How to Make Glass Can Wraps with Sublimation Stickers
Last week I shared a post about waterproof sublimation stickers. Well, today we are taking it up a notch and creating our own glass can wraps with sublimation stickers!
You may ask why we would do this…for a couple of reasons really. Let me break it down:
- While you can sublimate directly on sublimation glasses, you aren’t able to get any white ink on your design. So with sublimation stickers, you get the benefit of the white background to complete your designs that need white “ink”.
- Sublimation stickers are waterproof and dishwasher safe (I’ve put my glasses on the top rack with heated dry and they came out just as nice as they went in.)
- You get the look of detailed designs without the need of a tumbler or mug press. So, if you have already have a Cricut machine, sublimation printer and a heat press, you can create your own glass wraps.
- You get the look of detailed designs without having to cutting and weeding several layers of individual vinyl.
- While you can create a similar effect with regular inkjet stickers, you won’t be able to have waterproof stickers without adding a laminate sheet on top.
- You can also create something similar with printable vinyl, but again you won’t get the benefit of it being waterproof
- You don’t need to purchase sublimation ready substrates, these stickers can be applied to regular glass, ceramic, stainless steel, etc.
Those are just some reasons I can think up for now, but there are probably more that I will need to add to the list later!
Let’s go over all the supplies I used to create the project…
What you will need to learn how to make glass can wraps:
Sublimation Sticker Paper (I used White Glossy)
Cricut Joy Xtra or other Cricut Machine that can Print then Cut
I created a very detailed step by step tutorial to walk you through the process from start to finish. Check it out below:
