5 Materials You Didn’t Know You Could Use With Your Foil Quill

Important tip before we get started: On the Foil Quill website, they recommend for you to do test pieces and test a section of all materials you use to make sure that your material is going to work effortlessly and flawlessly before you potentially wasting a large amount.

FABRIC

You all know you can cut fabric with your Cricut, that’s no surprise, but did you know that you can actually Foil Quill on fabric? You can! Just think of the amazing craft projects you could create with the foil quill and fabric!

We think this would be perfect for some beautiful throw pillows for your home!

VINYL

Next up, we have vinyl. I love using vinyl all the time with my Cricut machine, but if you want to be able to take your vinyl projects to a new level, being able to Foil Quill and then cut around the edges can make some incredible designs! If I was going to recommend one of these materials for a beginner, I’d suggest that you start with the vinyl.

PAPER PRODUCTS

Another item to consider using is some type of paper product – everyday paper, regular copy paper, cardstock, anything like that. You are not limited to 80 pound cardstock and 10-pound cardstock – you’re able to use just about anything that you can put in your Cricut. The paper crafters out there are going to LOVE adding foil quilling to greeting cards, stationery, wedding invitations, and more!

LEATHER

You can also use leather in the Cricut with the Foil Quill. How amazing would it be to make the leather earrings and be able to foil on them? I think it would be great to make some foil quilled leather bracelets with meaningful words on them. I’m really excited to try this out and see how durable they are.

WOOD

Last but not the least is wood. I’m all about using wood on as many projects as possible to create really awesome decor. The only challenge you’re going to face when using the Foil Quill with wood is that you’re going to need to use the knife blade.

That means you need to find a thin enough wood that will run through your Cricut machine easily. Just think, though, of the many beautiful signs, boxes, and other wooden projects you’ll be able to make and enhance with your die cutting machine and your Foil Quill.

There are so many fun materials that you didn’t know you could use with your foil quill. You’d be surprised how well it works on such a wide variety of materials. These foil quill tips and tricks will help you be a better crafter!
