HOW TO ENGRAVE DOG TAGS WITH THE CRICUT MAKER + BEGINNER FRIENDLY TUTORIAL

[@planningrisa2]

I’d love to see this done with an Explore 2 as well! Also, maybe one tip for getting the fragments/dust off - just use the blue painters tape that was just used to hold the tag down.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Great idea!!!

[@salvatoreattinello3942]

Yes. I would love to see how to do this with Explorer as well

[@Bassman46]

Made these last year for my dogs and my friends dog, they looked great, great job thanks for refreshing my memory 👍🏻

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Awesome!! They really turn out cool!

[@KellyStodola]

Scan your tag and then get a traced shape so you can make a template. Cut the tag out of a thick piece of tag board or cardstock. Now that you have that, you can just put your tag into the template and cut away over and over.

[@deannamuzingo3499]

I would really like for you to do a video engraving with the Explore 2. Thank you! I enjoy all you creations!

[@OOrespawn]

The explore 2 doesn't have an engraving function 😢 only the maker can do engraving, sadly

[@Mclure2023]

Yes! Def want to see the test. Cute!

[@charlenefriesen8286]

I loved your video especially the hack I had no idea you can move it and I have had my Cricut maker 3 2 years! Thank you

[@susanrichardson4025]

What an awesome idea!! Thanks for sharing!

[@louisemcclain6189]

Yes that would be great

[@polkadottiie]

Oh my gosh! That’s so cute! Now I have to get a couple dog tags and try this out. Thanks for sharing and thank you for the instructions ❤

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

They are so fun to make!!! Of course! 💗

[@joycehill4399]

Yes....a video using the explorer. Thank you. Great video!!!

[@mrsmcphate]

Wow! This is so cool! I want to make them for all my grandkids!!! Thank you so much for sharing and sharing the links on Amazon for the tags! 😃

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

That would be so fun!! Of course! :)

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Yes, please. I have the Explorer Air 2. Thank you.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Sounds good!!! I will try to get it posted soon! :)

[@tiffanystrayhorn6834]

Hahahaha... She is giving the Boombastic SideEye!! 🤣🥰

[@lmwalter5486]

Very cool. Love all your tutorials, I learn a lot. TY Linda 😊

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@suecummings3277]

Yes, I would love to see it on an Cricuit Explore, I have a Cruit Explore 3. Thanks

[@tinaf4216]

Would love to see it for an explorer air 2😊

[@tiffanystrayhorn6834]

Only the Maker can do engraving.. Not the Explorer.. I know, that sucks!!

[@LMRDesignStudio]

Thank you for the great tutorial. Were did you find the guide you printed?

[@lauriefletcher117]

Love it! So cute. I also was wondering if sometime you can do an updated tutorial on how to make silhouettes of kids' profiles. Yours is a couple of years old and I'll bet with all of Cricut's new features it might be easier now?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I'll definitely look into doing an updated one!! :)

[@ellen-marie6692]

Thank you! Could you perhaps post a screenshot of the list of materials that can be engraved? Have you tried Cricut brand acetate? Would love a video of that if yes or when you try it if you’d want to - thanks!!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Hi! Here's a link to Cricut's website that shows the materials you can engrave. help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024426554-Cricut-Engraving-Tip-Compatible-Materials?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQAzcaexENuKSI2yRtjI1xY7WWO2y_gDTAh1q4yIthjvfUeB7lto4WwxoCNpkQAvD_BwE. I have used Cricut brand acetate and it's great! I've used it for card making projects. I haven't engraved on acetate though. I'll have to look up some project ideas for that!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

I’ve been wanting to do this.

[@veronicagrimsley42]

It turned out beautiful 😊

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you SO much! :)

[@queenofcheap6310]

I love this. I have a question. Can you turn the tag over & engrave the owners phone number in case of lost dog? Thanks so much.

[@Artist6135]

Very cool!! Yes please do this the the explore air 2!! ❤

[@teresaclause6035]

These are so cute! Can you please do a tutorial on the explore air 2 please? That would be great.

[@queenwashington5732]

Thanks for sharing

[@dawndavison8560]

Where can I find that measuring chart?

[@heybrothers]

I googled it and found the exact one.

[@ianhalliwell2019]

Ihave searched the internet and cannot find the measurement cheat sheet you use. where can i get it from?? love you videos by the way

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

You could have brought the Square that you used to create the tag and hide it when you are on make it screen. that is what I use to help with placement.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I actually tried that but when I went to hid the square it also hid the wording. Do you have any tips on how to keep the wording there?

[@ChantelleArts]

gorgeous tutorial ☺☺

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you! 🥰

[@christierose5401]

Can you add small pics? Plus engrave on the back?

[@deannamuzingo3499]

such a pretty dog!

[@robertadejean3081]

Now I have to try this

[@crd05]

Love this! Thank you!

[@grissrodz7730]

Beautiful 😊

[@2new2this]

Question: couldn't you combine the engraving within a box and make the box white, basic cut and then attach so that it could be lined up better and use the hack of just letting it go through the motions of cutting the box and hole but not putting the fine point blade in the machine? Just curious if that would work?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I actually tried that and for some reason it didn't give me the Anodized aluminum option for my cut setting. it said the material setting was unavailable. 😩so it wasn't letting me have that square set to a basic cut. I also tried the score as well. I was bummed it didn't work!

[@2new2this]

@@KaylasCricutCreations Thank you for your trial and errors, that truly saves me time and effort!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

@@2new2this you’re welcome!! Thank you so much for the suggestion! I feel like there still has to be an easier way. Lol!

[@mellyj3874]

Thanks for this 😊

[@charlenetorres5488]

Do the dog tags come with the ball chains as well?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

This one didn't :( There might be others online that do though!

[@nicolebartscher3203]

AWESOME thank you!!! Can we turn it over and engrave a phone number on the back side also?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Yes!! You definitely could..good idea!

[@brittanymartin3227]

Can you show me how to do that with Cricut joy?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I don't believe there is a way to engrave on the Cricut Joy :(

[@brittanymartin3227]

Dang. I’ll have to save up money to get Cricut marker. Thanks you!

[@rosesthatwillalwaysbloom]

Do you have a sheltie? If so. Me too!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I do!!! They are such great dogs! :)

[@Msmorgan1977]

Please make a video for the cricut explore machine😢 Even though I don’t have a maker, great video ❤

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I will definitely make one! :)

[@YagwitOG]

Is the same tool for M3?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

It is!

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

Could you have not Contoured out the outline on the Sketch Font.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I tried that and for some reason the contour button was greyed out :( I tried switching it to a basic cut to see if it will pop up but it didn't.

[@christinebickle5770]

Omg 😱 I can't believe I could have moved the font menu around!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I did it on accident the other day and was like what?! I had no idea you could do that either 😂😂

[@darlenevenus4398]

Where can I find this cheat sheet?

[@claudiahunter5315]

I searched the internet for the cheat sheet and could not find it. I too would like to have it.

[@ianhalliwell2019]

i have also spent the last two days looking for it, i have message again asking where can ew find it see if she replies to me

[@Im_AshParker]

My kitty's name is Callie ❤
