Testing Cricut Maker Engraving Tool on Aluminum Leather and Acrylic

It’s the beginning of the year and there are so many new Cricut users! This week, we thought we’d be part of the new Cricut crew and try something new ourselves! The Cricut Maker Engraving tool! Garrett wants a laser engraver and I told him we should see what kind of engraving the Cricut can do! So, we found several different mediums and started engraving! Some turned out beautifully…some not so much!

Stuff We Used:

TY TY TY SOOOO VERY MUCH!!! I recently am attempting to engrave on the super thin cricut brand leather to make custom leather bounded flasks as groomsman proposal gifts for our upcoming wedding. I used the engraving tip and was honestly disappointed with the out come of the engraving on the leather. I figured there must have been something wrong because you could feel the engraving but not necessarily see it. Ty or sharing the tip about layering multiple duplicate images one on top of the other. I can not wait to go home and retry the project!! You have restored my faith in the cricut makers leather engraving abilities!!

I’ve seen people engrave on spatulas or other serving utensils. That is something I wanna try! I LOVE the light! So cool!!!

As always! Thank you so much for your video, very motivational! You guys are awesome!!! Thank you so much!

Time to get an engraving tool for my Maker. Great Job!

[jpawloski]

What if you sublimate on the aluminum then engrave, like you did with the 2nd acrylic? With patterned infusible ink?

[barbaraholland]

How do you know where to place your material on the mat? I thought it always went to the top left corner.

[Tygerlily]

Great projects, hubby & I love the mandalorian, definitely need to try these projects.

[angels]

Can you put the engraving tool on the cricut air 2??

[elvishmyst]

great job you guys look forward every week to your videos

[ufoquilter]

Wait a second, infusible Inc. sheets will work on the aluminum? So it does not wash off it is there permanently?

[beckyboorl]

what type of cricut did y'all use for all types of projects. I'm in the process of wanting to purchase one for all types of projects as was seen in this video

[giftsbyhaneen]

Do u think i can make small acrylic tags with cricut like acrylic mirror tags

[nikkihansen]

Can this be done on silicon Apple Watch band?

[quirkyquiltedcreations]

Thank you for this video! My engraving tool will be delivered tomorrow so today I will be looking around the house for things to engrave.

I love all of them, but I haven't tried any of those yet. I like to see if yours works 1st lol.

[robinhanff]

Love watching you guys!! It's nice that you try things that may work other than what they tell you!!

[LynneLove]

[lynegauvreau]
