MetalFects Sheets

MetalFects is a metal-look craft sheet. What comes in the package? You get four sheets of the MetalFects, as well as instructions for use.

Painting the Base

I used creamy off-white chalk paint for the inside of my sign and black for the frame portion. Add as many coats as you need to get good coverage.

Putting Cricut Metal Sheets on the Mat

Put MetalFects face-up on your StrongGrip Mat. They do recommend that you not place it all the way to the white line on the left side of your cutting mat.

Custom Material Setting

You will need a custom material setting for this material. If you are using an Explore Air 2 or earlier, be sure to put your dial on custom.

Cutting MetalFects

Once you have your custom material picked, it is time to cut your design from the MetalFects sheets.

Small Pieces During Cutting

Let’s take a look at something that might happen to you when this material is cutting. Small pieces may cut completely and pop out from your design during the cutting process.

Checking Your Cuts

Occasionally during the cutting process for these multiple-cut pieces, I suggest that you pause your machine and check to see if your material is cut all the way through.
