Using Oracal 651 vinyl with a Cricut Maker can open up a world of possibilities for crafters. This vinyl is perfect for making custom labels, signs, decals, and more that can easily be applied to windows, walls, and other surfaces. Plus, it’s easy to cut with the Cricut Maker since the machine has a special setting for cutting vinyl.
Before you begin cutting your Oracal 651 vinyl with your Cricut Maker, you’ll need to make sure you have the right materials. You’ll need the Oracal 651 vinyl itself as well as transfer tape. Transfer tape will help you move the cut pieces of vinyl from the mat to the surface where it will be applied.
Now that you have all your supplies gathered together, it’s time to start cutting your Oracal 651 vinyl with your Cricut Maker. To do this, open up your design in Design Space and select “Vinyl” as your material type. Make sure that you select “Oracal 651 Vinyl” for best results.
Once you have selected your material type and adjusted any other settings such as blade depth or pressure settings if necessary, click “Make It.” The Cricut Maker will then begin cutting out your design from the Oracal 651 vinyl.
When cutting is finished, remove the excess vinyl from around your design using scissors or an X-Acto knife and weeding tool. Then place transfer tape over top of the cut design before carefully peeling away the backing paper from underneath.
Now it’s time to apply. Place your newly-cut piece of Oracal 651 Vinyl onto a clean surface and press down firmly with an application tool or credit card to ensure a good bond between both surfaces.
With these simple steps, you can easily use Oracal 651 Vinyl with a Cricut Maker to create custom labels, signs, decals and more!
Conclusion:
Using Oracal 651 Vinyl with a Cricut Maker is easy and offers endless possibilities for crafters looking to create unique designs for their projects. Make sure that you have all the right materials before beginning – including transfer tape – then simply adjust settings in Design Space and watch as your Cricut Maker cuts out intricate designs from this durable adhesive vinyl before applying it onto any clean surface.
