These bandanas are great for your fur-babies… Not so much for my cat Toby was not having it… I’m surprised I was able to slip it over his head without getting scratched for a photo. 
What are Artesprix Sublimation Markers?
Magic Ink that transfers their beautiful colors from plain copy paper to a polyester product with a heat source. Iron-on-Ink Markers are the way to personalize sublimation, which is specially formulated inks that transfer only when activated with heat.

Materials:
Blank Pet Bandana 
Pastel and Original Iron-On-Ink Sublimation Markers
Sublimation Ink Pad
Acrylic Stamp Block
Trinity Stamp’s Nutty Squirrel Stamp
Plain Copy Paper
Pencil
Heat Tape
Protective Paper
Project Mat
Tools:
Heat Press or Home Iron
Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Step 1: Trace your Bandana onto a plain piece of copy paper using a pencil. That way you know how much space you have to work with.

Pro Tip: Set your heat press at 385℉ for 30 seconds before you start working on your bandana. That way, the heat press will be hot enough to sublimate your images when you are finished. 

Step 2: Stamp images within the traced area using the Sublimation Ink Pad and Acrylic Block. 

Step 3: Next, use the Sublimation Markers to color in the images.

Step 4: With sublimation, often with fabrics you should prep your blank by using a lint roller to remove anything that can't be seen with the naked eye. 

Step 5: Using heat tape, tape down the bandana (faced down) onto the paper.


Step 6: Place a piece of Protective Paper at the top and bottom of your bandana.  Place your "Sublimation Sandwich" inside the heat press for 30 seconds at 385℉.

Step 7: Carefully, take a peek at the project using gloves. Then remove the heat tape and paper from the bandana to reveal your vivid design!
