In this video, we are showing you how to make sublimation stickers. Although in this easy tutorial we chose to print our work on clear and iridescent vinyl and stick them on vases, the same steps will apply to any sublimation vinyl. We also chose vinyl stickers because they are waterproof, transfer beautifully, and you can easily stick them on a variety of surfaces. This is a great way to create custom stickers for your business branding, for great products with your art or for personal use.

Supplies:
Sublimation printer and ink (optional)
Sublimation paper printed with image - make sure to mirror it if there is text
Sublimation vinyl, we used clear and iridescent vinyl
Heat press
Heat Resistant Transfer tape

Instructions:
Apply the printed sublimation paper to the vinyl, face down. Use 2-3 pieces of heat resistant tape to keep paper in place
Place the vinyl on the heat press
We pressed the iridescent stickers for 100 seconds at 170C/320F and the clear stickers for 40 seconds at 180C/356F
Peel off the transfer and admire your work like we did!

Tips:
If you are not cutting the vinyl by hand, use a machine that is compatible with sublimation vinyl
Press the stickers for the correct amount of time and at the correct temperature - check the vinyl manufacturer's instructions
Peel off the transfer tape carefully to avoid damaging the stickers
