I still love making these cups and I use been using 100% acetone nail polish remover from the dollar tree to take the original writing off the cup. It works like a charm😄 thanks again for this video
That’s awesome, yes the nail polish remover works great, don’t remember who gave the tip but was awesome, I haven’t made one of these in awhile, but I did a crap ton around the time I made this video
Get a plastic shoebox, or any rectangular storage basket from dollar tree would work. and a pool noodle from dollar tree. Cut pool noodle and place on the long sides of the box, now you can place your cup between the pool noodles. Keeps your cup in place while you are trying to get the decal on evenly
I appreciate you sharing your mistakes as you've done them. To help us avoid the same mistakes and not just editing that part out. Well done! P.S. You're Chipmunk 🐿 addition was great 🙃
Thank you for your quick response about the template. Once the template was downloaded, I printed the template and realized I have 12 oz 2 for a dollar cups from Dollar General. With your template, I was able to reconstruct a template. Now to conquer babbling. Thanks for the instructions, and I look forward to many more.
Thank you so much Jeremy for this video! I purchased your template and was able to make this cup! Your customer service and way of explaining is outstanding!! :)
So everyone, just an afterthought, or something I just learned as well since we just started making these 2 weeks ago, mod podge the cup after and will seal and keep laminate from peeling and protect the image.
I do not or have not used mod podge to seal my cups. As I stated above I have hand washed them a bunch with no problems. I advise customers to hand wash, no dishwasher, and don’t leave sitting in a sink full of water. If they follow that the cup should last a long time. I have seen others say they mod podge to prevent laminate from peeling. And that after mod podge cures for 28 days it is safe. I do not know about that, I will look at the mod podge my wife has for her projects myself when I her home to see if food grade safe or not, but I was just passing info. I had seen from others if anyone was having peeling issues. But thank you for sharing that, I will def be looking into that and if not food safe I will remove the information!
Their is modge podge that is food safe and also polycrylic. I saw these items being mentioned and used on another channel, makers gonna make. The cure time is 28 days I believe. I hope this helps a bit.
Just FYI, if you want to take the original image off first just warm the cup up by putting hot water inside then run with rubbing alcohol then wash with dawn 🙂
First I'll say that I am a repeat customer of Touch of Class Creations, I highly recommend them for your merchandise needs! Very informative video hope to see more
One of the most helpful videos ive seen ❤really appreciate it you❤ definitely need the tiny mishaps to help learn how to fix them when we run into them ❤ definitely helps people not be afraid to make mistakes and keep trying. And the adjusting temperature 😅 yes! Not all machines are alike find your favorite whatever worksfor you .🎉
Thank you very much, really appreciate the kind words, yes, the mistakes are the biggest lessons in life, especially in this business, all the tiny little mishaps are what makes us get better!!
Thanks. Sharing “information is power”-ful. Sublimating on laminate/vinyl, valuable piece of information. Heading to your site to see other great tutorials.
First time viewer! Your tutorial was absolutely perfect and beginner friendly. I've never worked with sublimation but after watching your video...I'm soooooo ready.
I wanna try this. I found the same type of cups at rite aid with no phrase on it. Not to mention they have $1 32oz water bottles too that would be cool to do this. I’m going to your Etsy site to try and get this template. These make great gifts! Thanks for this video!
No problem, thanks for watching and if the template doesn’t fit the rite aid cups perfect just tweak the settings slightly, I have a few more template I’ll be uploading soon, another dollar tree, and a target tumbler that’s like 3 for $5, hopefully in the next few weeks, and stay tuned for more videos🙏

Thank you for that idea, that is actually perfect, cheap, and way easier than the odd tools I always grab and use lol!! Thanks for sharing and watching!!
Thanks so much for sharing this. I bought your template, cut it from cardstock to make sure of the sizing (I'm using a Cricut), and it was perfect! I have all my supplies and cup making happens this week!!

Thank you, I made a lot of these last year, haven’t had the time myself for these anymore, I was more caught up for the fact of being able to sublimate on laminate, but they are fun and great for like kids parties
Hi Jeremy, I'm back, lol. So I went and bought the thermal lamination. I have found, you must use Thermal laminate for this to work. Followed your instructions, only this time I used the thermal and I had no problems what so ever. It worked!! Yay!! Thank you and keep up the great work.
No problem Diane, glad it worked with the thermal and now at least we know regular laminate pouches don’t work, must be thermal. Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome. I just made some but am having trouble with the laminate sticking to my vinyl. Amy suggestions on to resolve this. When I start wrapping the cup the laminate starts detaching from the vinyl.
