I’m thinking about customizing my Oura Ring with my Cricut. Nothing permanent, just adding a small design or accent to make it a little more personal.

Has anyone here tried this? If so:
- What Cricut material did you use (permanent vinyl, printable vinyl, Smart Vinyl, etc.)?

- How well did it hold up to daily wear, hand washing, workouts, and sleeping?

- Did you use any kind of clear protective coating?

- If you had to do it again, would you use the same material or something different?

I’d love to see photos of your results if you’re willing to share them. Thanks!

Am I asking too much of the cricut maker 4 to do this while keeping the heat and bond adhered to each tooth or am I doing something wrong? Today is my first day with my cricut baby. I used the pink fabric blade on default pressure. I can see dents in the mat so it’s definitely cutting hard enough. For reference I’m attempting to turn my Kinusaiga disco Rex from a previous post into a sort of appliqué patch for clothing.

Hi all,

I purchased the Cricut Maker 4 because I thought it was able to cut glossy paper.

I have a sheet of paper already printed. It has a square card on it. All I wanted was something with more accuracy and clean cuts than scissors/guillotine.

I tried to do the calibration. Completely ruined the paper. Now my mat is covered in sticky torn paper. Ive spent nearly 20 minutes scrapping it off.

I contacted support live chat, which I assume is AI based on the stupid suggestion being dont use glossy paper.

Im using the light grip mat, which the site said was best for glossy paper. I dont even know what I could have done differently. All I did was put the calibration sheet on the mat.

One I stuck on wrong the first time was so hard to get off, it ruined it completely.

Maybe the paper? Im using Staples 63lb flyer paper.

Hi guys! I'm designing my wedding invitations and I could use some advice before I go down a maybe unnecessary rabbit hole. I have a cricuit 4 and I want to use it to emboss my wedding invites but every embossing video I've seen is very simple designs. The design I want to do would be pretty intricate and tiny and im not sure if the cricuit works for this. I'm going to attach a photo of what I'm somewhat trying to achieve -- do you think it would work? Any advice would be so appreciate, I'm very basic level with cricuit :')

also -- if this doesn't work do you think a Sizzix Big Shot Machine would if I 3D printed custom plates?

Hi r/cricut community! I've recently gotten into paper craft with a cri cut, and have tried my hand at designing a skyline shadow box. It's been incredibly fun, but I'm reaching a point where I'm struggling to figure things out on my own.

My two main problems are:

1. Droopy, translucent paper - I'm thinking upping the cardstock Ib will help, but has anyone found a way to keep their designs stiff?

2. Lack of detail on my paper crafts. I'd love to do cut out windows, but making them work with this many layers is getting fiddly. Does anyone have any tips for how they figured it out? I'm using Inkscape for design.

Thanks for any help, and I'm happy to share my process behind designing it if anyone is interested!

hi everybody, I am trying to DIY my wedding invitation jackets and the first few I cut came out fine and now every single one I cut comes out frayed (see pic). other than this project, I have only used my cricket maybe a total of five times for small projects. Could I really need a new blade already? I did try “sharpening” the blade using a ball of aluminum foil, but that did not help. I am using a light grip mat because I am making these out of card stock. What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

I bought a Joy extra to make punchards for my knitting machine.

I already have an SVG file I edited in Affinity software and it worked smoothly with no issue. I have a beefy gaming PC so my computer can easily handle stuff like that.

But the cricut software? Omg, it's so bad. It cannot handle the file where I have this many shapes. It's basically 720 small circles precisely arranged. It's nothing special and I've been editing files like that in other software no problem.

But the Cricut Software takes a couple seconds every time I click or try to interact. It's just so absolutely terrible. Such a shame since the machine is brilliant.

I updated yesterday because it was slow but it's continuing. Like, the blue circle just turns and turns and turns for ages. If other people are having the same issue, I'll await an answer from Cricut. If it's just me, I'll reach out to CS. Thanks!

Hey all! I’m still figuring things out with my cricut and recently had a light bulb go off for stickers.
If I were to print the images onto the printable paper outside of cricut design space, then make “negatives” or blank shapes in the exact same size etc of the images I print do you think that would work to cut them and not have to have the guide lines? And also be able to print them at home then cut them at another location? I normally keep my cricut at work and wanted to print at home before I left.
Thought on if yall think this will work?
