How To Create Custom Sublimation Earrings with the EasyPress Mini

[@dontworrybehappy929]

You are DA BOMB! You're the only person, I can find, who's shown how to sublimate earrings with the Cricut Mini Heatpress. Not sure what the folks with the big presses are thinking. It's no help when most of us only have Cricut HeatPress products.

[@creativefabrica]

Hey there! I do love my Cricut EasyPresses for sublimation, they are super helpful and easy! Thanks for the kind words! ---Becky

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Thank you for sharing! The earrings are very cute! Liz 😊

Just watched the video and you made it look so easy. Ready to take the plunge and dive in and try this project. Thank you for your AWESOME video.

[@creativefabrica]

You are so welcome! You can totally do this!

[@dianemacdonald9121]

Well done Becky!

Those are adorable.

Thanks Bridget! ---Becky

What can I do I don't have silhouette studio I have a cricut maker. Thank you for sharing I love both of them but the pumpkin earrings are my favorite. Thank you again and God Bless you & your family.

[@creativefabrica]

You don't need Silhouette for this project! 😊 You can use a design program you are already using to print out your images to sublimate!

[@janetwallace5780]

I made my first pair of earrings! Your tutorial was great. I used the mini press for 45 seconds as instructed and it worked great. Thank you.

[@creativefabrica]

Awesome job 😍 Keep it up!

Loved them! Thank you Becky!

[@creativefabrica]

Thanks Debbie! ---Becky

[@TheTara148]

What does it mean when you have dark green areas when they should be black? Thank you.

[@creativefabrica]

Great question! The typical rule of thumb is green means not enough heat/time and brown means too much heat/time. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@judyblaise1639]

Where is the auto traced turned on? Earrings are really cute! Thank you!

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Judy! Auto trace is a great default feature, definitely leave it on unless you need to change it for some reason. But you can go to Edit > Preferences > Import tab and find it there. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@martahoshell7934]

Awesome video! Loved the pumpkin earrings. I couldn't find the design in creative fabrica can you share that information please? Thank you.

[@creativefabrica]

Hello! ❤️ Unfortunately that design is no longer available, however we have a ton of other great designs for earrings here: www.creativefabrica.com/search/?query=halloween%2520earrings

[@beckymallin495]

Hello im new to how to make these earrings and wondering can I use my cricut to make these or do I need a silhouette machine. Or what machine can/ do I need in order to make these?

[@creativefabrica]

Hi Becky, the earring blanks can be found in the video description. The designs were sublimated onto the earring using a Cricut EasyPress Mini, however, other sublimation machines will work too 😉

[@RoPlansonEtsy]

I can't find the pumpkin/Halloween earring pattern you used. Can you please point me in the right direction? I love this tutorial btw! You're very through.

[@creativefabrica]

Thank you, glad to hear you loved this tutorial! ❤️ Unfortunately that file is no longer available, however you can find other earring patterns here: www.creativefabrica.com/search/?query=earring%2520pattern&page=3

[@kayb6009]

Would you link what type of heat press you purchased please?

[@creativefabrica]

Hi Kay, here's a link to the EasyPress Mini on Amazon rb.gy/6qrprv 🙂

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I have the dood blanks, can I use laminating sheets and sublimate them that way?

[@creativefabrica]

Yes you could use lamination sheets! 😊

[@wiseaudra]

Can you use wooden blanks or do you need these specific earring blanks?

[@creativefabrica]

You will want to make sure they are sublimatable. 😊

[@patsymartinez2625]

Can heat transfer vinyl be used on sublimation earrings? Or only on wood blank earrings

[@creativefabrica]

You could definitely try HTV on sublimation earrings, but it would probably be cheaper if you used wood blank earrings as sublimation products tend to be a bit more costly. 😊

[@parisharrison6639]

Where do I find the earring size. Do I download from Creative Fabrica?

[@creativefabrica]

Hello! 😊 We have many different earring template sizes you can find here: www.creativefabrica.com/search/?query=earring+template

[@lindawilliams1476]

I have a question from a newbie at making earrings. For the sizing I noticed the teal & black ones measured 1.600-H by 1.109-W individually, together the width was 2.355. But the pumpkin earrings the width was only 2.272 for the pair. Not a huge difference but still a difference. May I ask why? I also want to add that I love your videos I have learned a lot from them. Your voice is not boring either. Thank you!

