Cricut blades are used to cut a variety of materials, from paper to fabric. But did you know that Cricut blades can also be used to cut foam board?
Foam board is a lightweight material that is commonly used in craft projects, signage, and displays. With the right blade and settings, you can easily cut foam board with your Cricut machine.
To get started, you will need a Cricut Deep Cut Blade. This type of blade is designed for thicker materials such as foam board and cardboard.
You will also need a strong grip mat to hold the foam board in place while the blade cuts it. Make sure your mat is clean and free of any debris before use.
The next step is to select your settings on your Cricut machine. You will want to set the speed on medium and the pressure on high.
This will ensure that your foam board is cut cleanly without any tearing or warping. Depending on the thickness of your foam board, it may take multiple passes to get a clean cut.
Finally, once you have your settings set, it’s time to start cutting! Place your foam board onto your mat and load it into your Cricut machine.
Once loaded, press start and watch as the Deep Cut Blade accurately cuts through the material. If needed, repeat this process until all of your pieces are cut out.
Conclusion:
Cricut blades can be used to easily cut foam board for craft projects, signage and displays. The best blade for this job is the Deep Cut Blade which should be used with medium speed and high pressure settings for best results. With these tools at hand, you can quickly create beautiful projects with foam board!
