 This week. We're gonna sublimate a bunch of things. We have some flags some Popsocket some coasters metal coasters metal plates, and we're gonna show you how we did it right in it Well, we didn't do it yet Right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do a builder to make it so do we and we have a new video Each week this week. We're live. We're actually this is live like right now Yeah for 2022 we thought we'd try something different and we thought we would go live For our video this Friday. I'm gonna see how it goes Might be a little bit bumpy But I'm a little bit nervous about the streaming thing. I just finished it like Five minutes ago. So we have a whole new setup behind you you guys can't see it But we have a new table. We have multiple camera angles and I wonder if you guys can see it I'll figure out how you can see it here. It's gonna get it, right? So just know today's stream might be a little bit bumpy, but we're gonna yeah, I really like them to see you like Who's working the show back there? They look very enthusiastic. Oh now they look We have Tanner and Courtney with us I know you guys have heard us use their names. They're our oldest children And so they're here working our live stream with us today and We know Let's see. Well before I get into it court. Do we have anyone who's joined us? Oh Yes, there's an Arctic front coming in we're gonna get it's gonna be 17 for us and that's pretty cold here in Virginia But I did see that Minnesota was like way negative so negative 24. I'm gonna feel real bad about this next comment I was gonna be like man. It's getting hot in this Studio like it got hot real quick So Is we're right next to a t-shirt company who's got his heater like right up against this wall He's got one of those giant. I don't even know if you guys know a giant rolling pizza oven or like yes Yes, like the grill at Burger King. Yes, it's huge and it just puts off tons of heat They don't even put their garage door down. They leave it open because it's so hot in there And it radiates through this wall here and we're in like a closed room right here So it's no windows. It's really cozy in here until you're like in the lights and under pressure right now And then it's really hot in here real cozy But negative 24 is insane like can you throw things up in the air and it does it freeze at negative 24? Well, you're from you know, Michigan up there. You don't remember. I don't remember. It was a long time ago I wasn't very experimental with freezing things in probably wasn't negative 24 either. Yeah, probably not No, no, thank you Oh sick Actually sick Well, I hope you get better quick. I hope you got a cold because it's too cold to go outside Yeah, I'm saying so what are we actually doing today Kim? Thanks So we can go ahead and get this thing started now. I think we've got that we've left enough time Hopefully folks have joined us. Um, yeah Courtney shaking her head. Yeah All right. Well today Since it's the first video of 2022. We thought we'd be happy new year We thought we'd do a sublimation video for you guys today Because we know that probably a lot of people got these sublimation printers for Christmas And I joked with Garrett. I was like, how do I know they got them for Christmas? Yeah, she's been telling his joke all week Because my friend tried to get one probably mid-December and she said I can't find that printer anywhere It's sold out everywhere. So she came and used it. Yes Well after I showed her no, it was actually after after I showed her how great sublimation is She went out to go buy one for herself for Christmas and couldn't find one anywhere They weren't on Amazon. She couldn't find it on Amazon. She couldn't find any of the local stores I think she looked at staples and office mats and everything. So I know printing estate Is it because people have been working at home and need a printer or is it because this is easy to convert? Oh, no, it's because this Epson printer is easy to sublimate with so I think I think a lot of people got a Sublimation printer for Christmas and I thought this would be a fun easy lie for us a you know, I was wondering what you were going to say that's it. I'm out going down here I'm going downstairs. I'm going downstairs So I thought instead of doing the typical tumblers are the t-shirts, which I love But I'm sure if you got yourself a sublimation printer those were the first things you tried We thought we'd do a couple of things that you might not see every day and sublimate on those today And then hopefully you guys this is an opportunity for you to interact and ask questions Why just mess up live? There's a good chance. I burn myself. Yeah, there is a good chance. There is yeah We're working with the metal and I always burn myself with the metal and I'm impatient So we have a couple of these sublimation. Oh, oh, we got a question in the back Yeah, there's already a question I mean says which printer specifically Oh, we have the epson eek here. I'll hold it up. Oh, well, I was gonna. Yep. Let me move with dance over here. Yeah This one is what we got epson eco tank 2760. Is that what it says? 2760 2760 it's an ET 2760 now, this is your entry-level printer. We're like I think I shared once before I'm hoping to get a new one I want to beef it up. Yeah, it was bigger and better But to start with sublimation this thing works Fabulously, it's it's been great and it's a great little printer and it's super that might be because we don't know any better Yeah, maybe it works great for us She has a sawgrass Yes, Kim, that's what I'm looking to get Yes, but if you want to it, this is a easy entry point into sublimation. What was this thing less than 200? I think it was about 200. I think I don't remember. That's how inexpensive it was It's not too bad to get in and start trying out sublimation create your own t-shirts do your own tumblers But what I was gonna say we have a couple of things that we've never tried sublimating on so guess what? We're gonna do it live. Yeah, everyone see what we can do We got these masks We actually got these masks last year Yeah, and they've been in a box and when I moved they unearthed themselves and I was like, oh cool We can do some masks and then so much stuff that we found that we didn't know we had What during the move or forgotten What happens is we clean up and I will put everything in a cubby and hide everything well It happens