Thank you so much for watching! The first thing I would say is make sure you are using 3 mil laminate or thinner, I have tried with 5 mil and had same issue constantly. Other than that I would make sure you are using enough pressure and heat, there have been a lot of questions on this and those are usually the main issues.
Thank u very much for watching and supporting, definitely a lot u can do with subbing! Stay tuned to the channel for more ideas and let me know if u ever have any questions!!
Just found your channel. Excellent video!! Explained very well!! Hope you continue making videos on sublimation. I'm a newby at it too. But I'm loving it. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you Diane, I appreciate it, and I have another video I’m editing and shooting another tonight so you will definitely see more content and how to Videos really soon, so definitely subscribe if you haven’t yet so you will be notified when I release new videos
Let me see if I understood correctly. You cut the laminate sheet, permanent vinyl and printed sublimation sheet with the cup template. You laminated the vinyl first, and then you sublimated on the laminated vinyl. After that, you wrapped your cup with the vinyl like any other decal...Is that right? I know you don’t have to seal the outside, but do you prep the cup with anything to prevent the decal from coming off? (maybe you said it, but I didn’t catch it) thank you for the tutorial!
Nancy, you are correct, and did not miss any steps. I do not pretreat with anything, and make sure cups sit 24 hours and tell customers hand wash only, I haven’t had any issues, although I also have heard others sealing with epoxy or mod podge, key is making sure everything is adhered , No overhanging pieces or loose spot
Lol, yes that was only double speed, so wasn’t too tough, my last video, the blanket one, has a chipmunk that is a wee bit harder to catch lol! Welcome to the channel!! Thank you for subscribing!!
Definitely do, they are easy and turn out nice, check out the tumbler one too, who woulda thought u could sub on regular vinyl, amongst the many other products u can sub on with laminate.
@@madelinescreations7718 hey there, the measurements are included in the .txt file that was included with your download. Otherwise contact me through Etsy and I will send you the measurements there!! Thank you!!
Loved this tutorial! I'm interested in sublimation, and was wondering how this could be done with airpod cases, and I'm guessing this technique is similar. I really like this idea, great for holiday gift baskets!
Thank you, and thank you for watching!! Yes, u can wrap all kinds of things this way, u could probably do air pod cases this way, or u could buy sublimation air pod cases as well, lots of options! Can do lighters, tin buckets, million different kind of cups, u can see by my other videos some things like clocks and cutting boards.
You mentioned that you cut it with sizzors instead of the machine because it left a line. Up at the top left where the line color selection is at, theres the line size: lower it to zero and it will cut tight around the image. Usually the line size it set higher.
Yes I did and that’s awesome news, something I been meaning to play with for a while and have just been overly busy to her to it, so thank you very much for sharing that!
Thank you for watching! I would say for an order of 100 I would look for a way to outsource them. I had made a few of these for my kid, and a few customers, but if I took and order for 100 I would outsource them, heck even if I took an order for that many tumblers id outsource them
Thanks you for this video. I just purchased your template. But I am unable to download it. I have been trying for several minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Can you please help me?
Hello, no problem, for help with Etsy files, it is easier to help through Etsy as it notifies me immediately, but basically if u go to your account profile and purchases and reviews there will be a download button to redownload any prior purchases, that should work if u continue to have issues contact me through Etsy and I will email the file to you.
This is so amazing! I ordered my sublimation printer and all the supplies yesterday so i've been doing research on it for awhile now and this is honestly the best most explanatory video i have seen yet, Alvin Xd I do have one question, is this waterproof?
Thank you very much, and welcome to sublimation!! I would not say waterproof, they can be washed and dried, I would not leave them sitting in a sink with water. And I haven’t done it, but some people are sealing them to make more waterproof I guess, but at this point I barely make these anymore as they are not super cost effective. They are great for personal use and kids and parties and the like! Hope that helps
I need help!!!!! I have done (to me) exactly what you did I heat the laminate shiny side up on top of the permanent vinyl, press it for 20 sec on 400. Then get my sublimation sheet and place it on top of the lamination sheet and press for 60 sec on 400. What is happening to me is that the everything is perfect, but my laminating sheet is not stiking to the vinyl. Not sure if is the bland of the vinyl or the brand of the laminating sheet, but that should not matter because its laminating sheet and the vinyl is permanent like the oracal 651. What am I doing wrong?
