Product Information

Then, by pressing the two markers side by side on a sheet of paper, I add washi tape to the Crayola marker, at the same height as the one on the Cricut pen. It is therefore necessary to determine how high to place the marker. For this, I use washi tape to mark first the height of the Cricut pen in clamp A. All that remains is to gently insert the Crayola marker into the Cricut’s pen holder until the washi tape is at the right height. First, I need to tell you right away that these markers will work for the Cricut Explore and Maker families. Unfortunately, the Cricut Joy doesn’t have the same pen holder so I can’t include it in this test. If you want to use other types of pens in your Cricut, I think it’s best to get adapters for each pen. This will prevent you from breaking the Cricut pen holder.

It is still important to note that the tip of the Crayola markers is still wide and that the smaller the drawing or font, the less these markers will give a beautiful result. It is important never to force the pen holder, even for Cricut pens. The clamp should never be hard to close. If it’s difficult, there is probably something wrong. Several other markers, including fine-line Crayola markers, can work in your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker without the need for an additional adapter. Second, not all types of Crayola markers work in the Cricut. I tested a few other Crayolas I had at home and most of them were too big to fit inside the Cricut pen holder. Still, the Crayola marker gave more detailed writing for the smaller font than the Cricut pen. You can see it on the smallest “d” of Wanderlust.

I chose to compare Crayola markers to Cricut’s 1.0 medium tip. These are the two tips that are the most similar. If you’ve tried other pens, markers or pencils that work in the Cricut, leave it to me in the comments! If you use standard SVG cut files or standard fonts to draw with your Cricut, you’ll end up with a double line. However, there is a caveat! If your Cricut is still under warranty and you break the pen holder (the clamp A) using a product other than a Cricut product, Cricut may well refuse to replace it. So be very vigilant!

The SVG files and fonts that will be adapted to the drawing are also those that are designed for engraving, embossing and Foil Quill. In other words, they are single-line files. I tested several other markers I had at home thanks to my daughter who really likes pens and markers! I thought I had succeeded with the Staedtler triplus fineliner but when I closed the clamp, it bounced off!! No matter which marker you use, if the chosen design or font contains very close lines, you’ll need a fine tip like Cricut 0.4. Other markersBuying Cricut pens can be expensive. This post will show you how to use other markers, such as Crayola, in your Cricut machine. In fact, you have to imagine that what the Cricut would have cut with the blade is what will be drawn with the pen. How to find single-line images in Design Space
