Got a heat press sitting in your garage?

Graduation season just became your best week of the year.

A 12-pack of blank stoles runs about $36 on Amazon.

Order your DTF transfers from a supplier, press them at 265 to 280 degrees, and keep that temperature low so you don't scorch the poly satin.

Total investment in materials? Around $84.

Sell each stole for $20. That's $240 back in your pocket from one evening of work.

We broke down the full math, the press settings, and exactly where to sell them fast — link in the comments.

🎓 Graduation Season is Here! Ready for the Easiest Side Hustle of the Year? 💸

If you have a heat press, this is your sign to start making custom graduation stoles. It's a fantastic way to cash in on graduation season with minimal upfront cost and quick turnaround times.

Here is the complete breakdown of how to make it happen:

The Setup

Blanks: Grab a 12-pack of blank poly-satin stoles on Amazon (approx. $36).

Transfers: Order custom DTF (Direct-to-Film) transfers from your favorite supplier.

Total Investment: Around $84 for blanks and transfers combined.

The Process

Temp: 265°F - 280°F

Time: 8 - 10 seconds

⚠️ Pro-Tip: Keep the temperature low! Poly-satin scorches easily, so don't risk ruining your blanks.

The Profit

Sell each custom stole for just $20.

A 12-pack brings in $240, leaving you with a cool $156 profit for just one evening of work!

How to Sell
Post your finished stoles in your local "Senior Parents" Facebook groups. At $20 each, they are an easy sell and typically clear out in 24 to 48 hours. Once they're gone, rinse and repeat all month long! 🔁

Quick Tip: 100% Polyester shirts don't need as much time under the heat press as cotton shirts.

We normally do a 5 second first press, followed by a 7 second 2nd press.

We do thousands of dri-fit shirts a month with no issues.
