How To Sublimate Coasters With Best Blanks | Neoprene Car Coasters, MDF, Cricut, Ceramic

[@lnorah62]

Jennifer's video tonight could not have come at a more perfect time. My daughter came home tonight and asked if I could make car coasters for her to give as gifts for several of her coworkers for tomorrow. I told her if she would wait til after Jennifer's video tonight I could do them. They came out great!

[@Iscan1996]

I Want to thank you very much for sharing all these crafts to keep me busy. I lost my Mother in Sept and this is keeping me sane. I made these coasters they are awesome

[@colleenbuiles9171]

The live was fun! These designs are so stinkin' cute! I don't have any tools or materials for sublimation, but I love to learn new things! Tfs❤

[@elizabethvallely4044]

They make Great gifts and they are very cute! Thank you for teaching us hugs Liz x

[@pamgates3806]

Looking forward to this video, I bought some coasters for sublimation a few months back along with ornaments. Time to get busy 😊

I made most of my Christmas gifts using this process. I love to sublimate ❤

[@cynthiakribbs2000]

Such cute critters

[@katieb3358]

I bought round cork stickers to put on the bottom of my ceramic coasters, really nice to slide around on my coffee table.

[@donnaotoole5613]

The animals are adorable!

[@elainecusato26]

I love your channel and video's. The presentation on how well you explain everything is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to learning more from you.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@joycesinsley1328]

Learned so much at the live party that this just tops it off.

[@wendystdennis1160]

It was very easy to make with great instructions. I made a few neoprene coasters for gifts.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's great!

[@britannia55]

I love the little fox on the square coaster

[@ctn72530]

I’ve made coasters before but not by sublimating. These are adorable

[@crystalstuller2649]

I love watching all the things! I don't have sub printer yet but hopefully soon!

[@lindamcintosh7603]

Excited about learning this technique

[@beckycollins4586]

Love this. I’ve wanted to make coasters for my car.

[@pennyhatfield2975]

Wondering if you can do this the the mini press?

[@scrappingrrl]

This is great! I was struggling with making some memorial ornaments and had the heat all wrong! Thanks for saving my project!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shelleymerrison3919]

I use the Cricut square coasters for cold drinks and the ceramic ones for hot beverages

[@deannemclaughlin7930]

I’ve never seen sublimation so I really wanted to watch this 😊

[@mariewerle1543]

Great live today, I've been holding off doing this, but now I think I am ready. Thank you Jennifer.

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it!

[@kathymacdougall8755]

Love them

[@donnas1131]

great tutorial, glad I ordered the cricut coasters, thank you Jennifer.

[@JenniferMaker]

Have fun!

[@bobbiecomack5278]

Hope you like it!

[@mariea3771]

They are so beautiful ❤❤❤

[@shannonb7438]

Super cute designs!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@rebeccawebster272]

Very cute designs. I do not have a sublimation printer, is there a way to do this and the hoodie with regular ink and sublimation paper? Thanks

[@JenniferMaker]

Check out our blog, we have lots of shirt tutorials you will find helpful. 😊🌻

[@cynthiakribbs2000]

Would love to have the print and cut feature, maybe I could win one or in the spring ill upgrade my daughters explorer 2, enjoying this video,

[@gerrywolfe2549]

Thank you for the great tutorial. Very cute designs. Would the process for the ceramic coaster be the same for ceramic car coasters?

[@msims3926]

Another great tutorial and love the images! I found a local person to make sublimation prints for me. I mainly make t-shirts and mugs for my family. I wish I could justify the cost of all the equipment.

[@pamtilsonrodgers2825]

Love this video! 😊

[@eevagirl]

Fantastic! Thank you Jennifer 🩵

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brendamoring5429]

Glad I made in time tonight. Hope everyone is doing well.

[@CathyMyers-bd6ly]

Can you put a coating onto the ceramic coasters to make them sublimation ready? Are there any polymer coatings for crafting purposes? I think your coaster critters are adorable.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you can use the process we used here- jennifermaker.com/ceramic-tile-map

[@user-gail7]

Thanks, Love the cute little penguin.

[@JenniferMaker]

Me too!

[@pmynatt11]

So cute!!!! I love watching your videos, but I haven’t gotten into sublimation. I can’t imagine what the cost would be to get started. Thank you for sharing.

[@cynthiakribbs2000]

So cool

[@Michelle-tm5oj]

Can this procedure work on regular tiles or do they have to be Cricut tiles? Thank you for being so detailed

[@JenniferMaker]

They need to be sublimation blanks of any brand.

