 Hi guys, it's Jen from iCrateCrafts and today's video I'm going to be showing you how to create these awesome keychains using sublimation and Keychains they were so easy to create. So let's get started I don't know about you guys, but I am so ready for summer And this is the greatest project that I can start right now before spring even arrives I'm starting in design space I'm gonna go to upload and I'm gonna show you what files I just purchased so I purchased these Beautiful beautiful butterfly keychains on design bundles net So I'm gonna click on each one of these because I want to make one of each And I'm gonna click add to canvas. So when you get these are probably gonna be the wrong size You need to always resize your images to whatever you have. So my keychains are the sublimation ones So I'm gonna show you really quick how to do that. These are very very simple to create You don't have to do anything with this but change the size of the file here that we have So you can see all these really beautiful butterflies here. Like I said, I am so waiting for spring to come So the only thing you have to do with this is actually change the size. So depending on what size your keychain is Mine's a two by two So I'm gonna make my image just a little bit bigger than a two by two and I will show you why after I'm done printing it So I'm gonna go up to this right here. I'm gonna put 2.5 and we're gonna see what that looks like. I just want it just a little bigger than the two So maybe I'll do 2.3 And then click enter. So you see automatically if you don't unlock it it automatically changes it right here So I'm gonna do each one of these to the 2.3 And then again, I will show you why when I'm done printing this out So I'm just gonna go ahead and fast forward this part. So you don't have to watch this Right. So here we are. So a thing I forgot to mention with this So when I uploaded these two design bundles, I made it do it to print then cut You can see right here each one of these are print and cut So it's not going to do anything on your Cricut machine You do not need your Cricut machine for this at all You're just going to cut these out by hand afterwards and I'll show you what I mean by that So this is done. This is like I said, this is all that you have to do But depending on your keychain Mine are actually two-sided. So I'm going to actually duplicate this to make um Double of them. So I'm going to select all of them I'm going to go over here to this little plus sign here and push duplicate So now I have two of each one. So if I wanted to use, you know, this for the front and this for the back And this for the front and this for the back or if I want to do it, you know Each way if I wanted to make this one and then do a separate one for this one You can do it that way as well So I'm going to kind of play around and figure out how I want to do it But depending on your keychain, like I said, mine is double-sided So I'm going to use two of these for each side So I'm going to go ahead and click make it and I'm going to show you what it looks like So for this if you're new to sublimation You need a printer that you changed into a sublimation You need to use different ink on this and you need to use a different kind of paper I will get into all that going forward and I would leave everything in the description below if you are new to this So the only thing I want to do is make myself. I give myself I should say a little bit of room To print out each one of these and again, I will tell you why in just a minute So I'm going to move these and then this I'm going to move this to the next page You can see there's another page right here. So I want to click the three little dots here I'm going to move objects and I'm going to switch it to this page This one right here And then I can move these as well So I'm going to go back to the first page and then move this one Because I want to have a little bit of room on each one and again I will show you why so I'm going to go to the first one again Just give it a little bit of room right here So I can take my scissors and cut in between because like I said, you're not going to use your Cricut for this You're just using it to cut out there print the design So I'm going to go ahead and move these over a little bit more as well And then I'm going to make sure that I go down here and mirror both image Both pages here. So they're both mirrored here If you had text, this would make more sense, but I'm just using you know, I'm mirroring it So I'm just used to doing it. So I'm just going to leave it like that. I'm going to push continue And here's the only thing it's going to do Like I said, you're not using your Cricut machine on this. You just need to send it to your printer So depending on what printer you're using This is what I use here. So I have the Epson. I have a regular printer and I have a sublimation I have a sublimation printer as well. So I'm going to click on that one. I have the Epson Let's see mine is the 2803 and then I just use hippo ink for sublimation But again, I will leave all that in the description below then I'm going to go ahead and click this ad bleed I want to get rid of that. So just like that. So I'm going to click print And then it's going to send it to my printer You're going to hear it in the background and then once it's done printing It's going to come back up again and it's going to ask you to print the next one So you're probably here in the background here. It is printing it out for me All right, so I printed my first one Then I'm going to go down here and I'm going to click on this one and says send to printer I'm going to do the same exact thing and changing my printer here I'm taking off the ad bleed and I'm going to go ahead and print this one as well Then I'm going to set up my camera and show you the next step and why I put These a little bit bigger and also made them stretched out a little bit. So, okay So I'm at my heat press station right now. I'm going to talk about my heat press really quick This is a new one from htv rond. I absolutely love this I have my old one over here But a couple of things on this is I love the pull out drawer on here And I love the features that they have on here. It's very easy to set your temperature and your time on here There's a little timer button here that you can push in a plus and minus and I also love it that it's automatic So I'm going to show you really quick if I close this It's automatically going to go down And if you need to open it, you just push a little r and it will automatically open up for you Really love these things on here that they have So I'm going to show you really quick This is my design. Like I said, I like to move them out a little bit And I like to make them a little bit larger than the image itself What I'm going to do is cut this out and show you. So these are the register lines You want to make sure you get rid of those because any color on here is going to transfer with your heat So here are two because like I said, I don't