Awesome video. I've got some infusible ink that I've been intimidated to try but you convinced me to go for it. Those heart blankis would be perfect for the upcoming Mother's Day holiday. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, Jackie! Thank you for your comment. The Holiday Maker Fest was so fun, wasn't it? I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos and finding them helpful. I love to create and share! :)
wow, finally a really good an helpful video and I must say, I ordered these key chains right away, because they turned out great, thanks so much for sharing, love from Germany
@@AmyRomeu I meant to ask "what is the price range that these sell for?" I am trying to estimate the profitability. Thanks again. I will be watching this tutorial several times over the next few days to make sure I completely understand the technique.
@@callieoops3694 Hi, thanks for your reply. I suggest searching on Etsy for personalized name keychains to get a price range. You can also look on your local Facebook marketplace to research pricing in your local area if you sell at craft fairs. :)
Soooo cute, and with the holidays seems like fastly approaching these would make great Christmas gifts!! Great video, and you really make it very detailed for those who want to try They came out beautiful!!
These turned out so cute!! I have been making keychains lately but have not tried the infusible ink so will have to add that to my bucket list :). Always love watching your videos, thanks so much!!
Just liked and subscribed, I have the white blanks with the many different shapes the tassels etc. Going to do them right away. I would like to add a keychain as a gift tag this Christmas it will have their first name on it. I am designing it in Cricut Design Space and just made a rectangle for the rectangle blanks and sliced out a name on a few different rectangles and will put a bunch of different infusible ink sheets on my mat and cut them out. If I can I will show pic when they are done, not sure if I can do that or not. LOL. Thanks, I think I knew "most" of what you talked about but not the heat and time, which is really what I needed to know and the bonus was the assembly with the parts. Thanks SO MUCH. Oh! and I was paused the video to listen for my cat . . . . LOL!
Thank you !! This video helped a lot. Being new to this it was very informative. New subscriber now. Just a quick question please, is there a way to get a design on a clear acrylic keychain? I have a design like a smokey looking colorful butterfly that I wanted to use on a keychain. Would it be that I would have to go the sublimation route? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! If the design isn't something with clear lines that can be cut from vinyl, yes, sublimation would be a good way to go!
Hi Amy ! I'm loving your videos ! But I have a question can you do this on clear acrylic keychains and for what time and how many seconds. I have the 2 in in diameter clear acrylic keychains.
Hi, Vonda! You can do this on clear keychains. All infusible ink needs a temp of 400 degrees and 60 seconds is the recommended time. Remember the acrylic piece will be super hot so let it rest for a few minutes before trying to remove the paper! I hope that helps.
I wish I had a heat press now !! This looks so easy and fun ! I have one little curious question, at the end you showed 2 keychains with the longer tassels ... one with the name Amy .. what font is that ? Its a great little cursive font !
Thank you so much for your comment! That font is called Pacifico. It's free on dafont.com and is one of my favorite script fonts. It's fun, with thicker lines so it's very easy to weed. Thanks again for watching! :)
@@AmyRomeu thank you so much! I wanted to add.. I love all your videos.l just this one was more brilliant to me then any of the others i have watched so far. lol
I have a question please. The instructions on the glitter keychain states 365 degrees for 50 seconds but I noticed you heated yours on 400 for 60 seconds. Can you tell me why and is that I should use?
My pleasure! I use R-Tape for car decals and I buy it from The Rhinestone World. This is the roll I have: www.therhinestoneworld.com/fdc-high-tack-application-tape-12-inch
Hi, Dianne, Yes, you certainly could. You can layer infusible ink on top of itself. I would recommend a light color on the bottom and making the text a darker color so you get some contrast. Press each layer separately, too. First the bottom, then the text. Let me know if you try this. I'd love to hear how it goes.
Hi, yes you can! I often do. :) I recommend starting with low heat and pressing for 5-10 seconds at a time. I use the Cricut EasyPress Mini on the Low setting, or you can use a regular EasyPress or heat press at about 265 degrees and see how that goes.
So I tried it and it was a FAIL, yikes. absolutely nothing transferred onto the keychain blank, I have the ones that have a bunch of different shapes and came with tassels, etc. Not the ones you have that look like stitching on the edge. So I had to go back to my Amazon orders and make sure it said sublimation in the description and it did. So I was stumped. Then I noticed under the item description a section called About this Item and it said the following: "【Warmly Note】 Before using the Round Blanks, please tear off a protective cover on both sides of every single one of them and you will get a perfect blanks. Moreover, Put the board (keychain blank) on the machine (press) to preheat for about three minutes, then print the image at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius (356 Fahrenheit) for 40 seconds, you will get a nice project, also you can print on 2 sides, because of its double-sided Sublimation Blanks."
So then since the one side was also bubbled and wrecked AND no ink transferring I warmed the blank up (other side) like it says above and then took a piece of the weeding garbage and stuck it on the blank and followed the directions above and it worked. So now I'm wondering how to tape the design to a hot blank. I can't believe how well yours worked and mine did not as it sure "looks" like the same blank. And I mean I had nothing on them at all for the first tryout - I thought for a secondt I put the ink sheet upside down it was still SO white, no shadow or anything, if it hadn't bubbled from the 400F I think I would've been able to use it to try again. Anyone else have this problem? Well not a problem now except for trying to tape something on a very hot blank. I hadn't ever tried this so I expected some hiccups with a new craft. So good experiment today anyway and I just love doing these now I know I can get it to transfer. I'm going to go watch the video again - maybe I missed where you warmed up the blanks.
Hi, Patricia! I have never warmed up sublimation blanks, so you didn't miss me doing that in the video. The step of removing the protective layer is very important. Keep trying and you'll get it!
I haven't tried yet but I do see that your temp & time that you mention is different than in the video. Hope you've had more successes rather than fails.
I love your videos! You're a great teacher, and it makes me want to try everything you teach!!
You are so kind, thank you for the lovely comment! I love hearing you are inspired to make all the crafts! :)

