How to sublimate a Dollar Tree travel coffee cup

[@Sam-gm3ow]

I still love making these cups and I use been using 100% acetone nail polish remover from the dollar tree to take the original writing off the cup. It works like a charm😄 thanks again for this video

[@TouchofClassCreations]

That’s awesome, yes the nail polish remover works great, don’t remember who gave the tip but was awesome, I haven’t made one of these in awhile, but I did a crap ton around the time I made this video

[@Sam-gm3ow]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@odebarah]

Get a plastic shoebox, or any rectangular storage basket from dollar tree would work. and a pool noodle from dollar tree. Cut pool noodle and place on the long sides of the box, now you can place your cup between the pool noodles. Keeps your cup in place while you are trying to get the decal on evenly

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Great idea, I already have the pool noodle, was going to build one out of pvc pipe, but your idea is much easier lol!!

[@tfallahay]

Thank you for your quick response about the template. Once the template was downloaded, I printed the template and realized I have 12 oz 2 for a dollar cups from Dollar General. With your template, I was able to reconstruct a template. Now to conquer babbling. Thanks for the instructions, and I look forward to many more.

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Lol, well I am glad it worked out in the end, and thank you again for watching, more videos to come soon!!

[@TouchofClassCreations]

So everyone, just an afterthought, or something I just learned as well since we just started making these 2 weeks ago, mod podge the cup after and will seal and keep laminate from peeling and protect the image.

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I have washed the cups and they have been fine, I’ve heard from others mod podge will seal it longer though, just passing on the info. folks

[@buddysmith7080]

Mod podge is not food safe. I would make sure you drink from the lid and not directly from the edge of the cup.

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I do not or have not used mod podge to seal my cups. As I stated above I have hand washed them a bunch with no problems. I advise customers to hand wash, no dishwasher, and don’t leave sitting in a sink full of water. If they follow that the cup should last a long time. I have seen others say they mod podge to prevent laminate from peeling. And that after mod podge cures for 28 days it is safe. I do not know about that, I will look at the mod podge my wife has for her projects myself when I her home to see if food grade safe or not, but I was just passing info. I had seen from others if anyone was having peeling issues. But thank you for sharing that, I will def be looking into that and if not food safe I will remove the information!

[@araceliramirez6299]

Their is modge podge that is food safe and also polycrylic. I saw these items being mentioned and used on another channel, makers gonna make. The cure time is 28 days I believe. I hope this helps a bit.

[@susannixon181]

everything in the world doesn't have to be "sealed"... IJS

[@jalanepeppin1346]

Just FYI, if you want to take the original image off first just warm the cup up by putting hot water inside then run with rubbing alcohol then wash with dawn 🙂

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Awesome, thank you for that info. I will try that

[@ElizabethRodriguez-jz3od]

Awesome. I just made some but am having trouble with the laminate sticking to my vinyl. Amy suggestions on to resolve this. When I start wrapping the cup the laminate starts detaching from the vinyl.

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Thank you so much for watching! The first thing I would say is make sure you are using 3 mil laminate or thinner, I have tried with 5 mil and had same issue constantly. Other than that I would make sure you are using enough pressure and heat, there have been a lot of questions on this and those are usually the main issues.

[@handichick]

I wanna try this. I found the same type of cups at rite aid with no phrase on it. Not to mention they have $1 32oz water bottles too that would be cool to do this. I’m going to your Etsy site to try and get this template. These make great gifts! Thanks for this video!

[@nancyeaguiar]

Let me see if I understood correctly. You cut the laminate sheet, permanent vinyl and printed sublimation sheet with the cup template. You laminated the vinyl first, and then you sublimated on the laminated vinyl. After that, you wrapped your cup with the vinyl like any other decal...Is that right? I know you don’t have to seal the outside, but do you prep the cup with anything to prevent the decal from coming off? (maybe you said it, but I didn’t catch it) thank you for the tutorial!

