I do have some other cricut joy pens I bought by mistake, now I can use them in my joy, thank you, enjoyed the video.

[@maeve4385]

Angie... just got the adapters, thank you for the recommendation, can't wait to start and explore the other pens, however I have been using your hack on the Sharpie fine point to date... AWESOME. Anyone watching this I highly recommend her hacks/recommendations.

[@eileenhietter9615]

GREAT VIDEO! I have tons of regular Cricut Pens. When I asked for and got a Cricut Joy XTRA for Christmas it never occurred to me that the pens would be different! I knew someone would have a video about this! THANK YOU!!!!~

[@AngieHolden]

You are so welcome!

[@Reneesfun]

Just tried this with an old Bic Mark it fine point marker. I didn’t need an adapter. I marked it in comparison to my Cricut Joy pen and it worked! Thanks!

[@AngieHolden]

YAY! So happy it worked!!

[@nanspier5681]

Great video! It's amazing how people are all worried about effecting their warranty though. How would anyone even know if you used an adapter unless you told them? LOL! It's not like you're unscrewing hardware and replacing parts - THAT'S the stuff that could be questionable for losing your warranty - not adding a silly adapter.

This is what i was searching for. I have pens but didn't know how to adapt/use them with my cricut joy. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@amariesims6054]

Ok, this was some great information! I just purchased the Joy and I was wondering could other writing devices be used in it. A gazillion thanks for testing out and sharing these alternative writing devices. Can't wait to use some that I already have! Look forward to learning more about the Joy.

Thank you so much for this!! I got a Cricut Joy on Christmas, and along with it, I got the regular Cricut pens. I realized they didn't fit, and I was looking for a video to explain how to make it fit. Thank you!! 👏👏

[@janelletidey134]

Angie, thanks for all the time you put into these videos. They are jewels and keep me progressing in getting the most out of my cricut.

[@AngieHolden]

Wonderful!

[@talyfaith]

Thank you for this video!!! I’m slowly getting rid of my fear of using the Cricut joy! It’s amazing how I will be able to use some of my different pens!🥰 I wouldn’t put the Tombow brush pen...it’s a delicate tip for lettering, and it needs to be at an angle or else the tip will get ruined. Maybe only the fine tip will be fine.😊💗

[@AngieHolden]

Yep you can definitely just do that!

[@timeenuf4200]

[@missvickie1975]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing!! When it comes to the pens that dont work with any premade adapters, you can also make your own adapters by wrapping a 1" strip of paper around the barrel of the pen until it's thick enough to fit snuggly in the machine or another adapter.

[@AngieHolden]

Great tip!

[@loishollon7649]

I finally got around to trying this with the adapters you recommended from Etsy. It worked great! Thank you so much for sharing this tip!

[@AngieHolden]

Glad I could help!

[@Detroit-Jen]

I’m so happy I can use the sublimation markers in my Joy!! Thanks for this great video. 👍🏻

[@mcalexab]

Thanks for the awesome video! I had actually purchased some adapters from this shop a few months and was afraid to use them because they're tight fit. However, I push up a little on the bottom of the holder when I insert the pen/adapter and it works great. I especially love that I can use my Maker pens. :)

[@AngieHolden]

Great to hear!

[@beverlylaforge9745]

Thank you, your videos are so well done and educating! I have never used a Cricut before and received the Joy for Christmas; so I have a lot to learn!

[@sleeplesscrafter]

I tried the fine tip sharpie marker, and extra fine paint marker in my cricut joy and they wouldn't fit. They were too fat and I didn't want to force it. I also tried it on the Pilot "easy touch" pen and it worked! So I am happy. The marker that came with my cricut joy ran out after using it ONE time! I was so disappointed and didn't want to waste more money buying more if they were going to run out so fast.

[@ybunnygurl]

Your marker must have been old, I have been useing mine for months.

What paper/label do you use for the coloured pens? Great Video, thank you.

[@AngieHolden]

You can use any paper. If you want a label, it needs to be something you can write on.

[@Arielcmr]

Thank you so much for this video. I only have a Joy and this opens up a ton of possibilities! Can't wait for the next video to see what else I can do 😊 PS I checked the etsy shop and unfortunately they don't ship to the UK. Looks like I won't be using my pens after all 😔

Hi Angie, thank you for the video. Does using different pens change the draw and cut dimensions? We tried making stickers on the cricut joy using a sharpie and the cut lines didn’t line up.

[@AngieHolden]

Does the Crayola SuperTip look more like a Cricut 1mm marker? Guessing not 8mm gel? Or would it compare to a larger Cricut marker?

[@krismarvel]

Hi Angie, thanks so much for your helpful video🙏! I am looking to purchase the Circut Joy to make personilsed gift tags for my customers. Because these are personalised I would only need to print one gift tag at one time instead of a whole sheet, am I able to do this on this machine? Also, would I be able to use already cut gift tags for the Cricut Joy to print on? Thank you! ❤😊

[@AngieHolden]

You can't do print then cut with the Cricut Joy. The new Cricut Joy Xtra does do print then cut. So, you could ONLY write the gift tag and cut it out with this machine. It can do one at a time. Using already cut gift tags and writing on them is REALLY tricky as they are hard to line up. It is possible however.

[@krismarvel]

Thanks so much Angie! You've really helped me to decide which machine to get. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. 👍🥰

[@kekecatty]

I'm thinking of buy a machine, do you think I should start with the cricut Joy, or move to the Cricut Maker 3? my main goal is to make stickers, perhaps boxes made of card stock, and I'm also wondering if I can use a picture of my dog who passed away in anything, say like if I want to make a plaque?

[@AngieHolden]

For stickers, I would get the Explore or Maker. Boxes as well will be too large to make on the Joy. For the plaque idea, perhaps etched metal would work? For that would you need the Maker or Maker 3.

[@brfny7002]

Love this video. Thanks for the info. Has anyone tried the sharpie pens with the joy?

[@AngieHolden]

I am not sure if they have changed size since the filming of this video.

Is it okay that you need some pressure to push the pens in or are they suppose to all just drop in? Don't want to break my machine.
