The best Cricut video I have found! I don’t want to hear a life story. I just want to make cute things. 😂 thank you soooo much for this video!! I was so nervous at first but I did my first one well thanks to you!!
I wish I had found this simple tutorial 4 years ago. I’ve been terrified to use mine so it’s still NIB 4 years later! I really feel like I can begin to use it now. Thank you!!!!
That's what I was thinking I cannot stand those videos where they blabber on and on and on and on and on and on and by the time they do all of that I don't even want to hear the video 😒
This has to be one of the simplest videos I’ve seen, straight to the point thank you. I’m looking into getting a cricut but all the videos I’ve seen make it look so hard but this one was so simple 👌
I finally bought one after months of procrastinating but my birthday is tomorrow on the 9th and decided to treat myself and also help me out in the long run
I bought my cricut 2 years ago and have never used it because all the tutorials have been so hard to follow! This one was super easy! I can't wait to turn it on and try it now!
Thank you. I just bought the bundle Air 2 Sunday , Mother's day, for myself. I was glad you answered my question (inside my head) on whether the vinyl can be used more than once.
I have not taken mine out of the box yet, so this was very encouraging!! Thanks.Love you get to the point and not give me stuff that I don't need. Off to open my box
I got my first Cricut for my birthday this month! I had no clue where to even start, I came across this video very first, and I’m confident enough to go ahead and turn my machine on. Keep uploading!!
Love this tutorial im on my way to purchase a circut explorer today that was helpful no extra chatting as a lot of video's do turns me of alot. Thank you.
@@steppy3736 haha no problem! I got one too for christmas but I've worked on some projects in school last year which is why I got it and know some basics already! :)
Wow im not the only guy on earth that wanted one of these. i feel better now. I bought a broken one on ebay and fixed it. the belt drive gear exploded into 4 pieces so i made a new one. easy fix for a 3D design/ 3D printer guy $75 for a cricut explore air 2 is a heck of a deal. I just need to buy cutters and supplies and i was good to go.
Thanks man! I’ve had my cricut for 6 months lol this is the first time I’m trying it and it’s for my daughters party favours lol! Lord help me! Great video tho! Eased all my fears! : ) Thank u! Cheers
I got mine as well for Christmas. I learned that you should be locking this together, like the picture and the word so it is easier to put on what you want it to. It will all be lined up. Cut your vinyl as well so you dont waste it all like he did. Good luck with it! ;)
@@MizzSunshine1209 On the bottom right hand side. there is a group button to group it into a whole picture so both the letters and the picture a grouped/locked in one.
I’m new to the circuit family, and I have tried creating a image on vinyl, which I’m able to do but my only issue is removing the image from the vinyl... I tried several times and it still the same result. Do you have any tips to help me remove the vinyl easier? It also looks as if the blade is not cutting deep enough, how do I go about changing that.
what I don’t understand, is he put “bite me” underneath the shark- but when cutting out the font on the vinyl, it’s to the right of the shark. (not underneath like it appeared on the app) I guess I’m just struggling with the design app it’s self 🥴🧐🤨😣
hi! to keep things where you want on the mat, just highlight all the images (click and drag to select) and then click "attach" on the bottom right of the screen! they should appear the way you want when you click "make it"
Someone told me i can download the software onto my phone and use my phone because i dont have a computer. Can i still use the machine with my iphone 11 ?
Why does my EXPLORE AIR 2 cut right through the vinyl onto the mat? I’m a Newbie and so confused with this. Thank you, I’ve subscribed because you teach and get right to the point. I need someone to slowly teach the icons being used in a project, I know nothing.
Ty. ON MINE, There is a clear plastic over the pad that I would lay the colored vinyl on before cutting. Do I remove that protective sheet before placing the colored vinyl for cutting? On the video, I did not see you remove it or talk about it.😢
Do you take the white backing off the vinyl before laying the sheet down and cutting? I can't seem to get the letters off the sheet with the transfer paper
I love your video because you're taking your time explaining everything!!!! Most people just zoom through it, talking so fast! Also I didn't know that medium transfer tape is what I should have purchased instead I got strong grip transfer tape! Will that work as well??
Question. So I did all the steps you said but when I got to print it’s telling me to load a black pen in clamp a? Instead of me using the blade in clamp b. How do I fix this issue ?
It sounds like you’re using a different setting to draw instead of cut. When going through the steps on Cricut Design space I’d double check about that.
I believe I used our Royal Elements permanent adhesive vinyl sheets. We discontinued these though. There are a lot of good options out there on Amazon. I'd recommend using a lighter grip cutting mat if its sticking too much.
You’d have to hit the upload button. We just posted a video on how to design your own images in Canva if you want to make new ones: ruclips.net/video/4WgIEo4E84I/видео.html
Good gawd! How much does the vinyl cost? That’s a big waste for just a small image and six letters. Maybe I should take mine back so I’m not throwing away money. Is there a way we can use more of that vinyl in one cut with doing more images and letters in the creator or reuse what’s left of the vinyl (if pealing the shark and bite me out instead)?
Omg he made it look SO easy lol! My vinyl legit ALWAYS rips and I buy the actual legit, cricket vinyl and then you have this guy doing it with one hand! What am I doing wrong??!!
@@royalelementsofficial you got skills!!!! But while I have you lol what AM I doing wrong? You think my settings maybe? I actually think I might’ve gone about it the wrong way to be honest with you because I thought that it wasn’t cutting deep enough and that’s why I kept ripping so I got the deep blade and put that in my cricket and then I also changed the setting to card stock, so maybe I should be going with the lighter settings?
Hope this was helpful and good luck on your crafting! You can visit our website at: royalelements.com to learn more about our brand 🫶

