Quick tip! If you don't have the funds for a lightbox (I know they're pretty cheap but alot of us are on a tight budget!) you can make due with a smart phone! Before I could afford to get a lightbox I saved a plain white background into my photos. Then when I was weeding I would pull up the white background and turn the brightness on my phone all the way up! Works best for smaller projects but if you're patient you can do bigger projects. Hope this helps another crafter on a budget!
Your tips are perfect. I just bought a light pad, now put an empty box of tissues for my weeding and now will use a weeding box around my projects. Thank you!!
Put a clear piece of clear vinyl over the light box to help with scratching from use and the weeding tools. It also helps to keep it clean and in better shape for longer!
Watching more of your videos helping Melissa weed, and wowee I'm gonna learn today. Ordering some of the Pink Pickers now along with a weeding light mat! Thanks!
Thank you! you are great at explaining and will look at all your other videos! 👍
Thaaank you for this luv... I appreciate it
Thank you! Your video was extremely helpful, and I love your attitude :)
Awe, thank you! Your kind words mean a lot!
Tanner, I've learned so much about the cricut from you! Thanks so much!
You are SO welcome!❤
Great tips!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! My eyesight isn't what it used to be and thanks to you I learned about the light pad!
Glad I could help!
Thank you Tanner, great tips for this newbie!
Thank you penelopebo!
I love the suggestion about the weeding box, thanks!!!
Thank you!
Me too!!
thank you
New to the Cricut world- I made my 1st shirt but forgot a piece of weeding. Still looks okay- but will it wash okay or did I destroy it? Thanks!
Never thought of using a container for the scraps, one issue tho is my scraps are to big for a small container, i have a vinyl cutter that can have vinyl the width of 2 ft, and can be a long as the roll of vinyl buy which is currently 30 ft
Thanks you
Do you guys have any videos on the silhouette? I’m new to this and I got a silhouette but I’ve been watching your videos and applying what I can to that machine and I love them!
We don't often work with the Silhouette, but you can continue using some tips and tricks from these videos for your machine :)
You always weed right side up regular vinyl or htv? Great job
Thanks for the tips, Tanner. I'm definitely going to hang on to my next empty tissue box 👍! Love your videos!
Hi Tanner! Do any of the wedding tools scratch the surface of the BrightPad?
Hi Heather! Thank you so much!
It won't! The Cricut BrightPad surface is a resiliant, scratch-resistant, polycarbonate plastic, with a 6H level of hardness. Learn more here: help.cricut.com/help/accessories/brightpad
I’m new to Cricut/weeding. I am having LOTS of trouble weeding 🙄. When I start to weed out what I don’t want I keep on pulling up parts of the design and ruining it. I have been using Cricut vinyls. Any help gratefully received.
Sounds like a cutter adjustment issue. I don't have a Cricut but on my pro vinyl cutter, I can adjust the depth of the cutting blade. That might be your issue.
Mike Oxlong Thank you, worth a shot!
I appreciate you taking time to share your knowledge with the world, and your videos are well-made in the sense of no background noise, good lighting, and you speak clearly. So, in an effort to not be negative but hopefully to give feedback you can use...this video was incredibly vague. I searched for "using a light pad for weeding" and I recognized you, so I chose your video. But the camera never viewed exactly what you were doing nor did it show the effect of using a light pad versus not using one. From the angle of the camera the viewer does not see what you are seeing therefore I did not see the benefit of using one. Also, you mention that there are multiple weeding tools, and you said you had a favorite, which you picked up and showed the camera, but you didn't say "why" it is your favorite, no did you explain "why" I need an actual tool designated for weeding versus any old pointy metal object I may have laying around my craft room already.
So, in this newbies opinion, I am just one person and maybe no one else shares my opinion, but your video is titled "Must Know Tips..." and in your intro you said beginners as well as experienced users would be able to learn from you, but all I have are more questions. I still don't know why I should use the tools and light pad you speak of, and while your video is only five minutes in length, it is five minutes I've now wasted, which discourages me. And if you are promoting your memberships, you might consider this as your sales pitch - it may seem silly to you, but if I get good instruction here on YT, then I am likely to pursue and follow and maybe even pay for such memberships.
OK, I'm done, and again, I don't intend to be mean or negative...I do appreciate your willingness to share. :-)
The current project I am working on involves very small fonts for a design in a 3 inch shape, I am currently using the hook and a tweezer and the bright box, are there any tips or tools that would work better. I ended up using a stencil font as that was the one I made the least mistakes with. Any tips or tools for small projects, fonts, tools, etc.
I found that using a large quilting pin works best for the super fine weeding. They are sharp and grab exactly where you want it, and they are cheap enough to throw away if they dull. Why pay $10 for a single tool? Also, I found that if you are going to work with super fine/tiny pieces, I use Arteza vinyl. The vinyl is a tad thicker and more flexible, and stays on the backing as where the cricut vinyl let's the tiny pieces pop off the backing too easily.
Great tips👍
Thank you!
Would glitter iron on work with the bright pad if the back side is like a clear side.
good tips.. but i was really looking forward to the WEEDING BOX.. (and how to weld or group it).. or did i miss it?
Hi Joseph, we also have a blog post about this please check here:alittlecraftinyourday.com/2018/06/05/must-know-tips-for-weeding-vinyl/
Thank you. I am new to my Cricut. So I'm a bab. Just need a lot of help so I won't go out and spend money I really don't have or can use somewhere else.
Welcome to the Cricut world! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I am new to weeding so please help provide clarification. On the example you used a piece of the Vinyl. Did you just cut a rectangle square of the words you were working on and then weed it? My Vinyl is much larger than the size you had
He said it was a weeding box that anyone can create.
