This has to be the best video for magnets. Well done

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

Thank you!

@bradnd99 3 года назад

Thanks for this. FYI...I have a Cricut Air Explore 2 and I was able to get similar results with 30mil magnets by creating a custom material with 350 pressure and the deep knife blade with 3x passes. It doesn't cut all the way through but it looks similar to what you get. My problem is that the sticker paper didn't seem to stick as well to my magnet sheet.

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

That’s great to know! What sticker paper are you using? I’ve never had that problem before

@bradnd99 3 года назад

@@FreestyleTravelShop I am currently using the Avia sticker paper i got on Amazon. I might try the Online Labels one next but I like this one and the quality of print I get from it.

thanks for sharing Brad, I was just wondering if the explore could do it!

@BraydenAlleman 20 дней назад

hi there do you make custom magnets and weather proof stickers for cars? I only have a cricut explore so i cant make them :(

@patriciateriaco471 8 дней назад

Are you able to make more than 2 magnets at a time?

@volkerkeck9185 3 года назад

Great!

@LiveWhereYouPark 3 года назад

Hi! Great tutorial. Have you done this with magnets that don’t have smooth edges? Most of what I cut has offset that is curvy, not solid like a circle or square. Hope that made sense.

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

Absolutely! Many of the custom order magnets I do are die-cut, the intricate cuts come out pretty well.

@LiveWhereYouPark 3 года назад

@@FreestyleTravelShop thank you. I was asking because I currently use a cameo 4 and cannot for the life of me get 30mil magnet to cut. It maybe goes halfway through. And I’ve tried everything. I see other cricut users making magnets and I’m thinking of switching back.

@CroakerOutdoors 3 года назад

Appreciate the video tutorial. Does the matte adhesive top prevent rain from ruining the magnet if on a vehicle? How long will it last outside?

@Rebecca-wp9pi 3 года назад

This is my question, what do you put on top to protect it for use on a vehicle.

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

Not necessarily - you can add an acrylic sealer to it to make it waterproof. The laminate helps for an occasional splash of water. Over time with repeated water contact, the ink could bleed

@SteveHencye 3 года назад

Very informative. Thank you!

@shannonramey5474 3 года назад

Perfect tutorial!! I’m sure I’ll have questions when I do these!

@shannonramey5474 3 года назад

Also...I have magnet paper that is sticky and printer paper that is sticky. Is that correct? Looks like your magnets sheet is not sticky.

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

My magnets sheets are not sticky - as long as the sticky sides of each are stuck together, I wouldn’t think that would be an issue. However sometimes the adhesives have a texture, so make sure that anything like that doesn’t show on the surface. Happy crafting!

@shannonramey5474 3 года назад

@@FreestyleTravelShop I just did one and it seemed to work ok..but my image is flat in color. I need to check my printer setting now. Thank you.

@mikeledee8786 3 года назад

Does the ink fade over time? I have seen this with inkjet ink even though I use uv waterproof spray sealant? Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks.

@anthonyannable1088 2 года назад

you need pigment printer if you don't want inks fading, dye printers, inks will fade.

@sandimiller5187 Год назад

Can i use regular transparent paper?

@scottmacphee3767 Год назад

Enjoyed your video, do u always use a matt finish?

@FreestyleTravelShop Год назад

Thanks! Using matte products is just a personal preference, I feel like it gives a more professional looking product

@ruthhesse4683 2 года назад

I'm a little confused on the list of supplies. do we need all the supplies? Magnets Weatherproof Matte Sticker Paper Oraguard 215 Laminate Film Sheets, Matte (didn't use) Oraguard 215 Laminate Film 150’ Roll, Matte 8.5”x11” 30mil Magnet Sheets Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer (didn't use)

@FreestyleTravelShop Год назад

The biggest things on this list are the magnet sheets, the sticker paper, and oraguard 215 - the two separate ones are for sheets and rolls

@confusedwithlife 3 года назад

I’m trying to find the oragaurd paper, but can’t find a retailer. All I find is removable contact paper :( do you have a link for the oraguard?

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

I haven't been able to find it on Amazon. CreativeCraftVinyl.com is one of the only places I have been able to find it where its not an industrial sized roll!

@melody48music 2 года назад

Can the cricut cut a name like Melody the Clown on magnet? I want to put my name on a clown car about 12 to 24 inches long on a magnet.

@ninam1838 3 года назад

Can these materials be used to make car magnets? Great video!

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

Thank you! Yes - but to make sure the ink doesn’t run from repeated water contact, use a sealant spray. I use the Mod Podge clear acrylic sealer

@mychellehawaii 2 года назад

What kind of printer and ink did you use? Also, thanks for making this video :)

@FreestyleTravelShop 2 года назад

I have the HP Envy 6055 printer with the HP Instant Ink service - they automatically send you the correct ink when you're running low. If you sign up for a free month, you can pretty much get unlimited ink! instantink.hpconnected.com/us/en/l/v2?jumpid=sc_kb5n2egzi6

@Cabledog1966 3 года назад

Hi! I went to your blog to get the links for the supplies you use. I also checked out the blog related to machine cut settings that was updated 3/31/2021 and saw that the settings for magnets is different that what you used in the video. What is the difference between cutting the thinner tooling leather with more pressure and the thicker tooling leather with more pressure? How many passes does the new setting make? Does the new setting cut completely through the magnet? Thanks

@FreestyleTravelShop 2 года назад

I found that using the thicker tooling leather setting was better because even though it's still slow, it's significantly faster than the thinner tooling leather setting. I think the thick setting is at 12 passes, and the thinner version was close to 20 passes!

@hystloko2890 2 года назад

Hey I have the same printer and my black in never dries on glossy sticker paper , do you have the same problem?? Thank you

@FreestyleTravelShop 2 года назад

Glossy paper is going to do that - I suggest printing on regular matte sticker paper and then adding a gloss laminate. It’s going to look the same, but will definitely print a lot easier

@manuellmontes Год назад

Hi. Can the silhouette cameo 4 cut magnetos sheets?

@FreestyleTravelShop Год назад

It can, but you need the craft knife blade and thin magnet sheets (20mm or less)

@manuellmontes Год назад

@@FreestyleTravelShop Thank you for answering my question. I bought 30 mm magnetic sheets then later realized you were using your cricket to cut this. I have the craft blade for the silhouette. I will order some 20 mm magnet sheets.

@jilljones8823 2 года назад

I've tried this and I can't get it to work. The magnetic sheet got stuck and then I tried with no laminate and it still didn't work. Any help?

@FreestyleTravelShop 2 года назад

Are you using the knife blade?

@yuuuuuppppp55 Год назад

Could this be done on the Cricut joy?

@FreestyleTravelShop Год назад

The knife blade for this thickness of material is only made for the Maker, however it might be possible with a much thinner magnet sheet

@donovandylan5898 3 года назад

I am using preexisting stickers. Is there a way to scan them into the printing/cutting program to die-cut around them once they are stuck onto the magnet sheet?

@donovandylan5898 3 года назад

I currently hand cut round and square sticker/ magnets with ease. What I am curious to know is, can the cricut machine be used to cut around intricate stickers once stuck to the magnet sheet?

@FreestyleTravelShop 3 года назад

That can be tough - your calibration would have to be absolutely 100% accurate. My suggestion would be to just cut the shape for the magnet and then apply the sticker on top
