How to Make Bulletin Board Letters on a Cricut 

You got this! It’s okay if you make a mistake, you will only get better with time 😊

No need for multiple projects. Just one project :) All you do is click each letter that you want and change each letter to be whatever color and the cricut will sort the letters according to color! That way when you load your paper you would just load the different colored papers and the cricut will already have sorted each letter by color. In terms of wasting paper, you can cut the paper to fit the area that shows on your computer. Hopefully that makes sense.

Usually I use staples if the letters are big enough. If you use glue or tape it can rip your bulletin board paper. If you don't care then you could totally glue. Stapling is just the fastest.

For the thin letters I used a small piece of poster putty on each corner of the letter! You can also use glue dots, but staples don’t work very well for the thin letters

Yes you can. The software is the same it’s just more challenging to use card stock or paper because you have to adjust the dimensions of the paper to fit inside the Cricut joy.

A G thank you! I just use normal card stock from Michaels

It is regular card stock I got from Michael’s store 😊

I used fonts from teachers pay teachers Amy Grosebeck & Amanda Newsome! AGImExtra & PBCentralPerk

I used card stock setting. Make sure your paper is stuck on your mat all the way and that the corners are flat. If not try switching to a different mat, they have different colors that are stronger or less sticky to prevent tearing

I don’t usually laminate because of the glare and my letters don’t usually get ruined! But you totally can laminate the card stock first, then put it in your circuit to cut the letters.

I used car stock. The font color matters and has to match the paper otherwise your machine will get confused and can’t cut

@@paolavelasco2406 could you use construction paper?

Thank you! You have to download the fonts you want from the internet on to your computer. My favorites are from A Perfect Blend and Amy Grosebeck on teacherspayteachers.com

Great question!!

I have not, but you can do that. You just have to change the material dial setting to Cardstock+

@@paolavelasco2406 I did. 350 setting 2x fine point blade. Cricut didn’t cut through both sides of laminated cardstock

Kimberly Francz usually stapler! You can use any kind of adhesive like tape or sticky dots also

There is a brand called Better Than Paper that is really good!

Amazon, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Walmart or Lakeshore Learning!
