Beginners Guide to Sublimation. Learn How to Get Flawless Sublimation Transfers with an EasyPress in Just a Few Simple Steps! Step-by-Step Photo Instructions and Video Tutorial! Sublimation is the process of turning a solid (in this case ink) into a gas using a heat press at a temperature of 400 degrees. The process of sublimation allows the dye to become part of the fibers of the fabric. Sublimation can be used on polyester fabrics or on materials with a polymer coating. For the very best results, use a shirt that is at least 70% polyester. A lower percentage of polyester can yield a slightly vintage look with less vibrant colors. * Polyester Shirt: https://bit.ly/2zfGEm9 * Easy Press or Heat Press (must reach 400 degrees): https://bit.ly/2Y8OJl6 * Pressing Mat: https://bit.ly/2YiGjHM * Butcher or Craft Paper * Sublimation Transfer Sheet: http://tidd.ly/4a830187 * Heat Resistant Tape: https://bit.ly/2YdnhCT * Copy Paper: * Lint Roller: https://bit.ly/3dP9Yis I ordered my sublimation transfer sheet from this shop on Etsy. They offer a variety of different size options, I selected the 8.5" x 11". You can access the exclusive files I used on my shirts and bag by becoming a member of the Poppy Club! You'll get access to monthly printables, SVG cut files, and sewing patterns depending on your tier. Pro Tip- Wipe down your table before laying out any of your materials to remove any fibers, dust, or lint which can interfere with the design. Lay your T-shirt or bag on top of a pressing mat, slide a piece of white copy or cardstock paper inside of the item you are planning on pressing. This will protect the backside of the item from possible ink leaking through from the transfer sheet. Use a lint roller to remove any hair, debris, or lint from the surface of your fabric. Most of the time these specks aren't even visible to your eye but they can cause blue dots to appear after pressing or imperfections if they aren't removed. Gently press the wrinkles out of the shirt with your EasyPress. Wrinkles can also interfere with the design pressing properly. Using heat resistant tape, center the design on the shirt. I like to place my design a few inches from the neckline. You can use a ruler to measure on either side of the transfer to ensure that it's centered. Place a sheet of butcher or craft paper over the design. It should completely cover the area that will be pressed. This will protect the t-shirt from scorching during the transfer process and protect the heat press from getting any ink on it. Press the transfer sheet for 45 seconds at 400 degrees Fahrenheit with medium pressure. Double-check that all of the design is underneath the Heat Press. Ensure that the transfer sheet does NOT move at all during this process as it can cause ghosting. Remove the heat press when the time is up. Allow the transfer sheet to cool and peel off the tape and remove the piece of paper to reveal the design. Remove the transfer sheet in one fluid motion to prevent any ghosting of the design.

Resin is extremely sticky and is hard to remove from clothing and skin. You'll definitely want to at the very least, wear gloves when working with resin! Those who are more sensitive to chemicals should also consider wearing a respirator (use vapor cartridges) or a mask to lessen the effects of coming in contact with resin. Personally, I wear a respirator, gloves, and long sleeves and pants to prevent my skin from coming into contact with resin. I also work in a well-ventilated room with good airflow. It's possible to have an allergic reaction to epoxy. If at any point you experience itching or swelling, discontinue using epoxy resin. I use the 3M 7500 Series Mask with the 3M 60926 Pink Vapor Filter Cartridges. Resin is currently ALL the rage! I couldn't help but jump on this fun trend after seeing it popping up everywhere. -How to Make Epoxy Resin Barrette Hair Clips or Earrings- Resin can look overwhelming to work with, but don't worry, I'll share all of my tips and tricks to get you started and creating like a pro! Begin by warming your resin in hot water. This helps to raise the temperature of the resin allowing it to mix more easily and also decrease the number of bubbles that form during the mixing process. I usually let me resin warm for about 10-20 minutes while I prep my table with a plastic covering, organize my supplies, and get my molds ready. Remove the resin and resin hardener from the hot water bath and dry the bottles completely. you don't want to accidentally incorporate any water into the resin as you are pouring it.

Has it been forever since you printed off photos!?! Thanks to Mixbook, I can create beautiful photo memory books at the touch of a button. I’m not even joking, it’s so EASY that my girls helped me make this book. And by “MAKE” I mean we selected our favorite family photos from the past year and Mixbook automatically placed them in our book for us. The best part? I don’t have to live with mom guilt about not scrapbooking their every waking moment because my kids are obsessed with our new photos books. And I just love reminiscing on our favorite family memories over and over! You can use the code SRP50 to take 50% off of your first Mixbook photo book.