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Nancy, you are correct, and did not miss any steps. I do not pretreat with anything, and make sure cups sit 24 hours and tell customers hand wash only, I haven’t had any issues, although I also have heard others sealing with epoxy or mod podge, key is making sure everything is adhered , No overhanging pieces or loose spot

[@melissacoleman8731]

Can you also do this with a Cricut mug press?? AWESOME EXPLAINING!! Thanks

No, unfortunately these are plastic cups, not microwaveable and with the added vinyl would not be dishwasher safe either

[@kaywoodparsons1874]

You mentioned that you cut it with sizzors instead of the machine because it left a line. Up at the top left where the line color selection is at, theres the line size: lower it to zero and it will cut tight around the image. Usually the line size it set higher.

[@HailXenu]

Would you get the same result if you just sprayed the coffee cup with something first and sublimated?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

You would have to have some type of poly based spray for the sublimation ink to adhere to, so I’d imagine if they make a spray it would be easier, but being these are plastic cups I don’t know how you would sub the image to the cup if you had a spray, highly doubt these would hold up to a mug press. And there are surely easier, and probably better methods of doing this, this is just one way I found to do it and shared the info and technique. It’s a nice way to spice up a dollar tree cup and a cheap way to practice subbing and wrapping cups

[@faygopye]

I wonder if you can sub on glossy oracle 651 and skip the laminate? Have you tried? I have a ton of 651 glossy I wonder if that could be laminated also? Or if you could even skip the laminate and sub straight on it...

[@TouchofClassCreations]

U can sub to oracal matte and glossy, I’ve only done it for cutting boards where the sub goes through the front and looks faded but looks vivid on the sticky side, maybe less time and will look vibrant on the non-sticky side. But the image holds really nice in the laminate which is the main reason for the laminate, other than cutting boards I haven’t tried subbing on the straight vinyl, but if u watch the cutting board video I made or any out there and see subbing to vinyl

[@savannahl1475]

Wow that’s amazing but I’m still confused. Lol so you can heat press vinyl?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I think the only reason the vinyl holds up under the heat press is the laminate, if any vinyl is not covered by laminate it melts, but u can heat press vinyl under glass too, see my other video on this channel doing the cutting boards with vinyl and dollar tree cutting boards, that uses no laminate and u sub directly to the oracal 651

[@darnleysmith6845]

Thank you for the video. I have a question.... I am looking into doing Sublimation- Is there a specific ink or printer needed?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Thank you for watching! Yes sublimation requires sublimation ink, and a printer designated specifically for sublimation. You can buy a sublimation printer from person or sawgrass already set up for sublimation, or buy an epson eco-tank and convert it for sublimation. For conversion ideas check-out Facebook group Sublimation Cove, or KZbin, I will have a recommendations page coming soon with links to various different machines and supplies I myself specifically use and can vouch for, in the meantime let me know if I can answer anymore questions and check out the ones I listed

[@ivelissealbino4264]

I need help!!!!! I have done (to me) exactly what you did I heat the laminate shiny side up on top of the permanent vinyl, press it for 20 sec on 400. Then get my sublimation sheet and place it on top of the lamination sheet and press for 60 sec on 400. What is happening to me is that the everything is perfect, but my laminating sheet is not stiking to the vinyl. Not sure if is the bland of the vinyl or the brand of the laminating sheet, but that should not matter because its laminating sheet and the vinyl is permanent like the oracal 651. What am I doing wrong?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

From my experience I have tried this process with 3 mil and 5 mil thickness thermal laminating sheets, so first thing is need to be thermal laminating sheets the self stick adhesive pouches I don’t think work. If your are using thermal I have tried this with 5 mil thermal sheets and they do not stick, I do not know if it is because they are thicker, but the 3 mil ones I’ve never had an issue with, my wife bought home a pack of 5 mil and 3 different cups they wouldn’t stick, drive me crazy til I realized they were thicker, that is the only thing I can think of, hope it helps!

[@adelaidanilo3362]

wOW. Can I do this same technique for coffee mug from dollar tree?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I have never tried with a coffee mug, I don’t know that the laminate would stick, would probably just be better off sublimating coffee mugs, but in theory I don’t see why you couldn’t do this on a coffee mug

[@corameza1989]

Can this template be used on a Cricut Explorer 2 and how do you make the image bend and fit into the template ?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Yes it can, although it is a little tougher with cricut than silhouette, I made another video to show other ways to set up your image in silhouette if drag and drop doesn’t work, the ideas here can be done in cricut as well, like pattern fill for example.