From my experience I have tried this process with 3 mil and 5 mil thickness thermal laminating sheets, so first thing is need to be thermal laminating sheets the self stick adhesive pouches I don’t think work. If your are using thermal I have tried this with 5 mil thermal sheets and they do not stick, I do not know if it is because they are thicker, but the 3 mil ones I’ve never had an issue with, my wife bought home a pack of 5 mil and 3 different cups they wouldn’t stick, drive me crazy til I realized they were thicker, that is the only thing I can think of, hope it helps!
Hello, thanks for watching, first off double check your heat press if possible to see if presses hotter than readout says, secondly if seems mainly on edges then use a laminate bigger then the template, the laminate seems to protect the vinyl somewhat from the heat, so I generally have just been using full laminate sheet and cutting edges away after pressing, try that and see if that resolves your issues
Same here .. i watched and was like.. why didn't I think of that.. normal printing on a vinyl doesn't look as sharp and colorful. You have just fixed a lot of my shirt problems too.. I have yet to try spray bright but well see which works better .. I love this video.
Wow i never knew about any of this. Anyway, so u heat up the sublimation n laminate for 20 sec and then from that to vinyl for 60sec? Sorry, im not sure if i heard it properly. Love ur tutorial.
I don’t think this would work with a Cricut mug press because the cups are plastic, they would melt, that’s why we sub then wrap the cup, and thank you, and thank your for watching!!
Can you give me some tips ive done them and ur method is great they come out really nice but as soon as soon as I pour coffee it start to creat bubbles what can I do to prevent this ?
Hi thanku for answering yes Im using exactly as u recommended on ur video I have even used modge podge spray , modge podge and epoxy and i still get that bubble as soon as we pour coffee
@@heidyespinoza3215 I have not used these for coffee nor have I had anyone mention this specific issue. Lots of bubbling while pressing, but not with hot liquid. Sadly I am not sure what tips to give, when I get time I will make one and try and try coffee in it and see what I can come up with.
Thank you for your video. Man, do you ever remind me of myself. I’m 52 and just starting this as a hobby to help kill some time while I wait for back surgery. COVID has messed up the surgery schedule here in Saskatchewan. Anyway, I really liked your video. I watched every second of it learning and laughed a few times Re: Chipmunks. Keep up the great work. What I was originally looking for though was an answer to …. Can a person sublimate on any ceramic mug or is it a special kind of mug ? But thx to your video, I learned a new way as well. Cheers
Mike, thanks for watching and the kind words, yes sir, never woulda thought I woulda been I got this kinda thing a few years ago lol, never the less I’m enjoying it. That sucks about your back, good luck getting it fixed up, hopefully things get better there and everywhere soon. As for the mugs, they have to be coated with a coating, u can buy stuff to do it yourself, which I have tried, but find it easier to just order the sublimatable mugs, less hassle in having to apply a coat perfectly for the sub to come out right! U can generally find the mugs with coating already for between $1 to 1.50 usd.
I think the only reason the vinyl holds up under the heat press is the laminate, if any vinyl is not covered by laminate it melts, but u can heat press vinyl under glass too, see my other video on this channel doing the cutting boards with vinyl and dollar tree cutting boards, that uses no laminate and u sub directly to the oracal 651
I have never tried with a coffee mug, I don’t know that the laminate would stick, would probably just be better off sublimating coffee mugs, but in theory I don’t see why you couldn’t do this on a coffee mug
When I load the template for the coffee cup its not the right size. What are the measurements for them to be right? Thank you so much I enjoy your videos.
Hey Renee, thank you for watching and supporting us! Your .zip file has a .txt file in it with the correct measurements to set your template up. If you cannot locate it, contact me via your Etsy order and I will give the measurements
The best way I have found to keep them from peeling is hand wash and not leave sitting in sink or liquid for any period of time, these are best used for like kids parties and things of that nature in my opinion
Yes my heat press for shirts is a heat press nation signature series 15x15 swing away with the sure pressure system, and mugs I have a mug press that can with my first heat press I ever ordered but it was a no name Amazon special 12x15 6 in one or 8 in one
Thank you for watching! Yes sublimation requires sublimation ink, and a printer designated specifically for sublimation. You can buy a sublimation printer from person or sawgrass already set up for sublimation, or buy an epson eco-tank and convert it for sublimation. For conversion ideas check-out Facebook group Sublimation Cove, or CZcams, I will have a recommendations page coming soon with links to various different machines and supplies I myself specifically use and can vouch for, in the meantime let me know if I can answer anymore questions and check out the ones I listed
I'm still having some bubbles. Ive adjusted my heat and pressure but, could this be a material issue? Im using starcraft but same laminate as u. Ive never had any trouble out of SC but...this is a whole new world for me.
