Great hacks! I use an empty Lysol disinfectant sheet container to get my vinyl off my weeding tool. Same principle. I just toss it when its full. I also use 143 vinyl. Their vinyl is SO much better then Cricut and cheaper! And, for your "star" trial cuts...don't use your Transfer tape for something that small. I use scotch tape for the small items. It works great! To clean my blade after I cut, but before I put my machine away, I use a pre-packaged alcohol swab on the blade to get off residue. It drys quickly. The wipes are also great to remove residue on smaller items, like ornaments, before I adhere my vinyl. No bottles to worry about knocking over.
Thank you for putting these TikTok hacks together in one video. I’m an original Cricut user and still got a wealth of information from watching your video.
I’m so glad I found you! You have inspired me to open boxes of Cricut things I own! And to return to my 12’x16’ She Shed my husband built me 2 years ago!
The pen hack is great. The protective cover on the mat is fantastic, I have so much trouble with putting it back on straight. Thank you so much for the great ideas. I have been learning so much from your videos.
They were all my fav but to see how easy the parchment paper works you better believe I am grabbing mine out the kitchen and bringing to craft room for sure thank you so much!
Thank you so much my hubby just bought me my first cricut i got the maker 3 and ive been obsessively watching all different diys and hacks and your channel has by far been the easiest to understand as someone who knows absolutely nothing and you're voice is so nice and able to keep my attention
I've used many of these but a new one for me is the lint roller, makes so much sense! Also like the pens. For very little money I can have a variety of colors that don't leave dots. Thanks Michael
I cannot say thank you enough for your resources and tutorials and being so informative without talking to us like we’re 3 years old Please please keep doing what you do best!!!! Would love to see some faux leather crafts and iron on HTV to unique materials like beanie hats, perhaps shoes!?
I love the parchment paper hack, and peeling the vinyl off the mat the back way. I found your Utube channels last week and joined crafty this past Sat. love it.
I came here not even to watch the video but to let you know i love you videos. Over the last couple years I've watched a ton of videos and i find yours the most thorough and well explained. Hope this year is a great one for you!
Thank you, Michael! I really enjoyed the one for the toddler tub weeding container and already have one in my online cart. We currently use the fingernail polish holder ring, but I like this one better!
This was fantastic! I'm a VERY NEW beginner with Cricut. Just purchased my very first one 2 weeks ago and just a little overwhelmed. But this video was great. Glad I came across your channel!
The pens, lint roller, and the parchment paper hacks. Just giving me the confidence to use something other than the Cricut brand has helped tremendously!
I love how cool you are! Most cricut tutorial videos I find aren't that relatable, and sometimes a little boring but not you. I also really love your background
I like the pen hack. I use the Paper Mate Ink Joy pens all of the time at work. I'm a nurse, so needless to say, I do a lot of writing. Ink Joy is my favorite pen. I have to watch that people don't "forget" to give my pen back to me when they power it. Now I have a new reason to use the Ink Joy pens but this time they will be color. Thank you!
Hi I've just bought my circuit today and I'm getting very excited to start making new projects. Does the place where you order your vinyl from send to the UK ? Xx
I'm a newbie to the cricut world, so I"m trying to learn everything as possible. Your videos have been very tutorial. Where are your video location based out of?
I’ve been watching you for awhile actually comparing your site to others and I have to say …. We’ll just became a member thanks for clear and honest tutorials 😊
Hi Michael, just a quick question? does your Mr Crafty Pants , all of your cut files etc , what format are they downloaded in ? are they zipped or unzipped?
Nice collection of tips and even some in there I had not yet learned! First of all, I can’t believe how inexpensive 143 vinyl is, even without discounts. I think the font finder is my favorite one in this bunch. What a super web tool!!! Also, your reverse weeding is also very helpful. Thank you, as always, for your dedication your crafting and for showing newbies like me how things roll in the vinyl world. The way you share information is so easily digestible and removes a lot of the fear and anxiety we sometimes get when playing with our craft toys. Your corner of RUclips is amazing. Keep on keeping on!
My goodness! So many great ideas. Thank you. I am a new owner and will be coming back to this video. Love them all, but for sure the font site is pretty amazing! Thank you.
