I will say this probably makes sense to some one who has and uses these because I'm half lost but my brother got me one for Xmas and now I'm watching videos to prep.

[@kimercam]

Ditto! 😅

[@JayDeeDubb]

Same girl! I literally just opened mine and I’m binge watching videos. 😂

[@loristrout4741]

It is way easier to use than you think. If you have a newer machine everything will really be intuitive. I was making t-shirts before my first week was over. last Christmas from November 1st I made 42 Exploding Christmas Boxes and sent them all out before December 15th. All had different decorations in them. no 2 alike. all made of paper and glued together using Barely Art Glue love that stuff.

[@maria9704]

No idea 😂

[@roxanne1092]

I got one too. I just got lucky and bought the biggest easy press 2, brand new for 100$ on marketplace. A beautiful human helped me with a dream. I am truly indebted to her.

[@Jazzyjay2026]

Tell me why I’m over here trying to go to sleep and when I came across this vid, I DARTED to my crafting room and tried this?!?

[@artcano5682]

did it work?

Ok. My guess is general anxiety disorder.

I hang mine from a hook, then it's easier to line up the hole and place the cover on.

[@DanceArchives24]

Thats a good idea!

[@rae081098]

I’m new to cricut use and don’t understand what this does.

[@kristinezitny8481]

I remoisten My board with Elmers glue sticks and they last forever

[@ribbroidery]

Wouldn’t it leave a greasy tacky white surface?

[@XerpollAnimation]

Great tip, do you let it dry before using?

[@Shuggies]

YOU NEEEED TO MAKE A VIDEO.. I NEED TO SEE IT DONE GURL. 😮

[@katvazquez]

I need to try that have a lot of used ones

[@KathleenMc73]

Zig glue pens work well as they dry tacky.

[@Binmadding]

Been trying so hard then I realized you have a maker not a explorer 2 😂

[@missrissa2265]

Yesss!!!! My new favorite hack.😊

[@joycebarker2288]

For weeding bits took a margarine pot , cut across it 4 ways.there we go all bits in it

[@HeatherOrdover-CraftLit]

I want to see this!!!

[@tonyelleevans3322]

@joycebarker2288 By "margarine pot," do you mean a butter tub? Then cut an X in the lid for the tip of your weeding tool? Am I understanding you correctly?

[@nona104]

Also to go along with this hack- while you’re using the mat ,slip the clear cover of the mat in the hinge of the cover of the Cricut when the Cricut is opened.

[@officermeyer]

Smart. I slide the cover under the machine

[@PreciousTristina]

Whaaaat! Thank you for this hack! If you know then you know lol You are a genius 🧠

[@MC.makeitmagical]

Am I missing something..... I don't see any hacks . 👎🤦‍♀️

[@joaquinzamora9873]

I’m glad I found someone that thought the same 😂💀

[@benm1414]

🖐️ Same. I feel like it would be more difficult to put the mat cover on if you're also fighting gravity? 😂

[@kikiflash8156]

I would still mess this up

[@plantation2022tv]

Flipper zero can hack an cutting machine?

[@lukevmh]

protects the mat from losing stickiness while being stored.

[@missychan63]

That's not the hack... everyone knows you're supposed to put that cover back over the mat. The hack seems to be putting the mat in the phone / tablet slot and using it to line up the plastic cover sheet. I've had seven of these machines and not once - NEVER-have I needed some sort of hack to put the cover sheet back on. Line up the corners or one of the edges and just lay it down. If putting the protective sheet back on the mat is such a problem, maybe people shouldn't be buying these machines 😂.

[@escapedgoat5865]

​@@missychan63 I kinda feel like you can just do this on the table like normal

[@Dreamy-writer]

@@missychan63 yet judging by all of the positive comments, I'd say this video helped out many people, so mission accomplished for the original poster

[@HeatherOrdover-CraftLit]

It never occurred to me that was a phone/tablet stand-or a mat holder!!! 😂 But I bought used with no manual so I’m definitely on the Long road towards mastery.

[@theadventurer3234]

If you put attack on the wall hang the green that first and then hang the plastic polls Raiden please if you don’t have the updated one

[@pinknailsonlyy]

Lmao yea cuz I was definitely struggling my first time 😂😂

[@robbiemerriweather7093]

I totally needed to see thos 5 minutes ago 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@musa3039]

Can you make a tutorial for using it i got one and i’m not that good at it 😅😊

[@amaria164]

Is this just for the maker? Can you use it on an air 2?

[@BBhandcraftedwithlove]

Glad I watched this. Thank you so much! ❤

[@aleciamickelsen4473]

What is the hack?

[@Aild818]

The plastic piece she adds on top, it’s to protect it and make it stay sticky. But when you try to put it on it’s really hard lining it straight with the mat and it’s often at a angle

[@Aild818]

So, it makes it easier to put on

[@dapoet200]

What is the plastic she's using?

[@Aild818]

@@dapoet200 it’s just a really thin plastic sheet?

[@lindouglass4115]

I don't have issues lining it up by just having the mat flat and putting the plastic sheet back on. Do many actually have that much trouble? I'm glad it always lines up for me

[@MaddieRae_Designs]

I thought I was the only slow biscuit that couldn't get the protective cover on evenly

[@reeprint2720]

Thank you so very much for this hack. I have the cricut maker 3. Owners of the same cricut as mine, can do this also!

[@jonathangorman6902]

[@snoozy37]

Do you put transfer tape on the grip mat before you put your vinyl on?

[@AlexaPeterson-bg7mz]

Wait I threw out the clear cover cuz I thought it was packaging 😖

[@907Ronald]

I just line the holes up at the top and BAM...lined up. But this is cool and I would probably use it if I didn't have my method. ✌🏾 from Alaska.

[@AuntLALA]

Can someone tell me what the hack is? I'm new to this

Bruh. What?! Thanks so much!!

I guess this all the time since I saw it

Do I actually need the mat?

[@Offical_Comedic_Relief]

how on earth do u keep ur mats so clean-

[@clementine6263]

You can use baby wipes on them it works well and it doesn’t make the mats less sticky

@@clementine6263 h u h thx for the tip

When u look on your cricut explore air 2😭

Great

[@atthismoment3006]

is that true? what type of glue stick?

[@morgannwilliams967]

Ummmm so people don’t know how to line their mats up normally without just flipping it upside down? 🤔

[@queenrae91]

Does this sheet always have to go back on the mat? I’m new to cricuit. And tips would help. Also what is this sheet called? One came with my cricut. Just want to put a name to it

[@Janet-re4bu]

Yes, always put the mat cover back over your mat to protect it from dust,etc. It will extend the life of your mats by keeping them cleaner!

[@queenrae91]

Waste of time. Lay on table lay liner on top. Press. Done. Could cover two in the amount time this took.

Thank you! I was just trying to reposition the plastic but it still wasn't on evenly and now I see this 😂✨

[@bouquetetc]

To go mat-less., You would have to buy the expensive Smart Vinyl.

[@honeyboo14324]

What's the other sheet?

[@Dreamy-writer]

Do you mean the clear sheet that they put on the mat? That's just the cover sheet that comes with each mat
