[@jeanettemyers6273]

Oh yea!!! Finally a video with a pleasant voice & someone who doesn't waste time trying to figure instructions while teaching !!! Loved it

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much!

[@yolandaaneses4216]

I agree.😊😊 thank you Jennifer

[@aliciat2216]

Omg Jennifer’s videos are great! She’s very thorough when she’s explaining what’s she’s doing. And she actually comments when you’re asking a question. I watch a lot of videos and they don’t respond.

[@KellyKamikaze]

I know this is an older video, so the chances kf you seeing this are slim...but i wanted to give you the biggest thank you ever! A couple years ago i started my cricut journey, and instantly was lost until i found you. Im not kidding when i say you literally taught me every single thing i know. And now, im at the beginning of my sublimation journey....and once again youre leading the way for me. Jennifer, i cant thank you enough for all of your help. And i know there are tons of "crafting teachers" out there....but you stand out. Not only are you amazing at what you do, and you make everything soooooo easy to understand...and i know this may sound weird..lol....but you have such a comforting voice😂 i could listen to you talk and talk and not once do i get bored, or have to fast forward through anything.😂 I just want to give you a big thank you hug and let you know how much i appriciate all of your help. You are one of a kind, and absolutely 100 percent deserce the "Queen of Crafting" badge. Lol. Thank you for everything you do. 😊

My daughter n I LOVE UR VIDEOS!!!! We are new at Tumblers. Now we did the shrink wrap with the oven. Not bad. Now we do the shrink wrap and the bands. The tumblers have been coming out really nice. We are still working on the seem lines. Thank you for doing these videos!! ❤

Thanks...I stumbled through four tumblers before seeing your video. I just did another after watching you and got a much better results.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad I could help! That makes me SO happy!! 😊🥳

[@SeguraByMichelle]

Love your videos. Pleasant voice and pace. Thank you! I don’t have your expertise but I use an air fryer at 360° F for 8 minutes. No shrink wrap or bands just heat resistant tape. I think my results are good and consistent. When someone wants to learn I share your name and point them to your videos

[@JenniferMaker]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@garitoml]

Does it have to reach the 360 degrees before putting it in and starting the timer?

[@carolinagrutzius1580]

Which program you use to print the design? And do you mirror the image?

[@JenniferMaker]

To print the design for the 20 oz sublimation tumblers, you can use Google Docs. Yes, you do need to mirror the image.Under layout, click "Flip horizontally" to mirror your image.

Thanks for sharing the designs. I have had the best luck by taping over my tape with painters tape to get a good seal and then using an air fryer at 370 for 7 minutes. I have a tumbler press that came with my swing arm press but ive never been able to get the pressure right. You inspire me to try it again.

[@SinfulQueen13]

I use the tovala smart air fryer oven. I use the bands, 5-6 depending on my mood and it comes out beautifully. Picture then band, no paper between the two. I use 300 degrees for 6 mins on air fry turning every 2. But I’m testing 375 on oven setting instead of air fry with shrink wrap OVER my bands(just curious). My frosted glass can came out amazing at 425 for 8 mins last night ❤️

[@ItsKi_Kreations]

Love the video - I have a convection oven but no felt pad. Could I remove the rack and put a piece of parchment paper under instead?

[@JenniferMaker]

Parchment paper is coated and it holds in that moisture. It is not recommended for sublimation crafting.

[@mariamavila1990]

Thank you. Can you sublimate tumblers using the mug press?

[@lanamcquown3063]

Hello, these would make great gifts. I was checking out the tumbler press on Amazon and was wondering how the presses could work for other projects. It looks like if I buy the press you linked to, I could also make other projects such as mugs and glass jars, if I just purchase the appropriate heater, is this right? Or will I need a whole different press? thanks so much!

Yes, you can. You can also use a convection oven as well. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-tumblers/

This is a very helpful video, but I think I missed what temperature you used for the convection oven. Also, how would you do a tumbler if the oven is not tall enough for the tumbler to stand upright?

[@JenniferMaker]

Here is the link to my step by step directions for you, jennifermaker.com/sublimation-tumblers/ and you can lay your tumblers on the rack in the convection oven as well. There is quite a bit of information on this subject in my Sublimation FB group as well. You can join at this link, facebook.com/groups/sublimationmadeeasy 💗

[@robingriffiths9830]

Great tutorial! Thank you for straight forward, easy to follow, and descriptive tutorial! I love the shelf you have over your printer in the last part of your video, can you share where you got it? Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

We designed and made them on our 3D printer. We plan to share the print files on our blog at some point for anyone else who wants them. There are two styles -- the one on the left uses PVC pipes, so it’s height adjustable to your needs. The one on the right is all 3D printed except for the table, which is a piece of wood screwed to the legs. Both meet the requirements in Cricut’s Safety Instructions for “a flat and stable surface” as the Cricuts are just sitting on stable tables.

[@robingriffiths9830]

@@JenniferMaker awesome! Looking forward to learning more about those shelves. =)

[@thamiressobral6371]

Hiii Jennifer I hope you doing great , How much can I charge for this tumbler ?

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm not really sure, it would depend on a lot of factors like where you live, materials, etc. 😊🌻

[@ashleyshamblee2170]

What do you use to get the designs and be able to print them correctly?

[@kidneybean67]

Where did you print the design itself? That's the bit I was waiting for? I found cricut design doesn't fit the size needed for a 20oz tumbler...😢

[@JenniferMaker]

The instructions are here - jennifermaker.com/print-sublimation-designs-from-google-docs 😊🌻

[@jasminesumler5938]

Hi. What software do you actually print the design? I have Cricut design space and it’s not allowing me to print to the size of the tumbler.

[@JenniferMaker]

You will need to print these with Google, we link it that in the tutorial. 😊🌻

[@GrammyB6]

Can you provide a link for the item you placed in the bottom of the oven. Thanking you in advance.

[@JenniferMaker]

All the items used are in the materials list here. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-tumblers/

[@kathrynlester2352]

You say the convection oven is good only for sublimation. So I can't bake my Fimo items in it either? Can I bake paper for browning and/or drying stained or dyed papers for JunkJournals? How about drying paper mache in silicone mold? I had hoped to have one smaller oven for everything craft related. My craft/sewing room already has LOADS of items as I have lots of varied interests. Even my sewing & stitching is varied with loads of different interests.

[@JenniferMaker]

Once you use it for sublimation do not use it to cook food in it. You can do all that other stuff, just not food after it was used for sublimation.

[@galelackey7666]

Will a heat press with mug press attachments do skinny tumblers or beer can glasses?

[@JenniferMaker]

Many people use them and there are quite a few options out there, I don't use one myself though 💗

Only thing I was expecting to get covered was the steps on printing is the same as the regular sublimating printer or do we need to change any setting?

[@mgb426]

Hi, I know its been awhile since you posted this video, but as I was having my coffee just now, I saw a small design on the inside top of my mug (that was a repeat of the cat design on the outside) and thought to myself, hey, can we sublimate inside of a mug??? and so off to the internet I went to you your channel to see.. I searched other videos and no one really got it to work aside from a few saying sand worked (but others who tried it didn't get it to work, which would probably be my outcome if i tried)... so I am curious if you have ever tried it. Thank you again for all the great videos! I look forward to hearing from you 🙏

Can I use parchment paper in place of butcher paper?

[@JenniferMaker]

Butcher paper and parchment paper are not the same. Butcher paper has a different finish, often with a waterproof side, which is not present in parchment paper. For Cricut infusible ink projects and sublimation, it is recommended to use butcher paper. That being said I have used parchment paper and regular copy paper layered in the mug press.
