Hack: when applying liquids (alcohol, vinegar, goo gone, etc) use paper coffee filters instead of paper towels… they are made so they don’t leave behind any lint or small paper fuzz and works great
First, you’re adorable. OK, moving on, I love that you’re not attached to Cricut, I’ve heard that their vinyl really is not that great. Very very useful ideas! Thank you!
Mat cleaning hack: I use these silicon scrubby things I found at the dollar tree. They are found in the body care, makeup, and baby care areas… basically silicon with little nubbies on it… they have been called reusable washcloths, brush cleaners, and face cleaners. Any style will work. I then have a spray bottle with water and a teaspoon of dawn dish soap that I shake up. I spray my mat and use the silicon scrubby to gently wash my mat. I rinse with water and let air dry. This returns the stickiness and never leaves any fuzz or residue behind. LOVE my mats again!
When applying vinyl to any non porous surface… spritz with a little water (distilled water works best). This allows the vinyl to move around a bit before sticking so you can place it perfectly… then using your fingers or burnishing tool you squeegee the water out from behind your vinyl. This removes the water, prevents air bubbles, and is far more forgiving when placing your design. Set it aside for several hours while the little bit of moisture dries and your design is well stuck. This is called the wet method and is a variation that professionals use when applying designs to glass doors and cars. You can search RUclips for tons of examples. This was a game changer for me!
Weeding hack! I cut a lot of small and/or delicate vinyl. If I just start weeding in the corners and pull up the vinyl, I was losing small items (i.e. dots over i's, curly Qs on letters, etc) . So I take my True control knife and cut the vinyl around the small and delicate areas. I'll use my weeder or piercing tool to remove all of the internal vinyl, for example the centers of letters like a d e o, etc. then I pull the background vinyl leaving the delicate areas to weed the places I cut around. Does that make sense. It's kind of hard to describe without pictures. I've also discovered that using the iron-on setting on my maker 3 when cutting smart vinyl gives me sharper images.
I recently discovered the "manage costume materials" function, no one ever told me it existed. Using it was a game changer for me. My blade stopped cutting well on some materials. I thought I should change the knife. I learned, instead, that changing the blade pressure setting on the material I will use solved the problem. I just increase the pressure two at a time; test to see if it's working, and if it doesn't, I adjust it again. Easy!
When I sew, I keep a notebook of materials, number of layers, and stitch tension and length; that way if I want to do the same project I can refer to it and instantly set the same settings. I will be doing this same thing for my Cricut projects! 😊
I am you. I received my cricut as a gift last year and only registered it. That's it That's all and then decided to use it for the first time this Thanksgiving. A video from. Tanner helped me create my very first sweatshirt and then my matching pajama shirts. I quickly subscribed to his youtube channel bc he is very detailed and takes his time in his videos and I like that.
Although the ‘hack’ to find the center of the shirt is a great one… the easiest way to find the center of your design is to put a small rectangle/square into your design (not touching any of the design itself) and center it to your design prior to cutting. I would fold and press, then use marking chalk (the kind that is found in the sewing section of fabrics stores) to lightly mark the fold to make it easy to see (this mark will brush/wash away and will have no effect on the HTV adhesion). Now simply line up your design using the small square you centered with your design and press the HTV liner down with your hands… once most of your design is sticking to the correct place on your shirt, use your finger or weeding tool to peel off the small square. This takes less time and is super easy… it actually takes longer to explain than to do it.
I bought 2 round Pen and Paintbush holders in Dollar Tree craft section. It holds 49 Cricut pens each one. I bought a lazy Susan Spinner (at Hobby Lobby or your hardware store) and glued it to the bottom. I LOVE it!!! Keeps pens available when you need them.
One hack I do that I never see mentioned is that I like to weed a whole bunch of things then apply the transfer tape to all, then cut out individual images. So for example with vinyl labels I might cut on a 12x12, weed all the labels on the 12x12, apply a 12x12 sheet of transfer tape, then cut out each label. It is faster to weed and I can also precut the materials rather than having to cut the exact size. Plus since the transfer tape exactly matches the paper backing it doesn't get stuck everywhere.
I’ve always had a special mat aside for weeding . That way my cutting mat stays clean. I also use alcohol wipes to clean my items . I’ve tried the baby wipes with not such good results . I clean with the dish soap. Let it dry . Then i apply a piece of transfer tape to cover mat. Let it on for a few days . Then i remove the transfer tape and it’s like new. Very sticky . I then reuse the large piece of transfer tape . Another hack i do is i keep transfer backing from my htv. I then use it when i weed to put the scraps on . It works great . When it’s full, i fold it up and discard.
