You’re seriously amazing at explaining things thoroughly, without blabbing on and repeating yourself like so many people do! 😂 this is the best channel for tutorials hands down.

[@carolynmoreno2786]

I agree with you

[@chemconn5121]

Definitely agree

[@sheilagosse9646]

Agreed! This is my #1 spot for all my cricut questions and inspirations

[@aericafrye2232]

Agree!! I can’t stand the repetition and droning on and on of some videos! I just love him🥰

[@ellenshazel3764]

Yes, I loved the way he got straight to the design

[@stephanychicago]

I could've cried, you being thoughtful enough to do it all on 12x12 so kind

[@FlexSeal]

Your guests will be speechless with these Flextastic mats! 😎

[@ksBoss324]

Do I need to coat the Flex Seal?

[@douglasladley8698]

My wife just found your tutorials...I have a feeling I'm going to be at the craft store a lot in the future!

[@ninisince64]

I try getting my husband involved. He is better at measurements.

[@katiehobbs96]

This dude can literally make anything with a cricut... And he is making me want one by thinking I can do all of this

[@stonechops]

You know what I like about your tutorials? That you include specific actions. It’s these minute details that allow us to grow. Thank you.

I just want to say thank you. This hasnt been easy until watching you

[@dashyydashyy]

So glad I found your videos, you explain EVERYTHING so well. I feel like many other tutorials skip so much important information like how to actually use design space.

[@bonniesmith9558]

Very cute welcome mat! Love that saying! I never would have thought to use FlexSeal. Great idea!

[@PullingStringz]

I love this!!! Truly inspired!!! Your mom is blessed to have you!!!!

[@ap9362]

If you buy the flex seal clear and spray any type of mat like this, it will never get discolored from water/snow and keeps them looking nice. I was previously throwing mine out after every season.

[@amarlowdesign9047]

It’s perfect love it!! Thanks your so thoughtful ... you explained everything step by step which is a big help to us beginners 👍

[@jkrafty586]

I’m so happy that I discovered your channel via Facebook! You are such a delight to watch and so informative!

Cricut is overwhelming starting out and you broke it down so well!! THANK YOU!!

[@christinepeng5128]

Thank you for showing a method with the 12x12 mats!! :)

[@MSAUDREYL]

I AM SO GLAD THAT I FOUND YOU, THERE IS SO MUCH ONLINE ABOUT THE CRICUT MACHINES AND THEY REALLY JUST TALK TOO MUCH AND A LOT OF THEIR INFORMATION IS USELESS OR EXTENSIVE AND THEN I'M JUST DONE WITH IT ALL. I WAS HONESTLY CONSIDERING SELLING MY MACHINE BEFORE I FOUND YOU. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND IT HAS BEEN A MESS OF CONFUSSION TRYING TO FIND SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE. AGAIN THANK YOU!!!!!

[@priscilla2424]

I’m so happy that I found your videos! Your a lifesaver

Aww, thank you Patsy!! She did love it!! Although she’s only seen it over FaceTime up to this point, lol! She can’t wait to get it on her front porch. 😊 Sending hugs right back to you! ❤️

[@kristengibson7613]

This was fantastic! I usually don’t even watch a whole video but I loved this and watched the whole thing! You were so helpful to a new cricuter! New subscriber here 🤗

[@talkitupwithmst9722]

Best video I’ve seen so far. I’m super excited about making this and feel confident with the way you explained

[@Patricia-wk4rb]

I’m glad I found your channel and subscribed, I got my Cricut machine back in January and have been intimated about it, until I found your channel. Than you

[@bethstophel8344]

Thank you so much for this video. I made a door mat at Christmas and need to replace it lol, I think it's time. I wanted to say that every time I watch your video's I learn something I did not know. I was SO EXCITED to learn how to see the downloaded fonts using system. I did not know that and I am so EXCITED! The door mat is adorable and your Mom will love it! Thank you again and I'm so happy you are back!