I have used the parchment paper hack for awhile, thanks to your channel, and that is definitely my favorite. I will have to try the pen hack I am getting so many ideas after seeing it!
I truly appreciate how you explain everything and enjoy your videos. They are very helpful ans informative. Im new to cricut so any help is good thank you
The hack I use the most would have to be the parchment paper hack! I just love how easy that makes it to line everything up. I would say my favorite hack is the pen hack. I've never used any pens other than cricut brand. I can't wait to try that one!
I have two favorites that are tied - the toddler tub for weeding and the pen hack at the end! Never seen it shown like this but does look so much easier! Thank you, MCP!!!
Love the protective sheet and the pen hacks the most. Already use the nail polish weeding tool and lint brush hacks. Will have to try the parchment aligning hack. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
Nice Tube. I got a Joy for Christmas and haven't even opened it yet. I have a Silhouette Curio that I got 4 years ago and it's still sitting in box--took it out once and put it back and it sits in it's own little shelf all by it's lonesome. Hope the Joy gets me more into the mood to use Cricut--I know it doesn't do many of the things that your Tube was about, but it will be enough for doing shirts and signs, etc. and I should be good with that. Pinning this one so I can refer back to it. Favorite were the HTV hacks. Thanks
Hi I am having a problem with cutting vinyl. I have a brand new Cricut Maker and using the fine blade and heavy pressure on premium vinyl and vinyl foil. Neither cut thru to separate. I had to cut the foil along lines with scissors!
Hi from Scotland 🏴 Micheal!! Love the cheap vinyl supplies do you know of an online store that’s more accessible in the UK? X love all of the hack videos especially the test cutting! X
Hi Mr. Crafty, I just found you and just got my Cricut. Thank you so much for the tick-tock hacks. I wish you can show us how to make a card with that Cricut and take it off the mat. I have a card ministry and I was a stamper until Christmas when my hubby got me a Cricut 2221. so I really want to learn. I see that must do vinyl and I use a lot of card stock. Thank you.
My absolute favorite is #17 but I also am in deep like with #8 & 9!! Love your videos, you are wildly entertaining! Sometimes I watch just for the entertainment factor!
As always I learned so.many.things! I love all your content, and your sweet personality. The lint roller was really smart, and seeing the reverse weeding in action was GOLD! Using the pens? The layering? OMG-STOP! I have to rewatch this a few more times, and saved it in my Cricut playlist because there is just so much goodness packed into this one video (and all your others!). Thanks for being you!
Hubby's dinner's gonna be late tonight. Wasn't going to watch your video -- but I was hooked after two minutes! Thanks! These are terrific! Going to Dollar Tree tomorrow (AGAIN!!!!) lol -- AND -- checking out all the websites you mentioned!
This morning I was going to design a sticker to print on vinyl but it was bothering me how much paper is wasted. And the first video I watch this morning is you and your hack about beating that issue!!! THANK YOU!!
Those are some really great hacks! Not all of them apply to me because I have the Joy, but I did find some that I can use. My favorites are the reverse weeding and transfer vinyl hacks. I think those will really help me out. Thanks!
Hi Michael, My favorite is the parchment paper. I learned that from you quite some time ago and pas that hint to others. When doing a large project like tubs for drinks I did in the summer. I use the hinge method using it doing half at a time was so much easier. When applying because of the texture I used a tennis ball to appt the vinyl to get in all the nooks and crannies instead of the squeegee. I want to know the brand of pen you are using. You said you would tell the brand but I looked all over and can’t find it. Thank you for all you do!
My fav was the lining up the cricut mat with the cover! I use the mats everyday and am OCD enough that it really rips me when my mat and cover do not line up. I think I owe you for OCD therapy!
This is a fantastic video! What an amazing idea! I’m so inspired by you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I also make RUclips videos and I just love that I am able to learn from amazing creators like you! Thank you so much for sharing!
Loved them all - however, it is really drilled into my conscience now to do a trial cut with a new product. No more thinking I have done a large cut correctly only to find out that it is the wrong pressure. Thank you do much .
