Sublimate on Canvas with a Thermal Laminating Sheet | Sublimation Hack | Sublimation Tutorial

Episode 39 - Sublimate on Canvas with a Laminating Sheet // Sublimation Tutorial // Crafting Tutorial // SUblimation Hack // DIY | Check out this awesome hack on how to sublimate using a thermal laminating sheet! Since sublimation has to be on polyester items, sometimes those blanks are more expensive or hard to find. Use a laminating sheet to hack the system and give many other surfaces a poly coating to allow it to sublimate! That means you can make even a $1 canvas from Dollar Tree beautiful with a print of your choice! Products used are below. Thanks for stopping by my channel.

Thank you!!!

[@LanceMcGrew]

Using the 1.5m rather than 3m will allow the canvas texture to show better

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

Thanks! I will have to try that!

[@FoxySparkles]

Are the thermal laminating sheets very similar to clear HTV?

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I don't believe so. I have never used clear HTV though.

[@brendacordell423]

Does the laminate affect the canvas texture? Thanks for the info. And I laughed a couple of times. You sound like me, oh man and it's hot. 🔥😃

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I can still see the texture of the canvas through the laminate. Haha. :) Thanks for watching. :)

[@MarkOrsted]

So. The laminate side of the canvas gets the sublimation sheet is that correct ?

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

That is correct. Thanks for watching!

[@sweetbutsassy1]

Can you use this hack on galvanized steel sign blanks
?

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I have not tried this on steel. I am not sure if it would work, but you could get a cheap one and try it out!

[@quaradee9957]

Can you use Fellowes Double sided laminate pouches??

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I think as long as they are not the self sealing ones they should work.

[@romeosdaughter]

Is there a link for the laminate?

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

Here is one I have used. amzn.to/44n7rpC

[@debbiegusty]

how do you get the laminating sheet not catch little pieces of fuzz! its so staticy then when i sublimate ontop of the vinyl/laminating sheet any white i can see little pieces of fuzz! drives me crazy. TBut the decal looks awesome except for that!

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I haven't had this happen yet. I don't take the laminating sheet out until I am ready to use it.

[@gogal8]

If the image is slightly larger than the laminating sheet - can you piece it together?

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

You could try! I have not done one larger than the laminating sheet yet.

[@escapedgoat5865]

Does it have to be a certain brand laminate sheet

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

Nope. Just make sure it is not a self-sealing one. :) I use just whatever I have on hand.

[@escapedgoat5865]

@@FlipandFlutterCreations thank you for responding really appreciate it

[@Itzcatherinej]

Sorry... I'm having trouble getting the clear thermal laminate sheet to adhere to the canvas

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

Hi there. Try heavier pressure or more time. Make sure you're using the right laminate sheet and it's facing the right way. If none of those help, let me know!

[@Itzcatherinej]

I can't get the sublimate sheet to adheare to the canvus!!! HELP

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I replied to your other comment. :)

[@mrs.popntrades4590]

My sheets bubble on the wood what might I be doing wrong

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

Are you using them on canvas or wood? What temp? May need to lower it if it's bubbling.

[@mrs.popntrades4590]

@@FlipandFlutterCreations on wood 385 for 60 to 90 seconds

[@FlipandFlutterCreations]

I only do the laminate for 10-15 sec then sub the image on for the 60.

[@jennylowe4486]

@@FlipandFlutterCreations I also tried to laminate a glass trivet for the first time and it came out with air bubble. I actually been looking at videos to see why this might happen and came across your video. So you think I need to lower my temp? think I did it for about 30 sec at 385
