Which

Materials Can I Cut With My Cricut

Explore and Maker Machine?
Cricut Explore & Maker machines cut so many materials that the only limit is your imag-
ination. From something as delicate as notebook paper to thick leather, these amazing

Guide
machines can do it all.

View a list of materials that can be cut on the Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker, and for
which we have created a setting in Design Space. The recommended blade type, cut-
ting pressure, and multi-cut setting for various materials are included. We are always
testing new materials and will continue to add to this list.

Note: Cricut Explore & Maker machines are not food safe, and cannot cut
fondant or similar materials.

Note: While the Explore & Maker machines can cut a wide variety of materials,
Cricut does not guarantee that they will be able to cut all materials. If your
material is not listed here, you can still give a try with the closest matching
material's settings, provided the thickness of your material is less than 2.0 mm
for Explore, and less than 2.4 mm for Maker.
