FAQ
Can you engrave glass with Cricut Explore Air 2?
I have discovered yet another thing I can do with my Cricut Explore Air 2. Did you know that you can do glass etching with the help of your Cricut? I didn’t even know that was a thing! Using your Cricut, make a stencil, apply the stencil to some glass, put on some etching cream, wait and there you go – frosted glass!
Which Cricut can engrave?
Which Cricut Machines are Compatible with the Engraving Tool? The Cricut Engraving Tip is only compatible with the Cricut Maker machine because the Maker is the only machine that uses the Adaptive Tool System and can apply the amount of pressure necessary to engrave.
