Sublimation on ribbon to create custom clothing tags

[@cuteasa]

thank you for sharing your ideas... love that you are very clever

[@stacyodesigns]

Thank you! :)

Sublimation paper should be on top of the ribbon. That is why your having to use such heavy pressure.

Can I ask you how much do these go for? I had a gal just ask me the other day if I could make her some, but I wasn't sure about the pricing. Thank you

[@stacyodesigns]

They are super easy to do, but not a high ticket item. A good place to look is etsy to determine the going price. www.etsy.com/search?q=fabric+clothing+tags

How did you prevent the ribbon from fraying?

[@stacyodesigns]

Since the ribbon is polyester, the heat from the press was enough to seal the cut edges. But you can also hit it with a flame really quick.

So I saw your edit. I’m new to sublimation, but I’m a seamstress, so I would love to make my own clothing tags. Do you put the copy paper at the bottom, then the ribbon, then the sublimation paper, and then the butcher paper? I wasn’t sure which paper you meant had to be on top

[@stacyodesigns]

This is the order from top to bottom: blowout paper ( this can be copy paper, butcher paper or craft paper. Just as long as it's not waxed) sublimation paper ribbon blowout paper

I would have never thought to do this!

Did you flip the design in order for it to print the correct way?

[@stacyodesigns]

I printed it mirrored. It is a setting within your printer dialogue.

What heat press do you recommend? Ive been using the cricut on, but since you have to hold it, the transfers get smudged... :(

[@stacyodesigns]

I use a 15x15 inch swing away heat press from US Cutters. I don't really know too much about other presses. What I do know, if you want to get one off amazon - check ALL of the reviews. I have read a lot of presses from China tend to burn out quickly.

Nice Stacy

[@stacyodesigns]

Thank you Renee

[@Buttonish]

Image can also be darker if you place sub paper on top instead of bottom. But wonderful idea and great job

[@stacyodesigns]

Holy Guacamole! I didn't even realize I pressed it that way! I always press with paper on top! I'm so embarrassed :) Thanks for pointing it out -I will add a note in the description.