[@litlred412]

I'm trying to learn about the 3" two-sided ornaments. Would the instructions be the same as the MDF coasters?

[@JenniferMaker]

While the basic sublimation process for pressing a 3" two-sided ornament would be similar to an MDF coaster, the exact instructions might differ slightly due to the smaller size and potential differences in the material's heat conductivity, so it's best to consult specific guidelines for the ornament blanks you are using. Here is a double sided tutorial. jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-cricut-infusible-ink-sheets/

[@carolannh48]

My Cricut Easy Press won't go above 365 degrees - is this because I have the size below you? Thank you again for a great video!

[@mariea3771]

Thank you so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

You're welcome!

[@kathymacdougall8755]

Very nice

[@cfaftimmins486]

Thank you for sharing!! Where can I purchase heat resistant tape?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can get it at your local craft stores or at the affiliate links in the post. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-coasters/

[@kimberlydavison1740]

Just what I was searching for. Great video. I tried it and my round neoprene coasters are squishing down and look too thin. Any suggestions?

[@JenniferMaker]

Try reducing the pressure slightly to prevent excessive compression. If your round neoprene coasters are squishing down and appear too thin, the most likely cause is that you're using a neoprene sheet that is too thin to begin with; try using a thicker neoprene sheet for better stability and structure.

[@amandaallen3605]

Good evening, everyone

[@TimelessTunesRewind]

I have a question. If you have other shape blanks. How can you make an image template of that blank so it will to that shap

[@JenniferMaker]

To make an image template of a shape blank so it conforms to that shape, here are the steps you can follow: Select and Erase Background: Ensure you have your "select and erase" icon selected. Click on the background of your image to remove it, making the background transparent. This will allow the image to conform to the shape you want. Use Contour Tool: Select the duplicated layer and click "contour" to control the individual cuts in a layer. In the pop-up window, click the "hide all contours" button. This will hide all contours except for the shape you want to use. Create a Guide Shape: With the shape selected, click the dropdown menu under "operation" and choose "guide" to turn it into a guide shape that you can see through. Arrange and Resize Photo: Click the eye icon to unhide your photo, then click "arrange" and "send to back" to move it behind everything else. Drag your photo so it fits within the guide shape. Resize the photo by dragging a corner handle in or out until it fully fits and fills the shape with no canvas showing on any side. Drag a bounding box over the photo and the guide shape to select both, then click "slice" in the layers panel. Delete the guide shape and the slice result containing the portion of the photo outside the shape.

[@kathymacdougall8755]

Yes ma’am

[@2new2this]

Can you do all 4 at once with the 9" X 9" easy press or with the HTVRONT or is it better to do one at a time?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it either way as long as the pressure and surface is the same.

[@nancykinney2529]

Have you subliminated on polyester and/or cotton rope coasters? I'm hoping to find guidance on how to do this. Thanks!

[@JenniferMaker]

I have not. You can request that here. jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/

[@nancykinney2529]

​@@JenniferMaker Request sent. I can provide you with a rope coaster sample if needed.

[@LindaYoung929]

Very cool

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks!

[@CubEx3Sica]

Hi, I'm new to sublimation and would like to check if I am able to sublimate my designs on diatomaceous earth coaster?

[@JenniferMaker]

Sublimation works best on surfaces that are either made of polyester or have a polyester polymer coating. Diatomaceous earth is a natural material and does not inherently have the polyester content needed for sublimation. Therefore, you would not be able to sublimate directly onto diatomaceous earth coasters unless they have been specially coated with a polyester or polymer layer that can accept sublimation ink.

How can I avoid MDF coasters from warping after sublimation? Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

You can press them from the other side at less heat to help bend them back. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-coasters/

[@youbkyou]

do you have to use sublimation ink?

[@JenniferMaker]

Coasters can be made with permanent or iron-on vinyl if you choose.

[@TinaSteward-h7e]

If I don't have any cardstock what else can I use

[@JenniferMaker]

You can use a few layers of your printers paper.

[@cindylundy3852]

Sublimation

[@CraftyInes]

If you print from DS will the image still print at 300dpi? I thought someone told me the print quality is lower printing through cricut .?

[@JenniferMaker]

Design Space's resolution maxes out at 144dpi but the pdf is 300dpi.

[@blancaortiz9078]

I need a sublimation printer☹️

[@angela0037]

I've been testing ceramic ornaments today.. I'm getting vibrant colors and the black ink is very black - looks great HOWEVER, the white ceramic itself keeps getting a very light, subtle brown tint to it. Any ideas why this is happening?? I'm stumped!