Tanner & co, where have you been all my life? Well, since I got my cricut lol - I’m from uk n have had my machine a year BUT not got very far - projects I’ve done have been ok but I just lack ideas n inspiration! It’s now 6.35AM n since I found your Chanel at 11PM last night, I’ve been hooked n awake and excited EVER SINCE!!!!! Thank you all sooo much - I feel much more knowledgeable n wanna get started N O W! Lol I came across a “car trash bag” which is made out of material, (which I find hard to cut in a straight line) but it’s the ideal size to make for my 3 year old granddaughter, who has a pretend shop wiv small grocery items n it’s gonna make her soooo happy! I’m sorry for waffling on but honestly, I’m really buzzing now, thanks to U!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing how to cut different colors on one mat. I have been cutting multiple colors on one mat for years… but I have always made them all the same color and then had to be very careful remembering which color went where on my mat… but now it is so much easier, thank you.
Tanner, I have been using Cricuts since the Expression. But your video today made it "fun" to learn new things that I can do with my Cricut Maker and Explore. Hacks #10 thru 20 were the most helpful. I thank you for all the help you are giving to all of us loyal Cricuteers.
19:06 if you click the white square in the very corner under the undo button it removes or adds the grid automatically. Little faster. Love all the tips!
Thank you so much for showing the flatten feature to help print then cut. Love your videos. They definitely keep me interested in my machine. I was nervous I would have wasted money on my Cricut Maker. I’m now trying to get more comfortable and hope to eventually, down the line start a small business. I really enjoy the line fill when engraving on acrylic, never thought I’d be able to make something I can light up with LEDs. After watching your videos, I’ve started my crafting journey with more difficult projects first. I’m pleasantly surprised. Just need to get better. Thank you for all you do!!!
Great hack for removing the grid from the back ground… when making labels, signs, and websites for craft sales this was a great way to be able to print/view the designs in other apps, thank you so much!
OMG, I just LOVE YOU Tanner! You are such a bright light! I received my Explore Air 2 a couple of weeks ago, unboxed it yesterday and will use it soon (I hope)! I'm nervous, but I feel like I will have Tanner by my side cheering me on!! I'm so happy I found you! Thank you for your positive, bubbly, infectious attitude and teachings!!
I am a beginner and just found your channel. I’m so excited to get started. I have bought some permanent vinyl at Dollar Tree to practice with. I hope this vinyl will be ok. Wish me luck on my Cricut journey. Your video was so helpful in Design Space.
When I got my Cricut years ago I did a side by side price difference. I took a few different co. And took the cost per piece, per roll and made a n extra place to compare the width and length of each item and took the price of them. It really helped to know where I’m saving money. 143 is definitely the winner on cost.
Just got mine for my birthday... haven't even taken it out of the box yet... but watching videos so hopefully I learn something as not to get discouraged when using it.
Love, love, love your channel! But the multiple windows hack just changed my world! On my view I had to click the three little dots at the top of the screen to find the file option. But I didn't even know to look for it before this video. Thank you!!!!!
The test cut in the shape of a star will definitely be one that I will use. I learned a lot from watching this video and have already saved for future reference. Thanks Tanner! I also plan to look into becoming a member of the Makers Gonna Learn soon.
Thanks for the hacks- I didn’t know about the ability to open a second window and I also didn’t know about the attach making the design into a print then cut
On Black Friday I purchased a Cricut explore air 2. I know it’s not the best on the market but it is all that I could afford being on social security and I almost took it back because I didn’t know the first thing about how to work it. I watched many videos and that didn’t help then I came across your video. Al I can say thank you not only do you take the time to explain you also show where we are able to get accessories cheaper which is a big plus for me. Another problem I have is all the memberships not sure which one I can get for my money. I probably not buy another machine (printer or other machines). I just want to say thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve been using my Cricut for over ten years and still don’t know what to do with some of the commands. I’ve learned a lot today.
Just this morning I needed that "new window" hack but hadn't watched this video!! I am soooo excited about being able to work while something else is printing!!
I knew most of the hacks from watching MGL videos but, number 10 yay! It just goes to show you can always learn something new. This will be very helpful to me so thank you! ❤
Hi, I am buying a cricut joy soon, and need to learn all about the product before I try. Youve gave me some great advice. Thank you so much. Luv from the UK
I love my Cricut Joy, but I did come to find out it is more limited. I ended up buying a Maker3 since you can add so many more tips and cut many more materials with it. Also, the size of what you can cut it much more limited with the Cricut Joy. I would say to really look into what you are going to be doing and what size prints you want and then decide so you don’t spend money that you could use on materials later on. Good luck!
