How to Engrave Dog Tags & Jewelry on a Cricut

[@cherylriverside355]

I’m so excited! I just engraved my first item and it turned out perfectly. I couldn’t have done it without your video and templates. Thanks to your video, I felt like I had a personal tutor. Thank you SO much!

[@brandicaldwell9829]

I just have to tell you that I love you so much!! Before I bought my first Cricut I watched a ton of videos to do my homework and I quickly discovered you. You are my ALL TIME FAVORITE person to watch on video. The information that you have provided to me has been invaluable and has made my cricut experience a wonderful one!! I actually just upgraded to the cricut maker! I love how you give all the information, but do it in a very simple, quick, and precise way. I always find out what I need to know from your videos and I learn something new every time I watch one! Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you do!! You have made my life so much easier and fun by watching your videos! I would love to meet you one day and be able to express my gratitude to you in person. Keep up the great work and know that what you do matters BIG!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much Brandi! This makes my heart happy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@carolcrowell6432]

Thank you, Jennifer, for all your hard work, tutorials and free library items. You are concise and encouraging. I only got my Maker 3 at Christmas … you have taught me so much. My sweet dog sadly passed away unexpectedly a few months ago. I ordered your Amazon name plate suggestion and will attempt to create a name plate for her ashes in a wooden box. Thanks again, so much.

[@lilyrettke5880]

Jennifer!!! WHY DIDN'T I WATCH THIS SOONER?!?!?! You just saved me... THANK YOUUU!

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm glad it was helpful! 💜

[@kentuckyhomegirl]

SIGH, I’ve yet to purchase the maker - it’s only the EA II that I’ve embraced. It looks like a maker lies in my future. I absolutely love and appreciate your kind soul and your desire to share what you love as well as your knowledge with so many who crave such information placed into step by step tutorials. I have been a silent watcher for so long and I had to mention this. You’re truly my favorite of this on YT. You’re appreciated. Hugs from Kentucky.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww, thank you, Stephanie! I am honored that you want to share the fun with me! :)

[@jjlovelovelovelove9266]

Oh Wow!! This is AMAZING!! You have NO clue how happy this video made me. My circuit maker is coming on Monday and I’ve came up with the idea of making my own labels for my bags. The thought of trying to afford them not only delayed me from starting but has stressed me out. This was so helpful and very informative, not to mention, very cool. This was a life saver and so are the Cricut machines. Thank you Jennifer 🙏🏾

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful! You are so welcome!

[@rinasmith3402]

Thank you for explaining this in a way that makes sense! I can’t wait to try this.

[@BuffyLynn]

Your the best!!! So glad to have you on KZbin to help me figure this out!😉😊

[@rondaschafer7780]

Great tutorial! I love how you walk us through how to put the materials on the mats and feeding it in the machine. Thanks!!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

I have to watch this after I gathers all the necessary pieces, cannot wait! Thanks so much for sharing your time and this information!!! Hugs!!!

[@mpatriciacasillas]

Jennifer your videos are just fabulous! Can't wait to use my new tips!

[@robins262]

Hi Jennifer, i have always found youtube to be the best tool in the toolbox, and i have now discovered the best demonstrator. Your cricut presentations are masterful without any waffle at all. Thanks very much from the UK

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you! 🌸

[@daunakammerer2206]

Jennifer THANK YOU!!! I made a bracelet for my sister after watching this tutorial. it came out beautiful!

[@goldberie1]

Another clear, quick moving video explaining something I thought would be much more difficult. I didn’t think about centering the blanks on the mat, sure glad you did! I ordered some blanks last week then realized I didn’t know how to line up the type in them! Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

[@jaclynstoner6633]

Thank you so much for mentioning that you only need to purchase the tip if you already have the scoring tool bc I was about to buy the whole thing.. Haha you probably just saved me 50 dollars! Thank you again! Love your videos.. 😊

[@sherriabell5958]

What would we do without you!you are a blessing

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww...thank you so much! 💚

[@janegalway6094]

TFS have been a little Leary of trying to use the engraving tip, you make it look easy!

[@simplycatalinacreates7680]

The most in depth tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you SO much. I just got a maker yesterday and I am SO excited & watching all your videos!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 🌸

[@sandiwoolridge6238]

Your videos are so fantastic and you make them really easy to follow!

[@Sujichan]

You have no idea how much this helped! My first attempt was a failure despite taping, but I wasn't doing it right. The centering trick was a life saver! Thank you so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! So glad it worked!

[@FFMMA]

Jennifer, thank you so much. Your videos are so helpful. They're my "study sessions" to learn more about the cricut maker. :) Keep up the great work.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@DianChapman]

Your videos are AMAZING! So detailed and informative. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your expertise and also your files in your library. I've only had my Maker (and now Joy) for a few weeks, but friends are already calling me an expert! HA...and it's only because of all the info I've learned from you! Thanks SO much!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome, Dian! My heart smiles when I hear of someone becoming an expert to their friends with my help! This is what I LOVE to do! 😍

[@abbystone5738]

Thank you Jennifer!! You're always so clear and I appreciate that.

[@lisamcanespy3645]

Had to make tag for a friend as a gag gift. Followed the tutorial along with you...and just caught myself before I hit the Go button. I had typed Hunter instead of the name I needed! Awesome tutorial!!!🥰

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh no, lol!

