Use Crayola Pip Squeaks Skinnies Markers in Your Cricut

by

Say What?!  You can use short, skinny Crayola markers in your Cricut?!  Really?  Yep.  So sayeth the Internet, so it must be true, right? 😛

Well, I hope it’s true as I just purchased a bunch of these markers and hope to soon give it a try.  AND…you can use gel pencil grippers as a holder for the markers.  WOW!!  So cool!  I happen to have a handful of those in my school supplies cabinets.  Excellent.

Check it Out!!

Here are some photos from Lylacfey who has used the markers and pencil grip holder in her Cricut.

I just bought 64 of those markers from Amazon for $13.38 and free shipping (for Prime members).

Why Would You Want These Markers?

So you have more color choice at less cost than the Cricut markers.  Then you can make your Cricut draw and outline things for you.

Here’s How to Use Markers in Your Cricut…

Using Cricut Markers in Your Cricut

Now, the process is similar when using the pencil holder and Crayola Pip Squeaks Skinnies Markers, but again, I haven’t tried it just yet since my markers won’t be here until Tuesday, so I can’t tell you the exact settings or the outcome.  You’ll do fine playing around with it if you already have those things.  Report back and let us know how it goes!!  I’ll be sure to post photos and a tutorial of my Crayola marker/pencil holder/Cricut use!!

  1. This is so exciting! Thank you for posting this! I would never have thought to use something other than the Cricut pens! I'm so excited!!

  2. I just tried the Pip Squeeks. Here are a few tips: Get enough gel grips for each marker. They are kind of a p.i.t.a. to put on. Put a piece of paper under the marker when you are inserting it into your Cricut so you don't mark up the inside. I used high, med, and low pressures. They all seemed to look the same. I would use the lowest pressure you can to get the most life out of your Pip Squeek. Thank you for this post!! I'm going to Dollar Tree to see if they sell the gel grips, since I only have two of them and sixteen Pip Squeeks:)

  3. i just purchased the mini gel pen holder (gellybug) of ebay but wished i would have seen this first might have been alittle cheaper. Where can you buy the pip squeek marker? kim

    • Hey Kim, Don't beat yourself up about buying the mini gel pen holder. When I tried this Pip Squeak Marker method, i just could NOT get it to work. I had everything I needed, but honestly the result was not worth the trouble. Maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did. I hope so!! Let us all know if it works out for you. Here's a link to the Crayola 64ct Pip-Squeaks Skinnies Markers . Here's something that DID work! Check out this video I did about using the Silhouette QuicKutz pens. . They are fun and work out GREAT! ~Joy~
