In this tutorial, we'll show you how to make iridescent (aka dichroic, color-changing, holographic) material that you can cut on your Cricut. This unique material is flexible but doesn’t tear. It’s both transparent and reflective — and casts rainbow shadows and reflections in the sunlight. You can also heat bend it!
We'll also share an interlocking flower design and show you how to assemble it and then heat bend it to curl the petals.
If you'd like to follow along, you can download the Interlocking Flower SVG here: https://cuttle.xyz/@mokey/Interlocking-Flower-fXZXkLcNtwl6
Note: You can use this same technique to laminate clear acrylic with iridescent window film for laser cutting!