that she's like ooh this is on sale. I could use this for a project, but I don't know what it is yet So there's stacks and boxes I'm a minimalist Well, I only collect bikes. I think most of us crafters Daily crafters daily daily crafter Will go and grab if you see something you got to grab it when you see it. I got yeah, I get it I have this pack of garden flags. I thought we could try these. I haven't tried it this garden flag yet this printer obviously Will not sublimate on this garden flag. It will only do eight and a half by eleven So we're gonna print out a couple of sheets and we're gonna piece this piece meal This image together and sublimate on this flag Oh Yeah, 11 will work Work barely. You don't want it to go over the edge. Yes, I do you do I want to cover like the whole thing, but I don't I don't think that's what we're gonna do today Oh, I think that was like 20 bucks. I got it on eBay. I'll put all the links. I Should have done that before I guess Yeah, well They're in the prior video the video for this thing the links are there again, I think they're like 20 bucks on eBay Oh, you think so, I mean, I mean, it'll be a used printer, but if somebody had one before I Could easily do that. It's good idea. Yeah, here you go Here's a used printer. What else do we have over here that I was gonna sublimate on? I didn't really sit on it. It was just the thumbnail just like, you know We were gonna do I have these metal these metal coasters I don't know if they're coasters or just metal plates We use these in a photo display thing So I thought we could sublimate something easy on these show you guys these I have a pop socket That I'm not sure is sublimateable, but we're gonna try it today Court's eyes perked up for that. We're gonna get it from and we're to come from Wait, I think the little discs that go over it are the sublimation pieces. Yeah, I think you can pop that off Oh that pops off. Mm-hmm, and then you can pick up that pack Garrett one day I get this delivery in and he has this whole pack of aprons So we've got these cute little aprons That we could use like at a workshop or something and sublimate on these two. Wait, is that the same one as this? Yes Oh, I guess it is. Yes, I pulled it out of that stack. Oh, you did I'm taking another one. All right, and they got these little cute little pockets on them Yeah I guess I would I never throw a piece of wood away if it's over a foot Keeping it. I don't know why I might have to build a raft one day and be like, ah, I'm a foot short All right, what do we want to start with? Yeah, it worked himself out of the shot things away All right, so we do not have any of these images pre-printed so I'm gonna go ahead and start printing a couple of things Do you want to do the flag you want to start with the flag? It's kind of a I want to start with the hardest one first. Well, I want to start with a mask I don't know how you know what In a second, I don't think so I'll do a side-by-side live Yeah, well Yes, you can we converted another another epson like a 1430 It was a little more kit that has a special tank that goes in there and has It's how does it go continuous Injection sublimation system. I might have got that right And so you can convert a regular printer and I'm not sure every printer But I do know that we did convert another printer with the continuous ink system that was separate ink system But it was a little bit. It was a little bit cumbersome to keep that cord hanging We had to flush it out and clean the heads before we converted it it was a lot to convert it after we used it Yeah, the great thing about these eco tanks is that if you buy it new and make it your sublimation printer new Yeah, all you have to do is open your ink tank here. Let me show you guys Let's see. I can't remember offhand how to get this open. Yeah, there you go. That's it So these tanks are empty and you'll just fill the ink right in there Oh, we won't we'll see we'll see how it goes. I'm I want it out now Candice Yeah, smash that like button ring that bell and all the other things youtubers say Here today, we're doing sublimation live here in a minute. I'll jump over Look, I got it. I got the setup, but I can't figure out how to show her laptop live. So Whoa What I do I don't know about GM it I Don't know that I've ever had a jam. Of course. We have a jam right now It's because you're getting all crazy with it with the showing it off and Flipping it up. Give them a peek under the hood. I think you gotta close that. I can't reach. I got it I got it. Go ahead. Look at the camera Whoa nine by 13 that's better. I like that Little bit bigger Yeah, hold it still all right Jammed piece of paper So peanut butter sandwich, nope, it's just a piece of paper This is an error message Yeah, well, do you want me to show them what you're doing here? Wait, what do you what are you doing here? Oh, I didn't lag Nope, I was gonna start with a mask. Oh, what are we doing on the mask? We're gonna do this St. Patrick's Day brush stroke brush stroke How big is that? It is I forgot now I do remember looking at it. It's like four by seven Well, where is this show on the face? Yes I want like 12 by 24 That's it I'm so glad you like your glow forge. I love my glow forge I want to try it. I got a bag of things that I want to try it engraving on I Have a clipboard. Oh, he did he grabbed I went shopping at the dollar store And I want to get some of those little candy hearts and I want to shave off the sayings that are on them and engrave My own sayings. Oh, this is super tiny. I know Challenge accepted Yeah, I don't know. I wanted to say cool things on them. Oh, I bet you wonder if I could cut candy hearts All right, I'm not doing anything at the moment because now in a print My printer is offline. Of course. Oh It's still thinking you want me to go over there and do what you're doing here. Yes. What are you? What are you doing here? How big is that? This is eight eight and a half. I Just want it big enough to cover this so I just have it. I think right now It's eight by eight and what program are you using here? 13 by 19. