An experiment …
I’ve spent some time (yeah, ok, hours and HOURS) researching and learning about dye-sublimation … what you can do, and what you’re not supposed to be able to do … I love bending the rules – if it works.
You’re not supposed to be able to permanently sublimate articles of clothing/material unless it has received a special (costly!) magic coating … HA! I have found a magic coating (hairspray, no less!) that seems to be working. I’ve made a trial blanket for baby. It’s in the wash now, so we’ll see – but this is what it looked like before going into the laundry. After washing, the ‘press lines’ should disappear. Here’s hoping the image doesn’t too …
Ideally – being a gift, I wouldn’t have to wash it, but … sometimes you’ve just got to bend the rules. If it doesn’t work, that’s okay too, as I had some fun in the baby department, picking up a little of this and some more of that to make a gift basket.
