Hi Tanner! Love how u tested all the different products💕. I think it’s very important to note that when sublimating or using infusible ink, ur material ( make up bag, shirts, hats, gloves, etc ) must be the highest polyester u can get in order for it to actually stay after washing. As long as the polyester content is higher than let’s say cotton, it will work. 100% cotton will wash away. Dollar tree has the pocket pot holders & they r 100% polyester great for sublimating, yes their colors r dark, but I used black infusible ink & it looks awesome💕. I hope u don’t mind my input. Now I can not wait to try it on the wood shapes💕🥰. Love hugs blessings & prayers, Donna 🥰🙏💕
So that’s the trick!!! Ty, Ty, Thank you! Not sure where I was or what I could have possibly been when learning about sublimation but I’m glad I clicked in this video and saw your comment!!
A 70 / 30 % blend is ideal for most textile products

Thank you Donna for taking time to comment. It’s very helpful to me as I’m actually looking to do an old family recipe he written by a deceased family member on a pot holder as a gift to my mother-in-law.
@@addycorsello7618 ur very welcome💕. Glad my comment was also helpful.
I am in heaven because I am the merchandise manger at a Dollar Tree. I got tired of waiting on the weeks it took on the background check so I just reorganized the sticker department. I was hired the next morning. Needless to say the first isle I reset was the craft isle. Now customers complement me on the isle saying it looks better than any Dollar Tree in north west Arkansas. 🤩 I look forward to following you.
Oh wow!
I've been sublimating on the glass cutting boards DT sells. I was not able to find any plain clear ones, so I ordered a case from their website, and they came with both clear and some with designs on them. HOWEVER... the designed ones can somewhat easily be made clear. I fill the sink with water, dish soap and vinegar. Soak overnight or for at least a couple of hours. Then take a razor blade or scraper and remove. I have had some remove in one full sheet. The way I sub on them is actually to sub onto white permanent vinyl (not HTV) that is applied to the back of the board. You don't mirror and yes, the design comes through the vinyl and visible from top! I had seen someone do it and couldn't believe it until I tried it myself. I love hitting DT to find random things to try!
Thank you for this video! Zooming in on the products when you’re trying to show us “issues” would help us see the products more!
You're welcome!
17:38 hello! Love your ideas! For the wooden ornaments, did you sublimate directly on the wood, or did you prep it with polycrylic or laminate? Thank you again 🤗 have the best day!
Hey Tanner. Just watched this video. Thanks for trying all the items that you did. For any of the stretchy items like the hat, gloves socks you should put a template inside to stretch them so the ink gets inside the groves. I sublimated socks and always use a template. You can cut a cereal box or any food boxes and use them as a disposable template.
Thumbs up but could not see the results on some of those :) A final close up shot of the items on the table would have been awesome.
Yes, I was going to say the same thing until I saw your comment. This was a great video, just had a hard time seeing some of the items.
I agree. I stopped watching the video about halfway through because, I couldn't see the results on several of them. I'm not trying to be rude but....the video was supposed to show the results of sublimation on different items that many might not think of using. I will still give it a thumbs up... because there were some great ideas that I will save for future projects
DT is great for beginners like me. I've tried sublimating on wood, towels, and canvas panels all worked well. Sometimes I think items work better with a real press vs an easy press
I agree about the real press (like a clamshell or swing away press) getting better results. You can get a lot more pressure.
Sorry to bother the wood you sublimate directly to the Wood or Do you put something?
@@sirt358 You can apply Minwax Polycrylic, or thermal laminating sheets (available in the office supply store). The sublimation paper may stick to it but you can scrub it with a little water and your image shouldn't be affected.
A plain sketchbook with someone's name or design would be so cute for a little artist 🎨
You are fun to watch,I could watch you all day! Thanks for testing these out so now I know what will work! Off to the DT, ✌️
Yay! Thank you!
Try putting cardboard into the sock to stretch them out then sublimate onto them
I would be really curious to see how the fabrics items do after washing.