Yes it can, although it is a little tougher with cricut than silhouette, I made another video to show other ways to set up your image in silhouette if drag and drop doesn’t work, the ideas here can be done in cricut as well, like pattern fill for example. Check this out and see if it helps. czcams.com/video/B6pPLnV_4uc/video.html
So if you open the svg file ( chrome/edge html file) it should open to correct size. You probably have to rotate your template 90 degrees once u set up your image, and I believe it is too big for cricut to do print and cut, but u can print the template and cut by hand, which isn’t too tough as it is a easy design, if u still continue to have problems contact me through Etsy and I can send some screen shots to further explain.
You would have to have some type of poly based spray for the sublimation ink to adhere to, so I’d imagine if they make a spray it would be easier, but being these are plastic cups I don’t know how you would sub the image to the cup if you had a spray, highly doubt these would hold up to a mug press. And there are surely easier, and probably better methods of doing this, this is just one way I found to do it and shared the info and technique. It’s a nice way to spice up a dollar tree cup and a cheap way to practice subbing and wrapping cups
I tried this and my laminate is not adhering to the vinyl. Pressing the laminate for 20secs at 400F then the sub print for 60secs. Any idea why the laminated print is not sticking???
My first guess would be it’s thicker than 3 mil laminate. My wife brought some home from work, I know it was thicker than 3 mil because I’ve only used 3 mil thickness, and it wouldn’t stick at all, would peel from vinyl before I could finish wrapping it. Went back to 3 mil and no problems. So seems like same issue
Exceptional video! Why did you choose the Cameo over the Cricut? You have both machines. Just curious. I have the Cricut already and was wondering do I need a Cameo.
I use the cameo because it was the first machine we got and my wife didn’t understand the software, so I learned cameo and then we ended up getting the Cricut for her. Now the one I used is a 4 that has the 15” cut width, so it does cut a little wider, but I used the cameo 3 for the longest and prefer the silhouette software over the Cricut, really the machines will cut the same stuff minus the width, but Cricut software is a bit more restrictive in certain ways, if anything I see a lot of Cricut users using silhouette software for design and setup and then just transfer to Cricut to cut? But if u have no problems with Cricut then it may not matter to you
im kinda new but i never bought a template before. I bought yours but when i open the jpg in silhoutte it opens way to big and when i click on the file template one it acts like its opening but it never does anything Am i missing something? Im also new to silhoutte studio cause ive been using cricut but i like this studio program better
Hey there, for the template if your using silhouette studio, then open the file that ends with.studio3 file, it was made in silhouette and will open to exact size. And make sure your studio program is up to date. Make sure you have unzipped the file as well before trying to open it. Also for quicker response with help on the template, if you contact me through the Etsy store where you bought the template it is a direct message system, so I respond quicker and can send pics if need. Thank you for watching and supporting!!
If your using silhouette u have to drag the image in from outside the program, if using cricut drag and drop isn’t supported. Here is a video to give u examples of ways to set up your image czcams.com/video/B6pPLnV_4uc/video.html
hi Jeremy....excellent video, i purchased the cameo 4 recently and i love using it, im about to order the sg500 printer and look forward to replicating some of your projects. have subscribed and look forward to your next video. stay well my friend Tony UK ;-)
Thank you Tony, the Cameo and sawgrass are both great and a lot of fun. U will enjoy it!! I have some family in the UK, my cousin lives there with her hubby!! Cheers my friend!!
@@tonycarrington4426 they are in London, not exactly sure where, unfortunately haven’t gotten to go for a visit yet, although they just welcomed a baby, so may have to try and get over there soon!
I wonder if you can sub on glossy oracle 651 and skip the laminate? Have you tried? I have a ton of 651 glossy I wonder if that could be laminated also? Or if you could even skip the laminate and sub straight on it...
U can sub to oracal matte and glossy, I’ve only done it for cutting boards where the sub goes through the front and looks faded but looks vivid on the sticky side, maybe less time and will look vibrant on the non-sticky side. But the image holds really nice in the laminate which is the main reason for the laminate, other than cutting boards I haven’t tried subbing on the straight vinyl, but if u watch the cutting board video I made or any out there and see subbing to vinyl
Could be a couple of different things… make sure u have .3 laminate or thinner, and check your press is not heating hotter than what it says, too many bubbles usually means too much heat, u can also try to squeegee a little after u first lift the press, that can help if your not getting too many bubbles, start there, also check this comments , lots of good advice from others here too
Your welcome and thank you!! Yes, I would recommend hand washing. If you liked the video subscribe to the channel, I will be dropping a new tutorial tomorrow and try to do at least one each week.

