Hi, Lily! Thank you so much for sharing this video! This was so helpful for me, who just received a Cricut Explorer Air 2 for Christmas from my husband & Daughter. I didn’t think this would cut basswood or fabric and was considering on buying a Cricut Maker 3, in order to using these materials. I will be definitely searching for your other video, regarding all materials. So very helpful! ❤
Great presentation! I've tried many of the fabric options, to include freezer paper on both sides of the material. Ultra heat bond worked the best. If you use the Ultra heat bond though, you do not want to put that on your sewing machine. The needle will get gooey, and carry into your machine. Use a lighter bonding material that has instructions for sewing. I have not tried the lighter bonding yet.
I did the thick cardboard with settings of corrugated cardboard changed the pressure to 350 and added more pressure. I did go over it 3x and it made a good clean cut!
The fabric has to be bonded before cutting, instead of heat n bond I use pellon fusible interfacing/stabilizer and you can get it in different weights according to the type of fabric
You did explain and show us very well. I don't know how feel other people of buying this Cricut and its design space both are horrible to use. It is fine if you just buy it for home crafting as like personal use but no it's not for business or professional use
Everyone is commenting on your content, which is great by the way. However, I must admit that the best part of your content is obviously YOU. You are a goddess in case nobody has told you today. Thanks for the informative video and keep up the good work.
Good day Is it possible to cut different depths with you cricut maker. I love to work with craft foam. But sometimes you just want to make a line and don't want to cut threw the foam. I just want to line for the face not cut it out. Can someone help me with it please
Great video. I am looking on buying a cricut explore air 2. I'm interesting in making small shipping boxes. Have you tried little cascara's or crave'n pizza boxes. I want to use heat transfer vinyl too. Thanks for your help.
Thank you. I haven't tried it on pizza boxes but I think it might work if they're on the thinner side. If you plan on cutting thicker materials alot I would recommend the maker as it's made to cut thicker materials.
I know it's been 7 months n you've probably already found your answer. I just read that the regular Cricut Maker cuts basswood. That's the only Cricut machine that specifically says it cuts basswood in the description. Hope that helps even though I'm late to the party!
I think it's possible. It depends on what leather you use though. If it's too thick you might have to do it with a maker not the explore but, if you buy the cricut brand leather designed for explore machines you should be fine.
Happy Saturday everyone😁! I hope your weekend is going great! Wanted to share a materials test cutting video with you! If you have a cricut or plan on getting one I hope you find it helpful 🤗🥰
Love your bookmark. Very helpful video. Im trying cut 1mm acrylic and came upon your page

Would you try 10mil mylar plastic with a setting of 350 deep blade more pressure and a strong mat. Thank you
Super helpful
Can you please make a tutorial on how to make cut outs with regular printer paper and thinner construction paper and heavy weight construction paper
A deep point blade for the fabric works better on the explore.
How about polypropylene or transparencies

Can the cricut explorer air 2 cut walakut puff htv? If so what setting?
I want to make leather tags for handmade goods. Do you think it can make them?
The wood cutting is great! Will it cut basswood?

@@ac2586 That's right. Thank you for the response :)
Wich blade do I need for wood ? Please
What happened to the pink mat
Do you think 🤔 it’s possible to make a leather cover for a Bible?
I think it's possible. It depends on what leather you use though. If it's too thick you might have to do it with a maker not the explore but, if you buy the cricut brand leather designed for explore machines you should be fine.
You actually need to iron that freezer paper on at a 400ﾟ setting
I could not get mine to cut cardboard AT ALL as I was trying to make puzzles
Yes it won't cute regular cardboard. only the corrugated cardboard.
