Cricut Mat Re Sticky Ideas

* Use a lint roller (the kind you use on your clothes)
* Use a baby wipe (one without extra lotion or it might get greasy...use the generic less expensive kind)
* Wash it...Literally! Put it under the faucet and rinse it under warm water and let it air dry
* "Re sticky it"...if it really has lost the adhesive you can re do it .
* Two choices Spray adhesivespray adhesivebe sure that you use painters tape to cover the area where the Cricut rollers need to run.
*Or you can re sticky with Zig Glue zig glueand just cover the entire mat. Let it dry really well before you use it.

Now after re sticking your mat you need to "condition" your mat. It will be really sticky now and if you use a thin patterned paper it may be on the mat for ever soooo... use you clean hands and pat the mat ...all over to make it not quite so sticky and use your heavy cardstock as your first cut. Fun huh?!

Watch for daily Cricut Tips on my Let's Learn Cricut Facebook fan page. more contests too!

ScrapCessories.... LOVE IT!

I can't wait til I get my hands on mine but these are too cool. Such a neat organized way to store your cartridges with booklets and overlays all in one spot. Now you know I have been a die hard Jukebox lover...yes still really awesome when you are using Design Studio. But this product is such a terrific add on... my classes will be featuring my Cricut Flow Chart that detail what I think is the simplest way to handle my many...ok toooo many ... cartridges. Alot less clipping and clipping latches.
