- Did you know that you can cut cardboard on a Cricut machine? Today we are using the Maker and a knife blade to cut cardboard boxes on a Cricut. Cutting corrugated cardboard on a Cricut is actually fairly easy and a great way to recycle your boxes into something amazing! In this video, I am making a mini donut pinata as an example but you can make any cardboard craft you can imagine!

Awesome! I always forget what I can cut with my maker ! I can’t wait to make things. Ty for the project
Cool project! Thanks Angie! 👍👍
I never thought of cutting cardboard with my Cricut. I'll have to start saving cereal boxes. What a cute Pinata. Thanks for sharing Angie.
Recycled crafts are the best!
Wow... thanks for the great tutorial! This is a very cute party favor!
That's cute! Thanks for the great tips!
I'm so happy I found your channel
Once again Angie, very detailed tutorial. Thank you, Brenda
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. This was very interesting and helpful.
Love Love Love cutting cardboard with my Cricut. You can get such interesting stuff. You had me at donut 😊. Thanks again!
Everyone loves donuts!
What a fun idea! I think I would like a mini donut pinata for myself!! Great tips and information.
Everyone needs one!
Oh yes, I had epic fail several times cutting cardboard on my cricut Explore One. Thank you for this video. Great detail and content.
Glad it was helpful!
You explain everything so well, thank you. I was watching Makers Gonna Learn but I like you better
Thank you!
Thank you, Angie, for this video! I had no idea!!! Heading to my machine know to try cutting some bunny shapes. :)
Bunnies are a great idea!
Cute idea! I can’t help put think of using it as a tambourine. Nice explanation for using cardboard.
Glad it was helpful!
I love this ideal and recently purchased the Cricut Maker, will due this for my daughter N Law baby shower-gender reveal in July , Your wonderful thank you so much 🤗❣️
I wanted a pinata, I can make my own now. Thank you for the video
Yes you can!
Thank you I’ve been looking for this.
Glad I could help!
Great idea! I've been using offset with card stock...this is better!
Thank you for breaking down how to cut cardboard. I was never sure how thick mm really are 😆😅
Happy to help!
Thanks for this tutorial. It's the missing link in designinglarger projects!
Sorry! Fixed that!
i like your video😁
Oooo la la YES!!!
Love it! Angie where did you order the baseball tee you’re wearing and can you sublimate on that color??
Yep! It is a Cricut shirt for Infusible Ink but it works for sublimation. Just remember the grey will show through so pick your design and colors wisely.
Hi Angie, thanks for your informative videos. Will the Maker cut through 400gsm kraft card (a stiff card less than 2 mm thick). I'm trying to decide whether the maker or a craft laser is better for my projects. I want to print and cut, but am not sure cricut provides the kraft card in the thickness I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any info.
More than likely it would but you may have to use the knife blade to do so.
💜💜
You are a great explainer and this is excellent. What I really want to do is to create my own original files in Procreate that become 3D animals with slots that the legs go into, then upload to Cricut Design Space and cut out the pieces from cardboard. Do you have any experience with creating your own designs?
Sure! I draw in procreate then take it into a program like Adobe illustrator to translate it into an SVG then upload.
Hi Angie, what setting do you use to cut heavy weight crepe paper on Cricut Maker? I changed setting to more pressure on the crepe paper material, but still not a clean cut. Do I need to change my rotary blade?
Hmmmm....I haven't cut any that is heavy weight. Did you try like the cotton fabric setting?
@@AngieHolden hi Angie, I did try cotton….worked much better with more pressure setting. I am using Lia Griffith’s new heavy weight crepe that is a little thicker than some others…her team said they use the denim setting with less pressure. Thank you for your help. Love your Chanel👍🏻
Any chance you can use a deep point blade to cut cardboard on the air 2?
I don't like the way it cuts corrugated but you can cut like pizza boxes with even the fine point blade.
Will foam core like poster board cut this way?
You have to find a thin foam core. The sheets sold near the poster board are too thick.
Thank you for this tutorial. I found that the boxes that the Cricut Mystery Box works very well. Pinata's away!
They TOTALLY work great!
I don’t understand why cricut has the knife blade and the deep point blade I had boughten the deep point thinking that it did all the things that I eventually figured out the knife blade actually does
They are two different things.
someone can help me. I have a Cricut Explor 2 and I can't cut fin cardboard. What settings should I use to cut the cereal box cardboard? thanks.
Try a kraft board setting instead.
Selecting light chipboard my maker force me to use the fine point blade , I could use the deep point blade but inserting the knife blade upon controlling the blade prior to cut the machine stops ... what am I doing wrong?
You have to use the blade the machine calls for. You may have an "edit tools" button where it asks for the blade. If you don't, you will have to pick another material setting to trick your machine.
@@AngieHolden thanks Angie, gonna do some experimenting real soon ..
So how come when I google which blade to use, I'm told to use the "deep point blade" for cardboard?
You can use that. Cutting cardboard is something that is a bit different and will vary. I am giving my experience.
@@AngieHolden I see, because I’m trying to buy these expensive blades in chunks and the next thing I want to cut is cardboard, so figuring out which is most effective is a bit stressful 😅 thank you!
Hi could you used explorer 2
I talk about that during the video. You would have to cut just like cereal boxes which I don't cover in this video.
My explore 3 says it will cut cardboard. Not with a knife blade though. Has anyone tried it?
I talked about this a bit in the video. It is going to be more like the cardboard that a frozen pizza comes in.
Thank you for the video! I see that knife blade is no longer available. Is there another blade that is good for this job?
The knife blade is still available. It may be sold out where I link but I am sure you can find it from another source.