So everyone, just an afterthought, or something I just learned as well since we just started making these 2 weeks ago, mod podge the cup after and will seal and keep laminate from peeling and protect the image.
I have washed the cups and they have been fine, I’ve heard from others mod podge will seal it longer though, just passing on the info. folks

You laminated the vinyl first, and then you sublimated on the laminated vinyl. After that, you wrapped your cup with the vinyl like any other decal...Is that right? I know you don’t have to seal the outside, but do you prep the cup with anything to prevent the decal from coming off? (maybe you said it, but I didn’t catch it) thank you for the tutorial!
Nancy, you are correct, and did not miss any steps. I do not pretreat with anything, and make sure cups sit 24 hours and tell customers hand wash only, I haven’t had any issues, although I also have heard others sealing with epoxy or mod podge, key is making sure everything is adhered , No overhanging pieces or loose spot
Thanks
Thank u for watching!!
👌 nice
Thank you !!
this is super cool. thanks for sharing
I can actually understand Alvin the chipmunk. Great video. New subscriber.
Lol, yes that was only double speed, so wasn’t too tough, my last video, the blanket one, has a chipmunk that is a wee bit harder to catch lol! Welcome to the channel!! Thank you for subscribing!!
This is amazing
Thank you for watching! 🙏 we appreciate it!!
thank you so much I was wanting to do this but found no video or template just bougth the template
Awesome, thank you for watching, how did it turn out? ( sorry, somehow I missed your comment originally 😳 I’m sorry)
You did amazing I must try this ❤️
Definitely do, they are easy and turn out nice, check out the tumbler one too, who woulda thought u could sub on regular vinyl, amongst the many other products u can sub on with laminate.
Hey Best Uni 💓 💓💓
Awesome job! Thank you for sharing your style!!!
No problem, glad u enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching!!
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful.
Thank you for watching, stay tuned for more!
This template works great!! I bought 1 other prior didnt work at all! Thanks!
No problem, glad you like it, I am sorry to hear others are selling bad stuff, glad you found us!!
Great job great tutorial thank you
Your welcome, thank u for watching and supporting us!!
I ordered your pattern but it didn’t cut the size right what are the measurements? I’m using a cricut
@@madelinescreations7718 hey there, the measurements are included in the .txt file that was included with your download. Otherwise contact me through Etsy and I will send you the measurements there!! Thank you!!
@@TouchofClassCreations yes I printed out the instructions thank you
Loved this tutorial! I'm interested in sublimation, and was wondering how this could be done with airpod cases, and I'm guessing this technique is similar. I really like this idea, great for holiday gift baskets!
Thank you, and thank you for watching!! Yes, u can wrap all kinds of things this way, u could probably do air pod cases this way, or u could buy sublimation air pod cases as well, lots of options! Can do lighters, tin buckets, million different kind of cups, u can see by my other videos some things like clocks and cutting boards.
Great walk-through!
Thank you!!
Great video !
Thank you!!
älskar dina video!
Thank you for watching
Learned a lot. Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching, stay tuned for more!
You mentioned that you cut it with sizzors instead of the machine because it left a line. Up at the top left where the line color selection is at, theres the line size: lower it to zero and it will cut tight around the image. Usually the line size it set higher.
Yes I did and that’s awesome news, something I been meaning to play with for a while and have just been overly busy to her to it, so thank you very much for sharing that!
So you press the laminate on the vynil then the sub image on that? That's cool thanx
Yes that is correct, although technically you could do sub to laminate first. And no problem, thank you for watching!
OMG!!😳 What an AWESOME tutorial!!👏🏼🎉🙋🏻♀️tfs
No problem, thanks for watching and glad it helped!! Stay tuned for more!!
I enjoyed your Video. How long would it take to make 1 cup? If you had a order of 100 cups how would you do this job?
Thank you for watching! I would say for an order of 100 I would look for a way to outsource them. I had made a few of these for my kid, and a few customers, but if I took and order for 100 I would outsource them, heck even if I took an order for that many tumblers id outsource them
Thank you for sharing I'm new to sublimation
No problem, have fun doing it, let me know if you have any questions
Just found and subscribed, great explanations !!
Thank you, and Thank you for watching and subscribing, we really appreciate it!!
