Engrave & Cut Shrink Plastic with the Cricut Maker (Custom Pet tags and Keychains)

#shrinkplastic #cricut #jdiction
Hi guys! I made a bunch of cute custom pet name tags and keychains with shrink plastic using the engraver tool on the Cricut Maker. I had so much fun with this project! If you're new to shrink plastic, I highly recommend watching my Shrink Plastic for Beginners Video: • Shrink Plastic for Beg...
I always seal my shrink plastic before applying resin because it acts like a base coat; it makes the resin stick better to the plastic. It also seals the alcohol marker ink. I linked the one I’m currently using below.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...

I feel like every video of yours is a free class, I love that so much. thank you for posting

[@carrie0]

My shrink plastic just came in the mail last night! I’m so excited to play with it! Love your videos!

[@Frouza21]

I never put my thought into how this pet's necklaces are made. So interesting!

[@christyalexia]

BROOOO this is SO COOL! Thanks so much for sharing this process!

[@MileyonDisney]

You are so clever. Cute kitty.

[@jessibellxo]

I am working toward starting my own small business and i just have to say your videos are SO HELPFUL. Hands down the best tutorials I've seen for this kind of thing. THANK YOU!

[@AmyMade]

Thank you so much!

[@colors4vana293]

this video came at the perfect time! i just discovered i could use my cricut to cut shrink plastic but all the tutorials i saw on google said i needed a deep cut blade.

[@uriort]

Thanks

[@carolstewart1704]

WOW!! Miss Amy u never cease to amaze me!! Tyssssm for all your wonderful tutorials!! 🥰 Sincerely! 😘

[@kellyjean4981]

Great amount of information, thank you. The tags all turned out so adorable. My sons name is Meeko, although spelled Miko

[@cherylh3845]

What a great idea! Your tags all came out great! I think you can duplicate the shape layer and stack them so it does the cut only with multiple passes (as many as you stacked).

[@cerealnana]

So cool! Wish I had a maker!

[@amberlindsey7112]

That is my cat's name. Thanks for showing this and thanks so much for noting the size to start with. I never remember how much it shrinks.

[@KrystieOctober]

Amazing! They are sooo beautiful! 😭 This was so helpful!

[@prempremglamourz1]

This is so beautiful and lovely. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

[@Ocean_Green]

This is so cute! 😃

[@lonelyingorg3ous]

You are so creative!

[@theladybaltimore]

You can duplicate the cut layer and attach to get a second pass, or you can create a custom cut setting.

[@JuniorsArtandDIY]

Wow it's amazing

[@hayleywright2966]

I guess if you don’t have engrave you can shrink the plastic, print the name on vinyl at shrunk size and stick on then dome with resin? Great ideas! I make resin dog tags and am new to cricut so this looks a fun project that won’t use tons of resin

[@AmyMade]

Thank you and yes! I did that with my Disneyland cast member badges;Vinyl adhesive for the texts! The only problem with that is, you can’t go too small

[@hayleywright2966]

@@AmyMade thanks for that tip! It makes sense! I have a big dog so will do for him and until I can afford engraving tool 😂

[@sirt358]

Wow. Loved the video. Thanks you so much.

[@sirt358]

When do you sand your shrink paper?

[@AmyMade]

Thank you! I sand it before I use it

[@chiiapets]

ur so creative whaaat

[@shellylugani5216]

Nice tutorial!!! Would definately try :)

[@mozu-chan]

I love everything you create! They are amazing. Also if it's okay i would like to ask a question: everytime i use uv resin, it gets super bubbly and i couldn't find anything to get rid of them. Could you give any advices?

[@AmyMade]

Thank you! To battle bubbles in uv resin, you can use a heat gun or a torch! Also letting it rest before curing helps the bubbles to release on their own

[@glchild251]

Awesome job. Where did you get your clasp from?

[@user-gt9em2mp1d]

I enjoyed the video! Can I get the information on the necklace string at the end?

[@Wushu17]

Great video. I'm a newb, but can the Cricut engrave on other plastics? For instance, I have a keychain that has a flat surface that I'd like to engrave line art on, will the Cricut support that? Thanks

[@AmyMade]

Yes you can!

[@AmyChappell]

Thank you. Can we also use the Silhouette Cameo for this type of engraving?

[@AmyMade]

I don’t have a silhouette cameo but From what I just looked up, I believe you can!

[@AmyChappell]

@@AmyMade thank you!

[@aphios2]

Limbo is KZbin famous!

[@elizabethnewell3133]

You can also set a custom material and set it to repeat the cut a ton of times, which helps. What was the padded tool you used on the jump rings called? I need one! Thanks for great video.

[@Nina-2311]

Hello! Omgsh ❤️ this video! Question. Have u tried doing like a print a design on a shrink wrap & then cut & engrave? I wanna try it but idk how🤔

[@AmyMade]

Never tried it! I think shrink wrap plastic would be too thin to use

[@theladybaltimore]

How did the tag hold up over time?

[@SuperBallbag]

How do you colour your resin?

[@tatianarucavado9021]

Thanks so much for this amazing tutorial. Quick question what temperature and time did you used. Thanks 🌹

[@AmyMade]

350F until the plastic shrinks

[@laissenver]

What sealer sprays do you recommend?

[@totzoz]

Great video as always Amy! do you know if cricut explore air 2 cuts shrink plastic? and can I cut shaker pvc sheets with a cricut? I think it'd be much more efficient if I used it instead of drawing each shape and cutting them with scissors😩

[@AmyMade]

Thank you! And yeas air 2 can cut shrink plastic but you can’t engrave it

[@totzoz]

@@AmyMade thank you!

[@monz013]

Can you do a video using printable shrink plastic to make this kind of charms :) Thank you so much :)

[@bonnie_15]

Hi. What did you use to seal it when you used the alcohol markers? TIA

[@jasminemaymedinamoronggonz3849]

This is a kind. Of plastic ???? Like plastic in swimming rings ?

[@Pom88pom]

Really cool….what does doming with resin mean? Does it mean basically making a little bubble over the top of your piece? With the resin?

[@AmyMade]

Yes basically!

[@kellyjean4981]

Yes, it’s basically putting a thin layer of resin on top of the piece, to add thickness, protection or shine.

[@nasreenbegum6616]

Hello ma'am can I use resin in my same room where I use to stay

[@cute.vic.gaming]

How much time it take to create one tag? Thanks

[@Wrightn221]

Where did you get the shirt file? Thanks for the tutorial?

[@AmyMade]

From the design space database

[@Wrightn221]

@@AmyMade thanks

[@2amcraftclub594]

Hello! Would this project be doable on the Maker 3 model?

[@AmyMade]

Yes…this project is for cricut maker only

[@maryamalzaabi1363]

after i click on weld , the picture has change the color, why? :(

[@ceciletsante4906]

my alcohol ink is so splotchy after i bake my pieces!! what can I do? I spray the sealer and everything and it looks terrible😭

[@downinthevalley9757]

could you possibly duplicate the shape to make it cut more without having to start over every time?

[@AmyMade]

Yes you can. But hatch filling, you have to upload new one each time which gets tedious

[@veerenderkaur2265]

Which material shrink plastic is that

[@AmyMade]

It’s shrink plastic lol
