What Side of Vinyl Do You Cut Cricut?

Vinyl is a popular crafting material for Cricut projects. It is perfect for cutting out shapes and designs, and it can be used to make everything from wall decals to t-shirts. But how do you know which side of the vinyl to cut with your Cricut?

The answer depends on the type of vinyl you are using. There are two types of vinyl — adhesive and non-adhesive. Adhesive vinyl has a sticky backing, while non-adhesive vinyl does not.

For adhesive vinyl, you should always cut on the back side (non-adhesive) of the vinyl. This will allow the adhesive to stick better when you apply it to your project surface. If you cut on the front side (adhesive) of the vinyl, it won’t stick as well and may curl or peel off.

Non-adhesive vinyl should be cut on the front side (shiny side). This will ensure that your design looks its best when applied to your project surface.

Conclusion:

When cutting with your Cricut, it’s important to know which side of the vinyl to use. For adhesive vinyl, always cut on the back side (non-adhesive) and for non-adhesive vinyl, always cut on the front side (shiny side). This will ensure that your projects turn out looking their best!
