Darn! You’ve lined up your snazzy design and have just welded all the layers together when you discover a tiny mistake in your shapes. How are you supposed to make those final adjustments now? While Cricut doesn’t officially offer an unweld feature, there are several ways to save yourself from an extra headache while you’re working in Cricut Design Space. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know, so you can start welding and unwelding like a pro.
Things You Should Know
- Press Undo to revert your welded shape back into individual layers. Try to do this immediately after you weld, otherwise the undo function may not work.
- Select your shapes and hit the Duplicate button before you weld them. That way, you have a back-up in case your initial welded shape is messed up.
- Choose the Unite feature instead of the Weld option to combine your layers. With Unite , you can adjust individual layers after the merge.
- Welded shapes cannot be unwelded on saved Cricut projects, so make sure that you’re happy with your project before you weld anything.

How to Weld in Cricut
-
Highlight all of the shapes that you’d like to weld together. Click and drag your cursor to select all of your desired shapes. If you’re using the iOS app, use your finger or a stylus/Apple pencil to select the shapes. [7] X Research source
-
Hit the Weld button. Click the Weld option at the very top of the submenu—it should be above Unite , Subtract , Intersect , and Exclude . Once you hit Weld , all of your layers will permanently combine, and you won’t be able to access the individual layers. [10] X Research source
- On iOS: Tap the Weld option at the top of the pop-up menu.