The parchment paper would be of more help for me the most. Aligning is a sloppy process for me lol. But there’s another hack I’d like to see and that’s “foiling”. Thanks Michael so much for everything!
I liked you hacks video.The roller under the mat will be useful to me.I tried Dollar Tree markers in my cricut when I 1st got it.I just stuck it in til the tip hit the bottom. The hack you showed is better for sure.

my favorite hack is when laying down vinyl using parchment paper...it has saved my sanity
I've been waiting for you to do this video.
I am still trying to figure it out...
Wha!?!🥰
I agree 👍💯 so cool
Can you use this process with a iron-on layered t-shirt?
New to Cricut and I do believe you have changed my life! You've shown me so much and how to use design space.
Thank you for putting these TikTok hacks together in one video. I’m an original Cricut user and still got a wealth of information from watching your video.
Love the Cricut hacks! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Love, love, love the way you presented each hack and your enthusiasm for what you do. Watching you is always a pleasure.
Thank you so much my hubby just bought me my first cricut i got the maker 3 and ive been obsessively watching all different diys and hacks and your channel has by far been the easiest to understand as someone who knows absolutely nothing and you're voice is so nice and able to keep my attention
I'm a newbie Cricut owner and love your teaching style. Very easy to follow. Thank you.
Great video...the one that made the biggest difference was putting parchment paper to align the vinyl. It saved many projects!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Loved the weeding container using the toddler container. I do have to ask, what pen/tool are you using for weeding? I want one of those!
I've used many of these but a new one for me is the lint roller, makes so much sense! Also like the pens. For very little money I can have a variety of colors that don't leave dots. Thanks Michael
I love the font site to see what you already have available in your computer and the ability to type in what you are printing!
I cannot say thank you enough for your resources and tutorials and being so informative without talking to us like we’re 3 years old
Please please keep doing what you do best!!!! Would love to see some faux leather crafts and iron on HTV to unique materials like beanie hats, perhaps shoes!?

Parchment paper with vinyl is my favorite. A real game changer.
I agree!! I love that hack!! 😊 Thanks so much for watching!!
Thank you, Michael! I really enjoyed the one for the toddler tub weeding container and already have one in my online cart. We currently use the fingernail polish holder ring, but I like this one better!
I wish I would've seen this sooner I bought mines from Dollar tree for 1.25 but I use mines as a shammy holder for stamp cleaning
This was fantastic! I'm a VERY NEW beginner with Cricut. Just purchased my very first one 2 weeks ago and just a little overwhelmed. But this video was great. Glad I came across your channel!
The pens, lint roller, and the parchment paper hacks. Just giving me the confidence to use something other than the Cricut brand has helped tremendously!
So many great ideas. Love the paper flower hack! Genious
I love that hack too! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
I love how cool you are! Most cricut tutorial videos I find aren't that relatable, and sometimes a little boring but not you. I also really love your background
Love #10, 11, and 20. Will be trying them out soon! Your parchment paper hack I learned from you almost a year ago. Saves my sanity every time!☺️
Those are my favorite pens too!! I have a ton of them in every color in my classroom!!!! So excited to try this!!!
They’re amazing! 😍
My goodness I’m new so everything is wonderful. I do have a question. The StarCraft soft flex can it be used on anything?
I love all of these hacks. I've seen them all but forgot about most. I use the hack laying the plastic cover on the mat every day!!
I like the pen hack. I use the Paper Mate Ink Joy pens all of the time at work. I'm a nurse, so needless to say, I do a lot of writing. Ink Joy is my favorite pen. I have to watch that people don't "forget" to give my pen back to me when they power it. Now I have a new reason to use the Ink Joy pens but this time they will be color. Thank you!
The Font finder hack has blown my mind! By far my favorite! Thanks for sharing!
I have the nail Polish ring and love it. I’m definitely going to try the lint roller though. That looks great.
I bought that a Dollar Tree when I got my Maker. Works great .
My favorite was the toddler snack cup used for weeding!
