I watched a Cricut YT video that said you could unweld, or use the undo button as many times as needed. Will try to find it in the pile of Cricut videos I've watched and saved in the last week! I'd like to think that it is a recently updated feature, but let's be honest, the more likely reality is that I'm simply confusing it with another technique demonstrated by one of the YT Cricut experts.
Hopefully there is an unweld feature. But I could not find it last week. Genius? Perhaps not. My ideas are always born of the fire of misfortune (making mistakes!!! ) I'm extremely stubborn and quite unwilling to let Cricut have the last word!I watched a Cricut YT video that said you could unweld, or use the undo button as many times as needed.

Meanwhile, your suggestion to save an unwelded version is genius!!
I love the "Sweater Weather"!!!
I wrap the band and then tuck the label portion under the soap and up into the back of the band. It is easy to gently pull the label out to read and then tuck back in. I named my company Dandelion Chi because I am hardy like a dandelion. I can grow wherever I am planted. Besides dandelions are beautiful even as they age.
Once we create and cut the stencil with the Cricut, my plan was to use regular face paint to create his "tattoos" since that's faster and less messy.
Glad it's not just me.
Something tells me that people who are "makers" are often determined people.Glad it's not just me.
Oh yes!
I can't say I'm allergic to metals, although I have terrible reactions to jewelry (especially earrings!) unless it is made with stainless steel, titanium, or 14k gold. Some sterling silver pieces are ok, but some aren't; my best guess is that some is nickel-contaminated, or has some manufacturing residue that my skin doesn't like.
I print the labels themselves on labels from Online Labels. I found that their weatherproof labels work much better in my area of high humidity. Plus they're easy to clean if they get dirty. The boxes I cut out on cricut, same with the tags. The tags I use cricut to print "draw" the flowers with ink, and to cut the rest of the the tag. The labels for them, I'm currently printing on Labels from Online Labels. Though that is mostly because I still have some printed and have to use them up. I'm going to see if I can print then cut when those run out since the paper is thinner.
The option to weld is greyed out when I select two cut lines. This only happens with lines.
Given the time It's taken to get this right, oh yes. After I changed the name to my etsy store, I'm STILL looking for one. I must be insane.
Hmmm. Do the lines overlap? I had to move one rectangle into the other rectangle before they would weld. Is this in the area of your box where it has the "dipped" shape?
Insane is defined as doing the same thing but expecting different results. You are doing different things and looking for different results. that is imho called "scientific creativity"
Agree with the tins issue. The pillow boxes are interesting because they can be made from fairly heavy paper materials which could be coated papers. There is another interesting type of box called easy fold. An Amazon search on "easy fold mailing box" will bring up the basic look. This box cannot be that difficult to make on Cricut. Am going to work on a small one from the thickest coated paper the Cricut will take. The question is could it be used for storage of lotion bars etc? It would depend on the coating of the inside of the paper. Coated papers use clay in many instances and lots of papers are made to be food safe. Neenah Papers has a very good website for ideas and paper info: Share
Not sure how to weld two lines together. If you want to cut a triangle shape out of a rectangle shape, use the slice feature.
Really love those soap bar sleeves! Did you design them or find a template? I’ve been looking and trying to design something similar but so far no luck. Maybe I am searching for the wrong thing.
They do. I don't know what the problem is.
I originally found a template at templates.io. But it wouldn't upload correctly so I redid it by hand in cricut design space and changed it to match what I wanted.
I see cut lines and score lines. Question. Are the double vertical lines to the far right both cut lines?
On the far right, those are the selected lines. This is how it looks without the line highlighted. But you have the rest of them correct. I extended the lines to make sure they are cut properly since I couldn't get the lines to join. I can't get any of the cut lines to join meld. All the cut lines are overlapping at least a bit but the meld option is always greyed out even when I select multiple cut lines. Do they need to be a different kind of line in order to get them to meld, then I turn them into cut lines after?
Let me check with my sister. She is my Cricut teacher and will know. Be back tomorrow.
Oh I hope you haven't gone to bed. I gave up and just completely used squares to get it to weld. Took me a while to get it right but at least it's done.
