Awsome I have so tried the spray glue it stinks and doesnt work! The Zig glue works great! Thanks so much for the idea!!!
Check sellers through Google. The smaller Cricut
is between $100-$160. The “Expression” which has a 12″ cutting area can be priced between $190 – $340. I got the Expression during Black Friday sales for $188. You might even try Ebay.
how much is the Cricut
machine
just this past week someone told me to try spray adhesive. do yourself a favor and purchase some for your mats! way cheaper than buying new ones.
nice I am gonna try it too! Thanks so much
Be careful I think if you do this it will void your warrenty with Cricut
…THough I am going to try it but I have heard from groups it can void it
Do you wash your mat first and then put the glue on?
thanks i need to try it ,:)
i bought mine online
I did this to my old mats and love the result. It actually works better than new mats. it doesnt tear or keep paper fibers like new mats do. I prefer this glue than a new mat. everyone should try it.
you can also use a spray adheasave or fabric tacky spray
where do you buy the zig pen ?
Thanks Robyn! I just bought the zig pen and i am about to try it!!!
Yah!
Thanks for sharing.
Wow ! Thanks for sharing.
I have been using this technique consistently for the past 6 months or so ever since I first saw this video. It works GREAT! Thanks for the money-saving tip!
You can get them at Michaels, JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, or places online.
Wow! this is so cool!
Thanks
Deb
this is a wonderful tip, saves so much money. Thank you for it.
thanks to all who told you and you for the video.
hi, where did you buy the glue?
Cool think I’ll try that!!
After all the goody is gone flip it over and use the other side. Because you can see the grid it makes cutting or lining up easy. I used in my Sunday school class for finger painting pad and that works to (sticky side up, usually just enough stick to keep paper from sliding.
I bought the Zig’s glue and this works awesome on the mats! Thanks for the tip!
I stumbled across the tip of using basting spray for the mats! It works great, and doesn’t gum up the blades…just my thoughts…