Thanks you for this video. I just purchased your template. But I am unable to download it. I have been trying for several minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Can you please help me?
Hello, no problem, for help with Etsy files, it is easier to help through Etsy as it notifies me immediately, but basically if u go to your account profile and purchases and reviews there will be a download button to redownload any prior purchases, that should work if u continue to have issues contact me through Etsy and I will email the file to you.
Do you seal these cups so that they can be washed
This is so amazing! I ordered my sublimation printer and all the supplies yesterday so i've been doing research on it for awhile now and this is honestly the best most explanatory video i have seen yet, Alvin Xd I do have one question, is this waterproof?
Thank you very much, and welcome to sublimation!! I would not say waterproof, they can be washed and dried, I would not leave them sitting in a sink with water. And I haven’t done it, but some people are sealing them to make more waterproof I guess, but at this point I barely make these anymore as they are not super cost effective. They are great for personal use and kids and parties and the like! Hope that helps
I need help!!!!! I have done (to me) exactly what you did I heat the laminate shiny side up on top of the permanent vinyl, press it for 20 sec on 400. Then get my sublimation sheet and place it on top of the lamination sheet and press for 60 sec on 400. What is happening to me is that the everything is perfect, but my laminating sheet is not stiking to the vinyl. Not sure if is the bland of the vinyl or the brand of the laminating sheet, but that should not matter because its laminating sheet and the vinyl is permanent like the oracal 651. What am I doing wrong?
From my experience I have tried this process with 3 mil and 5 mil thickness thermal laminating sheets, so first thing is need to be thermal laminating sheets the self stick adhesive pouches I don’t think work. If your are using thermal I have tried this with 5 mil thermal sheets and they do not stick, I do not know if it is because they are thicker, but the 3 mil ones I’ve never had an issue with, my wife bought home a pack of 5 mil and 3 different cups they wouldn’t stick, drive me crazy til I realized they were thicker, that is the only thing I can think of, hope it helps!
Great tutorial! Thanks!
No problem, thank you for watching!!
Great job really appreciated this video, guy
Thank you!!
My laminate always seems to crinkle when heat pressed. Any reason why or any pointers on how to avoid that? Thank you!! ❤️
Hello, thanks for watching, first off double check your heat press if possible to see if presses hotter than readout says, secondly if seems mainly on edges then use a laminate bigger then the template, the laminate seems to protect the vinyl somewhat from the heat, so I generally have just been using full laminate sheet and cutting edges away after pressing, try that and see if that resolves your issues
I never knew you could sublimate on vinyl!!! I can’t wait to see what new vids you come out with. This was great and that sawgrass prints beautifully.
Thank you!!
Same here .. i watched and was like.. why didn't I think of that.. normal printing on a vinyl doesn't look as sharp and colorful. You have just fixed a lot of my shirt problems too.. I have yet to try spray bright but well see which works better .. I love this video.
@@pearlaudelo1366 thank you!!
Wow i never knew about any of this. Anyway, so u heat up the sublimation n laminate for 20 sec and then from that to vinyl for 60sec? Sorry, im not sure if i heard it properly.
Love ur tutorial.
Thank you, yes, apply laminate to vinyl for 20 seconds and sublimation to laminate for 60 seconds, and thank you for watching
Can you also do this with a Cricut mug press?? AWESOME EXPLAINING!! Thanks
I don’t think this would work with a Cricut mug press because the cups are plastic, they would melt, that’s why we sub then wrap the cup, and thank you, and thank your for watching!!
Can you give me some tips ive done them and ur method is great they come out really nice but as soon as soon as I pour coffee it start to creat bubbles what can I do to prevent this ?
Thank you! are u using Oracal 651? And are u using 3 mil or thinner laminate? If yes to both of those, have u tried sealing it?
Hi thanku for answering yes Im using exactly as u recommended on ur video I have even used modge podge spray , modge podge and epoxy and i still get that bubble as soon as we pour coffee
@@heidyespinoza3215 I have not used these for coffee nor have I had anyone mention this specific issue. Lots of bubbling while pressing, but not with hot liquid. Sadly I am not sure what tips to give, when I get time I will make one and try and try coffee in it and see what I can come up with.
Thank you for your video. Man, do you ever remind me of myself. I’m 52 and just starting this as a hobby to help kill some time while I wait for back surgery. COVID has messed up the surgery schedule here in Saskatchewan. Anyway, I really liked your video. I watched every second of it learning and laughed a few times Re: Chipmunks. Keep up the great work. What I was originally looking for though was an answer to …. Can a person sublimate on any ceramic mug or is it a special kind of mug ? But thx to your video, I learned a new way as well.
