Sublimate on Glass: Dollar Tree Cutting Boards or Sublimation Blanks?

[@roxannepowers7757]

If it weren't for you and your team, I don't think I could do half the projects I have. You inspire a lot of people. Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! 💗

[@juliemeshberger5305]

i totally agree to this. whenever i feel lost on what to make, i come here and your website to get inspired. i suffer from anxiety and depression and have MS, and i craft along with you like a friend. thank you jennifer.

[@thelma8398]

Thanks a lot. I used the wood cutting board and laminating sheets for our church Fathers Day Gifts. A hit!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! 😃

[@nancykohlmeyer8457]

I’ve made dozens of Dollar Tree glass cutting boards with waterslide. I put the design on the underside and later spray with acrylic sealer. There is no reason they can’t bring used for cutting or serving on the top side. No dishwashing. I love waterslide and don’t know why Jennifer doesn’t use it more.

[@vickyewilliams5764]

Hi. Do you mirror the waterslide?

[@ffarrell64]

You break things down SO well; I am very much a person who needs specific instructions. I have avoided a lot of crafts I'm interested in simply because the tutorials I've found aren't clear enough; now I'm working a cricut into the budget! Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!💗

[@Sadiexxc]

I would love to try this. Jennifer Maker you make it look so easy. You are part of the reason I got into cricut. 😊

[@gailgorenflo3501]

I tried the laminate method on a round Dollar Tree cutting board. I did the laminate for the 60 seconds as suggested with my Easy Press and added another 30 secs to the sublimation time (so 90 secs) because it looked like it needed it. I was pretty successful! The only thing I would do differently would be to use my Easy Press to go around the edges for some additional time. The edges in 2 places are light. I think the cutting boards may not be perfectly level so the edges may not get an even press like the middle does. Other than that I'm calling it a 2-thumbs up! Thanks Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

That sounds like a success! Great thinking on that. ❤️

[@dprestonutube]

This is a great project, thank you for sharing. I am really having trouble getting my colors intense enough on the glass. Even at 90 seconds, there does not seem to be ink much left on the paper, but the mid tones are pretty lost to be a suncatcher. Against white it is not bad, but near invisable (maybe a little exageration) against the light.

[@JenniferMaker]

Don't forget to rotate the press 90°. You can also press for longer if needed. 😊🌻

[@dprestonutube]

@@JenniferMaker Thank you for your reply- how does rotating the press help? Thanks again.

[@zizimcreations]

Love! We have those blanks too! Love your works!🥰

[@cjackman4187]

Jennifer, 1st thank you for your hard work and informative videos! You mentioned these cutting boards can't be used in the kitchen. I understand the ones using laminate but I don't understand why you can't use the ones made with sublimation blanks. Did I understand correctly?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can if you sublimate on the opposite side of cutting.

[@lij-alchemistsjoy6400]

Thank you so much for this tutorial - the items you made are absolutely gorgeous! it came at the time when I was feverishly trying to think of good gifts for a few friends - I do have a question though - if the sublimation happens on the "back end" of the glass why can it not be used as a cutting board to prepare food as the food will be on the right side up?

[@JenniferMaker]

So long as you’re keeping the food on the side that is glass only. Just be aware that if you make a sublimation cutting board with one of the hacks (vinyl or laminate) it may not be dishwasher safe.

If your file is an SVG it should scale up and down freely without losing any details. You have to be careful with the other file types. Could this be your issue?

Thank you for all your instructional videos! Quick question - if the sublimation is on the back of the glass cutting board can you use the front as a cutting board since food would not come in contact with the sublimated surface?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can!

[@wendylangdale202]

Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your help with all of these wonderful projects! I have a question though-I tried the sublimation on the dollar tree cutting boards and laminating pouches. The laminating pouch had bubbles in it when it was finished and I couldn’t work them out. What did I do wrong? I’m using the auto press and a pressing pillow for extra strength underneath.

[@AliciaVanSant]

These look really cool, & I definitely want to try. But let me just double check: you're sublimating DIRECTLY onto regular white adhesive vinyl? If so, that opens up worlds of possibilities!! Also, do you think that that would work for magnets, too? I have some car magnets that are coming apart; I'd like to remake them myself, & I think that adhesive vinyl would work better than the original stickers placed onto magnet sheets that I currently have. Thanks!!

[@JenniferMaker]

No, I'm actually pressing on the glass side so that I don't burn the vinyl. Take a look at my step by step directions on my tutorial at this link, jennifermaker.com/sublimating-on-glass/ 💗

[@AliciaVanSant]

@@JenniferMaker I don't think I worded my question properly. I know that you're pressing on the glass side, but the design is going directly onto the white vinyl, right?

@@AliciaVanSant Watch this part again at 9:01. It says vinyl side down so I think so.
