Learn how to sublimate tapered tumblers!
What's better than a tasty cold beverage on a summer day? A yummy drink in a super cute cup! I recently showed you how to sublimate mugs, which are so fun to make for hot coffee and tea. This summer though, sublimated tumblers are all the rage, and they're perfect for cold beverages to keep you cool at the pool, the beach, or during your summertime road trip. However, learning how to sublimate tapered tumblers can be tricky! Since the sides of the cup are slanted instead of straight up and down, how do you prepare and sublimate your tumbler so you get the best result?

Hi, from Florida

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks for watching! 💗

[@adamdimaggio2237]

Just so you know.. I successfully sublimated the top of the makers tumbler from Michael's.. I Used my heat press with a small plate press attachment.. It worked great.. I heated it for a bit, stopped and let it cool for a few. then repeated the process a few times.. IT LOOKS SOOOO good.. and the plastic didn't melt and it is still seals 100%.. next i want to try the bottom also.. ..

[@JenniferMaker]

That is awesome!

[@prodigygames2805]

Amazing video, I followed everything in the video but once I print the image it’s not full scale on the paper, I put the same printer settings but it only covers a portion of the 8.5x14 paper. Am I doing something wrong ?

[@JenniferMaker]

The blog post has more detailed instructions. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-tapered-tumblers/

[@lindagray2217]

Jennifer, how do you get the tapered template to show on top of your beach image so you can view both the image and the tapered template at the same time?

[@JenniferMaker]

The details are in the blog post. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-tapered-tumblers/ Here are more details: To get the tapered template to show on top of your beach image so you can view both the image and the tapered template for the tumbler at the same time, follow these steps: 1. **Upload the Beach Image and Template:** - First, upload both your beach-themed image and the tapered template PNG to Canva. - Click on the beach image from the uploads menu to add it to your canvas. 2. **Add and Resize the Template:** - Click on the template PNG from the uploads menu to add it to your canvas. - Resize the template as needed to fit your design. 3. **Adjust Layer Position:** - Click on the template to select it. - Use the "Position" button in the top toolbar to bring the template to the front. This will ensure the template is on top of the beach image. 4. **Adjust Transparency (Optional):** - If you need to see both the template and the beach image clearly, you can adjust the transparency of the template. - With the template selected, click on the transparency icon (a checkerboard icon) in the top toolbar and adjust the slider to make the template semi-transparent.

Hi, We tried the online converter from PDF to PNG, but there is no remove background option. When we upload converted PDF to PNG on canva, the PNG image isn't transparent. Can you help?

[@JenniferMaker]

Canva should recognize the transparent background, allowing you to overlay the image onto other elements in your design without any unwanted background. There are more details on the blog post here. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-tapered-tumblers/

[@AmandaByrd-ey3em]

What if the design you want to wrap has lines that you want to line up and stay looking straight? I cant figure out how to warp the image

[@monicalambmiller6542]

I have did every step, but as soon as I put either the template down or the image one or the other disappears, I’m not sure why I can’t have both of them on the page, any suggestions?. Thanks for your videos you’re very helpful

[@JenniferMaker]

I am not sure without seeing a picture. You can ask in the group. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

[@danielprovenzano163]

I used your technique using a convection oven 375 degrees at 6 mins, I turned it at 3 mins, after completing the shrink wrap was almost completely melted. The image came out fine, but it took extra effort to get the remaining shrink wrap and paper off. Any Suggestions?

[@JenniferMaker]

It shouldn't have melted. Different bands could vary in performance.

[@user-ui3ph5do7u]

Thanks for the video. I can't wait to try this, but is there a way to cover the seam without using the banner?

[@JenniferMaker]

You would have to line the seam up perfectly. The banner just helps camouflage the seam since it can be tricky getting it perfect.🥰

[@user-ej6gz7xd5f]

It let me upload it as a pdf on canva 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do love the tutorial bc I haven’t been able to do an all over wrap for anything and I have these exact cups ! ❤

[@JenniferMaker]

I certainly hope it helps! 💗

[@martismakings]

Too cute 😍

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks!

[@yc2367]

Thank you very much, can I use the same printer to sublimate T-shirts ? Because I would like to start doing both

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can print sublimation designs from the same printer for both shirts and tumblers🥰

[@jazziedonaldson06]

Hello, I love watching your videos. I have learned so much from you. I do have one question from this video. How did you get the template to go clear in canva so you can see the background layer for sizing before adding the accent band.

[@JenniferMaker]

It should load in that way. Go to 3 minutes or more in the video. jennifermaker.com/how-to-sublimate-tapered-tumblers/

[@brittanykeller863]

This is the issue I was having it wouldn’t allow me to delete background and make transparent

[@alisonclark7540]

Hi! Bought your sublimation cookbook from Amazon….what I can’t figure out, even from this video is how you place the tumbler into the oven. Is it lying on its side or standing straight up?

[@JenniferMaker]

I have it standing up but not all of the ovens are large enough to do that so you can lay them down on the racks and rotate that way as well. I have a Sublimation FB group that has a lot of information on this process as well, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy 💗

[@wendyjasinski2840]

Thanks so much Jennifer!! This is exactly what I need HOWEVER, when I'm in Canva, the template outlines that you have (starting at the 7:30 mark) are not showing up at all once my design is overlaid onto the template. It's like the template is completely hidden and all I see is my design. I have no idea why this is or what I can do to get the template outline to show up on top of the design.... Any suggestions? Your help is MUCH appreciated, thank you!!! 😊

[@JenniferMaker]

There is a layers panel on the side of your canvas, you can move the template layer to the top. 😊🌻

[@wendyjasinski2840]

Not sure what's going wrong on my end at this point, but no matter what I try, the template lines will not show up over my design. :(

[@wendyjasinski2840]

I changed the transparency settings and it finally worked!!! 😀

[@GeekExtremist]

Hi Jennifer! Quick question if you don't mind. My mom is learning sublimation and she's at the point of PDF to PNG converter, but the site doesn't have the "Remove Background" option. I've tried looking around, but can't find a way to bring up the option. Do you know if it was removed or are we doing something wrong? Thank you for your time.

[@JenniferMaker]

What site are you using? You can also ask in the group. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

[@GeekExtremist]

@JenniferMaker Thank you for your quick response 😁 We're using the one from your page, PDF to PNG Online Converter. On your screen it has the *Remove Background* option under *Optional Settings*, but on ours, the first setting is *Quality* We were able to remove the background using canva, but wasn't sure if that would mess anything up.

[@YarialisLopez]

It’s crazy to me how everything is so advanced and there is not one attachment that fit these cups on the heat press. It’s very frustrating

[@lindagray2217]

I am missing a step and have re-watched several times. When I go to move my image on top of the template, my image is actually behind it and I cannot see the template like in JM’s tutorial…ugh…does anyone have any thoughts on this?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can always ask in the group for feedback on this. facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy

On the website to convert the pdf into png does not have the “remove background” button

[@JenniferMaker]

There are restrictions in Design Space if you are not an Access member.

[@ginamariegarcia9461]

I have a sawgrass printer. I did everything in this video. This is not working for me. What am I doing wrong? Its not covering the cup all the way.