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, our 1430 did but it got clogged I thought about doing a live with the glow forge, but it gets a little loud and I don't know And sometimes it takes a little while So it'd be like I have to tap dance for like 20 minutes on a cut All right, so let me just tell you what I'm doing here on the laptop So I've opened up Microsoft Excel Excel Trick little trick for you and I'm gonna insert an image. So I'm just gonna go Here, I'll go do it over there where you do that. Okay. What image are you doing? Well, you don't have it. I'll just do any image. I'll do my own image. Okay All right, I'm gonna hold on. Can I keep moving and tell you what I'm doing while I'm doing it All right, here you go. I'll show you and I'll do it over here I'm gonna use word. Oh No, I'm gonna use Excel. I'm gonna do some good DMX wallpaper Can you guys still hear us Yeah Candice Wynville says the beauty of alive. Yeah, beauty of a lot. All right, I'm gonna use Excel also We have an ASAP Yes Definitely good discount on during this live stream Yeah, so you guys can go to a sub Um, do we know their website right off hand? I don't have it in front of me Great and use make it 12 to get 12 off of your a sub paper This is what we're using this a sub paper I put that in our epsom eco tank 2760 and I imported an image. This is for st. Patrick's Day And then I thought we could put this on our Sublimatable masks. I think we ordered these off of amazon. Didn't we Garrett? Yeah All right, are we showing your desktop or are we showing yeah, I'm doing what you're doing, but Oh, you could Yeah, you're in a square So like I said dance All right, so Can I go ahead and start sublimating while he's doing that? Okay, so your code is make it 12 for 12 person off for ASAP paper And I think the link is koala gp.com Hey, you want to tell them why we are using excel? Yes Sorry, that's going to be loud All right, so we have our image printed on our epsom 2760. We're using Our ASAP paper. You can use our code make it 12 from koala. What was that website? koala go Courtney Sorry, it's koala jp. I think or gp koala gp.com. Yep And you can get And so the one we have It just says 125 grams ASAP sublimation paper And then while garret's showing you how to do this in excel. We're doing this in excel because excel will automatically Slice slice your image and put it on two sheets here. So this was a little bit wider than Eight a half by 11 and then automatically Put it on multiple sheets and then all we have to do is trim it tape it together And put it down. So we're going to do this technique for the flag But for now I can go ahead. This will be large enough to sublimate on the mask. So I am going to put our masks down On our heat pad here. We're using the cricket easy press and then I'm putting a piece of Butcher paper down first so that Those sublimation ink from our mat gets onto our Onto our material here. I'm going to do a quick pre press I'm going to put a piece of butcher paper over that Again for the same reason in case there's any ink on our easy press Yes, we do and we do that quite a bit So Kim's always taking custom orders sometimes Garrett's like seriously right now. We don't even have time Ah Dropped my tray So these masks actually have a cotton pocket For the inside so that you could put a filter on the inside or additional I don't know linings on the inside So I know I'm not going to sublimate on this side because I can feel that this side Is like more of a cotton fabric, but the outside is more of a sublimation fabric Now I'm a little worried about these wrinkles in it. I got you What do you what you got? I'm going to make so like a little pouch to put oh, okay, great Somebody wants to have the pink butcher paper. It's any better than the white butcher paper. I don't know. It smells funny I don't know that it's any better. It's just what Garrett ordered and I don't think I knew that it was pink when it came in Oh, I knew it was pink when it came in I just thought it would be It's just a butcher paper that we purchased and it's worked I wasn't even sure that it would be okay when I first started using it But it's been fine. All right. How about this? I'll hold the paper down to you until you put the thing down Don't burn my fingers Okay, be careful with pressing on the tape on the seams because it will be lighter under the tape Hold on. That is a good tip. We learned that A couple of like over the summer we put some tape on a t-shirt and you could totally see Um The heat pressed tape the heat wasn't getting through the tape Um as quickly as it was getting through the butcher paper So where the tape was it didn't sublimate as well What what do we got going here? All right go put it on there Do you want me to This is so professional So you just want me to lay this here Okay All right, go Tanner. Do you have the overhead for you going? All right, don't burn me. Don't burn me. All right. Just let go. Just let go. Well, see Well, what are you doing? It's not even close I told you guys there's going to be some bumpy bumpy roads here All right So and get that he might get burned. Look at this. Look at this heat press right now This is the fiasco. All right. Here's what you got to do. You got to start with the top It lay lay the top piece down How about I add some tape on there? How are you going to tape it? What are you going to tape it to? I'm going to tape it to this paper How? But if you save it to the paper when I let go is the paper is not going to hold it down Look, let's just go in. I'm telling you We're going Roll it down And we're in all right. How long? 45 seconds All right, so what Garrett did because the mask is Um, I don't know at an arch. Yes kind of like a pocket He tried to put in something fabric up underneath to make sure it didn't have any wrinkles in it and then Then it was bulged so he laid the heat press on top of it rolled it onto it So I don't we'll see if it works. We'll see how this works. Otherwise, we'll just lay it flat and try again I think it'll look all wrinkly and weird if you lay it flat. You gotta you need like a uh, I don't know like you pull it out somehow I don't know hold on Tiger army says I feel your pain alignment can be difficult And scott asked if you guys have ever sublimated on formats from hd No, no, no. Yes. We're ready. All right already I came out awesome Oh, that's hot Straight up and 400 degrees and put it on his face. Cool. They have a forbidding Doesn't match my outfit It does It's pretty like it just came out of the dryer. It's pretty good I mean the sublimation is beautiful you the placement may may need a little work I gotta wait Oh, yeah, we don't have a press pillow. What can I