[@thomasinerushing5642]

Great tutorial! Thanks for explaining everything so well!

[@elliemcgettigan4366]

I did my first engraving after watching your video. They came out so nice. I was wondering why a couple were slightly off - you answered exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for another great video!!

[@JenniferMaker]

So happy to help! 😊🌻

[@giftdiva8506]

I was just trying my engraving tool and could not get the thing to line up with my project, this video is literally right one time!! Thank you!

[@Nordikelle]

Thank you very much for accepting me and for the template. Really informative video and super easy to follow

This ability is the one have been waiting for since I got my explore air 2.

[@cathymiller4489]

I don't know how I missed this video as I am subscribed but once again, your details in projects saves us so much time. Thank-you so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh no! Make sure to turn on the bell notifications! That will ensure that you get notified every time I post a new video 😊

[@cathymiller4489]

I have it on but just must have accidentally deleted it. It must have been close to other posts that I deleted. I do unsubscribe to some people but it takes a while for them to stop posting, according to them. I know when I view your posts because I have been following you for two years and always thumbs up since I purchased Cricut Explore Air 2. Your name popped up first and I've followed ever since.

[@gprewett9036]

What great timing, I just ordered the engraving tip for my Maker! Hooray, thanks for the great tutorial!

[@xMARZILLAx]

Great tutorial! So clear and easy to follow! Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kimberlyneubauer2561]

Love it! You were so thorough! It was fun seeing you engrave different items 😊 Glad you mentioned the font pricing vs free with access. I see people get confused on that so often! Looking forward to your working with leather or faux leather!

[@MegMilli813]

Awesome idea! I was just going to purchase one for my dog since we’re moving to a new neighborhood.... nope. Thanks to you I’ll be making it myself

[@bonniehewett1494]

I made one and the metal was completely covered with scratches in very little time. I wonder if sealing it with something would help.

[@Personalleigh]

You are awesome...i was having such a hard time centering my items...and you provided a GREAT TUTORIAL....thank you Jennifer!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 💜

[@hsepulveda1]

Where can you get the leather to engrave on? I love the idea of personalied keychains, etc. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@billiejeanescarsega5948]

hi Ms. Jeannifer thank you for the video i did my first engraved tag ! and thank you also for what you do for us.

[@rosemason2071]

Do you have a tutorial for the engraving tool on the air 2.

[@wolfwidow4813]

I'm not sure Rose but I think only the Maker engraves.

[@Kyledaniels85]

Yes only the maker can only engrave

[@mikeblankenship8040]

yes thank you worked awesome thank you ;}

[@joecornejo7454]

Not true, i was told the air 2 engraves. that's the mane reason y i got that one

[@Kyledaniels85]

Joe Cornejo I was talking about this particular vid and the tool she used in this vid is for the maker only. Yes you can get an off brand engraving tip for air 2 but the air 2 dome not have as much pressure as the maker

[@jnetberry8272]

I love your videos. So easy to follow and having the camera shot from above...sooo helpful!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! I'm happy that makes it easy for you!😍

This is my first time watch one of your videos and I absolutely love your very easy style of teaching - which is why I have chosen to subscribe to your channel and download your videos, as I know nothing about the Cricut and all it does!! I do not currently own a Cricut but am in the plans of hopefully purchasing one very soon, so please keep those videos coming as I will need all the help I can get!!! Thanks!!

Hi Jennifer, just got the engraving tool for Christmas and your video is awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you.......you are awesome.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! You're going to love that engraving tool! :-)

[@sandierads4223]

I loved this tutorial and how pleasant and thorough you are. I immediately subscribed to your channel. I have had my Maker for about a year and it makes me feel intimidated so I tend to put it away and not use it even though I have a million ideas of things to do. Right now I’m only making t-shirts, but the dog tags are my next project this weekend and you made it look so easy and I love the step by step so thank you so much!!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! Hopefully I can help you not feel so intimidated! Thank you for your support! ❤️

I've always wanted to make these dog tags.

[@JenniferMaker]

They are so much fun!

[@treceeden]

Love this tutorial! The only thing that I think is missing is the instruction to be sure you measure the item on which you are engraving and make sure your word is measured out to that size before you go to the "make it" step. I followed all the steps exactly, then when I went into the "make it" step stopped myself before cutting & measured, then when back and adjusted the size of my word to fit my little disk. Saved me from messing it up and turned out not bad for my first try at this. Can't wait to do more!

[@JenniferMaker]

The old suggestion about "measure twice, cut once" certainly does apply to engraving, Trece! Glad your first try turned out well! 😍

[@SAWatts-jf4mu]

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! I'm excited to start engraving. Great tutorial

Thanks for the tips! Ill be trying on dog tags tonight🤞

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Hope you enjoy! :)

[@bdaypartyspanish]

Yes! It all worked pretty well. 2 problems i worked out- 1. the masking tape mustve been too sticky because i peeled it off and about 50% of the glue spots on the mat came up too :-( changwd the tape & better. 2- even though it was centered on the mat it kept engraving a tad high. So the 3rd time i centered it horizontally but a bit high to compensate and engraved on center

[@lenarich3403]
