The Oily Krafter Dollar Tree Glass Mug Sublimation

[@townmama]

Some Michael's stores now sell sublimation shrink wrap sleeves

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! I haven’t been able to go into the Michaels since the pandemic started! I’ll have to make time this week to go by and check it out! Thanks for the info!

That was not a failed project. It was a learning error. Thank you for sharing❤️. I used those mugs about 2 years ago with vinyl for Father's Day gifts. They are some good quality mugs. I just started sublimation so this helped me out a lot. Saved me some time and a few coins.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! Yes, I would have to agree that it was a learning experience! I’m glad the information was helpful for you!

[@amychesley3486]

Love that you shared this video. trial and error is the only way to learn. I am just starting out. Would like to see more people post honest videos. I learned a lot. You guys are awesome!!!

Video is great and I love your honesty. It would be awesome if the description. label. or cover photo stated that it did not work though

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@maggypye4529]

Fun to see epic fails. Most people just mention what didn't work, not do the video of the process of failure. Thanks for being brave enough to fail.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! We do these videos in hope’s to help others! We think we figured out what we did wrong and plan to do a follow up video once the new sublimation wraps arrive! Hope to see you then! And always stay crafty!!!

[@jenniferhardin6977]

Well I think this video was great and taught me a lot. That’s for showing even tho it didn’t work but we learned why. Thanks a million for doing this video.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Hope you have a great day!

Thx for sharing. I've purchased a few of these mugs for gifts & gotta figure out what to do with them.

[@theoilykrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@Arlisa1913]

Thank you for sharing this and don’t take it as a total failure because we all learned

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! We appreciate your comment! Yes, we did learn!

[@mac772]

Really enjoyed the video and learned from your experience

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! We're happy you were able to get some usefulness from it!

[@judybarrett2697]

It does work with sublimation shrink wrap. Once you place it in the oven do a timer then turn over do another timer. Most ovens are not big enough for the tumblers/glass large mug to stand up.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! Yes, I’ve had it work on coffee mugs, so I was pretty sure it would work on the beer mug, just didn’t work the way I was trying to do it. Didn’t get the laminate tight enough around, therefore the picture didn’t either. Hopefully after my husband is recovered from his surgery, we’ll be able to video an update! I also purchased the correct shrink wrap for next one! Stay crafty!

[@deebaldwin2011]

Just starting out in sublimation, glad I found your channel. We're practically neighbors, I'm in Claremore.

Hi neighbor! Thank you for watching! We’re glad to have you as part of the community!!!! Hope you have a great day!!

[@schim43]

I saw that over heating the shrink wrap makes it melt. You don’t need to get all of the wrinkles out as the heat of the oven will continue to shrink it.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching!

[@jerrik521]

you need more pressure on the glass beer mug try a mug wrap for sublimation should help

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video and for the suggestion! We decided that as well!

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! The laminate used in this video is the homopolymer, matte finish - 12" wide, 3ml thickness purchased from Southwest Binding back in early 2020.

[@tonycarrington4426]

another great video, shame it didn't work but still learnt a few things ....one question how often would you recommend doing a printhead maintenance check on the Epson? thanks again Tony UK

[@theoilykrafter]

Thanks again! Glad you liked the video!! We do it anytime the printer has set idle for a while between uses since we don’t use it everyday. If you notice your print outs are getting lines, missing areas of ink, etc, I’d do one then. Hope this helps.

[@tonycarrington4426]

@@theoilykrafter OK thankyou. I can foresee me not printing every day as well. heard that you shouldn't leave sublimation ink printers idol for too long as the inks can dry and clog the lines! Have you had this problem? Some have said print something out at least every 3 days would you agree. 👍

[@theoilykrafter]

@@tonycarrington4426 So far we haven’t had any issues and we go weeks between printing something. But I’m sure each printer will be a little different.

[@dianeelrod8232]

Can you put it in a regular oven

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! It is not recommended to use any oven that you cook food in for these type of crafts.

[@jordanlotus188]

very nice and helpful.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching the video and for the positive feedback.