use instead of a press pillow? Well, maybe it's a T-shirt What's that? You put it on? Yeah Looks okay. It looks like it was meant to fade off at the end It does I meant to do that I think actually let's just do it one more time We'll have to print it without the press pillow that the make shift press pillow And see what we can get. I think let's take this down here and here and maybe we can stretch it out a little bit Let's try that. That's a totally good idea Scott Scott said you should really try the door mats. I saw a lot of those Oh, really? Door mats, huh? All right, can you cut this for me? Yeah sublimated on door mats That's what he said. Yeah Yeah, I heard that I was Saying it with disbelief didn't I come across? Yes With door mats Cindy says check under your heat press. You didn't use the car paper The Looks good. Thank you. That's a good point. He didn't add it. You didn't add this on top. You just went I was in a hurry, babe It felt like indiana jones And I had to swap the the idol for the sand For the bag of whatever stones. Oh my gosh. Now. I can't get my tape open karma No, let me oh, I think I think that's going to be hot. No, no, no. Yeah, just it's good. It's good here I'll just rub it around. Yeah, I can get a new piece of paper. There you go Ooh, what if I I clean it like this I Oh, great idea. We don't have a hat press anymore. I got rid of the hat press, but we have uh Something coming with heat press nation That we could possibly get one Scott says yes, they are $13 mats the gray and black one 100 polyester hand weather for Really Yeah, we totally should do that Now I'm totally gonna I'm totally doing see it as well. I don't know if at all Do you need like a piece of cardboard? But now when I let go it's just gonna crimp it up Right You know that, right? No It's pretty good. That's pretty good. I don't know if it's any different Well, we'll see. Let's give it a try get it over here. I say we scrap the masks move on Well, all right, I'm gonna come back if we're done if we have time at the end, which I doubt I'll try it again later, but I think this this will work She's like, we'll try it again later as she's continuing Wait, you already got a tape down now. She's not What's 45 seconds she quit like right at the end It's like we were running a mile And at nine tenths of a mile she's like I'm out Scott, some whole message you had but I love one Yes, okay. Thank you Thanks, Scott Wait now you're back in You just called me quitter Right I'm moving too much What's happening with the burner? Did you print something? Yes So are you gonna take? Oh good. Oh, yeah, I'm glad Good news. Good news I think it exists a little bit more tape. More tape But then you got a tape And but then you got to tape the image down. How do you tape the Spencer guys? I don't have one I don't have a tape to Spencer. I don't know actually All right, it's been 30 minutes so 15 minutes is the last time you'll visit everybody. Yep 30 minutes and we got We got one done Give me the spiel Kim. I'll lean on it Today for the first video of 2022 we're going live and we're going to do a little sublimation for you guys We did to talk about how long we should make this video Should it be 20 minutes and go it's like, you know what it's going to be whatever it takes It's going to be whatever it is So this is going to be a little longer than normal. Uh, and we thought we'd sublimate on non-standard items I know when you get a sublimation printer the first things I wanted to do were t-shirts and tumblers Which we've done and we'll do again But for today, we're looking to do some masks a pop socket Uh an apron What else did I have? Oh in a garden flag. Oh and I have this thing And this that's a metal plate. Yeah, that one's for me All right, let's see how we did. Oh, let's compare. Okay, good Can't get it. It's hot Man, that looks good. Yeah, that looks a lot better. It turned out perfectly Okay, Kim's method worked a little a little bit better. We'll show you All right, I get the timing you can barely tell it just worked a little bit. Let me see. Let me there we go Oh, let me see Tiger army says the hd doormats are great. Wife does them. We have one with a mining monty python. Holy grail questions Oh cute. Hey, what happened there? see tape sloppy Yeah, but look at that. I mean look at that image that turned out perfectly look at that image It fades off it fades off at the edge I thought it would be great for st. Patrick's day. All right, let's move on And this is why you don't reuse your butcher paper. You see how I sublimate it on this paper a little bit That's the butcher paper Oh, hey, let me turn it around then Let's show the good one then put that one up the good one is up there And the cover sheet also has ink on it. So you want to replace this every time And you don't want and you want to make sure you use that but your paper we didn't because you don't want it on your heat press Our top patrons get all of our designs I just dropped like I don't even know how many designs whatever I had ready the other day I heard a lot of paper Hold on don't I gotta do it again. I gotta need one more. I need one more. Oh, hey What was the butcher's name on uh, all right, I'm out What was the butcher's name on um? What's that show with all the kids? There's three boys and three girls Brady bunch Brady bunch. What was that guy's name? He was sweet on he was sweet on Alice. Oh, yeah, Sam. All right. Here we go. Give me a pre-press Yeah, a little trade little trade scott. I love it. That's what I like to do. I like to provide value Let's see. I have you let me go do it over there. Oh, you only have it over here Oh Kim was on it. You know that was her jam right there. How big you gotta make it? She'll try to get it closer to the mic next time Oops, I forgot this was on here Did I burn it? I think I burned it I forgot I uh, I forgot I was pressing it. This is why I don't cook. I forget The easy press I I'll tell you that's why I don't cook. I forget I'm cooking and I walk away. Well, here's what happens. I'm like, oh I almost did it again I'm like, oh, I forgot something or you know what I could do. Well, this is cooking I've told you guys I'll be right back Garrett and his add. So I think most of you know Um, Garrett, I opened this out right cell and now I can't find my image size thing. Where am I? Where am I? Picture format go to picture format. Oh, thank you. You're