Sublimation Projects of the Week

When I first bought my Sawgrass sublimation printer, I knew I wanted to make quick and easy gifts for friends and family. I try to continually look for fun things to sublimate. I make them throughout the year and tuck them into a little bin. When a birthday, anniversary or just a special day for any occasion rolls around, I can easily look into the bin of sublimation goodies and I’ve got the perfect gift. Let’s take a look at my most recent creations.

I wanted to create a fall bib that could be worn for the season, rather than a Halloween bib that is limited to a much shorter time period. This image was exactly what I was looking for. I love non-traditional holiday colors, like this blue. The bib blank is a great size for toddlers.

Next up, I created another fun sublimation project utilizing this burlap-like wine bag (you can grab one and save 15% off your order by using code 9PSR5). I found this FUN “in case of emergency design” HERE. This will be a great project for holiday hostess and co-worker gifts.

Wine Gift Bag with the Cricut

Wine Bottle Bag-11

 

 

Cheers!  Today, we are making fabric wine bags.  I just love making these personalized bags.

 

Often, I find I want to do a little more than just a single bottle of wine.  I think adding a fabric wine bag that the recipient can reuse is an excellent way to take an everyday gift and make it a little more special and add that touch of handmade love.

 

 

 

Wine Bottle Bag-5

Pair it with a couple of wine glasses and your simple gift is on a whole other level.  Fabric scraps are perfect for this project!  Wouldn’t it be fun to make it out of Halloween Fabric and add “witches brew” on the side?  How about a bottle for the bridal party to enjoy while they are getting ready… add the word BRIDE.  You could make it out of fun floral fabrics for a girls night at a friends house, or add a monogram for an everyday hostess gift.  Tons of possiblities.

Wine Bottle Bag-2

I used the Cricut EasyPress to add the word “Cheers”.  I just love the 6 x 7 EasyPress for this project.

 

It’s even fun without any personalization.

 

Don’t have a Cricut Maker yet?  (you need one).  Don’t worry… simply cut the pattern out with cardstock and use that as a template to cut the fabric by hand.  Easy peasy!… (but seriously.. you NEED the Maker!)

OK, are you ready to get stocked up on gift bags for the holidays?  You can start now by grabbing the pattern HERE.  It’s made from Basic Shapes in Cricut Design Space, so you can use it for free.  Here’s the step by step tutorial:
