How to Cut Multiple Scraps of Vinyl on One Cricut Mat

Today we are going to learn how to set up and cut multiple scraps of vinyl on one Cricut mat. This trick can save time and also use up that stash of scraps you've been hoarding, I mean saving like me ;)

This super quick technique works best when you are cutting all of your designs out of the same material with the same blade.

>>> Keep in mind that if you are cutting different materials, you want to use separate mats so you can have the machine cut with different blades/pens, etc. 

First, let's open a new canvas in Cricut Design Space.

Upload your design. I am using the All American Mama design, which is part of the Holiday Starter Bundle.

I resized the design to 7" wide to fit the material scraps I am using.

Now click Make It.

This brings you to the screen where you see the design has been split by color onto 3 mats.

We are going to move all designs onto the 1st mat from this screen.

• Choose the 2nd mat and click on the design.
• Click on the 3 dots ... in the upper left hand corner of the design.
• Choose Move Object.

This will throw the designs on top of the design already on mat 1.

Don't worry, we will fix those later.

Now choose the 3rd mat.

Click on the 3 dots ... in the upper left hand corner.

Click Move Object.

Now all of the designs are on mat 1 and they definitely look a bit jumbled.

Use your mouse to move the designs around so they have a little space between them.

Click Continue. Set your material and insert the correct blade.

I loaded my vinyl scraps onto the single mat. Then double check to make sure they match the sizes on your mat screen.
