Note: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

 


I’ve been on team Cricut since 2014 when they came out with the Cricut Explore! I’ve made wall decals, organizational labels, t-shirts galore and tons of fun things for my home and kids with my Cricut. Here’s a list of fun things to make with a Cricut Maker for the whole family!

What can I make with a Cricut Maker?

Short answer- Anything! Long Answer- The Cricut Maker can quickly and accurately cut over 300 hundred materials, from the most delicate paper and fabric to the tough stuff like leather and basswood. Here’s a list of all the materials the Maker can cut. From 3D animal heads to leather earrings to toys for kids. You can literally make anything! 

Vinyl Crafts

Adhesive vinyl is one of the most versatile craft supplies out there! It allows you to personalize almost anything from mugs to walls to wood. Need a label that says “google eyes”? No problem? Need a first day of school sign? Vinyl has your back! Need teeny tiny labels for a doll house kitchen? Done! Personalized water bottle for Mrs. Hill? The Cricut maker vinyl cutting machine to the rescue! Vinyl will stick to glass, plastic, ceramic, canvas, metal, wood, and more!

1. Labels

One of my very favorite things to make with my Cricut Maker is labels. It’s quick, easy and very satisfying! Not to mention makes finding things a heck of a lot easier. Check out this post for details about my craft cabinet organization.

2. Doll house accessories

It’s hard to tell exactly how tiny these glass bottles are in this picture. For reference, each bottle is only 1.5 inches tall. Check out this post for more pictures and tons of DIY dollhouse accessories.

3. Signs

Wether you need a first day of school sign, happy birthday banner, or welcome home sign, you can make it all with your Cricut cutting machine! For this first day of school sign, I attached stick on vinyl to books covered in brown paper bags, but you can adhere it to tons of surfaces.

With a Cricut cutting machine you can upload your own images and use iron on vinyl to cut the any image out. Then, simply adhere the image to fabric with a heat source. Voila! Cutest baby rhino onesie you ever did see!

9. DIY Birthday T-Shirt

Personalizing t-shirts with iron in vinyl is a no brainer! Family reunions, Disney trips, Inside jokes, girl’s trips, and bachelorette parties are all worthy occasions for making personalized t-shirts with iron on vinyl! I made a set of silly Seinfeld t-shirts for Andy and the kids for Father’s Day.

Cricut Infusible Ink Crafts

Infusible ink is similar to heat transfer vinyl, but way better. It’s actual ink, so the items will never flake, peel, wrinkle, or crack. We’re talking about professional results made at home with a Cricut!

14. Library bag

This was my first attempt with infusible ink and it turned out awesome. Best part? The kids and I know where to keep the library books!
