DIY Engraving Acrylic Invitation with Cricut

[@chidinmaokafor733]

Thank you, friend! This was such a helpful (and calming) tutorial. 😊

[@preshuzchic]

Thank you for the this video! I'm wondering how it would look if you mirror it and paint from the back of the acrylic?

[@thefonsifam4479]

That's a great idea, I'll be trying that very soon

[@g0ds_child17]

Question: maybe I’m Missing this or misunderstanding this. BUT what needle are you using. I don’t see where it’s specified. Or is this the regular bleeding that comes with the machine? TIA

What tool did you use to engrave the acrylic? Was it just the normal blade??

Hi Deya I'm using the Engraving tip by Cricut.

How long do you wait after you put the paint on to wipe it off with the cotton shirt?

[@thefonsifam4479]

It's quick before it drys on the rest of the acrylic. You put the paint on and wipe it right off.

[@craftyworkingmama]

@@thefonsifam4479 ok thanks. I am going to try it for my brother wedding invites but wasn’t sure how long to leave it. Do you use anything to help clean off any access paint that is on the acrylic?

[@thefonsifam4479]

@@craftyworkingmama If it dries up I use a wipe and then dry it with a cotton t-shirt. I try not to go over the lettering with the wipe since it leaves little strips of the wipe material.

How did you make the design ?

[@thefonsifam4479]

I use google search and look for the image I like. I then fix everything together in the Cricut design space. I also use images that are already in The Cricut system

I attempted to engrave it and my engraving came out grainy, the paint made it look blotchy. Idk what I did wrong. 😭

[@thefonsifam4479]

I use the paint from target called mondo llama, so far it's the only one I like. Try going for solid color that don't contains glitter or shimmer.

What cricuit do you have

[@trevorrichard4710]

It shows ‘maker’ on her computer when it asks her to select an accessory, so I’m pretty sure it’s the cricut maker.