Cheers
Mike, thanks for watching and the kind words, yes sir, never woulda thought I woulda been I got this kinda thing a few years ago lol, never the less I’m enjoying it. That sucks about your back, good luck getting it fixed up, hopefully things get better there and everywhere soon. As for the mugs, they have to be coated with a coating, u can buy stuff to do it yourself, which I have tried, but find it easier to just order the sublimatable mugs, less hassle in having to apply a coat perfectly for the sub to come out right! U can generally find the mugs with coating already for between $1 to 1.50 usd.
Thanks for sharing! Do you have a video tutorial for the color changing ones?
Thanks for watching, I do not, I have not even got to try one, but as soon as I get some in I will definitely do a video
Is the cup microwavable if so. Can you still microwave with the sticker made for the cup?
No, unfortunately these are plastic cups, not microwaveable and with the added vinyl would not be dishwasher safe either
Wow that’s amazing but I’m still confused. Lol so you can heat press vinyl?
I think the only reason the vinyl holds up under the heat press is the laminate, if any vinyl is not covered by laminate it melts, but u can heat press vinyl under glass too, see my other video on this channel doing the cutting boards with vinyl and dollar tree cutting boards, that uses no laminate and u sub directly to the oracal 651
chipmunk fast forward makes me smile
Lol, I’m glad my humor worked for someone!
@@TouchofClassCreations laughter is the best medicine in life
@@Kimberlymogan I strongly agree!!

Hey MikaMika
@@PRISSIEBURTN1212 Hey boo
wOW. Can I do this same technique for coffee mug from dollar tree?
I have never tried with a coffee mug, I don’t know that the laminate would stick, would probably just be better off sublimating coffee mugs, but in theory I don’t see why you couldn’t do this on a coffee mug
When I load the template for the coffee cup its not the right size. What are the measurements for them to be right? Thank you so much I enjoy your videos.
Hey Renee, thank you for watching and supporting us! Your .zip file has a .txt file in it with the correct measurements to set your template up. If you cannot locate it, contact me via your Etsy order and I will give the measurements
Thank you!
Your welcome! Thank you for watching!!
How do you get them to stay on the cups. I tried what you did but they peel off around the edges.
The best way I have found to keep them from peeling is hand wash and not leave sitting in sink or liquid for any period of time, these are best used for like kids parties and things of that nature in my opinion
Thanks for the video, Awsome! Can you tell me the brand(s) of your pressing machines (shirts and mugs) how much you paid aprox for them?
Yes my heat press for shirts is a heat press nation signature series 15x15 swing away with the sure pressure system, and mugs I have a mug press that can with my first heat press I ever ordered but it was a no name Amazon special 12x15 6 in one or 8 in one
Thank you for the video. I have a question.... I am looking into doing Sublimation- Is there a specific ink or printer needed?
Thank you for watching! Yes sublimation requires sublimation ink, and a printer designated specifically for sublimation. You can buy a sublimation printer from person or sawgrass already set up for sublimation, or buy an epson eco-tank and convert it for sublimation. For conversion ideas check-out Facebook group Sublimation Cove, or CZcams, I will have a recommendations page coming soon with links to various different machines and supplies I myself specifically use and can vouch for, in the meantime let me know if I can answer anymore questions and check out the ones I listed
I'm still having some bubbles. Ive adjusted my heat and pressure but, could this be a material issue? Im using starcraft but same laminate as u. Ive never had any trouble out of SC but...this is a whole new world for me.
It could be, I have never tried SC, I do get some small bubbling on occasion, if u light squeegee as soon as u lift the press that may help
Its been 3 months. How is the cup holding up. I love this idea.
I gave the cup to a friend as a gift and it’s still doing good. As long as u gentle wash they are good. Thank u for watching
Can this template be used on a Cricut Explorer 2 and how do you make the image bend and fit into the template ?
Yes it can, although it is a little tougher with cricut than silhouette, I made another video to show other ways to set up your image in silhouette if drag and drop doesn’t work, the ideas here can be done in cricut as well, like pattern fill for example. Check this out and see if it helps. czcams.com/video/B6pPLnV_4uc/video.html
How do we use this template in Design Space? Purchase it but can’t get my image to fit the dimensions of the template with the curve etc
So if you open the svg file ( chrome/edge html file) it should open to correct size. You probably have to rotate your template 90 degrees once u set up your image, and I believe it is too big for cricut to do print and cut, but u can print the template and cut by hand, which isn’t too tough as it is a easy design, if u still continue to have problems contact me through Etsy and I can send some screen shots to further explain.
