Learn how to make Cricut fill in letters for you! Cricuts can do so muchl! Until you want to fill a design with foil, pens, markers, or engraving, that is. But I have a technique (and special file) that works for all four! It takes some experimenting, especially if you want to see how to make Cricut fill in letters on your own projects, but I'll walk you through the process in this step-by-step video!

I engrave a lot of keychains and things, I usually use a lint roller or painters' tape to remove the debris off the acrylic blank before removing it from the mat, it also saves from getting more debris on the mat. pro tip: put self-adhesive laminating sheets down sticky side up on a new strong grip mat to save the mat from getting destroyed over time.. if too much debris gets on the mat, I just change the laminating sheets instead of buying new mats.

I just want to say thank you for this information.

I'm always learning something new from Jennifer. God bless.

Loved this video!! It was so timely as yesterday I tried my very first engraving and just did the outline. I was unable to watch at noon yesterday so imagine my surprise when I got my notification with the video description that the video was about filling in writing for engraving. Super excited to try your technique since some others have seemed so complicated that I was afraid to try them. Thanks for all you do for us crafters.

Your instructional ideas are perfect! The first time I skipped to the draw section and didn’t understand how I could use this for any project. I watched it again from the beginning and it made perfect sense. I bought the wrong card stock but used it anyway to test if I did it correctly and I did! All thanks to your thorough yet simple to follow instructions. Now to try it on my own project!
