Cricut

Hello everyone, Did you know you can use your Cricut machine to cut polymer clay?  You just need to condition it well first.  You should use a pasta maker and then use the thin setting after you have it conditioned well.  Lay it on a deli sheet, (or freezer paper?) and bake for about 10 minutes.  This should be enough time for such a thin piece. Take it off of the paper right away so it does not stick.  Lay it on your mat and secure with painters tape.  Put your settings on 5 and try it out.  You can use these items on your mixed media or jewelry projects.  I think maybe placing threm back in the oven might help to make them stronger but if you would like a more detailed discription visit Crafttestdummies.com .  Have fun and leave me a comment if you try this!  Thank you and have a great day!Crafttestdummies.com
