Making a DIY sublimation flag is a simple project that anyone can handle. 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.

For the garden flag, I did a design in Photoshop and then I added some text on the bottom. This will go in the center of my flag because I don’t have a very large heat press.

Sublimation Flag: How to Make a Garden or Party Flag

Making a DIY sublimation flag is a simple project that anyone can handle. 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.

SUPPLIES

– Party Flags – Garden Flags – Car Flags – ASub sublimation paper – Sublimation printer – Sublimation ink – Heat Press – Lint Roller

INSTRUCTIONS:

Printing Designs

For the small flag, I intentionally used the 8 x 14 sublimation paper so I could fit two flags on one sheet with a bleed around the outside edge.

For the garden flag, I did a design in Photoshop and then I added some text on the bottom. This will go in the center of my flag because I don’t have a very large heat press.

Prepping the Sublimation Flags

Pre-press each of the flags for 5 to 10 seconds at degrees to remove any moisture. Then lint roll the side where you are adding the sublimation print.

Adding Paper to Sublimation Flag

Locate the design on the flag. For the small flag, I left some bleed around three of the edges as discussed previously.

Then, tape the print into place. You will also need to use protective paper on the bottom as well as the top.
