Mirror design with Chomas Creations precision tip for the Cricut

I just love how this turned out to add to my Christmas decorations.  I used the Chomas Creations precision tip in the Cricut Maker to etch this design on a plastic mirror I found at Joanns.  I used a chalkboard font and it looks like it is filled in, the font is called KG Second Chances.  I did use a multi cut of 2 on this design.  You can find the Chomas Creations tool here... precision tip
You can do this with the entire Explore line as well for all my Cricut fans!

Chomas Creations precision tip in the Engraver

I had bought these thinner 1/4 inch bracelets from ImpressArt and I was struggling to get the Chomas Creations engraving tip to etch on the piece because it was too thin and the blade kept getting stuck on the edge of it.  I had this thought to add some of the thicker bracelets on either side of it and it worked like a charm!  I also made another template so I knew exactly where to add my bracelet.  Works like a charm!  I have a tutorial down a few posts below on how I did this as well as a video.  

If you want to find the Chomas Creations tools for the Cricut they are here... Chomas Creations

And happy news to all my Explore fans out there, these will work in the Explore as well.  They also go in the right side in place of the blade.

 This is the tool you can get for the ImpressArt to bend the bracelets.  So easy to do!

Troubleshooting: Maker engraver & precision tip not detected

I have been getting a lot of questions lately about the tools not being detected.
It is always on the right side in place of the blade as shown in the picture. Make sure you set your project to cut. You do NOT set your project to score or engrave as this will not work. When you send your project to be engraved make sure that you choose a fine point blade item for your project. I use the cardstock setting and I change the pressure that and use a mulitcut if necessary. 
Notice it says no tool is required in clamp A. If it is saying you need a tool in clamp A you need to change to a different setting. If it is saying it can not detect the tool in slot B you need to change to a different material.
The Chomas Creations engraver and precision tip will work in the Maker with the proper settings chosen.
