Mylar is a highly versatile material that is used in an array of projects, from scrapbooking to party decorations. It is important for crafters and makers to know what kind of blade or tool will best cut Mylar to ensure a successful project.
The answer to the question “What Cricut Blade cuts Mylar?” is the Deep Cut Blade.
The Deep Cut Blade is the most powerful blade available for Cricut machines and features a sharp, strong 60-degree cutting angle. It has been specifically designed to cut thicker materials such as chipboard, fabric with backing, craft foam, and Mylar. When using this blade on thinner materials such as vinyl and paper, it should be used with light pressure.
To begin cutting Mylar with your Cricut machine, you will need several items including the Deep Cut Blade, Mylar material, scissors or a rotary cutter, a ClearGrip mat or StrongGrip mat depending on your machine model (the ClearGrip mat should be used if you have an Explore Air 2), and adhesive such as repositionable glue dots or double-sided tape.
Once your supplies are gathered, place your Mylar material on top of your mat with the side that you want to cut facing up. Adjust the pressure dial on your machine to the appropriate setting (it may be necessary to do some test cuts before starting).
Select “Deep Cut Blade” in Design Space and load your mat into your Cricut machine. Once it has finished cutting, carefully remove it from the machine and peel away any excess material.

In conclusion, when crafting with Mylar it’s important to use the correct tool for cutting. The Cricut Deep Cut Blade provides precision cuts with minimal effort when cutting through this versatile material. With proper preparation and practice using this blade you can create beautiful projects in no time!
