Great hacks! I use an empty Lysol disinfectant sheet container to get my vinyl off my weeding tool. Same principle. I just toss it when its full. I also use 143 vinyl. Their vinyl is SO much better then Cricut and cheaper! And, for your "star" trial cuts...don't use your Transfer tape for something that small. I use scotch tape for the small items. It works great! To clean my blade after I cut, but before I put my machine away, I use a pre-packaged alcohol swab on the blade to get off residue. It drys quickly. The wipes are also great to remove residue on smaller items, like ornaments, before I adhere my vinyl. No bottles to worry about knocking over.
Thank you for putting these TikTok hacks together in one video. I’m an original Cricut user and still got a wealth of information from watching your video.
I’m so glad I found you! You have inspired me to open boxes of Cricut things I own! And to return to my 12’x16’ She Shed my husband built me 2 years ago!
The pen hack is great. The protective cover on the mat is fantastic, I have so much trouble with putting it back on straight. Thank you so much for the great ideas. I have been learning so much from your videos.
I've used many of these but a new one for me is the lint roller, makes so much sense! Also like the pens. For very little money I can have a variety of colors that don't leave dots. Thanks Michael
I like the pen hack. I use the Paper Mate Ink Joy pens all of the time at work. I'm a nurse, so needless to say, I do a lot of writing. Ink Joy is my favorite pen. I have to watch that people don't "forget" to give my pen back to me when they power it. Now I have a new reason to use the Ink Joy pens but this time they will be color. Thank you!
They were all my fav but to see how easy the parchment paper works you better believe I am grabbing mine out the kitchen and bringing to craft room for sure thank you so much!
Thank you so much my hubby just bought me my first cricut i got the maker 3 and ive been obsessively watching all different diys and hacks and your channel has by far been the easiest to understand as someone who knows absolutely nothing and you're voice is so nice and able to keep my attention
Thank you, Michael! I really enjoyed the one for the toddler tub weeding container and already have one in my online cart. We currently use the fingernail polish holder ring, but I like this one better!
I cannot say thank you enough for your resources and tutorials and being so informative without talking to us like we’re 3 years old Please please keep doing what you do best!!!! Would love to see some faux leather crafts and iron on HTV to unique materials like beanie hats, perhaps shoes!?
The pens, lint roller, and the parchment paper hacks. Just giving me the confidence to use something other than the Cricut brand has helped tremendously!
My fav was the lining up the cricut mat with the cover! I use the mats everyday and am OCD enough that it really rips me when my mat and cover do not line up. I think I owe you for OCD therapy!
I came here not even to watch the video but to let you know i love you videos. Over the last couple years I've watched a ton of videos and i find yours the most thorough and well explained. Hope this year is a great one for you!
This was fantastic! I'm a VERY NEW beginner with Cricut. Just purchased my very first one 2 weeks ago and just a little overwhelmed. But this video was great. Glad I came across your channel!
I love how cool you are! Most cricut tutorial videos I find aren't that relatable, and sometimes a little boring but not you. I also really love your background
I love the parchment paper hack, and peeling the vinyl off the mat the back way. I found your Utube channels last week and joined crafty this past Sat. love it.
The hack I use the most would have to be the parchment paper hack! I just love how easy that makes it to line everything up. I would say my favorite hack is the pen hack. I've never used any pens other than cricut brand. I can't wait to try that one!
I hang my cutting mats on a nail on the wall next to my machine and when I remove my protective covers I put them back on the nail and when I wanna put them back on I put my mat back on the nail Sticky side facing the protective cover and it goes on perfect every time
Nice collection of tips and even some in there I had not yet learned! First of all, I can’t believe how inexpensive 143 vinyl is, even without discounts. I think the font finder is my favorite one in this bunch. What a super web tool!!! Also, your reverse weeding is also very helpful. Thank you, as always, for your dedication your crafting and for showing newbies like me how things roll in the vinyl world. The way you share information is so easily digestible and removes a lot of the fear and anxiety we sometimes get when playing with our craft toys. Your corner of UA-cam is amazing. Keep on keeping on!
My favorite was learning about the lining up other pens, but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE was learning that the pen clamp opens all the way, I had no clue! lol
I have two favorites that are tied - the toddler tub for weeding and the pen hack at the end! Never seen it shown like this but does look so much easier! Thank you, MCP!!!
This morning I was going to design a sticker to print on vinyl but it was bothering me how much paper is wasted. And the first video I watch this morning is you and your hack about beating that issue!!! THANK YOU!!
I have used the parchment paper hack for awhile, thanks to your channel, and that is definitely my favorite. I will have to try the pen hack I am getting so many ideas after seeing it!
I’ve been watching you for awhile actually comparing your site to others and I have to say …. We’ll just became a member thanks for clear and honest tutorials 😊
The parchment paper would be of more help for me the most. Aligning is a sloppy process for me lol. But there’s another hack I’d like to see and that’s “foiling”. Thanks Michael so much for everything!
As always I learned so.many.things! I love all your content, and your sweet personality. The lint roller was really smart, and seeing the reverse weeding in action was GOLD! Using the pens? The layering? OMG-STOP! I have to rewatch this a few more times, and saved it in my Cricut playlist because there is just so much goodness packed into this one video (and all your others!). Thanks for being you!
Loved them all - however, it is really drilled into my conscience now to do a trial cut with a new product. No more thinking I have done a large cut correctly only to find out that it is the wrong pressure. Thank you do much .
Roller for me since I sew also it was the first thing available and worked like a charm. I’m new to the cricut world so all of these tricks are helping me 👍
The pen hack is a total game changer!! I didn't realise the front part of the pen holder opened fully to allow the Cricut pen holder to fall out! Thanks for this great tip!!
Love the protective sheet and the pen hacks the most. Already use the nail polish weeding tool and lint brush hacks. Will have to try the parchment aligning hack. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.
My goodness! So many great ideas. Thank you. I am a new owner and will be coming back to this video. Love them all, but for sure the font site is pretty amazing! Thank you.
I use the carrier sheets for weeding, they are sticky enough and it works great with catching the smaller pieces you weed out, i just set it aside and weed away :)
I liked you hacks video.The roller under the mat will be useful to me.I tried Dollar Tree markers in my cricut when I 1st got it.I just stuck it in til the tip hit the bottom. The hack you showed is better for sure.
Thank you Michael I enjoyed the ripped off bandage, transfer tape. I will try that the next time I have an intricate design. I also want to thank you for the website for vinyl. Cricut products can get expensive and being on a fixed income and crafting, which I love, makes my projects take longer than they should. Thank you again.
My absolute favorite is #17 but I also am in deep like with #8 & 9!! Love your videos, you are wildly entertaining! Sometimes I watch just for the entertainment factor!
Thanks for the video. There were so many good hacks in it however I think the best ones for me were #10 - the sticker hack and #20 - the pen hack. Enjoy your day.
Thank you for the bobby pin and screw gun! I was having a hard time rolling flowers, and by time I got to end to let unwind and glue. I have a mess, this is a game changer.

