Silhouette Mats

Can you use a Cricut Cutting Mat with a Silhouette Cameo?

Yes, you can. Although you might find it a little bit difficult to fit the Cricut Cutting Mat into the Silhouette Cameo as the general sizes of the mats are a little bit different. What you can do is to use the Silhouette Mat as a reference to find out how to place the Cricut Mat in the Silhouette Cameo. Also, you can cut the Cricut Mat according to the size of the Silhouette mat. To do so, you can place the Silhouette Mat on the top of the Cricut Mat and cut the latter, or you can remove the plastic and stick the Silhouette Mat to the Cricut Mat and then cut it.

For more information on how you can use the Cricut Mat in the Silhouette Cameo, please refer to this beautiful and detailed video by ElleBee Creates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNefgPY1lR8

How to clean a Silhouette Cutting Mat?

There are different ways you can clean your mat.

The first way is to clean your mat with a sponge using soap and water. Scrub it gently with a sponge and rinse with water afterwards. Whether you want to dry pat it with a lint free towel or leave it to dry itself, it’s up to your convenience. Please remember not to use it until it’s completely dry.

You can also clean your mat with non-alcohol wipes that don’t contain bleach.

There are a couple of points to remember to make the process easier for you:

The cleaning process would be more convenient for you if you remove the cut material as soon as you finish using the mat because after some time it will be harder to remove. 

You can use a lint roller to get rid of smaller parts of the material on your mat.

Make sure to always cover your mat with plastic when you are not using it, that would prevent it from accumulating dust or any other kind of dirt.

No matter which way you choose to clean your mat, please be gentle with it.
