Can Cricut cut magnet sheets? (Best way 2022)
To start with this tutorial I will show you how to set up the materials in Cricut, this will seem super simple, but you have to consider some elements like the millimeter (or thickness) of the materials you are combining or maybe look carefully what kind of indications you need if the material you are acquiring is not of the Cricut brand (in case this is the case).
Another important fact is that you are using the cut and print function of Cricut, so you may already know some of the steps to follow.
I can also assure you that all the materials offered by the Cricut brand are on their website, you just need to put the name that says the package of your material, and there you will see exactly the type of cut you need to make according to the machine you have.
Now my recommendation is that you always use a little extra material before doing the test and that you do it on a sheet or maybe two (depending on how complex is the material you use) so you can experiment before you start (I usually do tests or experiments before to not fail and waste a lot of material later, that’s why I recommend you to practice before you start).
Once you are in Cricut Design Space you can create a circle and there you can put the different settings for your machine to make the necessary pressure. You may also have to change the number of passes the blade makes and you can decide which is the best shape to use for your material.
This step is super important when you create stickers for example since you apply an additional layer to seal it differently with some kind of clearer and other steps.