welcome All right, it's all pressed Waiting for the image just waiting on that image. All right. I have inserted my image into excel I'm sizing it to Seven inches wide. Wait. What's this going on? Why only seven inches wide? Wide Let's see because I want to print it But width right now is height. Oh, I need to rotate it I need to make sure it's vertical And now I will make it Um eight inches wide and then you just want it in the middle. It's just coming in the middle Wait What are you doing? That won't come out on two sheets though. That's just one sheet. That's smaller than uh Oh Oh, yeah, somebody said how's the new space? Love the outline. What are you trying to do and then I'll get it done real quick I'm just trying to print two sheets two sheets horizontally. I'm just All right, so we're gonna we're gonna rip here. Can you guys see this? Good to do all right next time we'll make sure that we can display my desk Rotate it 90 degrees and then the width is now the height. So How and the height is the width? How wide do you want it? Um, this yeah, this is seven. We want it seven and a half and then we want now total in total Oh 17, but remember that's going to take a third sheet. So just do 16 61 Oh, that is a great tip Yes, because there have been multiple occasions where we leave a little brush sitting out and realize Oh, it was under a paper plate All right, hello guys, thank you for joining us Thank you for your patience I had this figured out last night and just a minute ago when I jammed the Eco tank I had to restart excel for it to acknowledge the printer again. Well, this image isn't The same as the thing. I'll just I'll just print whatever we got here we go. We'll see what we have. Yeah, let's just see what we got I just want to show you the garden flag. It doesn't have to be perfect. I can play with it later You're making a garden flag. Yeah No, it's a garden flag to go out front taken down but carrot just burnt this one. So But we have lots of them so we can give this a go A couple of times All right, I should have sliced it in the tube, but I don't think this image Really fits this flag. Are they supposed to be garden flag images? You down? Yeah. Yeah, this is a garden flag image Because that's 10 by 10 Well, it looks squatty. Can I just stretch it? Did it get squat? Did you this is to see how it came in? Thank you, London. Yes While we get this figured out because I don't know what I did Let's see how excel is automatically doing the slicing for us. We didn't have to change the image. It's automatically printing in on multiple pages Yes So these are the things that Garrett was working on yesterday instead of us getting our images together, I guess Yeah, instead of doing that. I was trying to get the camera ready Yeah, well we have such a great setup we can do Well, you can't see my desktop this time At least you can see an overhead. We can switch camera angles. We're very excited about it Yeah, I do I do in the camera angle thing Stupid Miller's middle schoolers we have a middle schooler Hahaha All right We have not done but we could Behead a littler one All right while we're waiting for the next sheet to tape you want to go ahead and put this to you on trim the edge Ken Says we should do a tutorial on the excel process Yes Yes Scott the idea was to actually show that part Yeah, I'll show mine here in a moment I have one that I want to well it didn't really happen. See she downloaded the images to her computer But mine's the one that's hooked up to video I didn't catch that yesterday So Lesson learned But I will show you what I'm doing. She tried to explain it A moment ago, uh, I will share that I did so some great places to get some Images we use design bundles a lot and we use Um, where else creative market We use those guys do we had to is that the one that you had trouble with? No, that was somebody else Yes, actually some of these flag images did come from Etsy. So good call All the time All right, so we've got our image in three pieces here. I'm going to tape it together with our heat tape And then we're going to sublimate it onto our flag Yeah, start prepping the heat tape. Thank you Natasha said omg. I'm totally playing this for my middle schoolers. I just laughed so loud. Love you so much Hold on I'm getting it It's tricky To rock or ground I knew it was coming All right Can you roll it and I'll grab it unless you want to tape it down? Oh Well, you're gonna tape it in the front Right here on the sides Yes, actually I've seen them too. That's a good one You don't need such a long piece of tape Okay, he gets wily gets wily. Yeah Ah, thanks for joining us. Thank you What is up a welcome back if you just got here All right, look at this cool flag design. I like it. Great job, babe for Getting it. I'll print it out. Yeah Ooh, how are you gonna, how are you gonna lay the heat down now? She is, uh-huh. Well, it's a little bit on the flag, but I'm gonna pull it up here in just a second I've already pre-pressed my flag. I did I did it Garrett pre-pressed the flag. What are you doing? Stop. Oh, I did the wrong way. Yeah It's coming. It's coming. Candice says if you love K&G, let's light the comments up with hearts Do you want to see if it's all caddy wampas now on the other side? Yeah Wampas says I love creative fabric. All right, I'll be listening to you guys on the way to work. You've really made my day Oh, thanks You can roll that over flip it over. Yeah, I was gonna try to line it up again Not that far. You're too far. You're too far. I know it's about halfway So yeah, this is precision work. So Can't pay attention to the camera Oh, yeah, so we forgot Yeah, so one of the advantages of joining our patreon is once a month for our What is it the five dollar one for everybody they get like one image a month? Everyone gets one image a month But our top tier patrons get all of our images and we just uploaded A ton of valentine's images. I think it was like 10 10 valentines And we're working on I have more coming. We're working on our st. Patrick's day once And spring yeah Kim's always slow down on the valentines All right, we're gonna do this in a two-part press So two-part series 400 degrees 45 seconds. We're gonna do the top half and then come over here and do the bottom half I think we're gonna have to do three halves We're gonna have to do this thing in thirds 150 percent. So if you just joined us That took a minute