How to reduce static problems with shaker cake toppers

[@torik.stripe2907]

Thank you for this! I was told to use an embossing buddy on the acetate but it causes the shakers to look "dusty" on the inside. I'm definitely gonna try the rubbing alcohol! That's brilliant!

Thank you for the video! I've been Cricut-ing for awhile but just venturing into cake toppers. So much fun! Might turn into the side business I've been mulling!

[@zeenat174]

Thank you. I do make cake toppers and from time to time shaker ones and I’ve had sticking problem. So will try window cleaner 😊

[@CraftaraCreates]

So glad this was helpful for you!

[@annekeschep8148]

Thank you for testing these methods! I see other ideas in the comments too. Going to try some too. Thanks👍

[@CraftaraCreates]

Excellent!

[@carmencrosier1455]

That was super interesting. I have not done any shaker cards yet, I have only had my Cricut for a few months now. So this is super helpful as they look like a lot of fun and I'm excited to try one.

How deep did you do the second batch that you tested?

[@CraftaraCreates]

Excellent question Shawn! The deeper shakers are just a hair over a 1/4 an inch.

thanks for testing these methods I use alcohol to clean my acetate tfs hugs

[@shellylisano19]

It would be interesting to see how New & Used Dryer sheets compare to the Rubbing alcohol.

[@CraftaraCreates]

Yes, that would be a good comparison. I tried a new dryer sheet in the past and it left residue on the acetate. Its possible I rubbed the acetate to strong with the dryer sheet.

[@laurafox916]

I'm wondering if an anti static bag would work like the ones you use before embossing with embossing powder.

[@CraftaraCreates]

Great idea! I'd love to give try too.

[@ruthnagus3035]

many craft sites seem to use a small pouch with cornstarch in it to remove static by rubbing over the acetate. Have you tried that?

[@CraftaraCreates]

I've seen those too! If I ever come across one at the craft store I may grab it. I've never tired one.

[@kathywilson2877]

I use a dryer sheet to remove static

[@CraftaraCreates]

Another great idea! Do you ever have issues with residue left on the acetate from the dryer sheet? I've experienced the residue before with a brand new dryer sheet.
