Cricut Tips for Beginners: How to Remove Materials from a Cutting Mat

The Technique

This technique is super simple, but will prevent your precious materials from ripping, bending, or warping. This not only ensures a smoother crafting experience but also saves you money in the long run.

• After cutting, flip the mat over.
• Begin by gently bending the mat backward, holding the material straight. Let the mat do the bending, not the material. The result? Your material stays perfectly straight, without any kinks or rips.
• This technique works for most any material with any type of Cricut mat.
