During my darkest moments in some serious frustration with borrowing my church's cricut machine and trying to figure out how on Earth to use it, realizing the main problem was the board not being sticky enough, I realized, wait, there HAS to be a cheap solution for this...
I wanted to throw the thing. The paper kept slipping and the blade was cutting through all my precious tags for MaddiandAddiBowtique.etsy.com but you know, you can't break what ain't yours, and you shouldn't ruin your things either...

| HOW TO MAKE YOUR CRICUT BOARD STICKY AGAIN |
It's so simple, you don't even need pitcures. I even have safe Amazon links for you to click and buy. I'm that good.
Take your board (whatever brand you use, I hear there are a few), cover the frame: the non sticky part around the sticky part. It's important. The rollers go over this part and you don't want the rollers getting sticky stuff on them. I used scotch tape and regretted it, but it's all I had. You can use painting tape, or even cover it with paper.
Spray the adhesive spray around the board. Not too much in one spot (and remember, when it wears off you can always reapply more). If you spray too much in one spot, your paper will really stick. Learn from my experience. ;) I sprayed the board I use right there on the floor. It isn't messy if you're careful. Easy Peasy.
LET IT DRY completely. It's not sticky until it dries.
Remove your tape and enjoy!
