Cricut Maker for Beginners: How to Engrave a Dollar Tree Chopping Mat

[@Ladybear06]

This would be great to do cursive for the kids that never learned cursive

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That's a great idea 💡

[@Angel-TCCrafts2]

What a great idea… i wouldnt change a thing. It was easy to follow ❤

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@theresaforte2202]

That turned out great! That’s a great idea to make for various practicing templates! Such as the child’s name, even phone numbers & address… ect!

[@wattsinit4u709]

I would laminate it. Then the expo markers can be erased easily. Great job!

Hello Delonda and everyone

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there

[@aliciahernandez-ns9kp]

Thank you so much for this video my son Victor non- verbal autism this is so helpful, amazing , my school district gave up on my son and he just goes straight to the seclusion room till I pick him up, he's so board, so I am teaching and working with him this summer, I so appreciate this project . again Thank You. I can see so much I can do shapes, and beginning pictures. My mind is blown what a great tool.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Awe! I'm sorry to hear that he isn't getting what he needs at school. The possibilities are endless with quick and easy project. I'm glad you found it helpful.

[@aliciahernandez-ns9kp]

@@CraftingwithDelonda I will share when I get some done already went to dollar tree got a whole bunch, and some magic erasers.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

@aliciahernandez-ns9kp awesome!

[@Ezratruth]

Thanks Delonda, that was an awesome idea. I have have a few little ones that I can make learning mats for❤

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You are so welcome!

[@Grannyoftwo]

I wouldn’t change a thing. Perfect. I have a four year old granddaughter who this would be perfect for. She can write letters but not in a straight line so this would surely help her with that problem. Thank you so much for the video.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You're very welcome! I hope you got the file also!

[@Grannyoftwo]

@@CraftingwithDelonda I will get it. Thank you.

[@juliemaimone3214]

I did my nephew’s name and wrote the names of colors under the shapes too, so he could practice recognizing color words. I also engraved the rougher side so he wrote on the smoother side. I gave him a set of wet-erase markers with a finer tip because they don’t smear as much. You just use a damp cloth to “erase” it when he’s done.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing that idea.

[@lakeishahale32]

Video is right on time need to make one of these for my neighbor

[@AuntWanda]

Hi everyone

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

[@MakingwithMarilyn]

Great idea! And those Magic Erasers are the real deal!!! I love them.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes they are! The magic erasers can be used for anything, lol!

[@aliceb8950]

What a good idea. I will try this.

[@easterngirlzCrafting]

Such an amazing idea going to make one for my grandson

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much!

[@easterngirlzCrafting]

@CraftingwithDelonda you have taught me so much to start my own Lil crafting projects and trying to start my Lil own business here where I live. So thank you so much for all you do. Even though I'm disabled and I can't afford to pay for classes or the subscriptions I try to do what I can.

[@carol-annridler3560]

Fantastic idea! Thank you 😊

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You're welcome

[@ownetz156]

I think this will be perfect for our great granddaughter. Thanks so much. Jenienne from Shreveport, La

[@josettelovercheck3165]

Delonda, this is amazing! I can not wait to use with my son who will be entering KDG this fall. Thanks for helping to combat the summer slide! This would be a great center activity too!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@JudyAngelman]

Very nice!

[@KristenCenci]

What a fun project. Wish I had some littles to make this for. Would think it would be neat to add the recipient’s name.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you! I think so too.

[@b.cotton677]

[@ebonyfreeman7887]

I love this idea. Can you share more about why you mirrored the image?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you. I mirrored it so that the writing is on the smooth side instead of the engraved side.

[@merediths9698]

This is a fantastic idea!! I love it!

I love this idea. The only thing I may add is the child's name...or just leave it like that.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@corrier5954]

Could you engrave on the rougher side? Thinking would be easier to wipe ink off smooth side. 🤔

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That's what I did.

[@keziyahisrael3884]

Nice! How do you get dafonts directly to Design Space?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]
