Is Sublimation the same as heat transfers? Or Rub on transfers? Where do you get yours? Do you make them from Cricut machine? 😜👋
Wow!!!! I don’t know where you are but that’s the biggest and most organized Dollar Tree I have seen. It’s huge and has so much more than ours here in Baltimore
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am juuuuuuuuuust learning! I've had my cricut a week! LOL! Your videos have been incredibly helpful when I want to throw in the towel!
I actually did manage to sublimate on Dollar Tree wrapping paper the other day (it was the back side of a pink paper and the blowout on my press was intense, but it did work)
Good evening, I hope you are well. I am following you from France and I wanted to thank you because thanks to your channel I could discover the potential of the cricut machines something that was not really known in France in 2019. I would also like to know where I could find the wall baskets that are behind you. Thank you and good continuation
Hi. I’m new to sublimation! How do we determine temperatures and time to press for? I have the larger Cricut heat press and want to try some of these items out! Thank you!
Thank you for this tip! I bought several of the leopard print makeup bags for the same goal but haven't tried decorating them yet. Maybe putting a piece of heat press foam or a towel inside the bag first will prevent it from melting to itself?
The oven mitt that's 100% cotton will wash out. Sublimation needs polyester fibers to hold on to. Sublimation ink cannot hold on to 100% cotton. If it isn't I'd say, for me at least 65% polyester I won't even mess with it.
So glad to see so many examples of different items you have tried. I was watching to see how the sublimation on wood turned out. Not sure if anything was shown, maybe the butterfly? Was it wooden? I need to make a trip to DT and try some wood items.
If you heat 1 sheet protector piece (pull it in two) press that onto your surface first like wood, or dry erase, then sub over the top of it your colors are much more vibrant like how the wood pieces turned out. Also you can paint on polycrilic onto wood and let it dry then when you sub onto the wood it’s very vibrant colors!
@@7eather - My DT has hardly any craft items. I went to visit family in another state and was amazed at how large their craft area was, and the variety! I took several things home with me!!
What settings did you use for the infusible ink for Katie on the hat? Every setting I try on my maker 3 either years it or doesn’t cut all the way through
What kind of white paint did you use on the butterfly. Also we couldn't see the end result of most of the items you did. You need to actually show it to the camera
@@jackijordan1556 I appreciate that you took the time to answer my question. What makes the Epson work for sublimation? Do they have different printer heads?
I was thinking the same thing when he held it up and sat it back down. But toward the end Im 99% sure he says it is an eye glass case/holder. I hope that helps. I know he was trying to get through all of the items & that was a lot of information. It would be very easy to miss something, even as great job as he did !!!!!!:)
@@BCFD1220 thanks. Now that I watched all the way through again, I saw it and even heard him say what it was. I must’ve been distracted by a squirrel the first time! LOL 😂
Do you buy totes in bulk and who do you buy from, because most dealers on Amazon even though they have a good rating when you look at the bad ratings it’s because the bags come in in really bad shape (and they post the pictures). So I have a problem buying from somebody that’s like throwing the dice and I may get snake eyes or maybe I get bit by the snake .

I agree about the real press (like a clamshell or swing away press) getting better results. You can get a lot more pressure.
Sorry to bother the wood you sublimate directly to the Wood or Do you put something?
@@sirt358 You can apply Minwax Polycrylic, or thermal laminating sheets (available in the office supply store). The sublimation paper may stick to it but you can scrub it with a little water and your image shouldn't be affected.
Thumbs up but could not see the results on some of those :) A final close up shot of the items on the table would have been awesome.
Yes, I was going to say the same thing until I saw your comment. This was a great video, just had a hard time seeing some of the items.
Thank you for this video! Zooming in on the products when you’re trying to show us “issues” would help us see the products more!
You're welcome!
Try putting cardboard into the sock to stretch them out then sublimate onto them
YYYYAAYYYYYY COURTNEY!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM AND GREAT GUIDANCE. YOU ARE APPRECIATED.
You are so welcome!
I would be really curious to see how the fabrics items do after washing.
I tried hand towels and the sublimation washed away after one washing!
@@barbsmerkar6112 you gotta make sure they are more than 50% polyester if not it will wash out
Yes he should of washed as a demonstration
@@barbsmerkar6112 even 65% polyester will wash out and fade.
It would be interesting to see how the sublimation would turn out on the stretchy items if you were to stretch them out BEFORE the process.
This is what I do. And it turns out great.
A plain sketchbook with someone's name or design would be so cute for a little artist 🎨
It appear that Makers Gonna Learn doesn't reply often but I am hoping you will answer this. You got such a great result printing on the wood items. What is your secret. I can't get that vivid of a color, including after painting,

Yay! Thank you!
Makers Gonna Learn - Can you please do a follow up showing how everything held up when it was either washed or got wet? I’m curious to see how these items hold up after washing.
my thoughts exactly since most of these you will wash
My thoughts too. You can sub on anything. However it will wash out when washed
Will the Cricut infusible ink sheets work as well?
17:38 hello! Love your ideas! For the wooden ornaments, did you sublimate directly on the wood, or did you prep it with polycrylic or laminate? Thank you again 🤗 have the best day!
Man I just love your personality! Just a beautiful soul

Pretty sure he meant in addition to butcher paper, use both on those types of materials!

