Unfortunately, some of the materials for the projects are not cheap and you will have to either buy the material yourself or pay the school to use their material. Talk with Mr. Didier if you need materials.

Different materials that can be used include:

• Paper. You can cut patterns out of regular paper or thicker card stock. This is a good place to start if you have never used a Cricut before. You can make cards, decorations, and more can be made from paper.
  • Rolled Paper Flower Tutorial
  • Paper projects and ideas.
• Stickers: vinyl, single color. Vinyl is used to create stickers and decals. It is either a single color or a pattern. To print multi-color patterns you need to cut from different sheets of vinyl. You can then transfer the vinyl to notebooks, cups, water bottles, or other surfaces.

• Stickers: printable vinyl, full color. In order to do full color stickers and decals, you need to use printable sticker sheets. You print your design using an inkjet or laserjet printer and then cut them using the Cricut. You can also put a clear vinyl over them to make them more durable.Cricut Create Sticker:

• T-Shirts: Iron-on vinyl (HTV). Iron-on vinyl or Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is used to put your designs on clothing, bags, or anything made of fabric. Once you cut out your design, you use an iron or heat press to get the material to adhere to your fabric.
  • Single color HTV or pattern vinyl is like vinyl stickers but will stick to fabric. It is often only a single color or pattern (stripes, camo, etc). To do multiple color designs you need to cut your design out of different colors of vinyl.

  • Printable HTV sheets. Like printable stickers, you print your design onto them using an inkjet or laserjet printer. You then iron the sheet onto the fabric.

• Cards. You can make various cards with the Cricut printer as well. Some cards use pre-made card stock, others do not.
  • Insert Cards. Insert cards use a pre-made card where the Cricut cuts the design out of the front of the card. You then put a colorful insert into the card to make your cutout design show. These are the easiest cards to make.

  • Foil Transfer Cards. Foil transfer cards do not require any cutting, though they might. They create the design by using the Cricut machine to press foil onto the surface of the card in design printed. These are a little more complicated as they require different Cricut tools.

  • Custom cards. Cards like the pop-up-dragon birthday card do not use a pre-made card. Follow the directions for the card as to the materials needed. 
• Fabric. The Cricut will also cut fabric like cotton, flannel, polyester and more. 
• Wood. The Cricut can cut thin wood sheets like balsa wood. It cannot cut a 2×4 or any real piece of lumber, though.
• Dye sublimation. Dye sublimation, like HTV, is used to put your design onto fabric, but it uses a different process. HTV leaves the vinyl attached to the fabric after ironing. When you iron a dye sublimation sheet, the ink transfers from the sheet to the fabric. The ink becomes part of the fabric instead of a sheet glued to the top of the fabric. Dye sublimation requires special dye sublimation ink and printers that we do not have, so we cannot do dye sublimation at this point.
