I received a box of sublimation blanks from Heat Transfer Warehouse with a WalaPress Sublimation Oven.


I've got so many more tumblers, mugs, and glass cans to sublimate and show you!


I have an YouTube video Tumbler Heat Press review comparing 4 different tumbler heat presses and which is the best heat press for sublimation tumblers.

Supply List for Tinted Glass Jar Sublimation:

Step 1: Print


Begin by sizing the jars and printing the flower patterns to fit the tumbler.


I use photoshop for all my photo editing, but there are lots of free programs that can help you size designs.


With sublimation, it's best to reverse the image horizontally even if there aren't words or photographs, because it will sublimate the way it was designed.

Step 2: Tape


Use the heat resistant tape to tape the design to the sublimation blank.


The top of the jar is tapered, so you can cut the paper to end where it's straight, or gather and tape the paper up over the tapered area.

I decided that I wanted my whimsical floral designs to go all the way up the jar...so I gathered and taped the top edge of the paper.


Then wrap the top tapered section of the jar with twine.


This will hold the design tightly against the blank during heating.

Then repeat the taping and twin wrapping process on each of the jars.

I love this Heat Resistant Tape Dispenser!


It's just $15 and so convenient. 


It makes for one handed taping which is totally a life saver.


I used to roll out some tape, cut it and stick it to the edge of my desk...over and over and over...so I could just grab a piece as needed.


This tape dispenser does all that for me.


It reverse winds the tape, so when you turn the crank wheel on the side, the tape appears in perfectly measured pieces!


It's magic!

Step 3: Shrink Wrap


Now cover the jar with shrink wrap and use a heat gun to shrink it tightly around the jar.

Step 4: Sublimation Oven


Now set the sublimation oven to temperature.


There's an included manual that shows the blank and the settings needed.


Set to 355* for 10 minutes.


The BEST part about the sublimation oven is that I can heat all 3 blanks at the same time!


When working with the same type of blank, they can all go in at the same time.

Place the taped and wrapped blanks in the oven and press the start or "time" button.


Once the oven reaches temperature, it will beep and start the timer countdown.

After the timer beeps, wear the heat resistant gloves and set them out onto a trivet to cool.


Once they are completely cool, remove the wrappings.

Step 5: Unwrap


This part takes WAY too long!


It's easy to speed it up on video, but this part can be surprisingly tedious.


Use a Cricut hook tool to help you get the shrink wrap off the glass.


Remove the twine and the sublimation paper and tape.

Then the reveal!


It's the best part--and it makes me so nervous!


I was thrilled with how these turned out.


The floral print is just perfect for the tinted jars...and they look like vintage flour sack prints. 


I just love how they look!