to get set up. We are sublimating on a garden flag today. We're sublimating on various Uh different materials that aren't your typical materials. We're not doing a t-shirt or a tumbler today. Those are my faves We started with a mask And where's my mask? Is it close by? Oh, I threw it over there. Yeah started with a mask We did this one for st. Patrick's day. Actually, I have another design. It's gonna have these lips on it I think it's gonna be fun. I forgot to tape it down Do you want to hold it while I move it? Yes, I'll hold it. I'll come I'll switch with you I'll wing it and cheddar. No, just slide it or lift it lift it Yes, you do not want to move your image Otherwise it'll leave a ghosting look. So Garrett knows to be gentle I know he's made that mistake more than once Like all the time I'm going to be trying to incorporate craft math in my lessons to justify having my craft I love it craft math Yes, that's right It's easy. It's like this Here's your craft math So if this costs 50 bucks How much is the michael's coupon? Well, that's the coupon. That's your percentage discount. I know My middle grade my middle school or my eighth grader is it was just doing that for some homework And you can do sales price and profits. Yeah See that All right, I'm gonna slide this over go ahead It jostled it We didn't even know now. Let's just give who knows what's under there. No, we have no work flags if this one gets ruined We don't have a stack right behind Yeah, but it was this one This was the flag All right, so after the flag, I'm going to go ahead and prep our next image because I want to try this pop socket pop socket Scott says Garrett when you're at the farmers market people say that's cute But it's a guy piece. Does it drive you crazy? Like it does me eye laser cut military branch ornaments and they say cute Cute that's so cute I just accept it. I don't know I just enjoy talking to whoever walks up He does he loves to chitty chat with people Hold on knocking off my mic So in our new studio here, we had to go with our lavalier mics I don't know if the sound sounds any better or worse than it did before. All right. We're ready. It's different All right, we're going in. Let's do it. Let's see. It's the big reveal. I'm wiggling it. Yes Oh, yeah, that looks great You barely tell you moved it It's straight too. Look at that I think that's cute. What do you think? I could have gone a little further over the edge Yeah, well, it'll be flapping in the wind. Nobody will even notice that it's not as wide Can you tell that it's not as wide now? I can't Tom Yes It's cute we can put our name on there I just didn't take the time to do that today But look how cute that is and you could do some cool things. Those would be good to sell at the farmers market too Especially if you could personalize them All right, can you print on site? We've got people in the comments saying hi to each other like they know each other. If that's fun, you've got a community A community. That's what I love. I love it. All right. What are we doing next? All right, we're gonna do this pop socket Can you cut me off two more pieces of butcher paper because I could see Honestly, I don't think you have the correct piece of the pop socket I want to you don't think so. No, let's open this thing and check it out I think you're missing the metal sublimation piece Oh, you think it has to be metal I bought this to put jewels on it It came with the metal pieces on it Where there are metal pieces with this stuff So what he says so putting the heat press on the spot that you have already done like you're doing in Thirds won't hurt the previous spot. You've done already. Yeah, when I slid it down. It did not seem to affect What was done already? Let's go find the paper It's over It sounds somebody said it gets a little distorted when you get loud and excited but other than that the lavaliers sound good Thank you. Thank you for the feedback. I do appreciate that All right, what are we doing now with the pop socket? I do feel this. You think this isn't gonna work I think there's something that clips over it. We could try it. Let's do it. Do you have your image? Well, this is the clip over piece. I'm just trying to pop it off here No, that's not the clip over piece. The clip over piece is metal Pop socket is for another day. I feel like I'm gonna melt the pop socket You can try it. It says only thing I miss during the lives is Garrett's step one hand with his L.O.L. on the hand black wave Yep, you didn't get that today Oh, I can do it though um Do you have images for these things? Well, I don't have any photos. I was originally gonna I have something. Oh, okay. I can do mine. I want to do two things actually So where's my piece? I mean said nobody said hi to me and everybody said good morning. I mean How big was this? What do you want to know? I don't know what we're doing here. The sub was made on it Actually, we're gonna try doing origami Origami on this uh, metal tape. So let's go eight by 12 like eight by 12. That's thanks like Garrett's headed over to the laptop because I think he's gonna display the desktop over there I'm gonna do my thing Well, it's not bigger than a piece of paper. So That's thanks. What did I say it was? eight by 12 12 Let's do 11 Oh Candice asked if we got uh, we got snow the big store passed them over Oh my gosh. So yes, Candice. I don't know if you This for Virginia local news it was a mess this storm Turned out to be a mess because it rained Prior to turning over to snow and so they couldn't really do much with the roads We are right here that hole 95. I know it made national news Where interstate i-95 was blocked off for 50 miles and people were in their cars for I think it was What was it like 27 hours or something? They were stuck in their cars. Yeah, you said 27 to 30 So that that was right here where we live So we actually had a daughter traveling back from new jersey on a greyhound bus Who made it as far as dc Um, and I think about eight o'clock. They turned around And went they just passed dc turned around went back to dc. She was stranded at union station for A two days. They actually were there that night. That was monday night. They were there all day tuesday and left actually No, they were there all day tuesday Got a bus pass and then came home at 10 o'clock last night or night before last actually they came home on tuesday At 10 p.m. And we