●  Cardboard

●  Butcher's paper

Cricut Machine Types

With

the Cricut Maker 3

, you can cut out more than 300 various substances, including vinyl, paper, wood, fabric, and leather. 

The Cricut Joy

What tools are required to get started using Cricut?

Most of the supplies required to get the process started are provided after you buy a Cricut. A blade, the mat, a pen, and a few samples for your initial creation will all be contained within the box. A charger and a USB cord, if essential, are also going to be included.

You'll also have to get your hands on some more materials to ensure that you are able to keep on creating. Search for beautiful paper and cardstock, vellum, and scrapbook paper for those who enjoy paper crafts. You're going to need a few pieces of transfer tape, iron-on vinyl, and vinyl that is adhesive if you like to make vinyl arts.

Two introductory sets can be bought from Cricut; The Basic Tool Collection and the Essential Tool Collection. The Essential Tool Collection comprises a pair of scissors, tweezers, a tiny spatula, a weeding tool, a scoring stylus, a scraper, and a paper trimmer, besides other essential handy tools.

Chapter One

What is a Circuit Machine?

A Cricut is an electronic die-cutting equipment that enables you to cut all sorts of material designs for a craft project. With a cricut machine, you get to cut materials such as vinyl, card stock, paper and heat transfer vinyl with more precision and speed than can be achieved manually. Some cricut equipment even allow you to cut into wood, cork, fabrics and leather materials.

How does it work?

A circuit machine can be compared to a typical household printer, the only difference here is that instead of printing your design on a sheet of paper, a Cricut machine used tiny movable blades to cut out your design on that sheet of paper, wood, cork, fabric or other material.

Creating your design on a computer via the cricut app, you then send the design to the cricut machine through a USB or bluetooth then sit back and watch the machine work its magic.

Steps to Using the Cricut Machine 

●  First of all, download, import or create your design using the cricut design space software or application.

●  Pick a cutting material of choice and fix onto the sticky cutting mat of the machine then load it in.

●  Send your design to the machine via a USB cord or bluetooth.

●  Press the button on the cricut machine to start the cutting process.

●  Once done, remove the cutting mat from the machine, and the material from the machine.

And with these simple steps, you have easily completed your first cricut material design cut.
