Cricut Magnet Sheets: How to Cut Magnets with a Cricut

[@CraftyKSLady]

Very happy to learn that the Cricut Explore and Maker can cut magnetic sheets! Thank you so much for this video! I love your videos because you explain the process of what you're doing so well and in depth.

[@AngieHolden]

Happy to help!

[@gentryluz]

Angi you never cease to amaze me this is perfect I am going to make some cards of my dogs and put them in the refrigerator Thank you so much for sharing

[@Karpongtero]

hi i checked cricut but i did not see thee 1.00 mm magnetic sheet material setting.

[@AngieHolden]

It was there on mine but they do change things all the time! You can try like a heavy cardstock setting depending on your magnet.

[@susanburton1174]

I have not set up my cricut explorer 3 yet, but when you say you ran the magnetic paper through your printer, you meant your actual laser home printer??

[@AngieHolden]

It is an inkjet printer but yes I printed on my home printer.

[@gabiiiriiivera]

hi! i'm curious: would applying a laminate to the vinyl + adhesive magnet sheet pre-cutting help in preserving the details once it's cut?

[@AngieHolden]

Oh maybe!

[@rosac8168]

What do the wheels have to do with certain cuts ? I’ve only don’t two cuts and never changed them but what is reason for that

[@AngieHolden]

They can dig in and marr thicker materials that are soft.

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

What will you do next!!! You always have the most up to date projects!! I love how your brain works because I could never come up with all these ideas!!! These are the cutest magnets ever!!! I love your bright colors. Guess I'll have to go update my color settings using your video!! Thank you so very much for everything you do!! 💖🎉💜💖🎉💜💖🎉💜💖🎉💜

Hi Angi.. what printer do you use to print on the printable magnet? Thanks

[@AngieHolden]

Making magnets is one of the reasons I bought the Cricut. Thank you for this video.

[@AngieHolden]

You are so welcome!

[@BrandoHoll]

Hi Angie! I've watched your video and purchased a deep-point blade and magnetic sheets. However, every time I try, my Cricut explore will not cut all the way through the magnetic sheet. Any tips on how to get this to work? Thank you!!

[@AngieHolden]

There is a thicker magnet sheet setting. Maybe try that one. You might have gotten thicker sheets than I have here.

[@pattysavino4641]

Thank you for this video! I am having an issue though when it comes to cutting. For some reason it is cutting each piece out of my design, not the perimeter. I am using the Avery magnet sheets. HELP!!!

[@amlaboy]

Change your design to cut then print and then flatten them.

[@AngieHolden]

Pick everything and click flatten to make it one piece.

[@joycezavala3803]

Hi! Love this.. I was trying to do my vinyl sticker paper on the magnet and when I do the cut for some reason it’s shifting.. I saw how you were not worried about lining yours up but mine didn’t cut exactly where my picture was. Any idea why?

[@AngieHolden]

A few things - if your sticker paper is shiny that will throw off the sensors. Cover the black lines with matte tape. Second you can calibrate print then cut and get it more accurate.

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

I have not seen you do a garden flags for the yard when you do your fall or Holiday Projects could you please do one. They carry Blanks on Amazon the blanks to make those garden flags please thank you.❤️

[@AngieHolden]

I have those on a list to do sometime! There are just so many things to get to!

Hey Angie, just in time, I bought some magnetic sheet and started thinking about how to ...... and then your video popped up! Love it! Thanks!

[@AngieHolden]

Yay! Good luck!

[@BrandySanchez-vk5sk]

how did you get it to cut blank magnet paper?

[@AngieHolden]

You would just do cut lines and cut the material.

[@lyndarandall211]

Thank you for this video. My mind is just exploding with ideas. Always informative. Blessings and stay safe 🤗💐

[@AngieHolden]

So glad!

[@Savageslim87]

Great video!! I’m wondering if there would be a way to get a gloss finish for it? Maybe a seal or clear adhesive vinyl over the image?

[@AngieHolden]

I would add a laminate layer over the top. There are several on the market.

[@patresaplus3274]

I love your videos, u give me so much courage to do so much crafting and for a moment I forget how busy I am… thx for so much content. It give me something to dream about lol

[@AngieHolden]

I'm so glad!

[@Undefined9]

What about the Cricut Joy?

[@AngieHolden]

I don't think it will work with this material.

[@Undefined9]

@@AngieHolden It should as long as it can hold the same blade as the other models, right?

[@michaelreuscher6345]

This is so cool. I used to print 8x10 photos at walmart, apply them to adhesive magnetic sheets and cut them all out by hand. That method took so much time and effort. I definitely want to try this method.

[@bobslfcu773]

I tried two sheets of Avery magnet sheets and the Cricut shredded both sheets. I used 1.0 and .5 settings. Any suggestions? The blade was a new deep cut Cricut blade.

[@AngieHolden]

My question would be how details your design was? Smaller details definitely will not work.

[@bobslfcu773]

@@AngieHolden It was an image inside a square box with rounded corners. I think it was the mat, It cut out the image correctly then destroyed it. I put it on a brand new green mat because that was the only new one and it worked. Thanx for the reply. I had it on a Stronggrip when it didn't work but it was a couple months old.

