How did you attach the skinny letter to the board?

Have you done this with laminated cardstock?

@paolavelasco2406 2 жыл бұрын

I have not, but you can do that. You just have to change the material dial setting to Cardstock+

You were a lifesaver for helping with a bulletin board - my daughter is a teacher and this saved so much time. Design to cut less than 2 hours.

2 questions. What paper do you use? And why does the font color matter if you're changing the paper anyway?

@paolavelasco2406 2 жыл бұрын

I used car stock. The font color matters and has to match the paper otherwise your machine will get confused and can’t cut

Hi, great tutorial for new cricut users. How can you add new fonts for the bulletin board letters?

@paolavelasco2406 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! You have to download the fonts you want from the internet on to your computer. My favorites are from A Perfect Blend and Amy Grosebeck on teacherspayteachers.com

Thanks! This was really helpful! Do you have a tutorial if I want each letter to be cut from a different color paper? I assume I would have to create 5 projects in a word with 5 letters? Looking for the best way to do this so I do not waste paper and am able to efficiently complete my project.

@paolavelasco2406 2 жыл бұрын

No need for multiple projects. Just one project :) All you do is click each letter that you want and change each letter to be whatever color and the cricut will sort the letters according to color! That way when you load your paper you would just load the different colored papers and the cricut will already have sorted each letter by color. In terms of wasting paper, you can cut the paper to fit the area that shows on your computer. Hopefully that makes sense.

Great tutorial! I just got an Explore 3 and I’m so excited to start using it for things in my classroom. This video helps so much!

@ericamay4489 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question: how do you stick the letters to the bulletin board? Do you use glue?

@paolavelasco2406 3 жыл бұрын

Usually I use staples if the letters are big enough. If you use glue or tape it can rip your bulletin board paper. If you don't care then you could totally glue. Stapling is just the fastest.

@amandavalencia2425 3 жыл бұрын

what setting did you use? My Cricut always tears my paper :(

@paolavelasco2406 3 жыл бұрын

I used card stock setting. Make sure your paper is stuck on your mat all the way and that the corners are flat. If not try switching to a different mat, they have different colors that are stronger or less sticky to prevent tearing

How did you get the thin letters to stay up? Stapler?

@paolavelasco2406 3 жыл бұрын

For the thin letters I used a small piece of poster putty on each corner of the letter! You can also use glue dots, but staples don’t work very well for the thin letters

Can I use a Cricut Joy to cut out the bulletin board letters?

@paolavelasco2406 3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can. The software is the same it’s just more challenging to use card stock or paper because you have to adjust the dimensions of the paper to fit inside the Cricut joy.

Did you laminate the letters?

@paolavelasco2406 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t usually laminate because of the glare and my letters don’t usually get ruined! But you totally can laminate the card stock first, then put it in your circuit to cut the letters.
