Engraved Christmas Ornament

"If you have always wanted to try engraving something with your Cricut then I have the perfect project for you. I will show you how to create this Mickey Mouse design and engrave it on a blank acrylic ornament using your Cricut. I created this project using my Cricut Explore, and a standard fine tip blade. I did this to show that you can engrave some items even if you do not own a Cricut Maker and the fancy engraving tips for it."
