When you finish cutting for the day and your mats look "dirty" from the edges of the earrings, you can wash your mat with non-alcohol baby wipes. I buy packs at Dollar Tree and they work great! I then hang them on a pant's hanger with the 2 clips and let them dry. Even a really dirty mat that has never been cleaned...and it has so little stickiness left that you always have to tape everything down...you will be amazed at how much more life you can get. Cleaning them as you go along when you are done for the day...because it takes a while to dry completely & get all sticky again!
BTW DOLLAR TREE NOW HAS faux leathers Blk Blu Brwn & White 😊there fairly thick also they are now selling Iron on Vinyl (not sticky enough idt so I put that back 🤷🏽♀️)I seen Red Blk Whte Gld slvr and blue .... also they have decorative iron on now too . I already knew they were going to jump on the bandwagon 😂
why wouldnt you use real leather? arent you embarrassed to be using so much plastic?.. how long are these used before they are thrown away?
Why are you calling it ribbon?
Has anyone had an issue, where they were able to cut their faux leather in their cricut machine and all of a sudden i can’t cut not one bow to save my life??? 😩😩😩😭😭😭 I’m hoping this video helps.
Someone had a tip to cut the faux leather twice, but you can't release the mat, you have to hit cut again and it works great.
I’m not sure if you know this, but I didn’t catch it in your video. You can clean your mat with hot soapy water and it will be sticky and clean over and over and over.
Bring your leather down about 2 inches and you can see more of your cut before you remove the mat
how to cut leather if you do not have a cricut
I used a new blade, new mat and the same material. Not one setting works for me. I have the maker. I have no luck with any materials...only iron on and vinyl.