Love your earrings. Can you use permanent vinyl or only htv? Thanks
Hi, Fiona! Thanks! You can use either, it's up to you!
I have a question please. The instructions on the glitter keychain states 365 degrees for 50 seconds but I noticed you heated yours on 400 for 60 seconds. Can you tell me why and is that I should use?
Hi, Kay! For sublimation ink to transfer fully with vibrant colors, it needs to be close to 400 degrees for 60 seconds as a general rule. :)
I love your work. I made a key chain a few weeks ago. I noticed it chipped. Is there a way to seal it?
Hi, Robin! You could seal them with Mod Podge or even UV resin if you wanted to.
Can a big t shirt press work on these little keychains? I only have the mini easy press and like a big industrial press
Yes, Jennifer! You can use a traditional heat press for sure. :)
This is great. Thank you. Where do you purchase your transfer tape in the larger rolls?
My pleasure! I use R-Tape for car decals and I buy it from The Rhinestone World. This is the roll I have: www.therhinestoneworld.com/fdc-high-tack-application-tape-12-inch
@@AmyRomeu thank you very much
Can you do the name on another infusible ink instead of vinyl?
Hi, Dianne, Yes, you certainly could. You can layer infusible ink on top of itself. I would recommend a light color on the bottom and making the text a darker color so you get some contrast. Press each layer separately, too. First the bottom, then the text. Let me know if you try this. I'd love to hear how it goes.

Is butcher paper the same as parchment paper?
Hi, Alexandra! I don’t think they are exactly the same, but for Cricut crafting purposes, they can be used interchangeably.
Mine would'nt cut out my vinyl.
Sorry to hear that! Have you been able to cut vinyl with your Cricut for other projects?
Do you seal the keychains?
Hi, Gloria! No I don’t seal them. :)
great video..but it kinda sounds like you are chewing gum..lol
I was! I totally forgot to take it out. My son who edits my videos was so mad at me! :( I promise I won't forget again. :)
Haha, i thought the same thing about the gum !! Turned me off a bit since i was listening with head phones on !!
Looking for the links
Hi, Monique! All the links are in the video description. You may have to expand the section to see the description.
So I tried it and it was a FAIL, yikes. absolutely nothing transferred onto the keychain blank, I have the ones that have a bunch of different shapes and came with tassels, etc. Not the ones you have that look like stitching on the edge. So I had to go back to my Amazon orders and make sure it said sublimation in the description and it did. So I was stumped.

Hi, Monique! All the links are in the video description. You may have to expand the section underneath the video to see the description.
I love your work but you could probably not chew gum when your doing a video.
I know, I completely forgot and thought it could be edited out. My mistake!