I am interested in knowing what setting should I use for the Dollar Tree vinyls? I bought some to use as stencils
Hi
I've just bought my circuit today and I'm getting very excited to start making new projects. Does the place where you order your vinyl from send to the UK ? Xx
Thanks for posting all of these! Got a cricut for Christmas and just have done basic stuff. This gives me hope. 😁
I'm a newbie to the cricut world, so I"m trying to learn everything as possible. Your videos have been very tutorial. Where are your video location based out of?
I’ve been watching you for awhile actually comparing your site to others and I have to say …. We’ll just became a member thanks for clear and honest tutorials 😊
I enjoyed all of your ideas. Some I knew. But for all of your efforts and ideas thank you. I do love love star craft material.
I love all of it 🥰 As a beginner I'm soaking it all up and saving as I learn. Thank you so much.
I love all the hacks and appreciate you put them together ❤ My favorite is adding a different pin to the cricut machine
Great hacks thank you so very much!! I didn't see where you have the pens listed, but, also what make of scissors are you using?
The pens have now been listed! 😊
@@mrcraftypants thank you❤
I wish I could give you more than one star. You have helped me so much with these hacks. Thank you for being clear and easy with your instruction.
Great video! Parchment paper for layering is ingenious!!! Loved all the tips, though.
So many great ones, Mr. Crafty Pants. I really love that you put them all together and not only explained it so well, but showed us it!
Hi Michael, just a quick question?
does your Mr Crafty Pants , all of your cut files etc , what format are they downloaded in ? are they zipped or unzipped?
Glad I stayed to the end. The pen hack has been one of my biggest questions. Very informative tutorial. Thank you.
#6 and up...I knew about the first five, but wow, those others took me by storm...Thank You...I will be using several of these.
Nice collection of tips and even some in there I had not yet learned! First of all, I can’t believe how inexpensive 143 vinyl is, even without discounts. I think the font finder is my favorite one in this bunch. What a super web tool!!! Also, your reverse weeding is also very helpful.

The pen hack is my favorite! Love Ink Joy's pens as well
Im a newbie so forgive the ignorant question but can nail polish remover take off vinyl like that blue baby snack container?
As always I learned so.many.things! I love all your content, and your sweet personality. The lint roller was really smart, and seeing the reverse weeding in action was GOLD! Using the pens?

Would love to see more for beginners. Thanks so much ❤
The parchment paper is one of my favorites. Thanks for providing tips to help with our anxiety lol.
Do you know if the Starcraft SoftFlex is like the Siser Stretch? I love how stretchy and thin the Siser Stretch is and would like an alternative.
First time viewer. Already subscribed. Thanks so much
Favorite hack you shared was finding the right font. That is going to save me SO much time!
This morning I was going to design a sticker to print on vinyl but it was bothering me how much paper is wasted. And the first video I watch this morning is you and your hack about beating that issue!!! THANK YOU!!
Can I ask what the pen is you are weeding with? I’ve not seen those before. It looks to have a fine point. Cheers. 🦋
Love the hacks! What brand of transfer tape are you using?
Hard to pick there’s so many good ones! I think the parchment or paper towel roll. Genius!
Great tips but on using any pen what is the adapter you cut and put the pen in for the cricut?
Those are some really great hacks! Not all of them apply to me because I have the Joy, but I did find some that I can use. My favorites are the reverse weeding and transfer vinyl hacks. I think those will really help me out. Thanks!

That’s such a great hack as well, Gloria! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊 I’ve updated the description with the links! Thanks so much for watching!!
Such valuable information for a newbie like me! Thank you so much!!!
I love all these hacks. I'm a new cricut owner and can use all the help I can get. What weeding tool are you using in this video?
My fav was the lining up the cricut mat with the cover! I use the mats everyday and am OCD enough that it really rips me when my mat and cover do not line up. I think I owe you for OCD therapy!
So many useful bits of knowledge to assist us!. Thank you for researching and then trying out for us. So valuable to have this knowledge. 🦋

Good to know! How often should u change cricut blade? How do u clean ur mats?
How do I fix the issue of the vinyl not wanting to be removed from the backing with the transfer tape?
Micheal Thank you so much for all these tips I love all of them I will be trying all of them.
Ok I'm in! New subscriber... So glad I found this channel!
