So many people have thought that they cannot cut rhinestone templates with Cricut machines whether they be Cricut Explore machines or Maker machines. The answer is YES you can!
While you cannot design your own rhinestone template in Design Space (like you can in Silhouette software) you can grab a premade template and cut it.
Today I demo how to do just that. If you have a design you’d love to see ‘stoned’ let me know! We love hearing your ideas!!
BE SURE TO GO TO THE LIBRARY TO PICK UP YOUR FREE RHINESTONE TEMPLATE!!
Hi I have a cricut maker and would love to learn how to cut rhinestone patterns. I am currently working on a project and need help making a crown. I have an image in mind!
Hi Heather. If you want to design rhinestone patterns you will need to purchase something like Silhouette Business Edition Software. LMK if you’d like more info!
hello which program, there are many like the multicolor business edition
Hello! Great tutorial I really learned a lot. Is there a specific type of rhinestone you use or just any will do?
Hi Stefy! Thanks! I buy mine from the rhinestone world. They have to have adhesive on the back that is heat activated.
Hello,
If I have a cricut would downloading the silhouette business software be compatible?
Hi Adrian, YES! You can easily use it with your Cricut.
What type of paper are you using in the Cricut to cut pattern? Thank you. I have tried flock and velvet with no luck. What setting do you use.. vinyl, cardboard? Thank you!
I have used the Sticky Flock sold by the rhinestone world. Tammy often uses heavy cardstock.
I have the Silhouette Curio & I believe I have the business software (I can create my own rhinestone templates using it). I’ve just ordered the Cricut Maker after frustration with the Curio, do I have the right software to use on the Cricut Maker?
Yes, you sure do! Have fun!
Hi,
This was MAJORLY informative as I just bought a Cameo 4 and was wondering about it being able to cut rhinestone templates. I have a US Cutter machine as well, but it’s too large and can be difficult to adjust the blades for some flocking.
I love your blog and this website. Lots to learn.
Thanks