my favorite hack is when laying down vinyl using parchment paper...it has saved my sanity
I've been waiting for you to do this video.
I am still trying to figure it out...
Wha!?!🥰
I agree 👍💯 so cool
Can you use this process with a iron-on layered t-shirt?

New to Cricut and I do believe you have changed my life! You've shown me so much and how to use design space.

I’m so glad I found you! You have inspired me to open boxes of Cricut things I own! And to return to my 12’x16’ She Shed my husband built me 2 years ago!
Love the Cricut hacks! Thank you for sharing!
The pen hack is great. The protective cover on the mat is fantastic, I have so much trouble with putting it back on straight. Thank you so much for the great ideas. I have been learning so much from your videos.
Love, love, love the way you presented each hack and your enthusiasm for what you do. Watching you is always a pleasure.
I love all of these hacks. I've seen them all but forgot about most. I use the hack laying the plastic cover on the mat every day!!
I've used many of these but a new one for me is the lint roller, makes so much sense! Also like the pens. For very little money I can have a variety of colors that don't leave dots. Thanks Michael
I like the pen hack. I use the Paper Mate Ink Joy pens all of the time at work. I'm a nurse, so needless to say, I do a lot of writing. Ink Joy is my favorite pen.

I love the font site to see what you already have available in your computer and the ability to type in what you are printing!
I'm a newbie Cricut owner and love your teaching style. Very easy to follow. Thank you.
They were all my fav but to see how easy the parchment paper works you better believe I am grabbing mine out the kitchen and bringing to craft room for sure thank you so much!

