Product Information
Full details
The Cricut Smart Materials Starter Bundle is designed for owners of the Cricut Explore 3 and Maker 3 who want a curated set of essential materials for versatile crafting. This bundle provides the core supplies needed for both permanent adhesive decals and custom apparel projects, offering a convenient starting point for beginners. However, it is important to note that these materials are specifically engineered for newer machine models that support Smart Materials, meaning they may require a cutting mat for older Cricut machines.

FAQs
Can I use these materials with my Cricut Joy?
No, these specific Smart Materials are designed for the width requirements of the Explore 3 and Maker 3 series.
Do I need a cutting mat for these materials?
If you are using a Cricut Explore 3 or Maker 3, you do not need a mat. For older machines, you will need a standard grip cutting mat.
Is the vinyl dishwasher safe?
Yes, Cricut Permanent Smart Vinyl is water-resistant and suitable for glassware, though hand-washing is recommended to prolong the life of the design.
How long are the rolls included in the bundle?
The rolls in this bundle are 13 inches by 36 inches.
What is the best way to store the remaining materials?
Store the rolls in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original packaging to prevent dust or debris from settling on the adhesive backing.
Troubleshooting
The machine does not recognize the material
Ensure you are using a compatible machine (Maker 3 or Explore 3) and that the material is loaded straight into the feed slots.
Vinyl is difficult to weed
Check your cut depth settings in Design Space; if the blade does not cut through the vinyl layer, increase the pressure slightly.
Iron-On is peeling off the fabric
Ensure you are applying enough heat and pressure for the recommended time, and verify that the base material is pre-heated to remove moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your Cricut Explore 3 or Maker 3 firmware is updated via Design Space. Simply load the Smart Material directly into the machine slot until the rollers grip the material; the machine will automatically measure the length before cutting. For Iron-On projects, remember to mirror your design in the software before cutting and place the shiny side (liner) down on your material. Care instructions: For Smart Iron-On, wait 24 hours after application before washing the garment inside out in cold water. For permanent vinyl, allow the adhesive to cure for 48 hours after application before exposing the item to water or heavy scrubbing.
