Materials
The Cricut Vinyl Cutters are ideal for cutting flat sheets of material up to 12 inches wide, such as:
- Vinyl
- Paper
- Fabric
What to Bring
Your material and a laptop with Cricut Design Space.
Pro Tips
- Favorite the material settings you use! It’ll make finding it again easier.
- Make sure to save your projects as you go. Cricut Design Space doesn’t autosave them.
- If you’re doing print then cut for things like stickers, add an offset and attach it behind your image. Cricut will try to cut the border of every single pixel if you tell it to, so the offset will cut faster and allow for some flexibility if the Cricut doesn’t line up the cut lines perfectly.
Resources
It’s worth noting that the Cricut is the most documented machine we have in the Co-Lab, and there are tons of tutorials online!