Thank you, Michael! I really enjoyed the one for the toddler tub weeding container and already have one in my online cart. We currently use the fingernail polish holder ring, but I like this one better!
I wish I would've seen this sooner I bought mines from Dollar tree for 1.25 but I use mines as a shammy holder for stamp cleaning
I cannot say thank you enough for your resources and tutorials and being so informative without talking to us like we’re 3 years old
Please please keep doing what you do best!!!! Would love to see some faux leather crafts and iron on HTV to unique materials like beanie hats, perhaps shoes!?
The pens, lint roller, and the parchment paper hacks. Just giving me the confidence to use something other than the Cricut brand has helped tremendously!
I wish I could give you more than one star. You have helped me so much with these hacks. Thank you for being clear and easy with your instruction.
Great video...the one that made the biggest difference was putting parchment paper to align the vinyl. It saved many projects!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊
Love #10, 11, and 20. Will be trying them out soon! Your parchment paper hack I learned from you almost a year ago. Saves my sanity every time!☺️
I love all the hacks and appreciate you put them together ❤ My favorite is adding a different pin to the cricut machine
So many great ideas. Love the paper flower hack! Genious
I love that hack too! Thank you so much for watching! 😊
My fav was the lining up the cricut mat with the cover! I use the mats everyday and am OCD enough that it really rips me when my mat and cover do not line up. I think I owe you for OCD therapy!
Those are my favorite pens too!! I have a ton of them in every color in my classroom!!!! So excited to try this!!!
They’re amazing! 😍
My favorite was the toddler snack cup used for weeding!

So many great ones, Mr. Crafty Pants. I really love that you put them all together and not only explained it so well, but showed us it!
I have the nail Polish ring and love it. I’m definitely going to try the lint roller though. That looks great.
I bought that a Dollar Tree when I got my Maker. Works great .
I love the parchment paper hack, and peeling the vinyl off the mat the back way. I found your Utube channels last week and joined crafty this past Sat. love it.
#6 and up...I knew about the first five, but wow, those others took me by storm...Thank You...I will be using several of these.
I have to agree with other people about the parchment paper. Love that hack!
The hack I use the most would have to be the parchment paper hack! I just love how easy that makes it to line everything up. I would say my favorite hack is the pen hack. I've never used any pens other than cricut brand. I can't wait to try that one!
I enjoyed all of your ideas. Some I knew. But for all of your efforts and ideas thank you. I do love love star craft material.
I hang my cutting mats on a nail on the wall next to my machine and when I remove my protective covers I put them back on the nail and when I wanna put them back on I put my mat back on the nail Sticky side facing the protective cover and it goes on perfect every time
The pen hack is my favorite. Getting ready to try it now.

Regarding sharpening your blade. Look for one of those soldering iron tip cleaning pots. It's like wire wool but much thicker. Perfect for this.
So many tips!! Love them all. You're a great teacher.
My favorite was learning about the lining up other pens, but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE was learning that the pen clamp opens all the way, I had no clue! lol
I’m going to dollar tree tomorrow for one of those baby snack holders for weeding!
I have two favorites that are tied - the toddler tub for weeding and the pen hack at the end! Never seen it shown like this but does look so much easier! Thank you, MCP!!!

Lots of those hacks were cool, but the best one for me: the attaching your cover to the mat. I just did it and it was the BOMB!!!

Awesome hacks! I'll be going tomorrow to get pen holder and pens to try out that last hack. Thank you Mr. Craftypants!
Hard to pick there’s so many good ones! I think the parchment or paper towel roll. Genius!
The parchment paper hack is definitely by far my favorite hack.
Parchment paper and the pen hacks!

Such valuable information for a newbie like me! Thank you so much!!!

Glad I stayed to the end. The pen hack has been one of my biggest questions. Very informative tutorial. Thank you.
I love all of it 🥰 As a beginner I'm soaking it all up and saving as I learn. Thank you so much.
My favorite Hack is using parchment paper and the hinge method.
I about screamed when you ripped that doggone vinyl off. I can see that particular move going so, so, so very wrong for me. 😱😱
InkJoy Gel pens are perfection! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Love the protective sheet and the pen hacks the most. Already use the nail polish weeding tool and lint brush hacks. Will have to try the parchment aligning hack. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.

Good to know! How often should u change cricut blade? How do u clean ur mats?
