Last Christmas I made my porch sign by using the backing from a piece of Cricut smart vinyl-permanent instead of Cricut mats taped together…. I ran a trial with dollar tree vinyl (so I didn’t waste much money if it failed 🤷🏼♀️) it worked 😃
How did you get the new vinyl to stick to the old backing sheet?
@@lisahillard7211 I just used spray glue, let it dry and it made it a little tacky (not as tacky as a mat, but good enough it stayed in place) I was just experimenting but it worked 🤷🏼♀️
That’s a great idea! What type of spray glue did you use?
Great trick you shared, the signs look perfect. However, your sense of humor was on point & one of the reasons I love watching you work. Thank you for the laughter! 😂😂😂
I snort laughed and nearly fell off my stool. You’re hilarious. Thank you for being real, it’s refreshing, which is why I love your work!
Great Hack...Thank you for my lunch time laughter. I am so glad you don't edit out the not so perfect parts. We all struggle sometimes, but we persevere....💗💗💗
Watching on reply. My eyes are full of tears from laughing so much. Don't you just hate it when your Cricut gets mad? Michael, your expressions and reactions are precious.
They are THE BEST 🤣🥳
Ask Starcraft to make their own smart vinyl. All they really need to do is put a thicker backing.
I have… many, many times. 😆 They’ve been investigating it, but since it’s a new width of vinyl (13”) they would have to change how the vinyl is manufactured and that would apparently be VERY expensive 😅
But worth the money
To be able to not use a mat in general would make it worth it
@@mrcraftypants does it have to be 13in?
This is a great idea. I saw a guy using the vinyl without a mat and just put the paper towels cardboard tubes under it to support it while making his sign. It worked great.
I don't know why someone doesn't just release a special adhesive backing (That can be cut to what ever length desired) that can hold normal vinyl. Sure you lose the extra vinyl on the sides and top, but it could be a happy medium.
Ohmygoodness you have me laughing hysterically!! I love your facial expressions
This is exactly what my brain went to for a hack on large cuts on better vinyl! So happy you did this and it worked! Thx!
I'm glad that this worked out the second time around.
Your signs look fantastic!
Thank you so much, Lisa! 😃
I agree with you about the Smart vinyl! Its so thick and almost cumbersome!!
Thank you for sharing this. You gave some really good advice. I sell my crafts and the thing I took was crafting vinyl lasts outside for insane amount of years if placed on a smooth surface. Thank you so much. I live in Western Kentucky. It gets unbearable heat here and humidity is awful.
Another reason why I love my silhouette cameo, no mat needed for long cuts. Their machine allows you to move rollers
Your reaction to the first cut had me laughing so hard. You are too much and us crafters love it! Nice job tricking cricut to cut that long without cricut vinyl. And I am with you 100% cricut vinyl sucks! Lol
This is awesome - I've seen other hacks where you trim down the vinyl and put it through the Cricut Maker 3 without a mat, but I'm liking this idea more - less chance of the vinyl shifting in the machine. I have a larger than mat decal to make for my sister's caravan - I think I'll be going with your method. Wish me luck!
You can change your “template” to a guide in Design Space. Under the Cut pull down choose guide.
In my opinion… this way is sooooo much more worth it than buying the smart vinyl OR slicing and piecing the sections to get her. I love it!!!! Thanks for showing this technique “hack”🤣🤣🤣🫶🫶
So glad you found it useful! 🤩
You made me laugh out loud.
I like that you show true process, including mistakes
Arizona checking in 😁 I wish you would start doing education videos for the Silouette Cameo, I have the Plus. I bought it cause I wanted the larger cutting space…tutorials are far and few between 🥴. I also have a Cricut Maker
Replay, the cost of cricut smart vinyl alone is worth using this hack. Oh and by the way, your facial expressions were priceless Thank you 😄Linda
You are just a genius! I am definitely going to try this! Thanks Michael!!
