Cutting Real Wood Paper with a Cricut Machine

We are often asked, “Which Cricut Cutting Blade works the best with each thickness of Real Wood Paper?”  Well, thank you so much for asking! We would love to answer your question! Keep scrolling for all the details.

Using Cricut with Wood Paper

Real Wood Paper Thickness Explained

All of our sheets begin as raw wood on one side, a layer of eco-friendly, biodegradable adhesive in the middle and then a backing of fleece, paper or another sheet of wood.

Fleece Backing Wood Veneer
Fleece Backed (.010″ thick) Shop Here

is a very thin, sheer, flexible backing appropriate for dollhouse enthusiasts, candle wraps, lamp shades, envelope liners…anything where flexibility, luminosity and light-in-weight is a must. The backing material looks and feels similar to very thin vellum. It is also excellent for adhering to another material such as cardstock, wood, etc. (.010″ Thick = 10 PT/165 GSM)

paper backing wood veneer
Paper Backed (.016″ thick) Shop Here

is slightly thicker than the Fleece backing. The paper backing has a texture and is excellent for adhering to other backing materials such as cardstock, wood, etc. This thickness is frequently used as wedding invitations that are glued to a larger sheet of cardstock backing. It has great flexibility for printing, textured backing to ‘grab’ adhesive and creates a beautiful, sturdy invitation, announcement, etc. (.016″ Thick = 16 PT/265 GSM)

wood backing veneer sheets
Wood Backed (.025″ thick) Shop Here

is very strong and sturdy yet still has the flexibility to run through laser printers using the straight feed feature. There is wood on both sides which is perfect for announcements, menus, invitations, programs and more. You get to see the beauty of the wood on both sides. (.025″ Thick = 25 PT/414 GSM) 

Which Cricut Blade Do I Use?

For our Fleece Back and Paper Back sheets, we used the Premium Fine Point Blade.  We just had to adjust the paper and pressure settings. For our Wood Back sheets, we used the Deep Point Blade. 

Which Cricut Mat Do I Use?

Due to use, the mats get less sticky over time therefore we used painters tape on the edges of the Real Wood Paper to hold the sheets in place on the mat. Real Wood Paper is too beautiful to waste with mistakes! We want to be confident that our Real Wood Paper won’t slide during the cutting process. So in reality, we were less concerned with which specific mat to use (LightGrip, StandardGrip or StrongGrip) (StrongGrip is recommended) and just made sure the Real Wood Paper sheet wouldn’t move by using painters tape around the edges.

Using Cricut with Wood Paper

Project Details

We used the Cricut Maker and the starting project that’s included in the box because we know you’ve all completed that project and are familiar creating it with regular cardstock that Cricut provided. It’s also an excellent project to show that you can not only cut but also write on our Real Wood Paper.

To make this start project and any future projects, use the settings below for cutting Real Wood Paper sheets on your Cricut Maker machine.

Cricut Settings to Cut Real Wood Paper:

Real Wood Paper Thickness: Fleece .010″ Thick
Cricut Blade: Premium Fine Point
Cardstock Setting
: Medium Cardstock – 80#
Pressure Setting: Default

Real Wood Paper Thickness: Paper .016″ Thick
Cricut Blade: Premium Fine Point
Cardstock Setting: Poster Board
Pressure Setting: More Pressure

Real Wood Paper Thickness: Wood .025″ Thick
Cricut Blade: Deep Point
Cardstock Setting: Natural Wood Veneer
Pressure Setting: Default

PRO TIP: Make sure your blades are new/sharp. Wood is hard on blades. For best results use new blades.

Real Wood Paper is real wood shaved into thin sheets from real trees. There is grain design. There is real texture. The ink is not perfectly solid but that is what makes drawing and doodling on Real Wood Paper unique and one of a kind! And with Micron pens, there is no ink bleed!

You asked and we have tested a few printers for yo You asked and we have tested a few printers for you! While we are not in the printing business and cannot possibly test every inkjet printer and laser printer on the market, we know our customers want to know what printers will print on Real Wood Paper. 

We recommend for our DIY Customers that using a straight through feed laser printer is the best option. We have noticed that it is getting increasingly more difficult to find laser printers with a straight through feed here in the USA. For that reason, we have tested a couple of reasonably priced home and/or office printers that you can have success DIY Printing on Wood.

You will notice in our printed samples below that all are printed on our Short Grain 8.5″ x 11″ Real Wood Paper sheets. Why Short Grain and not Long Grain? The wood paper is more flexible when bent with the grain so with that said, short grain allows the wood paper to bend around the rollers inside of the printers easier than long grain can.

A dear artist friend had a lot of embroidery hoops A dear artist friend had a lot of embroidery hoops left over from a art class project. While brainstorming on how to repurpose the leftover hoops, she came up with making wood tambourines. Using our .025" thick Maple wood back sheets, cut a circle to fit the hoop perfectly, and glued together using a glue gun. Because she is an artist, she added a beautiful painting with acrylic paint. 😍 #realwoodpaper #woodpaper #woodart #littlefineartsstudios #acrylicpainting #acrylicart #acrylicpaintings #acrylicpaintingonwood #butterflyart
