It’s sooo tricky! I hated wasting so many ornaments! I got lots of tips from different videos but not all in the same video 🫠 hopefully people will find this video first!
Many thanks for your video! I am thrilled that I can now offer my customers ceramic ornaments again. In the past I broke so many ornaments when using my regular 16 x 20 swing away press. Sometimes the first side would turn out great but the 2nd side would be faded. When I would adjust the pressure they would just crack. Wasted so much time and money, I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. You've just gained a new fan and a new subscriber.
Great tutorial! I usually don’t write a comment but I wanted to tell you how good your videos are. ❤ I watch ALOT of how-to vids and now you are my top how-to content creator! Very well thought out and delivered. I learned a lot! You got a new subscriber. 😊
I bought the box of 25, so far I have gone through 10 with mistakes. Tried all different temps and time. Using clam shell, hippo ink, A sub paper. the tutorial was great just can't figure out what to do , so far this is $$ to try and get even one perfect. One side is lettering the other is a picture.
Wow I bought some from JoAnn's - just did my first sublimation ever - they said 356 degrees for 80 seconds...definitely needed more time! I wish I saw this first! Thank you for your video!!
Thank you for going through Adobe Illustrator. Just a great reminder of the process (steps) for making the design. It's hard to find a tutorial that starts with an Adobe program. Well done!
Thank you for this super helpful tutorial! Now I understand why it’s best to press both sides at the same time! 💡 Just curious: if I decide to press one side at a time and place a a mini press pad or piece of wood on the already-printed side (facing up?), do you think it might help prevent that first side turning into a gaseous state? Thanks, again!
That’s interesting.. I’ve pressed the sides separately a ton of times and there was never any bit of fading to the other side - but hey, you never know. I’d rather press both at same time though. I will def try. Thanks
I got different results each time! But definitely best results do a single side ornament or both sides at the same time. It’s so crazy how there are so many ways to complete a project!
Hi Jennifer. I've been making sub ornaments for a gift shop. I was asked if I can sublimate onto a plastic Christmas ball. I've tried two different kinds of vinyl but there's just too many wrinkles. Might you have any suggestions?
Thank you for your sharing, based on your advice I have started selling Ceramic ornaments on etsy. However, do you have any advice on quality ormanent suppliers?
Congrats on starting your Etsy store! For quality ceramic ornament suppliers, I recommend Merchize. In my experience, they offer high-quality ceramics, great printing, and fast shipping. Definitely worth checking out!
thank you, but I am having issues for some reason the art is not passing all the way not sure if it is not too much time of not too much pressure is passing to the sides but not the center
currently have an original cameo and wondering if the upgrade to the cameo 5 is worth it? The cameo 5 bundle +designer edition is on sale for $279. Our primary use will be sticker making as my daughters would like to start their own little business but in reality it would just be a hobby of making stickers. Any help would be appreciated
Thank you so much. I referenced your video for sublimating some ceramic Christmas ornaments for gifts. Again, thank you so very much. Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 Donna Coastal Georgia
Sometimes you cut out the round hole or included it in the design and sometimes you didn't. Does it make a difference? The hole where you put the string through
I have the exact same heat press and my ornament burn when I leave them past 60 seconds . I don’t know what could be going wrong but I went through 2 box’s of ceramic ornaments I had to throw away and yes my ornaments are for sublimation. So I don’t know what I could be doing wrong even the padding burned underneath in certain places .
I love when you validate what I do with my crafts. I wish you had this tutorial up last year..it took me FOREVER to figure this out!

My deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of Ellie! Pets are so wonderful!!
Thank you so much! She was my sister in law’s dog and was the sweetest girl! There is definitely a void without her around!

Great video! Do you plan to do another showing how to design to fit different shaped ornaments like stars, trees, feathers etc? 🙏🏻🙏🏻
thank you, but I am having issues for some reason the art is not passing all the way not sure if it is not too much time of not too much pressure is passing to the sides but not the center
They’re sooooo pretty.

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!!
Awesome!! We have those blanks too! Love your works!🥰

I never cut it out! I just use it when designing my ornaments to ensure nothing is weirdly cut off :)
Excellent video! Thanks for this.
Thank you. Very helpful.
can I use a regular printer?
You cannot- it needs to be sublimation ink.
What program do you use?
Adobe Illustrator
thank you so much for the great tutorial!
I am going to try this. So far double sided has not worked for me.... they were a disaster.
I have the exact same heat press and my ornament burn when I leave them past 60 seconds . I don’t know what could be going wrong but I went through 2 box’s of ceramic ornaments I had to throw away and yes my ornaments are for sublimation. So I don’t know what I could be doing wrong even the padding burned underneath in certain places .
Maybe your heat press is not working correctly. It might be hotter than what you are setting it at. Just an idea I had after reading your comment.
Also my black comes out brown and if I use brown it gives my whole ornament a beige hue to it please help !! 😢
If the black ink turns brown that means it's burnt. You're either doing it too hot or timing it too long