Can I just thank you so much for this! I thank you the bravery you had and the laughter you gave us! But, question. I have smart vinyl I do not want to waste. I’m a complete vinyl 143 customer, but what transfer tape can I get the smart vinyl off their mat? I love Vinyl 143!!
Thank you!!
of course!!
OMG I love you so much! I literally have not laughed that hard in a while. “Crap on a stick!” You’re the best lol!! 🤣🤣
You crack me up 🤣 I just love watching your stuff. I have learned so much form you. Thank you.
I do have the Circut machine but my choice is to use the silhouette cameo! You don’t have to go through all of this.
This video made me laugh out loud! What a great hack! Thanks for sharing.
Your stress level! OMG! You are adorable! ;-) I don't have a cricut 3, but just wanted to watch anyway! I have the Air 2 and when it dies, I'm going with the Solo that appears to play well with others! ;-)
Another TH-cam crafter found you can trim one edge to make smart vinyl fit regular Cricut and cut without a mat. It worked for them.
I think you have to trim 1/12 inch or so. Just trim it to be the same size as the mat, edge to edge. Use a trimmer.
They even tried regular vinyl (had to cut it so it was long enough and the original width became the length) and as long as the rollers can grab the edges, it will cut. You still have waste from the margins, but you can cut without a mat on a regular cricut if you need to.
I put removable black cricut brand vinyl on a wood blank sign from hobby lobby and it has been outside for 2 years now
OMG, I laughed so hard I cried! I love watching your videos, you're human!
This is a genius idea! I have been wanting to make signs and not have to always buy the smart vinyl or the longer Mat.
Thank you for testing that for us
I love your lives, even on replay. You made my day with all the laughter!
Oh my gosh I cannot stop laughing you bring me such joy. 😂😂😂😂I should not be laughing this loud at work. 😂😂😂😂😂
I wanted to give a hug on day one…great job persevering
Awesome! 👍Thanks for sharing as always! 🥰
That is so awesome 💕 it will make cutting for signs so much quicker.
I have a Brother SNC not a Cricut - but I'm guessing the Cricut smart vinyl has a reg mark or design on the back that the machine sees? If so, can't you copy that in some way onto the vinyl you want to use?
Thanks!
Game Changer!!!!! Love your work :)
Thanks so much for doing this video I absolutely HATE Cricut’s Smart vinyl. I actually found some offbrand smart vinyl on Amazon for the Joy and it works great I just wish there were more colors it only comes in black and white.
Omg, Im so sorry I am laughing so hard but your faces 🤣
Is it Morgan who is editing the videos? Absolutely love the added comments on the screen and sound effects, makes me laugh so much 💜💜 great hack 💜💜
It’s actually my best friend of 9 years who’s editing them. 😂
@@mrcraftypants 💜💜
What a great idea!
I much rather do it this way! Thank you!!
I have been missing the lives. I'm so glad that I can see the replay
Thank you so much for this!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who rides the struggle buss occasionally 😂
I have a hard time getting smart vinyl off the backing, regular transfer doesn’t work, strong is too much
So I use a pazzles machine, not a cricut and you can just change your page size to as long as you want and tape mats together as you did and it works perfectly. Not sure if in the cricut software you can do the same
Beautiful
These signs are adorable and you are hysterical! Where did you get your signs?!
Very interesting hack...gr8 video as always!!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!
Okay, I NEED to know where you're getting your signs...I have an idea of what your response will be, but please let us know.
Sweet hack!!
Great video!
I for got I do resin, pull chain art, painting, cricket vinyl in various ways, and wood working projects. I don't try to copy others as I like to be unique. But I show others how to do my projects. I think that is why I don't sell much.:-)
Everything is Halloween which is my birthday but not celebrated in Australia. It is okay, I am still learning new things from how you do them. Thank you.
Can't wait to get started on all these great projects
Yes I have done this and it work's
This was awesome. Do you need to seal your sign after you paint it before laying vinyl?
