Making a DIY sublimation flag is a simple project that anyone can handle. You just need a sublimation print with sublimation ink and a polyester flag. After that, it is just a matter of applying heat with a heat press. Let's take a look at the process of making both a sublimation garden flag as well as a flag that is perfect for parties. Whichever one you make, you are sure to love the results!

I believe you can tell the printer to split a larger design onto multiple 8.5 x 11 pages. It is difficult to line up and tape the pages perfectly for pressing on the flag but it can be done. I think it is the page per sheet option but its been a while since I tried this.

Made an oversized flag design but tape lines showed where design was lined up. Taped back of design with Cricut heat tape. Tape didn't show through where I taped to flag so it didn't move. This tape didn't transfer to the flag. Used sublimation blank, sublimation ink & ASub paper.

I want to see a video that you show how you printed on the sublimation paper

Your channel has been a godsend for me and your website. I'm so grateful for your time and dedication to help other crafters. Do you know of any Free programs I can run icc profile? I'm just doing sublimation as a hobby but its definitely giving me issues all over the place. But I will master it eventually. Thank you for all you do.

What temp and time for stick flag?

@tonyafortier8883 4 years ago

Thank you for all your hard work and time! I always learn something new watching your videos. Any tips for those of us that don’t have a sublimation printer but use infusion ink paper with the Cricut?

@karenh1217 1 year ago

When you flip the garden flag around, what happens if you were to accidentally press part of a section that had already been pressed? Would it ruin the design?

@maryjanedavidson2804 4 years ago

Great, now I am going to have to buy some flags lol. On a side note, I love your shirt!!! I have a tie dye business and am thinking of making one with similar colors, did you dye that yourself?