@@mariselaberlangamariberla9018 Thank you for replying, my kids bought me a joy bundle for Christmas so I cant complain. To be honest its still sitting in the box as I havent had the confidence to start with it. I was told 'oh just buy vinyl for it' and not knowing the first thing about vinyl or the cricut I did. Anyways a couple of hundred pound later to find out I cannot use the vinyl on tumblers or glasses as not waterproof. I wonder how many people havent a clue and just buy. Now it wont get haned to the charity shop I will find something I can use it for. I only wanted to make decals for glasses, tumblers and Christmas baubles, so i suppose ive got to start of somewhere....... eventually. Thank you again. Luv from the UK
Hi Lynn. Just make sure that your vinyl says permanent and you can use for glasses and tumblers. You have to hand wash them though with a mild soap for them to last. Don’t throw or give away the vinyl. I would use it to decorate plain bags for gifts and many other things. You can cake incredible cards with the joy also. Tanner is awesome at giving tips and there are quite a few more people that give great advice too.
This is definitely off topic, but I never expected a husband/wife marriage here… please don’t be mad… these are the best circuit hacks and videos anywhere! I keep coming back and can’t stop.
I definitely thought he played for the other team because of how he talks but even if he did, I wouldn't care because I just want to learn about Cricut projects. 😊
Your first hack is what I’ve been doing and having issues with. My vinyl backing is sticking to the mat so much I’m struggling to get it off and when I do my decal curls
I I am very new to cricut and cricut design space and I am still learning thow to use the program I sure did appreciate you showing us how to put a memo so that we can find the design and or the place that we bought the design. Thanks so much for these hacks
Extra tip for the baby wipe tip! You can use your scraper tool and scrape off any left over residue/fuzz that’s left over after the baby wipe! I’ve been doing this and it works great!
Hi I'm looking at getting a Cricut but it all looks so daunting. I hope if/when I can afford it I'll be able to do the technical side. Thanks so much for your tips 😊
I loved the hacks on how to save the images. And removing the grid. So many great and very useful ideas. I'm recommending this channel to all my friends.
Thank you so much for sharing. I knew some. But most i didn't know. So thanks for the tips. Is their a way you can do a video on how to use your phone ? I have a chromebook and cricut doesn't support chromebooks. So I have to use my phone which is a android galaxy S22 ultra.
I can't see what the fonts were that you welded together , I love that look !! Can you tell me the names of the two fonts please ? Thanks so much in advance
I am a beginner and while these were interesting, they are mostly beyond my capabilities! I learn this type of stuff slowly but I am a member so I know I can always come back and re-watch!
Kathy when I first got my cricut I watched the makers gonna learn videos as I was creating my project. I would stop the video do what I needed to do rewind if I had to and that’s how I learned
ok so im a beginner beginner and i loved the video but when showing how to make stickers u mentioned printing it on printer? wouldnt u print the design on to your cricut n not on your printer? cus thats where it would cut your vinyl sticker design?
Two windows at the same time 🥹I’m so excited. I already had a cricut air, but my kids brought me a Maker. Now I can use both at the same time 🤯game changer. Thanks Tanner!
WOW! I had several months away from my beautiful Criut machines and felt a little overwhelmed comming back. I was having trouble with the new updates and couldn't really remember how to do all the things I did before. TY *SOOOO* much for this video! It really was like someone just standing there with me and guiding me back to my playground! Take care and have a wonderful holiday season and new year! ♥
My favorite was how to move images are two colors from two mats to one cutting mat. That will save me so much time. Thank you Tanner I love your videos.
hello Mr. Tanner, thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to find a Circut Class, or there any for beginners out there that you do, or can recommend? Thank you so much.

I clean my mats with pink stuff(paste). Cleans so well and the stickiness comes back so good!!!
BTW, transfer tape??? I have to buy that too?? I just thought you slapped the vinyl on! Boy do I have a lot to learn!! 🤪

I totally agree… and by creative placing, by angling each smaller cut in between your longer ones reduces vinyl waste and saves you a bunch of time!
I thought everyone did this.. It's common sense! Lol then again our world is lacking a lot of common sense these days 😉🥰
Totally agree
@@kristenadorno I agree common sense does not exist in society nowadays lol!
