Do you love the look of those patterned acrylic sheets, but hate the price tag on them? Do you want to put your own designs on acrylic for laser cutting? You can! If you have a sublimation
printer and heat press, you can easily make your own patterned acrylic sheets and custom prints!
I use a small easy press type heat press to sublimate on my acrylic and I cut my shapes first, then sublimate them.
The earrings in the photo to the right were all cut from white acrylic then sublimated with some sub transfers I printed out.
I use a heat setting of 390F for 45 seconds, then quickly put the sublimated acrylic under some heavy weight to keep it flat and stop any warping from the het.
If you’d like to see a video on how to do this, just let me know in the comments and I’ll get one worked up for you.
