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

[@khaotickrafter]

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]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@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.

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

Thanks. Sharing “information is power”-ful. Sublimating on laminate/vinyl, valuable piece of information. Heading to your site to see other great tutorials.

Thank you, and I agree!! Hence the reason I share! Enjoy the videos and subscribe for more... planning weekly releases!

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

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

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.

[@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!

[@khaotickrafter]

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

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.

[@LatinaGem856]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@savannahl1475]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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. And I haven’t done it, but some people are sealing them to make more waterproof I guess, but at this point I barely make these anymore as they are not super cost effective. They are great for personal use and kids and parties and the like! Hope that helps

[@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?

[@khaotickrafter]

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!

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...

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@kimneurenberg5013]

I'm still having some bubbles. Ive adjusted my heat and pressure but, could this be a material issue? Im using starcraft but same laminate as u. Ive never had any trouble out of SC but...this is a whole new world for me.

[@khaotickrafter]

It could be, I have never tried SC, I do get some small bubbling on occasion, if u light squeegee as soon as u lift the press that may help

[@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

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

[@jamt-shirt559]

Thanks for the video, Awsome! Can you tell me the brand(s) of your pressing machines (shirts and mugs) how much you paid aprox for them?

[@khaotickrafter]

Yes my heat press for shirts is a heat press nation signature series 15x15 swing away with the sure pressure system, and mugs I have a mug press that can with my first heat press I ever ordered but it was a no name Amazon special 12x15 6 in one or 8 in one

[@darnleysmith6845]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@HailXenu]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@jofloresz]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

The best way I have found to keep them from peeling is hand wash and not leave sitting in sink or liquid for any period of time, these are best used for like kids parties and things of that nature in my opinion

[@titasnails73]

Good night, God bless you, can you make a video with that template using the Cricut DS program? I have the maker and I don't have the silhouette cameo. thanks

[@khaotickrafter]

Good morning, I am still working on using the design space, drag and drop will not work the same in Cricut though, I did make another video showing alternate ways to set up template and Cricut users have been able to relate it to Cricut. But as soon as I have the time to learn it I will try to update the video

[@tammievance7329]

U can use the silhouette studio ..save it ..the upload design in design space

[@shellyrogers3912]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@-sosavycouponer8142]

I have orcal651 but gloss will this still work???omg I'm so mad I missed the step of you saying matte

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@yvonnealvizo]

OMG!!😳 What an AWESOME tutorial!!👏🏼🎉🙋🏻‍♀️tfs

[@khaotickrafter]

No problem, thanks for watching and glad it helped!! Stay tuned for more!!

[@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?

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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.

Thank you so much, and no problem! Welcome to the channel!! There is a link in the video description, but here it is as well touchoclasscreations.etsy.com

Great explanation. Thank you Did you create the template in silhouette?

[@khaotickrafter]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Yes Shelly I created the template in Silhouette

[@jenn4267]

Can you use this application for car decals?

[@khaotickrafter]

I have not tried, don’t see why it wouldn’t work, probably would def try to seal it if using as a car decal though, I may have to try that soon, if I do I will update!!

[@jenn4267]

@@khaotickrafter Maybe seal it with UV spray so the colors don't fade from the sun. Thank you for responding.

[@joanneorbash2657]

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

[@khaotickrafter]

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

[@Sam-gm3ow]

How do you make stickers with you left over Laminate sheet, if you don’t mind me asking.

[@khaotickrafter]

I don’t mind at all, let me just preface this by stating that I’m not saying this is the best way to make stickers, it is just a way that you could, especially at the time I made this video I was playing around with the laminate and a lot of things…. Anyhow, same idea as doing the cups, you would just print as stickers instead of a cup template. Honestly though there are far better ways to make stickers. You could do on the vinyl without the laminate, but I haven’t really played too much with subbing directly to vinyl. I have bought several different vinyls and sticker sheets and am doing a video in the next couple weeks showing various ways to make stickers and how each turn out, as I’ve had a lot of sticker questions and never did get to play with them as I had planned.

[@Sam-gm3ow]

@@khaotickrafter thank you so much I look forward to your video, by the way I bought the template and made 2 cups and they turned out amazing thank you thank you so much for this video ✌🏻