[@mrcraftypants]

You’re so welcome, Beth! That makes me SO happy knowing that these tutorials help! Using dafont.com is a total game changer, in my opinion! You’re going to love it! I talked to mom last night after the video went up and she said she cried while watching it. ❤️ She’s in love with it, which is the best feeling ever! 😊❤️

[@lesmunns9072]

Awesome

[@jessicaluque5582]

First time watching your video and I loved it!! I love the way you explain everything. I usually don’t have patience to watch tutorials, but you made it easy!

[@mrcraftypants]

Aww, I’m so glad! Thank you, Jessica!!

[@andreamcswain8934]

Oh my gosh, this is awesome!!! I would’ve never thought of the flexseal, even though we keep it stocked here at my house. Also would’ve never thought of sealing it!! Love your projects!!! You’re a fantastic tutor!!!

[@darthjcam]

Does the flex seal affect the absorption of the actual mat

[@stephaniewilliams956]

And second I love the way you explain everything! So many people assume everyone is a pro and leave out things they feel are “obvious” that is newbies need to hear!

[@annabellegandia818]

I love how you give step by step instructions. I love this project and will surely try it out!

[@benniethomas7520]

I love watch you it makes my day on learning how to do crafts. you do it step by step. thank you Love

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you!! I’m so glad it helped, Bennie! 😊❤️

Awesome presentation! Explanation was clear, concise yet thorough. I've watched many crafting tutorials and yours by far is the best out there. Thank you for taking your time to create the tutorials for us.

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you SO much, Lucy!! That means the world to me!!

[@justinasunderland1995]

You are sooo sweet!! Thank you so much!! I absolutely LOVE the idea of doing a leopard print mat!! How cool would that be?? I would love to see it once you’re finished!! 😊❤️

I’m so glad I found you! Your instructions are so clear and helpful! Thank you!!

[@jamieclark9564]

I am getting ready to FINALLY get my first Cricut and have been watching video's to get me ready to start playing with it. Other than Auntie Tay, your video's have been the most helpful for a super beginner like me. I can't wait to get it in my house and start learning all about it. Thank you so much for explaining things so well that even a beginner can feel comfortable making super cute projects.

[@whyyyyy1004]

Omg I absolutely love your video ! I've watched countless videos from other people and can't understand why they do certain things. Thank you so much for actually taking the time to explain why you are doing what you did instead of just assuming we know! You seriously just made me so happy to try this out now. Thank you so much!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Your mom is going to love this you are so sweet. I haven't tried flex seal yet I defiantly need to Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@mrcraftypants]

I just love you to pieces! Thank you!!! ❤️ You’re going to LOVE flex seal!! I promise! Lol! The best part is it comes in multiple colors! It’s designed to seep down and fill cracks. The fact that it’s basically liquid rubber is just so cool to me, lol! Maybe I don’t get out much 😂🙈

[@dawnamendola8690]

Ughhhh I'm still confused on when to use weld and when to use attach . So I just use whichever one works at the time but not knowing why lol . Why didnt you use attach ? Or could you have used attached ? Thank you for the video ... perfect as always

[@mrcraftypants]

Hi Dawn! I used weld since some of the letters are overlapping. If they weren't overlapping I could've gotten away with just doing attach. I'll be doing a video soon on the differences between group, flatten, weld, and attach 😊

[@dawnamendola8690]

Mr. Crafty Pants - Cricut Tutorials ohhhh yes please you explain things so well , maybe I'll finally get it ! Thank you

[@tinak.3022]

[@nkyles992]

What a great teacher you are! I learned a lot. Didn''t know that I could make stencils on my future CRICUT!!! I'm so excited at evertything I am finding out that I can make....including $$$ if my crafting gets that type of professional look...Thanks

[@michellegiles4982]

Great job! Thank you for explaining things in a way that we understand. I have searched through so many youtube tutorials and so many you tubers continue to use lingo that they and other crafters understand that we as new crafters may not understand just yet. Please continue to explain in detail. I appreciate your time and effort in making these videos!

[@betsysho8456]

Finally found someone like you that truly made me understand this process! Wow! Great Video! Thank you thank you!

[@annthomas9583]

Thank you for speaking so clearly, concisely and directly. Even my husband, who usually tunes out my craft videos, noticed it right away and I caught him watching one himself (and he knows nothing about Cricut. Hahaha) I really enjoy your tutorials and the way you show us how to make things. Cyber*hugs*