He did it after creating his project
I purchased the Cricut Everyday Iron-on Mini Neon Glowsticks Sampler and really unable to weed them. I using the regular weeding technique, but unable to remove the the backing. Am I doing something wrong?
You DO NOT remove the backing with Iron-On. Please watch this video to get informed on the proper way to work with it :) ua-cam.com/video/Md-X0arZnqg/v-deo.html .
Hello I have been having trouble weeding some HTV vinyl.It been ripping and I’m not sure what I need to do.I been getting very frustrated
Here is a beginner video all about HTV (heat transfer vinyl) that I think will help you! :) it's hard to try and diagnose your issue with such little information. Watch this video and see if you may be missing a step or performing one incorrectly: ua-cam.com/video/Md-X0arZnqg/v-deo.html
I am having trouble weeding the white takeout parts in my design. I dont have any tools so i tried my fingers then a tweaser, but it only tore my design's all together. Any suggestions?
you need good tools. Cricut Basic Tool Set: amzn.to/35kHGsU
Pin Pen Tool: bit.ly/2kamLFy
Im new to cricut and i cannot weed. U all do it effortlessly. Im goin to try the box behind the design
Practice makes perfect :) You'll get there! The more you try to weed the better you'll become!
I agree with you I've been wasting Lionel like crazy and it hurts my heart I want to throw my Cricut Machine sometimes I have a love and hate relationship with this thing are it doesn't cut all the way through and it rips but when they do it it's so easy
It definitely takes time. Ive sincd learned to use snap mat feature to not waste vinyl. Also know what to select when cutting. Ex. I just recently learned cardstock selection works great on glitter vinyl MIND BLOWN GIRL
Omg Tanner you were so young and adorable 😍 you haven’t aged a bit sugar foot ❤❤
Should weeding be difficult? I can't tell if my blade is not cutting deep enough. But I find that that pieces don't come apart easily and I sort of have to cut the pieces with my tool so they come apart?
No, it should not be very difficult! Here is a video that might help you too: ua-cam.com/video/ejcec-zhmAQ/v-deo.html
@@MakersGonnaLearn Thank you!! :)
Not to knock cricut, im starting on a budget and was turned off by the price my circut supplier charged for cricut weeding tools. My solution, i went on ebay (or wish or amazon what ever) and bought a dentist dental pick for a buck from china.
The same the dentist uses to clean teeth and cause pain with.
Watching you use that cricut tool, by observation i would have to say it works better.
The cricut mini spatula tho, i might grab one of those soon.
I have been trying for the last few months to weed my vinyl to make tile coasters for my kids and nothing is working. all my print outs are ruined when i try to week them. i bought the light box and its useless. help me!!!! if i dont hear back within a couple of days I take it as your not interested in helping me. mary
Great video Tanner! Can you buy that weeding tool separately or do you have to buy it in a set?
Hi! You can buy the tools separately and in a set. Thank you

TANNER...PLEASE ANSWER...Hi, I just discovered your channel out of frustration using Cricut design space, trying to follow UA-cam tutorials. I even tried googling “cricut classes in my area”.
I found your older e course videos, but can’t tell if you still have them available for purchase. Can you help me? How do I get access, if still available. I see your membership site. If I become a member, are the ecourses available there?
Thank you in advance for answering!!

How do you know what to weed on a skull?
Great info. Too bad I can't find Cricut Brite Pad
Here it is! It is out of stock for the moment but will probably re-stock soon :) cricut.com/en_us/cricut-brightpadtm-mint.html
I am new to Cricut and have struggled weeding. I feel like my blade isn't making a deep enough cut. I changed the settings to "more" pressure in the settings but my vinyl and even paper seem to pull. When I watch videos they always seem to weed without tearing.
It might tear, thats okay. It just means your blade is really new. Not a big deal. It means you need LESS pressure, not more.
Um, you are adorable. I love the weeding tips, thanks for the video!
Does weeding box work for htv? Do you have a full tutorial? 😫
The whole process from cut to heat on
Is there a way to tell what pieces of vinyl to pull from your project I made a baby toda and I had no idea what to pull off 😫 I ruined my baby yoda
This may help you :) ua-cam.com/video/f9-05OErUb8/v-deo.html
When I peel away excess vinyl form a label the letters come with it. Can anyone tell me the mistake I am making?
If you want to make a label you need to flatten the letters to your label in Design Space :)
Do you have any tutorials on how to start a t shirt business with my Cricut?
Hi Mary anne, you might want to check our course - Build a Business Through Die Cutting Class: goo.gl/Z4qzY5
Where did you buy the bright pad ?
Hi Reyonna! You can purchase the Bright Pad here: shrsl.com/np7z
Thank you!
any tips for weeding metallic?
Depending on the brand you're using it works the same way, no issues or differences :)
Is that the original “backing” to the vinyl? The clear sheet your weeding your vinyl off of?
No, this is technically the top, not the backing. this is HTV (Heat transfer vinyl, Iron-On) and it comes with built in transfer tape which is the clear layer, which is also why you have to cut it shiny side down and mirror your image. Here's a beginner video for you: ua-cam.com/video/Md-X0arZnqg/v-deo.html
can i weed with the hook from dental clinic?
Weed with whatever you feel comfortable with
How do u know what 2 weed? NEWBIE
You need to weed everything you cut with vinyl :)
I don't understand the weeding box... What
This seems like more of an ad for Cricut than a weeding tips video...
Flame is turned up to 9 (10 if you sneezed glitter and had a lisp), you need to turn it down to about a 7.
