How to Make Waterproof Stickers on Cricut with Four Methods | Beginner-Friendly Tutorial

[@if1776]

This has to be, hands down, one of the best videos I have seen about making stickers with the Cricut machine and making them waterproof. I just recently bought my very first Cricut machine and I look forward to making my own stickers. You have a new subscriber! :). Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

Welcome! 😃

[@ashleygreen9605]

I love how you showed the difference with all four!

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Hopefully it helps!

[@sarahharrison1584]

I've done spray finish and or spray polyurethane plus clear vinyl over it after it dries then did the cut and they work great on tumblers even with washing! Thank you for your great tutorials Jennifer Maker!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Good to know! 💗

[@carolynfisher8918]

I have been printing my stickers on printable vinyl for quite some time. This tutorial completely convinced me for sure that I made the correct choice. Thank You again for a Great Tutorial.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful!💗

[@joannesequeira4571]

Thank you Jennifer for this huge time-saver! I've been making my stickers with sticker paper then laminating them and then cutting them on my Maker. Can't wait to try the printable vinyl! Merry Christmas and thank you for your 25 days of Merry Maker Mingle. I've looked forward to them every day 🎄🎁💗

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad!

Thank you so much Jennifer for this video. I have been using my cricut for a few years ,but have never made stickers before. After watching this video I have learned so many new things. Your an awesome teacher.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much!

[@Luxinda]

I *always* learn something from your videos!! I’ve been using my cricut for a year and a half, but never knew about the “ungroup to lines” function until now. This is huge! Thank you!!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 💜

Oh, I think I'm gonna have so much fun! I'm a soap maker and bought this for label making!! Thank you for another great video!

[@sherrijackman8705]

loved this tutorial thank you so much I used something can't even remember what but after just running water over it to wash it it got sticky but had a baby shower for my daughter and made stickers for the plastic cups for ladies to use and take home it was a drive through shower so I had lids and straws so cute and used the vinyl sticker paper and i still use from time to time the extras and they are really holding up as well. Love your tutorials you are such a great teacher. Have a wonderful new year.

[@ckeith1274]

Wow! Just wow! I have only had my cricut a month or so and have been a little overwhelmed. But I found your channel early on and subscribed and have been watching videos until my head is spinning! I can't count the things I gleaned from just this one video. I chose it because of the water proofing information, but came away with so much more!!! Thank you!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! Thanks for subscribing!

[@colocourville1]

I’ve had my explorer for 2 months and have only taken it out the box.. you’re tutorials are giving me hop that I can actually do this!! One of my issues is that I can only use my phone but I’m going to figure all this out.. thank you for being so thorough on everything and sharing templates!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are very welcome!

[@TracyKMainwaring]

I have done the sticker paper with clear vinyl (from the dollar store) over, and they held up to daily use for awhile, but I never submerged them. I have read that some inkjet ink is not waterproof (especially black), so that even with the printable vinyl, results might vary. I also read to let let cure 72 hours, so it’s nice to see that a few hours worked. So much comes down to what you’re going to use the sticker for and your own printer ink. I hope I get your results with the vinyl, once mine comes in a few days.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you, I hope so too! 💗

[@Enjoythepour]

You are the best teacher that I have found, as a newbie! You are precise, show your work and explain everything, slowly and succinct. Thank you so much for this video. You have a new subscriber!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow, thank you!

[@stampgirl856]

I did glitter ornaments with my grandkids and used clear stickers. They are sooo cool!

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Love it!

[@jessicabeautytrends2480]

Thanks for testing them! Do you have any videos for laminating them? I’m going to try cold lamination because I hear that works better. Or other ideas to put on tumblers without sealing in epoxy!

[@ladybear7130]

The more I watch, the more I want to make. My list continues to grow. Thank you for all you do. Your great! I feel as though you are right here giving me a one on one lesson.

All other sticker creation videos put an offset around each one. When I cut them, the offset is larger on either the left or right. I will try calibrating my Cricut to see if that helps. Thanks for doing the testing for us. ❤️👍🏼

Hi Jennifer! First of all I would like to say thank you so much for sharing all your talents to all of us. God bless your heart, you are such an amazing person. I subscribed and signed up for your classes since the beginning of my unboxing my cricut maker machine Dec.26,2021. I had a baby and hubby gifted this to me and I'm glad I have you to count on for all of my questions & worries with this new adventure of mine. Thank you so much for a very clear and detailed answer with your videos. Stay safe and a blessing to everyone.

These are amazing. I need to get myself a printer. You are full of awesome ideas Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@TracyKMainwaring]

A little tip, especially if printing through wifi. Make sure you have your printer’s drivers installed. I was getting what I thought was my printer’s dialogue box, but it was just a generic Windows dialogue. There was no option to change the quality of printing, and I got lines. Installing my printers drivers made a huge difference!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you for the information! 💗

[@marcelaa7001]

How does one know if the drivers printer install and if it's not how do you do it?

[@TracyKMainwaring]

@@marcelaa7001 look at what pops up when you click “use Printers Dialogue”. Does it give many options to change things? You can also go to your printers website and there’ll be a place where you can check if you’re up to date

Hello!, thanks for your amazing videos. I´m new here and also new using Cricut, but I was wondering if you mind sharing how I cut the stickers?, not only the vinyl but also the base material where the stickers are placed, so everything has the same shape if that makes sense. Thanks

[@DIPU1036]

Hi Jennifer, Interesting tests. However, the real test is to waterproof inkjet printed vinyl labels with water proof edges which do not allow the ink to run from the edges after being totally submerged in water for 24 hours. Water will enter around the edges as there is often a tiny gap between the vinly and the lamination fil. Thus far I have not seen this done and hence why makers leave a white border around the labels. Can you do your magic and find a solution? Please?

[@clutterqueenie]

Good info as always. I have some printable vinyl and this video has given me the confidence to actually use it!

Amazing and clear video, this was exactly what I was searching for after watching countless videos trying to figure out this issue. One question I have is when you switch over to using the vinyl sticker paper, I don't think you mentioned what settings you used on the Cricut for a kiss cut? Is it the same as the regular sticker paper, ie. Washi settings? Any help is appreciated!

[@JenniferMaker]

Try sticky note.