Thank you very much, and welcome to sublimation!! I would not say waterproof, they can be washed and dried, I would not leave them sitting in a sink with water.

Exceptional video! Why did you choose the Cameo over the Cricut? You have both machines. Just curious. I have the Cricut already and was wondering do I need a Cameo.

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I use the cameo because it was the first machine we got and my wife didn’t understand the software, so I learned cameo and then we ended up getting the Cricut for her. Now the one I used is a 4 that has the 15” cut width, so it does cut a little wider, but I used the cameo 3 for the longest and prefer the silhouette software over the Cricut, really the machines will cut the same stuff minus the width, but Cricut software is a bit more restrictive in certain ways, if anything I see a lot of Cricut users using silhouette software for design and setup and then just transfer to Cricut to cut? But if u have no problems with Cricut then it may not matter to you

[@LatinaGem856]

My laminate always seems to crinkle when heat pressed. Any reason why or any pointers on how to avoid that? Thank you!! ❤️

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Hello, thanks for watching, first off double check your heat press if possible to see if presses hotter than readout says, secondly if seems mainly on edges then use a laminate bigger then the template, the laminate seems to protect the vinyl somewhat from the heat, so I generally have just been using full laminate sheet and cutting edges away after pressing, try that and see if that resolves your issues

Thank you for your video. Man, do you ever remind me of myself. I’m 52 and just starting this as a hobby to help kill some time while I wait for back surgery. COVID has messed up the surgery schedule here in Saskatchewan. Anyway, I really liked your video. I watched every second of it learning and laughed a few times Re: Chipmunks. Keep up the great work. What I was originally looking for though was an answer to …. Can a person sublimate on any ceramic mug or is it a special kind of mug ? But thx to your video, I learned a new way as well. Cheers

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Mike, thanks for watching and the kind words, yes sir, never woulda thought I woulda been I got this kinda thing a few years ago lol, never the less I’m enjoying it. That sucks about your back, good luck getting it fixed up, hopefully things get better there and everywhere soon. As for the mugs, they have to be coated with a coating, u can buy stuff to do it yourself, which I have tried, but find it easier to just order the sublimatable mugs, less hassle in having to apply a coat perfectly for the sub to come out right! U can generally find the mugs with coating already for between $1 to 1.50 usd.

[@kashisherman8825]

Do you have to use white matte 651 vinyl or can you use any color of 651 vinyl?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

U could use any color vinyl because the ink goes into the laminate, however the white vinyl is what acts as the white ink, so whatever color vinyl u would use would act as your “white ink” if that makes sense

[@divinelyguidedlioness]

How do we use this template in Design Space? Purchase it but can’t get my image to fit the dimensions of the template with the curve etc

[@TouchofClassCreations]

So if you open the svg file ( chrome/edge html file) it should open to correct size. You probably have to rotate your template 90 degrees once u set up your image, and I believe it is too big for cricut to do print and cut, but u can print the template and cut by hand, which isn’t too tough as it is a easy design, if u still continue to have problems contact me through Etsy and I can send some screen shots to further explain.

How do you get them to stay on the cups. I tried what you did but they peel off around the edges.

Yes gloss will should still work fine, I just use more matte so that’s usually what I have on hand

Hi wont take but a minute can you tell me or send a link how to put a pic. inside the Dollar Tree travel cup i did it once but i cant remember how i did it if you can help i do thank you

[@GNHAirbrush]

I tried this and my laminate is not adhering to the vinyl. Pressing the laminate for 20secs at 400F then the sub print for 60secs. Any idea why the laminated print is not sticking???

[@TouchofClassCreations]

My first guess would be it’s thicker than 3 mil laminate. My wife brought some home from work, I know it was thicker than 3 mil because I’ve only used 3 mil thickness, and it wouldn’t stick at all, would peel from vinyl before I could finish wrapping it. Went back to 3 mil and no problems. So seems like same issue

[@joanneorbash2657]

i missed what you did what you did with the laminating pouch are those the self sticking ones

[@TouchofClassCreations]

No these are thermal laminating sheets, these are the only ones I’ve tried and I believe they stick better then the self stick one

[@shellyrogers3912]

I enjoyed your video. Do I need silhouette Business edition to get the image to curve to the cup template?

