Today we will turn your ideas into stunning sublimation pinback buttons! Whether you're crafting for fun, a business venture, or just trying out something new, this DIY tutorial will walk you through the process step by step.
First things first—let's talk about what you'll need. Here's the supply list:
Sublimation printer and compatible sublimation ink.
Heat press machine.
Pinback button blanks (look for ones designed for sublimation).
Sublimation paper.
A design software or tool—anything that lets you get creative!
"Next step—pressing the design! Place your printed sublimation paper face down onto the sublimation-compatible side of the button blank. Secure it with heat-resistant tape to avoid shifting.
Preheat your heat press according to the button manufacturer's instructions—usually between 385°F and 400°F for 45-50 seconds. Then press away! Once done, let it cool for a few seconds before peeling off the paper. Are you seeing that vibrant design?