I tried hand towels and the sublimation washed away after one washing!
@@barbsmerkar6112 you gotta make sure they are more than 50% polyester if not it will wash out
Yes he should of washed as a demonstration
@@barbsmerkar6112 even 65% polyester will wash out and fade.
It would be interesting to see how the sublimation would turn out on the stretchy items if you were to stretch them out BEFORE the process.
This is what I do. And it turns out great.
YYYYAAYYYYYY COURTNEY!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM AND GREAT GUIDANCE. YOU ARE APPRECIATED.
You are so welcome!
This was super informative.
I've been using the white microfiber automotive towels for doing color tests on photographs. That way I don't ruin as many blanks
I just did this recently! I pressed four images of same picture on one, and added text for what the settings were (Photoshop manages colors, printer matches colors, edited vs. original photo, etc.)
Now I have more reasons to go to Dollar Tree tomorrow. Just started sublimating and I love it!! Thanks Tanner and crew!
It appear that Makers Gonna Learn doesn't reply often but I am hoping you will answer this. You got such a great result printing on the wood items. What is your secret. I can't get that vivid of a color, including after painting,
Still no answer two years later... Now Dec. 3, 2024...
Will the Cricut infusible ink sheets work as well?
OMG...I was watching this video and said "this is my $-tree!" Hello from Russellville. Loved the video.
Thank you! We're glad you liked it.
Makers Gonna Learn - Can you please do a follow up showing how everything held up when it was either washed or got wet? I’m curious to see how these items hold up after washing.
my thoughts exactly since most of these you will wash
My thoughts too. You can sub on anything. However it will wash out when washed
Wow!!!! I don’t know where you are but that’s the biggest and most organized Dollar Tree I have seen. It’s huge and has so much more than ours here in Baltimore
Man I just love your personality! Just a beautiful soul
So many of those things I had assumed were cotton and never even considered.
What if you stretched the stretchy things out over some sort of form to sublimate them? I’m thinking they would be more intense when not stretched, and still look good when stretched?
Very interesting ideas! I’m wondering if Cricut Infusible Ink can be used in the same way on the items that worked i.e the eyeglass pouch etc.
Infusible ink is sublimation ink.
Tfs xoxox and Merry Christmas 🎅 🤶 🎄 what temp and time did you use for application on products?
My favorite kind of video!!! Thank you, Tanner!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Hey there! Is the butterfly wood? Also, what kind of paint did you use? Did you laminate ? Thanks!!!
What would happen if you stretched fabric before the sublimation process? Like the socks, stocking hats?
Thank you so much for this video!!! I am juuuuuuuuuust learning! I've had my cricut a week! LOL! Your videos have been incredibly helpful when I want to throw in the towel!
Thanks to tanner im able to use HTV and make clothing items so well everyone wants to buy a hoodie
Their baby blankets are 100% polyester and sublimate beautifully
I tried to sublimate on a mug at the dollar tree with my cricut mug press and it didnt work. I've been making sublimate cancer items for a boutique Im a part of. How did you do the tin can when the irons are flat and you usually iron back and worth? Those turned out so good!!
Love your video very helpful and fun I just wish that there was someplace that you could puy pre-printed sublimation designs besides Etsy I dont want to change out my current Epson EcoTank as I have to use it for work BUT want to do some sublimating on various items I cant draw my own designs so am somewhat limited as to what I have been able to find to purchase Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !!
Hi, I just came across your video tonight, and I must say I’m hooked! Your hilarious and just so much fun to watch. Totally subscribed!
Thanks for subbing!
Have you tried sublimation on white glitter/htv vinyl? And on clear htv vinyl? I have not, but have seen videos that it works!
Do you have any videos comparing results from "regular" sublimation and sublimation done with Siser Easy Subli? I want to delve into sublimation and am really leaning toward the Siser Easy Subli, the only hesitation is the issue getting the Easy Subli sheets (they have been out of stock everywhere). Thoughts & ideas please!