[@AngieHolden]

Ah yes that was probably it!

[@angelalong5784]

Awesome tutorial! I’ve always been curious about the Cricut!. I couldn’t believe that you made those magnets that easy💕

[@alisonjordan1152]

Very happy as I didn’t know you could do this. Iv got a maker 3 for Christmas 2021, not touched the box yet can’t wait until tomorrow. I do have an explorer air 2 but I can’t budge the rollers out of the way. Does anyone have any idea how to move them I would be grateful for your advice

[@AngieHolden]

Force. It is hard but they will move.

[@eranabramovich]

also what the difference between Bonded -Fabric Blade + Housing or the rotary blade which is used to cut fabric!? do i need them both? each for a different job?

[@AngieHolden]

Try this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZDbmICNlKt8g7M

[@donatskitchen]

It looks like you were able to print and cut a bit larger than what it allows me to do. Can you tell me how you got it to print larger? I feel like it wastes so much when you can't use most of the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. I'd hate to waste that much on a magnet sheet.

[@AngieHolden]

I just did the maximum which is 6.75 x 9.25 inches. By the time you get the box on there, that is a full sheet of paper.

[@eranabramovich]

Is the dip point blade is the black blade is needed to people who have the knife blade are these 2 for different applications!? if so i will order one since i got almost all of them but i thought the dip point is for the cricut models that don't have the knife blade.

[@AngieHolden]

They are two completely different applications. Fine point is what was with your machine. Deep point goes a little deeper and can be used with all machines. Knife blade goes really deep and is only used with the Maker.

[@mahannaUugly]

AMAZING! Much simpler tutorial and most helpful I've found. THANK YOU! Also LOVE your designs! So fun and cute!

[@rachelneighbors2277]

Hey! Thanks for your amazing video! Can I ask what are you cut settings on the cricut? Mine seems to do too many passes and the Edges buckle thanks!

[@AngieHolden]

I used the setting for magnets. You can click custom and set your own if you would like. Here is a video on how do to that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e564g2RsfbZgatE

I have not tried the pens. Sorry!

[@jenniemcfarling5652]

[@AngieHolden]

I have not tried that. Sorry!

[@kellyhurtado2916]

[@sdlepal]

Hello, thank you for this ! I love your video's, so easy to understand. However I don't understand how to put a text with the design. Mine just didn't print out readable. Also where does a person get designs for the magnetics?

[@AngieHolden]

You would need to flatten any text to a shape and turn off bleed. Try this one for making stickers to explain the design process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip6xeICgmrp2n9U

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

For the small intricate pieces on the spool 🧵 would you have done a offset to keep it attached. It looks so delicate, on the third method you done with the magnet sheets and printable vinyl sheet??

[@AngieHolden]

Oh yes you could have! I wanted to really test which method would get the best results for those wanting details though.

[@janellekm]

Thanks Angie for sharing your knowledge with us, making magnets myself is going to be fun! 😊 Hello from Queensland Australia

[@AngieHolden]

[@casseymont1990]

What cut settings did you use for the explore machine to cut the material?

[@AngieHolden]

There is a magnet setting for the Explore.

[@lorisabiniano3353]

Hello. I want to create my own magnet. How do I cut out the whole image and not the individual parts?

[@AngieHolden]

Flatten the pieces to a shape that you want to cut out. So pick all of your pieces plus say a circle and click flatten.

[@lorisabiniano3353]

Thank you Angie. And do I have to use the "offset?

[@AngieHolden]

You can use it if you want white around the outside. If you don't, you do not have to!

[@lorisabiniano3353]

Thank you

[@MsNattie216]

Love this! Thank you so much for the great ideas.

[@dpc-madebydpc]

Angie do you find it easier to do the printable adhesive magnetic sheets rather than the print then cut?

Hi! Thanks for another comprehensive video! I have magnet sheets that are the cricut brand. Can I use them? Embarrassed to admit that I have the deep cut blade but have not used it. Can it be used in the same housing as the fine point blade. I’m using a maker for this. You’re the best!

Yep you should be able to use those! I actually don't think they make that product any more or it has been out of stock for me for a while!

[@AngieHolden]

[@sueklosterman2936]

Angie, question for you. Do you think the blade you used here would cut thru thin cork adhesive that you line the bottom of coasters? Right now I have to attach them, then cut with exacto knife around the wooden 4” coasters. I think it would look nicer if these could be cut ahead of time and then attached. Just thought I would pick your brain. Thanks.

[@AngieHolden]

I have on my list to do a full video on cork. Yes this blade will cut it but the edges tend to be rough. I actually like the rotary blade for cork!

[@sueklosterman2936]

@@AngieHolden I got the rotary blade for my Maker. Hoping to try cutting the thin cork adhesive for the backs of my coasters. I didn’t see cork or cork board listed in materials. Do you have any tips for what material I should use? Which mat to use? I want to try this. TIA

[@nancylaanstra7063]

Hi Angie. I'm VERY new to circut!! I was wondering if the vinyl was the only way to go? Could you use photo paper instead?

I have never tried to draw on it. My guess would be that the pens would not dry on the surface.
