Crafting Unique Keepsakes: How to Personalize Projects with Brother's Fabric and Sublimation Printers

What do you get when you have a Brother Print Moda Fabric Printer and a Brother Sublimation Printer? Well, for one, you’ll have endless possibilities of items to create! 

Pairing these two machines for your innovative projects can help you make your one-of-a-kind dreams come true. Add Brother’s Artspira app to the mix and the sky’s the limit.

Much like how the Print Moda uses special fabric to print on, the Sublimation comes with its own unique paper and ink to print out designs. With the Artspira app, you can use their library of dozens of graphics, patterns, motifs, and designs or upload your own. It also allows you to customize colours and the size you want. With your edited design complete, it’s time to take the next step in your DIY project—printing! With its fast-printing speed, the Sublimation will have your image ready to use in no time. Once printed, a heat press can be used to transfer your design onto materials. 

There are many ways to combine these two printers to create wonderful keepsakes and gifts. One way is with a tote bag, which is handy for many uses, such as a shopping bag, carrying supplies, or even as an everyday purse. 

To start, you can take the custom fabric you’ve created on your Print Moda and sew a simple tote bag. Once you have finished, add a nice, personalized touch by sublimating an image or graphic onto it. 

You can also take an otherwise plain t-shirt or sweatshirt and turn it into something special with a fun print or graphic! This could be a cool DIY project for making matching family t-shirts, cozy holiday sweatshirts, or simply for adding a unique piece to your wardrobe. This video has a great demonstration of how to use the Brother Sublimation Printer to customize a sweatshirt.

But sublimation isn’t just for fabrics. There are plenty of options for items you can sublimate to create personalized and unique gifts. This video shows you just how easy it is to use the Sublimation to personalize mugs, a wonderful gift for coffee and tea drinkers alike. Other items you can customize include tumblers, water bottles, coasters, pens, mouse pads, keychains, ornaments, earrings, phone cases, and more. 

With Brother’s Print Moda Fabric Printer, Sublimation Printer, and the Artspira app, you’ll never want to stop crafting. You’ll be likely to have your imagination running wild after each project you complete, itching to make another creation. And with these three handy tools from Brother, it will be easy to make something truly special for friends, family, and even for yourself!
