thank you!

Thank you for the video very informative, I have a question when you are doing sublimation what are you using to coat your blank?

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

for acrylic you don't need to use anything! It is able to accept the sublimation ink - not sure what the chemical composition is that allows it, but it works! You just have to be sure you use white if you want everything to show since your sublimation printer won't print white

Great video, thank you! can you share the cut dimensions for a 40 OZ Stanley? My fit is either too big or too small! THANK YOU!

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

I have a template on my website that might help - thingskatiemakes.com and then choose shop - should get you there

[@530mamaj]

For the examples you showed, the 73x33 and 80x33mm tags.. are these specifically for any Stanley or a certain size? I don’t own any Stanley’s to check myself lol I’d like to start working on some but want to provide the proper sizes!

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Hi! yes the larger one fits the Quencher 2.0 40oz and the smaller fits the Quencher 2.0 30oz

[@lstinson144]

Sublimation on acrylic, please

[@hidinightlinger2112]

What type of 3m product do you use to layer the acrylic names?

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

I have a video about glues that should help! th-cam.com/video/2hIi8Wq3k70/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RHDvVdY2_BiLZ4kC

[@judystearns1956]

What kind of material do you use to make them?

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Acrylic - all different kinds

[@TINAMORRIS-oe4zz]

Could you please link the vinyl cutter that you use.

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Sure! I use the Cricut Explore 3: amzn.to/3tHt3jQ

[@belindashaw7462]

Thanks Katie. Do you sell the tumbler template as a file?

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Yes I do! thingskatiemakesco.etsy.com/listing/1590972767

[@carliekulivan3188]

hi! i received the wrong etsy order and the seller will not accept returns. she mixed up two of the colors and I needed to switch one acrylic name and put it on the other color bow. do you think I could do that without breaking the acrylic?

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

Ooooff - probably not :(

[@ThingsKatieMakes]

That really stinks!