[@Wandyful1]

Thanks so much for sharing. I've just started and I'm having a problem with lamination on tile,no matter how careful I am and how tight I get the lamination, I'm having some bubbles. I clean my tiles good and keep my fingers off so no fingerprints. Do you have any idea of what I'm doing wrong ? could it be the clear lamination sheets I'm using ? I see that you use the matte. Oklahoma folks , my son lives in Ok. City and drives a big rig for Stout Transportation. WE visited a couple of years back,looked at property in Cushing but changed our minds and came back home to Florida ! :-)

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! What ml is the clear laminate that you are using? I use 3 ml. It may be too thin or getting too hot. Are you putting the tile face down? And using all the blow papers. If any lint gets on it between the tile and laminate can cause issues too. And is the laminate you have thermal kind? I clean my tiles the day before to make sure they are completely dry. I have some fiends that live in FL and are trying to get us to move there! Let me know if any of these help!!! Have a great rest of your weekend!

[@shirleyarmour5156]

Where do you get the laminate?

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! Lately we have been getting the laminate off of Amazon. We have an affiliate link: Affiliate link: amzn.to/3z28tc5

[@jordanlotus188]

Can you please do some video with sublimation coating , which will be also very helpful. Thanks in advance.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching. We have been dealing with some health issues and will look at possibly doing that in the near future.

[@teresa0136]

Use heat press apply laminate on permanent vinyl can get clear or white or even glitter low heat firm pressure then press you sublimation image on the laminate 400 for 60 seconts and then you can use cricut design space to print and then cut the shape of image out of the vinyl if you have cricut machine works good I've even made for back glass of my car and on canvas from dollar tree and on htv for shirts

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! Yes, that is another method that we have learned since making this video. But the point of this video was to see if we could use the laminate and get a good result. As we found out, there were a few more learning curves to making it work. Thanks for the input. We appreciate your feedback!

[@jenniferhardin6977]

Will this peel off from the ice melting and glass gets wet from ice melting.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! I’m not sure how well it will stay on the glass. Since it pretty much failed on this one and has bubbles, it probably will peel off. I plan to try again with the proper shrink wrap and adhere the laminate better to the glass. I may go ahead and put ice in it to see how it reacts!! Hope you have a great day! Have fun crafting!!

[@Bobster986]

I’m glad I fast forwarded to the end of all this stupidity. Lol 😂

[@theoilykrafter]

We shared the video to hopefully help other people know what doesn't work.

What is the laminate called?

Where did you get your laminate at?

[@theoilykrafter]

It seems that the matte finish has been discontinued. This is a glossy finish one that should work: amzn.to/3z28tc5

[@WillieBeard]

Maybe add in the title that this is Fail!

@@theoilykrafter I appreciate the teamwork and the cameraman's input. I would note that the volume is very different between the two participants, requiring that I roll the volume up and down throughout the video. Thanks for taking the time to plan, shoot and edit the process...I learned a lot.

[@teresa0136]

Just curious why you don't just print the image the size you need it, then just trim access unprinted paper instead of wasting so much time with rulers and such to trim, pair scissors and just trim round edge of image not like your cutting a quilting square

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching! This was an experiment, we weren’t sure how it was going to turn out. We were using the rulers to determine what size we would need to fit on the glass. We were trying to show how we came to the conclusion of what size was needed to cover the part of the glass that we wanted printed. This was our first attempt at sublimating on this type of glass and was using the same procedure as a coffee mug. Definitely a learning experience!

[@yli9538]

LOL 40 minutes of video and didn’t work !!!!!

[@theoilykrafter]

Thanks for watching our video! Hopefully it gave you some ideas!

[@GwendolynTurnbull]

It did not come out because you need to use other techniques.

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! Yes, so we have learned! Hope to revisit doing this next year with other techniques!

[@gwendolynwattley6063]

I have found a solution that can be used on the products from the dollar tree to be sublimated.

[@spiritualwarfareforyoursou5665]

I appreciate seeing that things didn't work - but I honestly would NEVER watch 40 minutes of a failed item. Please condense next time. What a waste of my time. Some sort of heads up would have really been appreciated. Like you could have shown us this in 10 minutes so we could all learn what not to do. I hope you figure out a way to make it work

[@theoilykrafter]

Thank you for watching our video! We felt that since we took the time to video and edit it, that we would show the whole process rather it worked or not. We try to share our experiences, and show that not everything works as planned.