I almost started crying when he wasted all that extra vinyl!!!
Me too!!!!
If he had cut the bottom portion off, can you reuse the bottom half of the vinyl sheet?
@@steppy3736 yes!
@@brianarivera0305 thank you! I just got a cricut for Christmas and I'm learning.

Just bought a cricut explore air2 today and I’m so excited 😁 This was very helpful and simple so thank you very much 😊
Just got mime today. Been want one. Awhile I'm super excited to get started. Thanks for the easy video.
Good video. First video I watched to get a little insight on cricut.
Thank you! You made it see so easy!!!!
🫶
Straight to point!! and simple enough for me to understand!!!!
Mom has the machine sitting there and thought I look it up and you the best!

Thank you so much. I was given a used one and did not know where to begin
Glad it helped! It’s really fun once you get the hang of it.
That is such a cool machine!!!!!!💙💙💙 Thanks for the little tutorial. 😊😊😊😊😊
You're welcome. Happy crafting Dawn!
Terrific video. Thanks for the lesson🙏🏼
Glad it helped!
That big round knob on the top of the Cricut allows you to choose material to be cut- this is important. Do this first before you begin cutting.
Thanks a lot man! I’m getting one of these for my fiancée for her birthday and was wondering how it worked!
thank you for the super straight forward tutorial.
In my spare bedroom my mom had this for awhile and never learned how to use it so I am deciding to pick up the pieces and try to learn to use it

Nice!!! Thanks for this. Great video aside from the left hand!
Thank you . I have been searching for a basic tutorial. This was informative. Thanks so much.
Thank you thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!
So excited to get mine next week!
You have made this process so so easy. Thank you
Thank you so much for this video! I've been nervous to try mine out, but this was simple enough to give me a boost! 😊
Great tutorial! I have this cricut and know nothing about it.
I do not have a lap top, will an apple desk top work also? I’m so nervous about which cricut to purchase. This video was very helpful.
Your video was short and sweet! ❤️👍
Just got my explore 2 today,😀
your video was straight to the point thank you i cant wait to use mine

@@noorqazi4749 Thank you. I wondered that question also.
Someone told me i can download the software onto my phone and use my phone because i dont have a computer. Can i still use the machine with my iphone 11 ?
@Cheyenne B5150 I was told that was possible. Tablets too.
Yes!
Loved this! Super simple! The only step you missed is pressing "Make it"😂 then hitting C button on cricut .
Great video - very useful, thank you
Thank you! Just needed a simple idea to get started.👏👏👏

