I am cutting some plastic from the dollar store for a project - it was a reflective "turkey platter" and looked maybe a touch thicker than what you've got for the craft plastic. I ran a test cut through the art/illustration board setting and it worked like a charm on the first attempt. Thank you for sharing this tip! And if you need reflective silvery flexible plastic for a project to look like silver plate, the dollar store has got you!

I watched this video after making a cake Topper. The only thing I could have done differently from your video is tape the plastic to the mat and use the setting you suggested. My Topper came out really cute. I layered it with cardstock, having the plastic sheet as the 3rd layer.

What are the settings you use for those? How many passes?

@clevesque6348 Жыл бұрын

@@lynnconroy8 don’t remember off hand. Maybe knife blade and plastic? You can always stop it if it cut through instead of making all the passes. T-shirt rulers used a fine point blade to make the marks.

hi angie , fyi I couldnt find plastic sheets when i was looking for them , but I found something else . the plastic folders that the dollar shops sell for putting reports in work really well . they are wider (after you open them up and undue the pocket carefully ) and they come in different colors . At a $ or less a folder . I made my daughter the cricut design chinese hanging , which was suppose to be made of cardstock . Made 2 of them and she loved them . sincerely deb in VT

This would be for completely different projects more than likely.. Ones where you want something to stand off of the surface like shown here. Or ones where you are making something like a cake topper and you need it to stand on its own.

I ran into your video, and I was looking on how to do this, however, you never show hot to program this in the Cricut App/software despite the fact that you recommended to use the pc; so, you didnt really show what I was looking for. How to select the material, how to select the tools....

@AngieHolden Жыл бұрын

I have MANY videos on selecting those in Design Space. Sometimes I run through the entire thing and other times I skip that. Once you hit make it, the machine will prompt you to pick a material then the software tells you what tool. There isn't really anything to show.
