About US
This all started many years ago with stained glass art and then I got a Cricut to make t-shirts for my grand-kids, etc and that has progressed to a desire for sublimation art. I LOVE IT and hope you do too! At Lelah's Crafts Etc. we offer custom crafted hot/cold tumblers, cold water bottles, hot/cold wine tumblers, and coffee mugs. If you don't see something you're looking for you can send me an email and I'll see what is possible. I've done memorial tublers, grandparent tumblers and photo tumblers to name a few.
This is just the beginning and I hope to add many more items and designs in the near future.
Enjoy!

F.A.Q
What is Sublimation?
A lot of people think it is like a resin tumbler but it is very different. A resin tumbler is made with layers - design, glitter and unknown layers of resin. To me these cups are heavy and usually do not fit in a cars cup holder...this is my opinion. They are very pretty and I get the appeal. Sublimation items are created by printing a design on a specific paper with sublimation ink. The item to be sublimated has to have a poly coating because once it is wrapped with the printed design and cooked at 350 degrees the ink turns into a gas and is absorbed into the poly coating.My first one was for my mom. She has small hands and heavy things are hard for her to hold so this was the perfect solution. :-)TIP: If you are looking to purchase a sublimated tumbler anywhere look for "ghosting". That is white spots (see picture above) usually on the top and/or bottom but sometimes in the seam of the design. This is due to air getting in during the cooking process. FYI - I will not sell any product of mine that this happens because I feel this is a defect. Some say "oh, I wouldn't have noticed"...but I know it's there and can't sell it.
Can Sublimatation products go in the dishwasher?
If you look it up on the internet, as I did in the beginning, you will find that it says you can...So I did. Then I started noticing the color changing and it wasn't as brilliant... it was getting dull and faded out.
So then I kept putting 2 of my tumblers in there just as an example to take to my craft fairs and show people.
It's also been suggested not soaking them in a sink of water. This would be because the hot water can dull the design just like a dishwasher can. I also wash my cups first, before greasy pans, silverware, etc. just to be safe. I've noticed that items like silverware can chip the design.
Remember, they are hand made and need a little extra care.
Is the Hot/Cold Tumbler only for coffee or is the Cold Only Water Bottle only for water??
The Hot/Cold Tumbler can be used for many different drinks like coffee, soda, tea and even beer just to name a few. The list is endless!
The Cold Only Water Bottle is not only great for water with or without the Cirkul Flavor top but any cold liquid like soda and tea too!
I'm sure there are other drinks that could be used in these tumblers. So, when you leave a review why not let others know what you have used yours for!
Do the lids on the tumblers last forever?
The lids are plastic and with the motion of opening and closing they eventually get worn out.
Here's the good news - they can easily be purchased from Amazon in packages of 3 to 5 from $5.95 to 10.99 (specific details can change). Just look up "20oz Skinny Tumbler Lid" and pick which option works best for you.
TIP: a friend of mine told me if you soak the lids in a cup with a denture cleaning tablet (get the cheap ones at the Dollar Store) and it gets the coffee stains out much easier. Then just rinse and they are clean!
