How to SUBLIMATE on a DOLLAR TREE CANVAS, a Mousepad(w/a HACK)... PLUS there’s a SURPRISE...

[@Everything_Neww]

OMG, thank you so much for sharing!! 😀 I Just tried this, and it worked!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The colors are POPPIN!! I only had 5x7 canvases but they turned out absolutely beautiful. To ensure the edges were smoothed out, i waited for my heat press to cool down some and the pressed each side of the canvases up against the press plate for about 3 seconds and it smoothed them out nicely. No jagged edges. 🌟 I can't wait to try this on bigger sizes.

[@high5graphics1]

Chonita, I enjoy all your videos. Next time you sub a canvas, try this. Leave about a quarter inch of laminate around the canvas. Don't trim it. Press your image, then fold the extra laminate to the back of the canvas and tape it down. Now you have a canvas wrap with the image on the sides. Make sure to print your image a little bigger to cover the laminate.

[@DoDreamOn]

Thanks so much for watching and that's such a great ideaaaaa... Thanks for the tip!

[@almorgan69]

I wish you could see how wide my eyes opened when I saw that puppy. Beautiful. You are awesome!

[@DoDreamOn]

Awwwww that puppy is sooooo cute LOL thanks for watching 🥰🥰🥰

[@johnmontoya5169]

If you ever mess up and leave some color you can get the cricut infusable mark wrapped and match the color and heat it up a little bit and the color will blend

[@DoDreamOn]

Thankssss great tip!!!

[@briannamead1116]

looks amazing !! Do you put the rough side or the smooth side on the canvas?

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Hey, Chonita. Such BEAUTIFUL photos! I was wondering if the sublimation spray would work as well? Donna

[@DoDreamOn]

Hey Donna thanksssss and possibly

[@LashDiva5]

Aside from the canvases I need that print on your sweatshirt!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!

[@DoDreamOn]

lol 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you!!!

[@officermeyer]

May I suggest laying her pic face up then place the mousepad on top and line it up that way. While holding the mouse pad down use a rotary cutter to trim the paper around the mouse pad. Then while still holding the pad down use something to weight it down and use the heat tape to keep it in place by pulling up the side just enough to place the tape upside down on the pic and attach it to the pad. Hope that made sense

[@DoDreamOn]

That made a lot of sense... THANK YOU! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️

Question: if you lay the picture face up on table and lay canvas face down on top and tape it maybe you can center it better what do you think? and is that an ink jet printer that you use? by the way the pictures and the mouse pad came out beautiful, loving the colors. and the matte finish on the mouse pad.

[@DoDreamOn]

This is sublimation and I dont think I understand

Can you use the lamination method on cosmetic bags

I probably wouldn’t because those get squished and moved around a lot in your purse they have sublimation cosmetic bags I have a few I might do a video on them…

Yes Girl! You go Chonita!

[@DoDreamOn]

Ayeeee thank you!!!

[@bigafrodite2091]

I'm very new to sublimation, cut and print, and everything in between. I haven't even began to try this method. I've watched several of these videos. I noticed a recurring issue with the lamination is lent. That tells me that there's some sort of static that attracts the lent and causes it to cling to the lamination paper(?). So my questions are: Would it be safe and efficient to use a dryer sheet to decrease the static on the laminate? And to remove the lent, without compromising it's integrity? My apologies if I'm not using the correct terminology. I appreciate any help with this, in advance.

[@marcparish4280]

No that would make it worse, as the Laminate is sticky on one side. Best thing to do is put it right on your canvas when you open it. Hope this helps

[@treneebenton2905]

Do you mind sharing how you do your setup when you doing your videos?

[@sonyascrafts4527]

Awesome! But let me share a tip.. you could have printed a small strip that you sliced from the original picture and applied it to the part that didnt sub it would have worked and blended perfectly. Thanks for the content!

[@DoDreamOn]

Thanks so much!!! I thought of that but because it was just mine I didn't want to bother LOL thanks so much for watching =)

[@yinny6138]

So do you put the glassy, shiny side down on it or the rough, rubbery side down on it? Are you can decide?

What do you heat it on and how long?

Hi Chonita I was inquiring about the laminate pouches you use and what brand of laminate paper what mil thickness you use if you don't mind sharing. TIA.

[@DoDreamOn]

Either 3 mil of 5mil work they both can work

[@tgravely6]

What makes you determine how long and what temp to press? I see you pressed at 400 60secs and 385 30secs.

[@DoDreamOn]

I just see if I think something was too hot or not hot enough and I adjust accordingly... sometimes I’m like ohhhh I didn’t have to press that long or hot... other times I’m like it needs to be hotter and longer... for sublimation the standard time is 400 60 secs but sometimes that’s too long and hot

[@tgravely6]

When I sublimate on mousepads, I place the picture down and place the pad on top then I know the edges are all being sublimated then I turn it back to press

[@mayragamez3061]

Will the sublimation still work on the canvas without the laminate?

[@DoDreamOn]

I’ve never tried I don’t believe so... if you try it let me know

[@rhondamcbride6882]

It will be really faded sublimation directly on the canvas. Sublimation requires a poly surface to accept the ink. Canvas boards and cotton t-shirts will look washed-out

Does the rougher side of the laminating pouch face the top of the canvas? Keep it up girl! I just want to do all things and I love that you experiment with everything!!