know if you can see this But there's a bunch of color on here. So I was kind of learning that way And here are my key chains. I just bought these off of amazon These are subbing key chains and they come with the key rings and with the little tassels So you can do those later on afterwards as well And then also has plastic on here, which you want to make sure you peel off first So taking the first one kind of figuring where you want it to go You have to make sure that this is the top here And I just place it right on top and this is the reason I like making it a little bit bigger Is so you can see your image behind it and kind of guesstimate where you want it to go Then I'm going to take a piece of heat tape. So I have this dispenser here I'm going to take a piece of heat tape and kind of go around just to make sure it's going to stay in place You don't have to go nuts with this. It's just for it to stay in place Just like that sometimes I don't even use that and I kind of just lay it flat like I'll show you really quick Not recommending it, but what I do is take it like this hold it really tight And then push it down, but you still have You know the possibility of it moving So it's up to you if you want to do that or not. I kind of just go either way just take it And flip it but again, I highly recommend using the heat tape. Why not right? So there's two there I'm just going to do two more since I have them right here and remember these are going to be uh, both sided so Some of them I don't want them to look the same So I'm just going to take another one And do the same thing just like this put it on there And then I'm just going to flip it and you always want to make sure that your paper is upright So upside right and I'm just going to take one more And put it on here Just like that So I'm just going to do four for now and then I'm going to take a piece of teflon paper that I have here That comes with the machine I'm going to lay it over it very carefully because I only taped that one So again, I don't recommend that I recommend taping each one But for this I'm just not going to so all I have to do is close this And it's going to automatically work for me. It's going to press it for me at their, uh, right Pressure and then I have my time and my Uh temperature set so I just have to wait for it to be finished when it's done It'll just load up I'll load itself and lift up and then I can show you what it looks like So I didn't get it in time, but I actually did push the button to or I didn't get it in time It would actually finish and it lifted up So I'm going to show you what this looks like I want to be very careful because this is very hot I highly recommend getting a pair of heat gloves like these because especially for this project They are going to be extremely hot So I'm going to go ahead and take it off You can see here's the paper and it has a little bit of color on the edge That's where your keychain did not hit that edge. So here is the first one here I'm going to leave it there and I'll show you the next one. So again, you want to toss that paper And here's the next one And then here's the one where I taped it. So I'm going to show you what that looks like Just want to be very careful To pull that off. So that's that one And then the last one here. Whoops. So here I'm going to show you Don't do what I did because sometimes this happens. So this Is kind of neat that way. I think if it shows up So you can see there's ghosting on here But I actually kind of like that because I used the tape I did not use the tape and I used the Teflon paper over it. So this is what happened. That is called ghosting But for this I actually kind of like how it looks. So I'm going to leave it the way that one So now you want to do the backside. You're going to do the same exact thing. You're going to take your image Which I have here and they're going to do the same thing Like I said, if you want to have the same image on the same keychain you go right for it I like to switch them up a little bit. So I'm just going to use a different one here But now you want to have your image looking at you While you put your paper on the back Oh, that's still hot. So now I'm going to take a piece of The tape since I learned my lesson right and I'm going to carefully Put that on here Which again, it's still very hot. Sorry. It's off-camera. I'm sorry. You guys didn't realize that I'll move this in a little bit. There you go So I'm going to put my glove back on and I'm going to flip it You want to make sure that you're going to flip your paper so your paper goes upright So I have one more here. So I'm going to do the same thing Just kind of line it up where I want it to whoops. I almost did it again So I would have this image on there. So you want to want to make sure that you take the white part And put it on there and then you can take Your tape And put it on there So don't do what I did. Okay guys Sometimes I get away with it when I'm not on camera, but this time I didn't so that's what happens when you don't Use the tape. So I'm going to go ahead and do these two. I'll leave these to the side Put my tough one tape back on and or paper and I'm sorry. I did not say what I have my heat press set at So I have it at 400 degrees for 60 seconds and every project you do is different So please look into that For whatever you're using your key chains might be different than mine So you always want to make sure that you're not having your Temperature too hot or your time too long. So it has 44 seconds left. I'm going to come back when this is all done I'm going to show you what they look like two seconds I didn't push anything and it automatically goes up. It's really awesome like that. So you just want to pull your Bottom part out and again put your gloves on because it's going to be very hot. So I'm going to show you really quick what they look like So here's the first one here Oh much better. So the other part has ghosting on here, which I said I really like so there Is the first part and then there's the other side I'm going to show you this one really quick too So they both have it on each side So there's the first part There we go and then there's the second So I'm going to show you the next step of uh, or I'm going to show you what they look like when I put the tassels and the key ring on them Um, it's really easy to put those together, but I'm going to go ahead and put some together I'm going to show you a couple what they look like. I've done a few of these already I'm really excited about so stay tuned to see what the final project looks like so easy to create I hope you guys followed the instructions and if you have any questions, please leave them down below They were so much fun to create doesn't have to be just these kind You can put anything on them, but the possibilities are endless But I hope you like this DIY step by step tutorial Please hit that subscribe button if you're not subscribed already and leave any questions that you may have down below And I will help you as I can
