Glitter Iron On is a versatile material that can be used to customize apparel, accessories, and even home decor items. It is easy to use and can be found in many craft stores and online. But how do you know what setting to use on your Cricut machine when cutting Glitter Iron On?
The first thing to consider when cutting Glitter Iron On with a Cricut machine is the type of material being used. Glitter Iron On comes in several different types, such as standard, flock, glitter flake, and holographic. Each type of Glitter Iron On has its own set of recommended settings for cutting with a Cricut machine.

In addition to selecting the correct cutting setting on your Cricut machine, it is important to make sure that you are using the correct iron-on transfer tape when applying your iron-on designs. While some iron-on transfer tapes are designed specifically for glitter iron-on material, other tapes may not be suitable for use with glitter iron-on materials and may cause damage to your design.
Finally, it is important to remember that each type of Glitter Iron On has its own unique properties which can affect how it adheres to fabric or other surfaces. Therefore, when applying glitter iron-on designs it is important to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper application.
