About Me and My Sublimation Camp Tutorial
In my tutorial, I sublimated some Placemats that I bought off of Amazon. I made the designs in Silhouette Studio Business Edition software, but printed them using Inkscape (which is a free design software) because I find its printing capability very good to use. If you make sublimation placemats, be sure to mirror your image when printing and print your design slightly larger than what you measure the placemat to be. After printing, I pre-pressed my placemat to remove moisture. I used heat resistant tape to hold my printed design securely to the placemat, and then pressed the placemat at 385 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 seconds. Once pressed, I let them sit for about 15 seconds before removing the paper. These are great projects to personalize placemats for holidays, special occasions, and especially children’s birthday parties. That way, each child can take their very own placemat home.
FREE ITEM AND GIVEAWAY – As part of Sublimation Camp, all who purchase an All Access Pass will receive a free bundle of designs that you can use for Sublimation Placemats for anything else of your choice. I will also be giving away one package of Sublimation Placemats!
