How Do You Sublimate a License Plate on a Cricut?

Creating custom license plates with a Cricut machine is a great way to show off your creative side. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, an avid DIYer, or just looking for a fun project, sublimating a license plate with your Cricut will give you the perfect finished product.

The great thing about sublimation is that it’s easy to do and doesn’t require any special equipment. All you need is your Cricut machine, some sublimation paper, and the design of your choice. You can find plenty of designs online or create your own using the Cricut Design Space software.

First, you’ll need to print out the design on the sublimation paper. Make sure to use the correct settings for printing and that you have enough coverage on the paper for the design to come through clearly. Once you’ve printed out your design, it’s time to start sublimating.

Place the license plate on your Cricut cutting mat and then place the printed design face down on top of it. Secure both in place with some repositionable adhesive spray and then load it into your Cricut machine. Select “Sublimate” as the material type in Design Space and then hit “Go”.

Your Cricut will heat up and press down onto the license plate with intense heat and pressure. This process transfers dye from the paper onto your license plate, creating a vibrant image that won’t fade or peel over time.

Conclusion:

Sublimating a license plate with a Cricut is an easy way to add custom artwork to any vehicle. All you need is some sublimation paper, adhesive spray, and a few minutes of prep time before loading it into your machine.

Once loaded in, simply select “Sublimate” as your material type in Design Space and let your Cricut do its thing! With just a few simple steps, you can turn any boring license plate into an eye-catching piece of art.
