Pink 20oz Tumbler 💕

So today I received my Christmas mystery box and within that mystery bow I was given a set of 8 20oz Tumblers.

I was beyond excited and thought I need to make one TODAY

But for a second I thought hold on I do not have a tumblr press what do I do? So I use the alternative which was convention oven and I begin my journey to making a perfect tumblr for my daughter.

:bangbang: Important Safety Disclaimer :bangbang:

ATTENTION: Do NOT use your regular convection oven for cooking once it has been used for sublimation!
Using your oven for sublimation can make it unsafe for food preparation. To ensure safety, please refrain from using the same oven for both purposes.

If you don’t have access to a tumbler press, we strongly recommend investing in one. It’s a safer and more efficient alternative.

Tumbler presses are available for purchase at:

This is my very first tumbler so I didn’t have high expectations of how it would turn out.

But when I finished making it I was beyond impressed of how it turned out.

I still need to practice lining up the seems a little more.

But practice makes perfect right?

Here are a few images of the process I followed.
A in-depth review and step by step guide shall follow soon ( once I’m 100% confident in them)

Congratulations on the gifts mine arrived today but still in the post station :heart_eyes: the HTVRONT Tumblers are awesome I love them and you don’t need only Tumbler press this is why they send shrink paper with every Tumbler (which you don’t need to use it with Tumbler press)
You did great and the Tumbler turned out very pretty :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
I have only One advice to tape more it will be better. I’ll try to out a link to a tutorial video so you can see how I do it :blush:

Thank you for your kind words. My only issue is alignment at the moment other than that I’m happy with the rest so it’s just about figuring out how I Align the paper so the board match. And yes, I figured that if I had a tumblr press I wouldn’t need the shrink wrap. I am just waiting on confirmation from the LOKLiK team in regards to the tumble press that I want if they have it in the colour I need.

Girl just get one from the list the colour doesn’t matter it’s very lovely I love it :heart_eyes:
Anyway I did some Tumblers more than 20 I guess dk and still sometimes get a line or the alignment isn’t perfect but I always look at the bright side :heart_eyes: my costumers do too luckily :face_with_hand_over_mouth: not all the designs have matching endings.
I have an advice to say that you can print the picture a little bigger maybe 3mm
You put a heat tape all the way on the bottom layer but only to the edge of the paper and then you bringthe other side upon it so what happens now is the extra space from the picture will be on top of the tape so you will not have an overlap ink problem. I hope you get it but I’m sure I’ve made a video of it I’ll post it when I find it :sweat_smile:

Colour for me means a lot LOL. I’m all for something that is aesthetically pleasing when it comes to my creative space which I don’t have just yet LOL but I think I know what you mean but when you get a chance, send me a video LOL I think I’ll know much more when I see being done.

Yes aligning is so hard, I use these clamps that make it a bit easier to align everything and make sure my design is tight around the bottle.

I normally put one at the top and one at the bottom of my tumbler, then start taping the middle first then work my way outward.