Do you reuse the transfer tape?... Because you can use that sheet at least for another 5 transfers

It certainly is!!!!! ❤143!

Great video full of useful info. I like to use a capital B as a test cut as it shows how well it cuts curves and inside cuts.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Extra tip for the baby wipe tip! You can use your scraper tool and scrape off any left over residue/fuzz that’s left over after the baby wipe! I’ve been doing this and it works great!
Great tip!
What about cat hair? I can’t seem to get it all no matter what I do
I couldn't pick a favourite, they are all fantastic 🎉
omg, thank you for the hack to find what font we used!
I love the Guide Hack, Why did I not know this sooner? My life has just changed 100 %! THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
Hack 16 and 17 - can't wait to try!

Thank you for these Awesome tips
You are so welcome!
Wow, this was the best hack video! Love you guys. 😻

Hi I'm looking at getting a Cricut but it all looks so daunting. I hope if/when I can afford it I'll be able to do the technical side. Thanks so much for your tips 😊
You're so welcome!
Color sync and one mat! Thanks
You're welcome!
I loved the hacks on how to save the images. And removing the grid. So many great and very useful ideas. I'm recommending this channel to all my friends.
I have a cricut expression that i just got for free so im new to this and trying to figure out what i need as far as materials
You can click the blank box (between the vertical row and horizontal row) twice to get rid of the grid. Much faster. 👍🏼🥰
Thank you!
Wow! Game changer!!! Thank you so much for sharing.
Great Hacks! I knew only of a few of them. I'm excited to start using those new to me. Thanks! 🙂
You're welcome!
I have spent the day learning from you. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It has been a great help! 🥰
You're so welcome!
I was really impressed with everything. Some of the techniques I already use, but I picked up some great new tips thanks
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing. I knew some. But most i didn't know. So thanks for the tips. Is their a way you can do a video on how to use your phone ? I have a chromebook and cricut doesn't support chromebooks. So I have to use my phone which is a android galaxy S22 ultra.
So I know it's an old video. But is that a special transfer paper that won't melt when heated with a press? Or no? I'm so new to this
I can't see what the fonts were that you welded together , I love that look !! Can you tell me the names of the two fonts please ? Thanks so much in advance
I am a beginner and while these were interesting, they are mostly beyond my capabilities! I learn this type of stuff slowly but I am a member so I know I can always come back and re-watch!
You can always re-watch the video. 🙂
Kathy when I first got my cricut I watched the makers gonna learn videos as I was creating my project. I would stop the video do what I needed to do rewind if I had to and that’s how I learned
This video was so easy to learn your tips and to understand why that tip works, Great job, this video was really needed
You have the sweetest accent and most pleasant tone I’ve ever heard. 🥹😭
I have a Cricut joy is it worth buying a larger Cricut machine?
Loved them all. Some I already apply but got some fantastic tips I didn't know about, like color sync, and one mat. Thank you so much Tanner.👍
You're so welcome!
for sticky mats I use double side tape on the corners
My 2 favorite was screen shots and opening the second window. I didn’t know you can do that.
Great tips for this beginner
ok so im a beginner beginner and i loved the video but when showing how to make stickers u mentioned printing it on printer? wouldnt u print the design on to your cricut n not on your printer? cus thats where it would cut your vinyl sticker design?
Hack ?
#15... Mind BLOWN!
143 vinyl squeegee Tumblr holder was a fantastic tip!
WOW GREAT TIPS!
How would you apply the your print from a printer since it is paper or card stock? Would you use transfer tape?
You have provided some awesome hacks, keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!
More to come!
I needed all 20 hacks
Thanks for sharing
Most welcome 😊
Two windows at the same time 🥹I’m so excited. I already had a cricut air, but my kids brought me a Maker. Now I can use both at the same time 🤯game changer. Thanks Tanner!
That is awesome!❤
Thank you for the video it was so helpful I love them all
WOW! I had several months away from my beautiful Criut machines and felt a little overwhelmed comming back. I was having trouble with the new updates and couldn't really remember how to do all the things I did before. TY *SOOOO* much for this video! It really was like someone just standing there with me and guiding me back to my playground! Take care and have a wonderful holiday season and new year! ♥
You're so welcome! Stay safe & happy holidays!
Do you use the cricut app to create all of your designs?
My favorite was how to move images are two colors from two mats to one cutting mat. That will save me so much time. Thank you Tanner I love your videos.
You are so welcome!