[@creativefabrica]

Hi Linda, thank you for your question and your sweet comment! We're glad you have learned a lot and we hope you will create some amazing projects :) For your question, these two files were created by two different designers on our platform (the Pumpkin design is unfortunately now no longer available) so the sizing is decided by the designer. You can however of course resize them or leave a review on the product requesting the designer to make them available in more sizes. If you are interested in learning more about this type of craft, we have a similar class available on Creative Fabrica Classes: www.creativefabrica.com/product/learning-to-sublimate-teardrop-earrings/ Happy crafting!

[@CreationsbyKimberly]

Super cute! I will be using the Autopress. What temp and time do you recommend?

[@creativefabrica]

Hey there! I haven't used the Autopress for these, but it should be the same time and temp as here in the video! Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@lexylaney]

What sublimation printer do you use? Nice tutorial.

[@kimriley7898]

What is the paper you’re printing on? I have a heat press would you do 350 then? Great video.

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Kim! I use A-Sub brand sublimation paper, but you can use copy paper in a pinch as long as you press right away. I would use 365-375 degrees on a heat press. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@maureenpeacock5539]

Where to Get the pumpkin design, I can't find it

[@creativefabrica]

Hello Maureen, Unfortunately that design is no longer available. However there are a number of other great designs! ❤️

What kind of paper did you use to print on

A-Sub sublimation paper! 😊

Yes I would like to know that as well (auto traced.) and pls tell me what am I using it for I’m so new at this

[@eXpansiveconsciousness]

What temp & time do you guys do this in the regular heatpress?

[@creativefabrica]

When it comes to sublimation you will want your heat press around 380ºF. 😊

[@eXpansiveconsciousness]

@@creativefabrica Ok. Thank you! 🙏🙂

[@rhodacannon6384]

Can you teach a silhouette studios and how to use it

[@creativefabrica]

Hi Rhoda, Thank you for your comment! We have multiple videos on how to get started with Silhouette Studio - you can watch all the videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnXEh6KYm79kmqM

[@lisabadger603]

Do these earrings get sealant on them? Also what do you charge for them?

[@creativefabrica]

You do not need to seal sublimation. 😊

[@candigates3291]

Could u use a mini iron instead of a heat tpress

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Candi! Usually an iron doesn't have the capabilities for exact temperature adjustments, making it not ideal for sublimation. You could give it a try, but I have not. ---Becky

[@kayb6009]

I have one more question please. What thickness do you prefer in the earrings? I just purchased some and they are very thin.

[@creativefabrica]

Hi Kay, the earrings used in this tutorial are 0.12" thick. If the ones you have are thinner it shouldn't be a problem. We suggest testing them out to see how you like the result😉

[@kayb6009]

@@creativefabrica thank you so much.

[@One2ThreeCreationsbyMonica]

Mine keep coming out blurry and smeared! 😔 Like the heat press moves but it doesn't. What am I doing wrong ?

[@creativefabrica]

We're sorry to hear that ☹️ Did you make sure to use heat tape to keep the design in place? If this doesn't solve the issue, feel free to check our our Classes (www.creativefabrica.com/classes/) and The Artistry blog (www.creativefabrica.com/the-artistry) for plenty of helpful tips and tricks ✨

[@MadeByTriniLena]

I use sawgrass software & there printer, the measurements aren’t correct for some reason, it makes it extremely hard for me to fit my designs on the teardrop earrings

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Arlene! Are you printing from Silhouette Studio or Creative Studio? You may want to check your margins in the printer, that can affect your sizing for sure. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@lesliespiers8407]

question, to do these earring , how much would ALL the equipment cost, to make these?

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Leslie! The earrings are very inexpensive, a full set of 30 pair on Amazon is $13.99 USD. If you divide that out, one pair with the earrings and hardware cost less than 50 cents. The ink is very minimal, and if you print in a gang sheet, paper is minimal also. I would definitely say you can print and press a set of earrings for less than 60 cents total. Now, this is all assuming you have a sublimation printer, heat press and butcher paper. If you do not, then the question becomes what your budget would be to purchase these. Hope this helps! ---Becky

[@esmeraldarivera4890]

Do you mirror them

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Definitely yes

[@creativefabrica]

Hey Esmeralda! Absolutely, you'll want to mirror that majority of your sublimation projects, there are very few exceptions. Hope this helps! ---Becky