picked them up at the bus station here It was a fiasco I had to send her money for a hotel room Such drama That's it. You've just become our therapist Yeah, thanks for letting me Talk it out lay down lay down lay down. Ah, I wasn't gonna put fingerprints on it Somebody said What is sublimation? Oh, what is sublimation? sublimation is Uh Printing it's an ink. It's an ink print. This is ink on paper. This is sublimation paper Which allows the transfer of this ink to your substrate or whatever material that you're uh Sublimating on and then it chemically bonds to that material So when you put this on fabric it chemically bonds to fabric and when you wash it it does not wash out It is there. Uh, it does the same for metal or anything That's that polyester coating. Yes, anything with a polyester coating. So that's how it works on t-shirts and tumblers Oh, that's Stinks Should I go in anyway or should I do it? Go ahead for purposes of this video because we've now been here an hour I don't want to take up too much time Okay All right, well, I'm gonna do something else. Well, this is going then how long do I go on the metal same thing So for the metal the great thing about this a sub paper. I wanted to show you my box has gotten lost in um all the mess we have it comes with this little uh Diagram here this little table and chart for heat settings and so right here on this little chart here It says for metal plates 400 degrees 90 seconds Um We have already tried to estimate how much I think I have spent all the supplies in my craft room But I don't think there should be evidence out there in the universe for my husband to find Right, right. No. Yeah, don't ever to actually do the math And certainly don't say it out loud Oh No, oh, yeah, I heard about their power. Oh last piece of paper awesome Oh, we have a ton more in our little box over here. Hey, what happened to the uh, I had printer paper over here. What do you do with it? It's right here Oh No, no, no Oh, Candice you're close I didn't realize you were so close Uh, you're still looking for your printer paper. Yeah, it was underneath the box sitting right here. Okay, I found it. Great What Yeah, I know where bristo is a foot. Oh, yeah, it's right. Oh 95 was crazy Guys, I'm standing here because I'm looking for the tape. We've made a mess and now This is what happens. You don't keep your craft space organized. You don't clean up between steps It's underneath the easy press It's under here. Uh, yeah There it is Nice. Yes, I was like it is just not here I was about to go back in the stream to see where you guys put it Oh, how long 45 seconds 90 seconds from 90 Whoo All right, do you want me to just go ahead and on this one? Oh, well, yeah I mean says my wife hasn't even allowed in my craft room Oh, awesome. That's the way Well, because Garrett and I what's that? We got to say I enjoy Garrett's company in my craft room No, very good big Good thing. No, I do enjoy doing projects. It's more fun when we do it together That's funny the speckled bloom says I guess we're built for the cold in North Dakota. It is 26 below this morning And it's just a normal Friday 26 below is not a normal day. That's a normal day like for a penguin hanging out in the Antarctic I don't know I couldn't imagine. I mean when it gets below 50, I start to complain. Yes So Garrett who is from up north now cannot handle the cold. He just cannot and he's the he's Worse than I am and now I've lived in Virginia my whole life. And so it doesn't It doesn't get that cold here. And I don't even complain when it does get super cold But he's I have a feeling we'll move south one day I'm ready to go for the snow birds. I have I have slowly made my way south I've gone from That's right Asheville. No, I want to do uh, like uh, savannah Or savannah charleston There you go. See gordy was a girl scout you go girl She took a field trip there when she was younger. Oh, wow, I mean savannah I love it. I love it. What kind of woodworking? What aren't you allowed to see This paper really smells it's like burning my nose smells. It's not that bad That's a good idea Wait, will it be allowed on youtube? All right. Now. This is metal. Do not pick this up. I'm going in from the edge BAM Oh, that looks good. Oh man. I wish you guys could see how awesome that is Look at that Now you guys saw I just pulled this image off the internet threw it in excel Hit print And threw it on the thing. They looked at the ghosting from using your paper London says don't go south. Uh, the humidity is horrible Well, that's yeah, I don't want that either. No, no, no. Don't touch that. Yeah, I got something else to do. Hold on All right, let's put this over there All right on the ground. Here we go. Here's our test. We're testing it out. Okay. I said I would do the test So we have a sub paper And printer paper They don't really look too much different on the print This feels thicker though. We'll see So I'm just gonna put them in the same spot Right going there Was it up top or at the bottom? It doesn't matter. I'm just trying to catch the bike You can bleed. Do you want me to tape it down? No Yeah, it's not metal. All right, if you just joined us we're testing How well sublimation works from copy paper Versus a sublimation paper. Do you do use butcher paper? Yeah, get it better get a clean sheet. I can see that's got ink on it as a test. We're good Should you put the butcher underneath? Oh, thank you. That's what you meant All right, let's try this again. All right Oh, I'm jealous we we have we have plenty of tools, but I want more All right, what'd you do? Oh, it's over here There are things we don't have yet convenience tools. We have the basics for sure Crystal Albert does just want to let you know the ladies craft front was a huge fit The signs turned out great. Thank you. Oh, thanks so much for letting us know. I love to hear that We just got asked yesterday to do a corporate um kind of a A zoom paint party. Yeah zoom paint party with someone's team Totally Absolutely I'm excited about it. I think it's gonna be fun Oh, I forgot to hit that good button Oh, awesome. Have you made anything yet? What have you made? I'm sure it was a t-shirt. Yeah I need it. I need a new rad t-shirt. Oh, hey, I got a question this morning about Does the bleach did the bleach and the uh Sublimation did the bleach eat through the shirt? It did not I still wear it Tanners is a little frazzled