I love the clothes pin hack… but instead of using a craft knife to cut out a square around your design… simply add a square shape around your design that is also cut out… then weed directly from the mat BEFORE REMOVING THE EXCESS VINYL… then use your transfer tape to remove and then remove the vinyl roll… saves money and keeps your vinyl roll even at the end.

My favorite weeding container is a fountain pop cup. The top already has an X started for the straw, I just make that a little bigger. Doesn't cost anything and I can just throw it away instead of digging the vinyl out of it.

I bet Glad Press N Seal would work too for the felt idea.

If you don't have any clothes pins handy, you can use bobby (hair) pins too!!

I've used the nail polish holder. It even sits on your finger. That works AMAZING

Stop picking on Tanner, Dylan. We can get chocolate if we want to. 😂😂😂 Dollar Tree trips never go as planned. I always end up getting extra stuff.

“I am the pilot of my own life” lol I love it! Thanks for the videos. I just bought a Cricut explorer 3 and I’m totally new to this. Looking forward to learn. Right now the machine is staring at me intimidating me, lol. ❤

I use the baby/toddler snack holder from dollar tree for weeding. It’s already got the slits like cut into the bottle in this video

[DesWorld]

I use the pet hair remover rollers for my mats. They’re great for cleaning up my workspace too!

[lissachampion]

I enjoy your videos. I do wish that when you show us the finished product that the camera could zoom in, so it's easier to see. Thank you guys for showing us what we can do with Dollar tree items. I loved the blade box. I'm hoping I can find that at mine.

You can also use the wrist slap bracelets to hold the rolls instead of the shower curtain rings. I do like the shower rings for multiple rolls and to hand them up.

Hi Tanner! I am newer to the Cricut community and was given an older Explore from my sister about 6 months ago, as she just had it sitting in her closet (a Christmas gift only used once 😮). I cannot thank you enough for your videos... the information you provide in invaluable and you seem like such a fun crafter! In other words, in a room full of crafters, I would want to sit next to you! ☺ You are most certainly my favorite crafting host here on YouTube when I need to learn more about my Cricut machine and all that I can do with it!

I see you cut out (exacto knife?) the vinyl pieces right on your mat. Does this do any damage to the mats? I've never tried this.

[HGrimes]

My dollar tree carries actual weeding tools that works great! Also the pack of Jot Writing glitter gel pens they carry fit the Cricut perfectly and write really nicely.

I tried the mechanical pencil hack to make a pinpen, but I had an issue with the needle sliding back into the pencil due to its smooth surface. The needle has very little friction for the pencil mechanism to hold onto, but I have yet another hack to make the pencil grip the needle better:

Using small wire snips/cutters or dikes, just run the needle through the jaws, lightly biting down on the needle repeatedly, turning the needle and moving up and down the length of the needle as needed. This leaves little score marks all over the needle which increases its friction factor greatly.

I went from a needle that would slip back into the pencil when the lightest pressure was applied, to a penpin that I can bang the point-side against the table, without the needle disappearing into the pencil. Retracting still works the same, press the button and push the needle against a hard surface such as the cutting mat to retract it.

[suzanford]

For the felt hack - it is on the bottom, so it doesn't need to be the clear contact paper - Dollar Tree usually has several patterned contact prayers available.

The other thing that works really well as weeding container are the small pocket sized sanitizing wipe containers picked up at the Dollar Tree. It already contains the cut out area. All you have to do is either use up all the wipes, or take the wipes out and let the container dry. I have 3 of them. I have been using this hack for a year now since I first saw the hack video done by Tanner. Thanks for all the ideas #makersgonnalearn

We super glued the shower rings together but been hanging my vinyl like that for a few months now works well.

[kings]

Love your enthusiasm!! Do you really cut on the lovely counter top with that Cricut knife? I cringe every time. LOL 😂

[arleneaugustahair]

I just put a box around my cuts and then weed it out. It keeps me from wasting vinyl and I don’t have to cut the bottom part off.