This is a great question! I just uploaded a short to this channel with the answer for you! 😃
th-cam.com/users/shorts8mQmt57v-q0?feature=share
This reminds me of the Weasley car in Harry Potter. The way it spat out the last of the vinyl 😂
LOL! Yesss! 😂🤣
That was awesome!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love this video....I'm bout to die laughing 😂😂😂😂
You need Brother scan n cut lol, it has a roller and will cut any length.
Loved it but alot faster I think. Thank you
😂 the cricut spit it out.
Love your videos the larger length is really great idea I really don’t like Cricut vinyl
Replay squad! I was worried about you and your machine! Things got a little tense! 😰 Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that Morgan accidentally threw the first attempt away. Then, you were able to start fresh! Lucky you for living so close to 143 Vinyl. 😁
Maybe that could be 143's next project (wink,wink, hint, hint) is to create somethin a lil thicker kind of like smart vinyl for us to use when we want to make longer cuts.. 143's vinyl is awesome and once u use that it's hard to use anything else.
stick the mat in backwards instead to have the hole away from cutting edge
Great idea, what transfer tape did you use? It looked like easy-to-use stuff 😊
That worried face!! 😂
Omg hilarious 😆 I needed that laugh . Your awesome 🤩
Great idea! Can this hack work with Explore Air 2? The Joy? Tempted to try it but not when my Charlee is here! Thanks Michael for the great video!
Perfect timing. I have a 30" long cut to do. Guess what I'm going to be doing? 😁 I wonder if I can lower the design on the make it screens so I don't have to put the vinyl all the way to the edge and tape it?
I put the starting edge at the 2" mark, and the cut was just inside the sticky part of the mat. You will have to tell design space to make the cut longer to move the design, but it works. I also only put the masking tape on the back side, and put the little hanger holes so they were both on the outside (no cuts going over them)
Do you have an update on the situation of someone ripping off your designs?
I think as long as you click on smart vinyl as your material used, you won’t need any kind of mat. It will assume you have one.
Ok, I'm confused..... how did you get your explore to cut longer than 24"? Mine limits me to that as the longest cut. It's super frustrating because I make banners for car windshields from time to time. Please help.
You can cut that roll without a mat if you have a silhouette cameo 4!
Michael did you know that Teckwrap makes smart vinyl too? 😀
Awesome Hack!!
I buy and cut them down..
But have not used it yet..
I have a silhouette mat with my cricut but it didn’t work. Any suggestions?
We aren’t even halfway through August yet! Put those Halloween decorations away! Lol
LOL! They’re off of the porch… for now 😂
Great job!
It's called experimenting 🤩, trial n error that's how we learn 😉. I'm visually impaired and love to try n craft it helps keep my mind clear so I do a lot of experimenting trying to find easy ways and equipment etc to help make it doable for me. I have lots of trials n errors in it lol. I love watching you craft because you make mistake or boo boos n whew it's nice to know I'm not the only one in this wild world of crafting that makes boo boos lol.
Wow that’s awesome 👏🏼
I'll definitely have to try this! I just got a roll from 143vinyl that's 24" wide figuring I'd just cut it down to 13" wide to make long cuts then using the excess 11" for smaller cuts. Any idea if 143vinyl has any future plans of making their vinyl 13" wide?
Great video
Don't they have longer mats for this ? I'm genuinely asking. I'm new and know absolutely nothing!!
My colour palate on my cricut design space has disappeared. It's actually still there, only invisible, ( I hope that makes sense) has anyone else come across this before? And is there a simple fix to bring it back?
Good morning
Has anyone tried cutting Vvivid xpoo vinyl
With a Cricut
What setting worked best?
Thank you
Have a great day
What a great idea 👍👍👍
I love watching your videos. What is the best color printer to use for vinyl paper that's inexpensive?
Yes! It was worth it. But I have a cameo so I’ll be using that noisy machine!
I think its worth it, especially if you already have the regular vinyl.
love your Videos but those lights kill my eyes..
