Sublimation is a really fun and useful crafting technique that creates vibrant, full-color objects, such as shirts, mugs, tumblers, signs, and so much more. Today I want to take sublimation a step further and tell you how you can print your own custom sublimation transfers to make more beautiful things for your home décor and family... or even start a small business selling custom sublimation items that everyone has to have!
So now I know you're wondering ... "Jennifer, how does dye sublimation work? What things can I use it for? And what can I put it on? And how do I get started already?" I have answers here in my ultimate guide to getting started with dye sublimation for beginners!
