Silhouette Cutter

Post by jim burchett »

Just got a Silhouette cutting system and was wondering if anyone has used this to cut Silver Foil? I was thinking of placing it between a folded sheet of paper.Thought i would ask before wasting any foil

Hi Jim,
I just bought the Silhouette Cameo (great bundle price from Costco) because I saw on a FB group that someone had cut thin copper foil by attaching the foil to the cutting mat (which is sticky) and then taping a piece of paper over the copper. I haven't tried it yet but it's on my to-do list.

I bought a silhouette (last year?) to cut fiber paper. I tried 1/8 and it was a mess, so it's on my list to try 1/16. Give me a holler if either of y'all have done this and succeeded!

I plan on trying it with fiber at some point. Saved this pic of someone else's attempt:
