Hello! Friends, I’m super excited to share my project with you today...I have to say, this is my most favorite project I have created for Artesprix and I created many projects over the past year. Come...read along so you can learn how to make this adorable Wine Caddie. I’m pretty sure I will be gifting this to a friend who is a gnome lover… for Christmas, of course! Let’s get started!
Magic Ink that transfers their beautiful colors from plain copy paper to a polyester product with a heat source. Iron-on-Ink Markers are the way to personalize sublimation, which is specially formulated inks that transfer only when activated with heat.
Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Trace your Wine Caddie onto a plain piece of copy paper using a pencil. That way you know how much space you have to work with.
Set your heat press at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 seconds before you start working on your Wine Caddie. That way, the heat press will be hot enough to sublimate your images when you are finished.
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! These adorable Hanging Out Stamps are available at Trinity Stamps. *Link at the bottom.
Step 3: Color in the images using your sublimation markers.
Step 4: Flip the Crafter's Workshop Joyeux Noel stencil around to create a mirror image for the text and color in the sentiment using a Black Fine Tip Sublimation Marker.
Step 5: Using heat tape, tape down the Wine Caddie with the images faced-up.
Step 6: Place a piece of Protective Paper at the top and bottom of your Wine Caddie.
Step 7: Place your "Sublimation Sandwich" inside the heat press for 30 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!
