A few months back, I shared a beginner’s series on sublimation. In some cases, I think that sublimation is a better choice than vinyl. For example: When you use sublimation on coffee mugs, the design becomes permanent and won’t wash off – unlike vinyl. (Learn how to do sublimation on mugs here.) Today, I’m sharing a few quick sublimation products that Unisub sent over to me. If you aren’t familiar with Unisub, they are a manufacturer of hard goods for sublimation. Their product line is extensive and includes: wood and metal photo blanks, jewelry blanks, clipboards, tags, puzzles, serving trays, and much more. Unisub doesn’t sell to the public, but you can find distributors at this link.

Quick and Easy Bracelets with Sublimation

I used a Unisub Standard Cuff Bracelet (Unisub Product Number 4636) to create a cuff bracelet. I first designed the image in Silhouette Studio, printed it on my sublimation transfer paper, then used a heat press to transfer the design.

After transferring the image, I used an EZ Bender Tool (Unisub Product Number 4656) to bend the bracelet into a curve.

Wooden Sign Home Decor Without the Mess of Paint

I created a Christmas home decor sign using Unisub ChromaLuxe Natural Wood Print (Unisub Product Number 5882). After designing the image in Silhouette Studio, again, I just printed it onto sublimation transfer paper and applied it with my heat press. (If you missed this cut file on the blog last week, download it here.)

Tween Friendly Clock with Sublimation

We’ve recently been making over Emily’s room as she is headed towards tweendom! I used Unisub Silver Wall Clock (Unisub Product Number 5823) to create a clock. Again, I designed the image in Silhouette Studio. Pick up wall clocks at this link.

Jeannie,

At my wedding, we actually used a double sided ornament with a picture of myself and my fiancee on the front with a cute sunflower border and a verse on the back with the same border for a favor to give to all our wedding guests. With a red ribbon it was so cute and everyone loved it! Now we see them on all our family's and friend's Christmas trees! Hopefully that helps. There are so many things you can do at a wedding, signs, nameplates on the tables. Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating with your son!

Thank you for this opportunity! I'd love to learn more of how to use sublimation for tee shirts, mugs, infant pacifiers,etc. I just finished up "vinyl'ing" a set of pacifiers with vinyl,used a little heat to help "set" the Oracal 651 vinyl,but I'm not impressed as it looks just as if I had thrown stickers onto it and I'm sure they won't last longer than 2 handwashes probably. :( I need sublimation in my life and in my projects but never knew it was possible without thousands of dollars worth of new equipment and supplies! I am definitely going to hop over and look at your other posts about sublimation that I've missed. Thank you!