Hello,
I have a question. Whats the difference between sublimation, printable iron on and htv in quality?
Htv is vinyl, not ink…sublimation is an ink transfer, like CRICUT makes for their mugs.
Did they stay on after washing them though. Because mine didn't stay on.
I actually did manage to sublimate on Dollar Tree wrapping paper the other day (it was the back side of a pink paper and the blowout on my press was intense, but it did work)
Which paint did you use for the butterfly? Thanks!
Hello. Did you spray anything on those blanks? Thanks for the video
Good evening, I hope you are well. I am following you from France and I wanted to thank you because thanks to your channel I could discover the potential of the cricut machines something that was not really known in France in 2019. I would also like to know where I could find the wall baskets that are behind you. Thank you and good continuation
I enjoyed your video but would have to disagree with the Teflon sheet comment. It's way better to use butcher paper on substrates to avoid overheating and blowout. It's been a game changer piece of advice for me. I only use the Teflon sheets for HTV now.
Pretty sure he meant in addition to butcher paper, use both on those types of materials!
OK Please “be kind folks”. Question: Is Sublimation the same as heat transfers? Or Rub on transfers? Where do you get yours? Do you make them from Cricut machine? 😜👋
Hi, so you can do sublimation on wood? (cool) what temperature?
So glad to see so many examples of different items you have tried. I was watching to see how the sublimation on wood turned out. Not sure if anything was shown, maybe the butterfly? Was it wooden? I need to make a trip to DT and try some wood items.
The Christmas tree near the end was wood.
WHy did the baby bibs work? Don't they have plastic on the back that would melt with high heat?
Whats the difference between sublimation are just heat tranfer vinyl? I just got a cricut but idk what sublimation is
I use Siser white glitter as an offset on my design. I have had great success on dark colors using this method
What kind of printer do you use ?
I loved this! Dylan I’m pulling over!!
So glad you loved it!
Dry erase board try 400 for 85 sec firm pressure, they turn out better. Also the toilet paper do 394 for 40 sec Medium pressure. Great video
The oven mitt that's 100% cotton will wash out. Sublimation needs polyester fibers to hold on to. Sublimation ink cannot hold on to 100% cotton. If it isn't I'd say, for me at least 65% polyester I won't even mess with it.
Did you do anything to the wood before subbing on them? (Trees)
So these are not cricut infusable ink paper. Is this printing with a.ink jet printer on what kind of paper?
Tanner. Tanner. Tanner. You never cease to amaze me. 😂🥰 Thank you for going the extra mile for us! Hugs!!
You are always welcome!
When done on fabric is it washable? I make quilts which are washed a lot.
Would you recommend?
I would love to personalize
Hi there, did you have to prep these items before sublimating? did those bibs and socks sublimate on towelling?
Yoooooo 31 seconds in, I love the breathalyzer 😂😂 but, on a more serious note, I love your videos tanner! You’re so helpful in teaching all of the various possibilities cricut has to offer!
This was awesome! Thank you for taking all of the work out for us. Now we know and can get right to the fun. 😃
You are so welcome!
What sublimation paper do you used
For the little buckets, could you use the Cricut hat press?
"make heaven crowded" is the most omnious sentence I've ever heard
I love these vlog style videos Tanner! I had no idea there were so many great blanks at DT!
So glad!
Making a a cardboard cutout of the hands or close to size of the hands that will be wearing the gloves and inserting in into the glove.....maybe will help? I would guess that a size somewhere in the middle would look the best for the image.
Did you put polycrylic on the bucket, dry erase board, and wood first.
Great Video! I didn’t see the make up pouch that you picked up at the DT in this video! I really wanted to see how that one came out! I’ll have to test out for myself! 🤷♀️ Thanks for the great info and tips!
i wish my dollar tree was this organized and had this good of a selection 😂
This dollar tree was probably notified they would be filmed and cleaned up. I still really like dollars tree tho
I've never see a DT as nice as all the ones on youtube. Like, where do y'all live??
