Learn how to do acrylic engraving with your Cricut and create beautiful baubles for your holiday tree!

Would you believe your Cricut Maker can actually engrave? It’s true — this powerful cutting machine isn’t just for paper, vinyl, and fabric anymore. With the right techniques and a small acrylic blank, it can carve out beautiful, professional-looking designs that shimmer and sparkle like glass. Acrylic engraving opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities, and it still amazes me every time I see those fine details appear right before my eyes. There’s something magical about turning a simple, clear acrylic ornament into a one-of-a-kind keepsake that catches the light and tells a story.