Omg, my OCD kicked in. But thank you for a simple explanation
Do you recommend this for a small business or do you think it's just for recreational purposes?
me and my family are using it for a small business that we just started and it’s working very good so far
Do you take the white backing off the vinyl before laying the sheet down and cutting?
I can't seem to get the letters off the sheet with the transfer paper
I love your video because you're taking your time explaining everything!!!! Most people just zoom through it, talking so fast! Also I didn't know that medium transfer tape is what I should have purchased instead I got strong grip transfer tape! Will that work as well??
Thanks for the video, I had a question. Instead of choosing a design can you upload one ?
Yes. You can upload your own designs, however I don’t know how. You should probably just look up some RUclips videos.
Short n sweet, good job. I'm still new to the community, but I still wish you utilized more of that vinyl lol. Overall great video
Thanks for sharing this video. This is good investment for me as a beginner . Would you know if its compatible to android phones?
I don't have iPhone.
Which vinyl should I get for my cricut? They had iron on or the stick on at walmart. I bought iron on but I want to make sure I buy the right stuff.
Question. So I did all the steps you said but when I got to print it’s telling me to load a black pen in clamp a? Instead of me using the blade in clamp b. How do I fix this issue ?
It sounds like you’re using a different setting to draw instead of cut. When going through the steps on Cricut Design space I’d double check about that.
Just got mine a week ago excited
That is so neat!! Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Great video
Also adjust your dial to the vinyl setting so the blade will cut properly, Complete Begginers need to know every detail !
I just made that mistake of not changing the dial. As soon as I saw your comment it made sense why my project didn't work. Thank you!
What if I don’t want to put it on something yet? Is there a material I could Stick it to, to store it until I’m ready?
Thanks.Ready to buy one !
Can you sell items using the free images and what not like using that free shark image on a shirt selling that for an example
How does one cut a custom shape? Do i have to draw it out or give a measurement?
Which vinyl are you using? Something I have a hard time removing it from the cricut board
I believe I used our Royal Elements permanent adhesive vinyl sheets. We discontinued these though. There are a lot of good options out there on Amazon. I'd recommend using a lighter grip cutting mat if its sticking too much.
awesome well explained video
How do I add my original design into the cricut for cutting?
You’d have to hit the upload button. We just posted a video on how to design your own images in Canva if you want to make new ones: ruclips.net/video/4WgIEo4E84I/видео.html
Question I have the green cricut mat do I remove the plastic film off of it before I put it in the machine?
mine doesn't have the filter or the corners that you can pull in to adjust your size. My software is up to date I have the Cricut explore air 2. ty
have you tried this with a design that consists of multiple colors?
Yes we have tried layering vinyl! You have to cut multiple sheets then transfer one layer at a time using transfer tape. Great question!
What about layering different colors of iron on vinyl? What about washing the garment? Please advise...
can the transfer tape be reused for another project?
Do you need to enroll in "Cricut Access" because I do not have the options in design space that you have listed?
Thanks for sharing
Glad it helped! 🙌
Is it possible to upload your own drawings?? My daughter is an incredible artist. I had hoped to use her drawings
Yes!! You would go get to image and upload it.
do you have to buy the subscription ?
Where did you get the transfer tape at??
We used to sell our brand on Amazon but it was discontinued. Look for brands with good reviews on Amazon that’s your best bet
hi im having trouble paring my laptop. I tried a chromebook, mackbook and its not pairing
Good gawd! How much does the vinyl cost? That’s a big waste for just a small image and six letters. Maybe I should take mine back so I’m not throwing away money.

You made it look so easy ...Thanks for Sharing
can you edit the designs in your iphone ? or you do need a computer? thanks
I think you need a computer sadly
How do you take that design and put it on a shirt?
That would be with heat transfer vinyl- it’s a slightly different process
Is there a specific vinyl brand to use??
Thank you!! So simple, appreciate it
Thank u for ur help :) I was able to navigate along with u THANK U THANK U THANKU..
Can you make your own drawings with the app?
I am not sure to be honest, I know you can buy additional patterns from the Cricut store
You don't need a heat press for this? If I am transferring to a tshirt
Yes a heat press/iron would be needed after cutting, that’s a separate process
Omg he made it look SO easy lol! My vinyl legit ALWAYS rips and I buy the actual legit, cricket vinyl and then you have this guy doing it with one hand! What am I doing wrong??!!
Camera in one hand, vinyl in the other haha
@@royalelementsofficial you got skills!!!! But while I have you lol what AM I doing wrong? You think my settings maybe?

What setting did you use?
I believe we used the “vinyl” setting - though Cricut software has changed since this video
This is where I struggle my vynil gets stuck to the white back sheet and ruin my design, my design ends up on the plastic side of the vynil.
What was the white paper you use
How do u know when the Bluetooth is connected