@@7eather - My DT has hardly any craft items. I went to visit family in another state and was amazed at how large their craft area was, and the variety! I took several things home with me!!
Your'e so handsome! I gotta go back and look at your vinyl videos... I haven't used any from there yet!
Thank you!
can you make a video on time and temps for your items? and what kind of paint did you use to paint the butterfly before you subed on it?
Do you have to print on sublimation paper?
Can you sublimate on the flat (not stretched) canvas?
i am new to sublimation. People say your items must have a sublimation coating on the items. You are saying that the coating does not matter, correct?
ok am i missing somethign here how are u able to do this when it has to have a certain coat for things like mugs and have to be polyester not cotton
Interested in knowing the time and temp settings you used on the dollar tree items ?
A starting point on time, temp settings
Hi. I’m new to sublimation! How do we determine temperatures and time to press for? I have the larger Cricut heat press and want to try some of these items out! Thank you!

Thank you, video was great ! This is great to take the scare out of sublimation for beginners !
I haven't tried any sublimating yet... But this is such a fun video. I really enjoyed watching. Thank you!
Awsome video. Thanks vrry much. Do they wash well? .I will like to sell items.
Wish you had a camera showing down on your work, its hard to see how things turned out.
Thank you
I know..I guess his producer isn’t that good like he’s saying
Me too, it’s far away.
I love the video. Also they usually have polyester or blend shirts and tanks. I think some of the items you chose are to dark to last, unfortunately. Sublimation results are an unknown until it's washed, so taking all these you can and washing them a few times would be the real test of the items IMO. The white car towels they have are %100 polyester and sub really well for hand towels, they are a bit fluffy though so not perfect. I didn't know you could sublimate wood without a coating on it first, the tree turned out great. Thanks for sharing and considering items that are not all expensive circuit products.
Nice video, but like with tin can did you coat it with anything before sublimating?
What material was the butterfly?
What settings did you use for the infusible ink for Katie on the hat? Every setting I try on my maker 3 either years it or doesn’t cut all the way through
Nice but I didn't see the make-up bag? Did I miss it?
Love this video! I played a joke on my friend, and said let's drink every time they say Sublimate! haha, Let's just say she's speaking in cursive now haha. GREAT Video!
So glad you love it!
Could you not in theory sublimate wrapping paper if you scanned the pattern on your sublimation paper.
Hi Tanner! I was wondering about the dry eraser board. If we did just a pattern with no words, cause it's very suttle, could it still be used as a dry eraser board? That would be great office gifts. Thanks so much for all the testing. So cool!
Where was the leopard print cosmetics case?
If you heat 1 sheet protector piece (pull it in two) press that onto your surface first like wood, or dry erase, then sub over the top of it your colors are much more vibrant like how the wood pieces turned out. Also you can paint on polycrilic onto wood and let it dry then when you sub onto the wood it’s very vibrant colors!
I use thermal laminate sheets to sublimate on the dry erase boards from dollar tree and they come out SOOO vibrant!
Good to know!
Just bumped into your page. Thank you for the tips and I’ve always been interested in doing sublimation.
Hi Tanner from Michigan,
I am new to sublimination and excites to watch how to do it! Thank you
Welcome welcome!
Love your videos. Where do you get the “transfers” to iron on the items? Thank you.
The pot holders have a higher poly content than the oven mitts - you get a much better transfer. (At least that's what's available at my Dollar Tree)
WHAT PRINTER DO YOU USE
I sublimate on ribbon, the white shirt boxes, faux leather cosmetic bags, back of fabric placemats, table runners and I paint and laminate the galvanized metal signs
New subscriber .. I’ve sublimated using a modified Epson used printer I bought .. It’s gone to printer heaven. I can’t wait to see
Thanks for subbing!
Can you sublimation on christmas stocking
What kind of white paint did you use on the butterfly. Also we couldn't see the end result of most of the items you did. You need to actually show it to the camera
Tanner, could you sublimate some earrings blanks , 3D look.
