Of course, you'll need a Cricut Maker or Cricut Maker 3 and the Cricut engraving tip with the Quick Swap Housing.

If you didn't know, the Quick Swap Housing will also fit for the wavy blade, the perforation blade, the debossing tip and the scoring wheel. So you only need one Quick Swap Housing for all these tips.

Also, there is a way to engrave with the Cricut Explore but it involves a non-Cricut tip, which I don't recommend and I won't be covering this in this course.


Engraving plastic

Materials:

  • A picture frame of your choice (I got mine at IKEA)
  • If the frame has protective glass instead of plastic, you can get this craft plastic of 0.020" to replace the glass. Or even this 0.007" craft plastic can also work.
  • Strong grip mat - Purple
  • Painter's tape
  • Lint roller

Engraving Wood

Materials:

  • Basswood planks (do not use Balsa wood) - Look for 1,5 mm in thickness (1/16") or less - These are the ones I bought: CAD; USD
  • Strong grip mat - Purple
  • Masking tape
  • Sandpaper (I'm using fine-grit #120)
  • Wood Stain (I'm using Saman water-based wood stain colour #203 Sesame)
  • Clearcoat (I'm using Minwax polycrylic)
  • Foam brush

To hang the wood plank as I did

  • Jute twine
  • Crop-A-Dile (to make the holes)

Engraving metal

Materials:

  • Cricut Aluminum sheets (I'm using the 4" x 4")
  • Strong grip mat - Purple
  • Painter's tape
  • Lint roller

For Infusible Ink (optional):

  • Easy Press1 or EasyPress2 or EasyPress 3 (I have the 12" x 10" but you could use a smaller one)
  • Easy Press mat
  • Cardstock
  • Infusible Ink transfer sheets (these are the ones I'm using)
  • Heat resistant tape

To attach the aluminum with chains as I did:

  • Small jewelry chain
  • Jump rings
  • Jewelry plyers
  • Crop-A-Dile (to make the holes)
