Measurements Matter:

  • Use a 6" digital caliper to measure the spring and the post it fits over.

Cricut Design Space :

  • Create a circle for the dimensions of the washer

  • Create another circle for the dimensions of the hole in the center.

  • Place the two circles on top of each other

  • Select both circles and use the align function

  • Align them vertically and horizontally.

  • Select both circles again and Slice them.

  • Remove all of the unnecessary sliced pieces.

Create a Custom Material Setting:

  • Click Browse All Materials

  • Click material settings at the bottom

  • Scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Add New Material"

  • New Material Name "Silicone 2 MM"

  • Click Save

  • Back at the top slide all the way to 350

  • Click Fine-Point Blade

  • Set Multi-Cut to 4x

  • Click Save


Material Prep:

  • Purchase food-grade, heat-resistant silicone mats (I used 2.0 mm) - [Amazon Affiliate link ].

  • Cut the necessary amount of silicone.




  1. Cricut Crafting:

    • Attach the silicone to a strong Cricut mat using painter's tape.

    • In Cricut Design Space, make the project.