Would you get the same result if you just sprayed the coffee cup with something first and sublimated?
You would have to have some type of poly based spray for the sublimation ink to adhere to, so I’d imagine if they make a spray it would be easier, but being these are plastic cups I don’t know how you would sub the image to the cup if you had a spray, highly doubt these would hold up to a mug press. And there are surely easier, and probably better methods of doing this, this is just one way I found to do it and shared the info and technique. It’s a nice way to spice up a dollar tree cup and a cheap way to practice subbing and wrapping cups
I tried this and my laminate is not adhering to the vinyl. Pressing the laminate for 20secs at 400F then the sub print for 60secs. Any idea why the laminated print is not sticking???
My first guess would be it’s thicker than 3 mil laminate. My wife brought some home from work, I know it was thicker than 3 mil because I’ve only used 3 mil thickness, and it wouldn’t stick at all, would peel from vinyl before I could finish wrapping it. Went back to 3 mil and no problems. So seems like same issue
Exceptional video! Why did you choose the Cameo over the Cricut? You have both machines. Just curious. I have the Cricut already and was wondering do I need a Cameo.
I use the cameo because it was the first machine we got and my wife didn’t understand the software, so I learned cameo and then we ended up getting the Cricut for her. Now the one I used is a 4 that has the 15” cut width, so it does cut a little wider, but I used the cameo 3 for the longest and prefer the silhouette software over the Cricut, really the machines will cut the same stuff minus the width, but Cricut software is a bit more restrictive in certain ways, if anything I see a lot of Cricut users using silhouette software for design and setup and then just transfer to Cricut to cut? But if u have no problems with Cricut then it may not matter to you
You can remove the wording with fingernail polish removal

im kinda new but i never bought a template before. I bought yours but when i open the jpg in silhoutte it opens way to big and when i click on the file template one it acts like its opening but it never does anything Am i missing something? Im also new to silhoutte studio cause ive been using cricut but i like this studio program better
Hey there, for the template if your using silhouette studio, then open the file that ends with.studio3 file, it was made in silhouette and will open to exact size. And make sure your studio program is up to date. Make sure you have unzipped the file as well before trying to open it. Also for quicker response with help on the template, if you contact me through the Etsy store where you bought the template it is a direct message system, so I respond quicker and can send pics if need. Thank you for watching and supporting!!
I just purchased the template but when I drag the photo over it doesnt adjust it to fit into the template. Any suggestions?
If your using silhouette u have to drag the image in from outside the program, if using cricut drag and drop isn’t supported. Here is a video to give u examples of ways to set up your image
czcams.com/video/B6pPLnV_4uc/video.html
Great explanation.
Thank you
Did you create the template in silhouette?
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Yes Shelly I created the template in Silhouette
hi Jeremy....excellent video, i purchased the cameo 4 recently and i love using it, im about to order the sg500 printer and look forward to replicating some of your projects. have subscribed and look forward to your next video. stay well my friend Tony UK ;-)

Can we adjust the picture once we drag it over
Yes, in silhouette u can adjust the image, I go more into detail in this video here and explain that czcams.com/video/B6pPLnV_4uc/video.html
I wonder if you can sub on glossy oracle 651 and skip the laminate? Have you tried? I have a ton of 651 glossy I wonder if that could be laminated also? Or if you could even skip the laminate and sub straight on it...
U can sub to oracal matte and glossy, I’ve only done it for cutting boards where the sub goes through the front and looks faded but looks vivid on the sticky side, maybe less time and will look vibrant on the non-sticky side. But the image holds really nice in the laminate which is the main reason for the laminate, other than cutting boards I haven’t tried subbing on the straight vinyl, but if u watch the cutting board video I made or any out there and see subbing to vinyl
I’m getting bubbles after pressing the vinyl and laminate together. What am I doing wrong?
Could be a couple of different things… make sure u have .3 laminate or thinner, and check your press is not heating hotter than what it says, too many bubbles usually means too much heat, u can also try to squeegee a little after u first lift the press, that can help if your not getting too many bubbles, start there, also check this comments , lots of good advice from others here too
Thank you
Your welcome!!
Thanks for a great tutorial. Hand washing suggested?
Your welcome and thank you!! Yes, I would recommend hand washing. If you liked the video subscribe to the channel, I will be dropping a new tutorial tomorrow and try to do at least one each week.
