Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Using a sheet of copy paper and pencil, trace the frame onto the paper so you know how much space you are working with.

Step 2:  Stamp images onto a sheet of copy paper using the Sublimation Ink Pad. Tip: Before you stamp on your main project copy paper, you may want to stamp your image on a scrap piece of paper a few times. Sometimes, the ink does not cling to stamps too well, which doesn’t always give you a crisp image. You can eliminate this issue just by stamping on a scrap piece of paper a few times… Trust me! 

Tip: Set your heat press at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds before you start coloring in your images. That way, the heat press will be hot enough to sublimate your images when you are finished. :)

Step 3: Color in the images using your sublimation markers. 

Step 4:  Using heat tape, tape down the frame with the images faced-up. 

Step 7: Place a piece of Protective Paper at the top and bottom of your frame.  

Step 7: Place your "Sublimation Sandwich" inside the heat press for 60 seconds at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Step 8: Take a little peep test to make sure the colors are vibrant.

Step 9:  Carefully, remove the frame from the heat press using gloves. Then place the frame onto the Project Mat to cool down. After a minute or two, remove the paper and heat tape to reveal your vivid designs! 

Step 10: Assemble picture frame as desired, vertically. Place protective mylar film in picture frame before assembling.