at the top I don't know what he does with his shirts. I think it's I think his beard rubs a hole in it Like a helicopter Yeah But my shirt still looks great. I still wear mine. Mine look great. Yeah, no holes I just think you don't want to It's not straight bleach. It was or wasn't straight. Yeah, it was straight bleach And then peroxide to kill the bleach process. That's what it was. So to stop the bleaching Then we washed it in cold after we were all done But yeah, they came out great I mean says his wife is one of those I can't find that tool. I just buy another kind of girl I want that kind of money Like I can't find that bike Nancy says, where do you get that butcher paper? I'm a candle maker and go through a ton I got it on amazon. Yeah I searched butcher paper And this was like the first one that came up. All right, you're ready for the reveal printer paper sublimation plate paper Okay, all right. All right now. So the copy paper did sublimate it worked It it did. Yeah, but I can say that the a sub paper made that image much Well, definitely more vibrant. Yeah and more detail. So if you've switched to the overhead cam Uh, it's these are metal plates. So we cannot pick them up yet But the tire here is more gray looking where this is definitely more black Yeah, I'm kind of surprised. I think in a pinch you could use a Copy paper in a pinch But if you're really looking to sublimate and especially if you want to you want to wow someone I think you go with the sublimation paper if you want to Get the job done get the job done Maybe make someone an employee of the month sign for the uh the parking lot Tanner won't let me make him an employee of the month parking space Oh, he knows who the true employee of the month is Oh It depends on the material. So what I said about this a sub paper it came with this really great chart That is not in the box. No, it's right here. It's right here This came in the box and it has a little table here That said suggested transfer instructions. So it has lots of things listed lots of substrates listed metal plates fiberglass ceramic mugs tiles plaques hardboard glass mouse pads So That's uh and most of them are about 400 degrees anywhere from What is it three minutes? Well, let's go down five minutes 60 seconds looks like 60 seconds up to five minutes Oh, the five that's the tile stuff. Remember we had to do tiles for like six minutes Yeah glass Tiles were six minutes when I tried to do the tiles three times and they just weren't taking that was 18 minutes of my life gone It was just gone. I'll never get that 18 minutes back nor do I have a craft to show for it All right. Well, are we about done? Did you want to do the apron? I don't understand No, we decided that the pop socket was going to melt You want to try it? That's a little hot. We could do it. I wouldn't touch that one yet Yeah, oh, I had no I have an image right here that I printed out ready to go for that's a little big for a pop socket Candace said what court you are employee of the years Years I like it years Oh I'm sorry. I crinkled that like I couldn't not get any closer. I could not get any closer to the uh Oh perfect perfect That was pretty cool looking. Yeah, he'll do something with that. I can see already. He likes that image Yeah, I'm gonna put it in some kind of frame. Oh, I am I'm gonna put it in like a frame To try to cover up those white edges. All right. This is a plastic pop socket We're gonna see if we can sublimate on this. I just so happened to have printed out. Oh a little image right here A little image. It's a giant image a giant image right here. Somebody wants to know where you can get your blanks Well, you can get blanks lots and lots of places What's the necessary criteria they should be looking for what kind of fabric content If you just go on amazon and do sublimation blank do a search for sublimation blanks A ton of stuff will come up and the more you scroll the crazier the stuff gets The bigger the variety for sure You just want to make sure that if you're doing anything with fabric that's got a more than 50 polyester count What happened there? I didn't have enough tape I think that'll do it. That'll do that'll do That'll do pig. That'll do All right. I'm a little nervous about this one. I don't know how long to go in for go for say 45 seconds Yeah, wait. Is there anything under there? It's under there I don't think 45 seconds is where we're at with this. It's going to melt Let's try 15 seconds and see let's do this sniff test when we smell something All right, it's go. Let me see. Let me see. It's 15. All right. It's 20 seconds Somebody or Natasha said I have a bunch of masks to supplement supplement Anyone have any clever sayings or mottos to put on them Uh, well, that's what I was looking for something clever something clever. It's melted Yeah, because I think it was the metal piece that clips onto that And awesome. Turned off great. What are you talking about? Yeah, that just melted Okay, you can get specific sublimation sockets pop sockets, but this one is not it I bought this one for that's the plastic holder for the metal piece Kind of like somebody said earlier what I said Well, I bought it for uh for to put like gemstones on there Um Rhinestones, thank you. She's a rhinestone cowgirl But I haven't I haven't done that yet All right, I think that is all I think we're about out of time. What time is it? I don't even know what time it is. It's 10 15 So it's not too bad. Not too bad. I do appreciate you guys hanging in there with us. I hope you enjoyed it We will make sure I think we we learned a lot from today's live And we'll just be a little more organized next time Yeah, I'll figure out how to hook your laptop up so that we can see it But one of our goals in 2022 is to start going live more often and multiple times through the week So if you miss today's live and you want to join us live Next week, I'm hoping to do What I'm not sure what day yet. Yeah, well definitely another day next week And we want to do some bigger projects And then go live more often the bigger projects will be edited Have some music more bigger builds We want to do some more stuff with wood that takes a little bit longer that we can't do and an afternoon Or a couple of afternoons. So they might take a series. That's more of a series kind of thing We're doing series now. I just mean a series of days. How about that? Oh, okay.