Thank you, No, it works with basic edition as well!

[@stephenbeaver425]

I'm using my tablet to do all my stuff. Is your template able to be down loaded to my samsung galaxy tab A?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

I’m not sure if it works on mobile or not, I haven’t tried it, and I know the mobile platforms for silhouette and Cricut aren’t as full as the desktop versions, so I couldn’t say for sure, I’m sorry, if u try and it isn’t please let me know

[@TouchofClassCreations]

It is a zip file so can u open zip files on your tab? If not download to pc and email to your tab and open them, or I can email them to you.

[@RainorShine1]

wow thats cool, well I just tried it but it didn't resize my photo like it did yours it cut off some of my image to fit in the template I made, maybe I am doing it wrong do you mind helping, trying to do a 30 oz stright skinny tumbler

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Sure, if your watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfTgX-ki8Rnq8U it shows how u can go in and adjust your image through the background fill area, hard to explain, but u should understand if u skim through this, let me know if u have questions after.

[@ronmorgan6540]

How do I get your Template? will it work on a Cricut? I so hope, also if I have a solid cup with no writing would I need the vinyl or just laminate or can you sublimate directly on laminate?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Hey Ron, u can get the template here touchoclasscreations.Etsy.com, it does work on cricut, however the drag and drop feature u see in my video doesn’t work in cricut, as long as u know how to crop or set up your design u should be fine. The laminate is what actually takes the sub, the vinyl is purely for background and to add the white

[@juancarloszacarias6260]

do you really need to use sublimate printer?, or can you use inkjet vinyl sticker paper and then use a lamination pouch?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Hello, u could probably use inkjet printable vinyl, I do not know if the non-thermal lamination pouches would work, as I have not tried them, I do not believe they will stick of heat pressed to vinyl per other viewers info. per them trying. And I’ve explained in previous posts there are probably a lot of different ways this can be done, the purpose of this video was to show this particular technique, at the time I learned it there were no videos available and a lot of people were asking how it was done so I made this video. If you try it and it works I’d love to know so I can pass on the info. If other viewers ask that, which I’ve been asked a bunch, but no one has tried it or let me know, if they did, so I’d love to hear if u try!

Good Day🤗 TFS . GREAT JOB 👍🏾🥰.. I purchased your template, but my question is how do i get the image to fit the template? I don't know how to navigate silhouette and I use CDS. Thank you in advance for your time and help🙏🏾

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Thank you Frenetta, so i do not use CDS, but from what I gather from other CDS users is you have to set up your design over the template. I made a video on ways to do this in silhouette, and I’ve told CDS users who ask to watch and relate the ideas to Cricut and it seems to help kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfTgX-ki8Rnq8U check it put and let me know if that answers your questions

[@frenettamason394]

Thank you so much for responding!! I will do that. Thanks again for sharing 🤗🥰

[@jubileesisters9711]

How did you get it to automatically size into your template without using crop? I have worked with silhouette for years and have never seen that done.

[@hmoobxws]

I’m getting bubbles after pressing the vinyl and laminate together. What am I doing wrong?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Could be a couple of different things… make sure u have .3 laminate or thinner, and check your press is not heating hotter than what it says, too many bubbles usually means too much heat, u can also try to squeegee a little after u first lift the press, that can help if your not getting too many bubbles, start there, also check this comments , lots of good advice from others here too

[@blondetexan]

I just purchased the template but when I drag the photo over it doesnt adjust it to fit into the template. Any suggestions?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

If your using silhouette u have to drag the image in from outside the program, if using cricut drag and drop isn’t supported. Here is a video to give u examples of ways to set up your image kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGfTgX-ki8Rnq8U

[@kelleywells4458]

Can the template be used in cricut design space?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Yes the template can be used in design space, however the drag and drop u see me do does not work. I believe most design space users print the sub image from silhouette studio free version and cut template in design space, due to Cricut size limitation they do not allow print and cut with the template. I do have a lot of Cricut users, most seem ok, if your new to Cricut u may have issues, let me know if that helps or u need any further assistance!

[@illysesheaffer8858]

Is it dishwasher safe now ? Or just hand wash?

[@TouchofClassCreations]

Hand wash only, the cup themselves without vinyl are hand wash only