Very interesting ideas! I’m wondering if Cricut Infusible Ink can be used in the same way on the items that worked i.e the eyeglass pouch etc.
Infusible ink is sublimation ink.
Their baby blankets are 100% polyester and sublimate beautifully
Hey there! Is the butterfly wood? Also, what kind of paint did you use? Did you laminate ? Thanks!!!
Now I have more reasons to go to Dollar Tree tomorrow. Just started sublimating and I love it!! Thanks Tanner and crew!
Hello,
I have a question. Whats the difference between sublimation, printable iron on and htv in quality?
Htv is vinyl, not ink…sublimation is an ink transfer, like CRICUT makes for their mugs.
Wish you had a camera showing down on your work, its hard to see how things turned out.
Thank you
I know..I guess his producer isn’t that good like he’s saying
Me too, it’s far away.

I want to delve into sublimation and am really leaning toward the Siser Easy Subli, the only hesitation is the issue getting the Easy Subli sheets (they have been out of stock everywhere).

Have you tried sublimation on white glitter/htv vinyl? And on clear htv vinyl? I have not, but have seen videos that it works!

Thanks to tanner im able to use HTV and make clothing items so well everyone wants to buy a hoodie
My favorite kind of video!!! Thank you, Tanner!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Did they stay on after washing them though. Because mine didn't stay on.
What would happen if you stretched fabric before the sublimation process? Like the socks, stocking hats?
I actually did manage to sublimate on Dollar Tree wrapping paper the other day (it was the back side of a pink paper and the blowout on my press was intense, but it did work)
I loved this! Dylan I’m pulling over!!
So glad you loved it!

I am new to sublimination and excites to watch how to do it! Thank you
Welcome welcome!

Hi, so you can do sublimation on wood? (cool) what temperature?
WHy did the baby bibs work? Don't they have plastic on the back that would melt with high heat?
OMG...I was watching this video and said "this is my $-tree!" Hello from Russellville. Loved the video.
Thank you! We're glad you liked it.
Tfs xoxox and Merry Christmas 🎅 🤶 🎄 what temp and time did you use for application on products?
i am new to sublimation. People say your items must have a sublimation coating on the items. You are saying that the coating does not matter, correct?
Hi. I’m new to sublimation! How do we determine temperatures and time to press for? I have the larger Cricut heat press and want to try some of these items out! Thank you!

Which paint did you use for the butterfly? Thanks!
Thank you, video was great ! This is great to take the scare out of sublimation for beginners !
can you make a video on time and temps for your items? and what kind of paint did you use to paint the butterfly before you subed on it?
Hi there, did you have to prep these items before sublimating? did those bibs and socks sublimate on towelling?
Whats the difference between sublimation are just heat tranfer vinyl? I just got a cricut but idk what sublimation is
So these are not cricut infusable ink paper. Is this printing with a.ink jet printer on what kind of paper?
When done on fabric is it washable? I make quilts which are washed a lot.
Would you recommend?
I would love to personalize
Did you do anything to the wood before subbing on them? (Trees)
I tried applying Htv to the cosmetic bags and the fabric is like 100% poly so it actually fused the bag on the inside
Thank you for this tip! I bought several of the leopard print makeup bags for the same goal but haven't tried decorating them yet. Maybe putting a piece of heat press foam or a towel inside the bag first will prevent it from melting to itself?
It works fine if you put something like a piece of cardboard inside before pressing.
@@aprilmayjune68 yeah I learned that the hard way
This was amazing! Thank you for sharing with the newbies
You're welcome!
Dry erase board try 400 for 85 sec firm pressure, they turn out better. Also the toilet paper do 394 for 40 sec Medium pressure. Great video

This was awesome! Thank you for taking all of the work out for us. Now we know and can get right to the fun. 😃

For the little buckets, could you use the Cricut hat press?
Nice video, but like with tin can did you coat it with anything before sublimating?
This was such a fun video to watch!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Interested in knowing the time and temp settings you used on the dollar tree items ?
A starting point on time, temp settings
Did you put polycrylic on the bucket, dry erase board, and wood first.
Hi, i wish there were close up shots on the items.
ok am i missing somethign here how are u able to do this when it has to have a certain coat for things like mugs and have to be polyester not cotton
I've heard you can use high grade copy paper as a sublimation sheet..would love to see you test this theory.
I have done that and it worked fine
Hammermill copy paper
It doesn't even need to be high copy paper yes it works
If you heat 1 sheet protector piece (pull it in two) press that onto your surface first like wood, or dry erase, then sub over the top of it your colors are much more vibrant like how the wood pieces turned out. Also you can paint on polycrilic onto wood and let it dry then when you sub onto the wood it’s very vibrant colors!

Nice but I didn't see the make-up bag? Did I miss it?
Im so excited!! Ty for this video
Hello. Was excited to see the projects but disappointed I couldn’t see close up on them all.
Where was the leopard print cosmetics case?
Can you sublimate on the flat (not stretched) canvas?
Love your videos. Where do you get the “transfers” to iron on the items? Thank you.
i wish my dollar tree was this organized and had this good of a selection 😂

Could you not in theory sublimate wrapping paper if you scanned the pattern on your sublimation paper.
I use thermal laminate sheets to sublimate on the dry erase boards from dollar tree and they come out SOOO vibrant!
Good to know!
Random question but where did you get your Yukon craft table? Or did y’all make that? Thanks and awesome video!!!
