How to make your own sublimation coasters

Easy Directions for sublimating your ceramic sublimation coasters!

A friend of mine and I always exchange birthday gifts every year because we are both creators of different crafts, and we get geeked about making stuff for each other! This year, I decided on making special ceramic coasters. These were themed about old buildings and places we had in our town but are no longer a thing ( But are core memories for most townies!)  

Of course, I documented so that I could show you a small tutorial on this gift I think it so cool!

Supplies List: 

- Ceramic Coasters They HAVE to be coated with the sublimation coating, i recommend these ones! You can also get smaller packs. 

- Sublimation paper- This is a WONDERFUL brand and can be found in my shop everyday! 

- Lint roller

- Heat Tape

- Butcher Paper - This is the most bang for your buck and you definitely need it in sublimation art!

- I must also suggest this tape dispenser! I LOVE IT! I don't know how I ever got along without it!

1. Prepare the coaster: Use a lint roller to remove any dust or debris from the coaster. 
2. Prepare the design: Use a sublimation printer to create a mirrored print of your design. 
3. Position the design on the coaster: Place the sublimation print face down on the coaster, and align the edges. Use heat-resistant tape to hold the print in place. 
4. Prepare the heat press: Set the heat press to 400° Fahrenheit and set the timer. You can use a white cardstock on the pressing pad.
5. Press the coaster: Place the coaster on the pressing pad with the design facing up and the coaster facing down. Put a piece of butcher paper on top of the coaster. Press for 60–240 seconds, depending on the type of press you're using. 
6. Cool and remove: Allow the coaster to cool for at least 10 minutes. Then, remove the coaster from the press, and peel off the tape, blowout paper, and printed sheet.
