Sublimate on Cotton Using White Glitter HTV

There are a few work-arounds to sublimate on cotton - my favorite being using white glitter heat transfer vinyl!  This Silhouette tutorial will take you from start to finish so you can get a vibrant and sparkly sublimation  design on any fabric in just a few steps. 

How to Print and Cut Glitter Heat Transfers with Roland BN-20A

You can print custom glitter heat transfers at home without having to layer glitter HTV by either sublimating on glitter HTV or by printing and cutting glitter transfers on a Roland BN-20A or BN-20.

Both of these methods avoid the issue of added bulk when layering solid color glitter HTV. I prefer the Roland BN-20 method because it avoids the common issue of trying to line up the sublimation print with the cut vinyl and the transfer isn't as thick. 

Read on for how to make glitter heat transfers with Roland BN-20A.

Secret to Layering Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl (without Subtracting!)

Well, this glitter HTV-lovin' girl just got the best news ever! It's possible to layer up to three colors of glitter HTV!!!

This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are my own.

Previously, I shared a workaround on layering glitter HTV which required some modification to the design in Silhouette Studio to subtract out the area of the top layer from the bottom. BUT...now with Chemica Bling Bling from ProWorld that extra time and work isn't necessary!  You can simply layer up to three layers of the glitter or 'Star' heat transfer vinyl (as it's called) on top of each other!

Even  better - you can try it for yourself since one lucky Silhouette School reader will win a $50 gift card to ProWorld!
