Want to know where to start in creating a logo for your Cricut business? You’re in the right spot.
Logos are a big part of a company’s overall brand identification. A brand is what a person thinks about when they hear your business name or see your logo. Think of some big name companies and notice the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of those businesses; Apple, Starbucks, Nike, Chik-fil-A.
When creating a logo for your Cricut business you shouldn’t overthink it but you should put some thought into it. Today I’ll let you in on some tips on how to get starting with creating your logo.
As I stated before, your logo is what people will remember and associate with your brand. A logo is a simplistic way to present your business to the world. I have a few options below that go deeper into why you need a logo for your Cricut business.
Your logo represents ownership.
Every time you ship a product with your logo on it, you are imprinting your brand identification on customers. Your customers will associate whatever product they bought from you, to any similar product that they see while they’re out and about. They will also refer your products to others if your product, price and customer service is good.
If there are multiple businesses selling the same thing as you, your logo and brand is one way to set you apart. Your logo sets you apart from competition because it reveals who you are as a business and differentiates you. Make sure your logo for your Cricut business is distinguishable while being memorable.
Expands your marketing presence.
Again, when you put stickers with your logo on your product packaging you’re expanding the marketing presence of your brand. Go logo crazy and put your logo on your website, Etsy shop, social media, products, thank you cards, etc.
What your logo symbolizes
Your logo should symbolize what you stand for so you should be sure to act and create content in a way that displays what you want to portray. Branding experts will say the colors in your logo make a difference. I agree and will add that the colors, font and icons in your logo can send certain messages so be mindful of this when developing a logo for your Cricut business.
Where to make your own logo
There are several online tools that also you to make your own logo. A few of them include:
Tailor Brands – they let you enter your business name and go through the selection process of choosing different fonts and features that appeal to you. However, in order to see the finished logo options, you must create a free account.
Looka – This site is similar to Tailor Brands and asks you enter some info on your business name, identify the industry for your business, select some logo designs that appeal most to you and choose colors you like best. You also get to choose what icons you want to be included in your logo and make some additional features. In order to continue editing your logo you will have to create an account.
Ucraft – This site lets you design your own logo from scratch. There are icons, text and shapes you can choose from and edit to make the logo of your choice. I suggest using this source if you have graphic design skills or if you just want to try your hand at designing.
An alternative to making your own logos is buying them. You can quickly and easily buy logos on Etsy, Fiverr, and other places. I’m sure you’re familiar with how Etsy works, just type logo in the search box and you’ll get hundreds of thousands search results.
Fiverr is a bit different in that you reach out to an actual person to design your logo. You may need to provide that person with some details about your business to give them direction on the logo you want for your Cricut business logo.
I hope this blog post was helpful. Don’t overthink your logo for your Cricut business and remember that you can always rebrand. Sometimes we as creators get into the details of little things that don’t make a big difference. So yes come up with a logo that you plan to use for a while, but also focus on the other business components that will really move your business forward.
The Startup Costs of Different Cricut Businesses
Many people buy their Cricut machines with anticipation of creating crafts for their family, friends and loved ones. Other people, like myself, buy their Cricut machines in anticipation of creating crafts to sell. Regardless of which category you fall in, or if you’re a combination of the two, starting a business with your Cricut machine can be an exciting adventure.
I currently sell my Cricut crafts on Etsy, my blog and in person and I must say that I’ve had success that motivates me to keep moving forward. While there’s waaayyy more to a Cricut business than just creating your crafts/products, such as filing as a business in your state, marketing, creating your designs and determining how to price your items, I wanted to talk about the startup costs of different Cricut businesses.
As you may have expected, depending on what crafts/products you plan to make and sell with your Cricut machine, the cost of running your Cricut business will vary. In this post I will cover the basic supplies you need to sell the different Cricut crafts/products.
Please note that your prices may vary depending on where you buy your supplies. Also note that you may need additional supplies for packaging and shipping your crafts/products. My calculation estimates do not include taxes or shipping of your supplies to you. My calculations also assume that you have a Cricut machine, Cricut basic toolset and Cricut mats.
For each of the Cricut projects I will talk about, there are supplies you need for each one.
Must have:
For all Cricut businesses, you must have a Cricut basic toolset, a Cricut machine and a Cricut mat. When you first buy a Cricut machine it comes with a Cricut mat and some Cricut bundles come with the mats and the basic toolset, vinyl and more.
Cost: The cost for wood signs projects varies depending on the type of wood sign you want to sell. You can sell circular wood signs, square wood signs (most often used for wedding signs) and rectangular signs (most often used for door signs for your home). You can go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and get most wood for less than $20.
Cost: You can get tumblers just about anywhere and the price of the tumblers varies from about $10 all the way up to 50+ for brand name tumblers such as Yeti.
I hope you enjoyed this post on the Startup Costs of Different Cricut Businesses.

Different Types Of Cricut Businesses To Start
A lot of Cricut owners have probably considered selling their crafts at one point in time. If you’re ready to start selling the projects you make with your Cricut machine or if you are in the consideration stage, this blog post will inform you of the types of Cricut businesses you can start.
This is not a comprehensive list of all the Cricut businesses that you can start, but gives you an idea to get you going. In this blog post, A-Z Cricut Projects to Make or Sell, I outline 65 different projects that you can make and sell with your Cricut machine.
Heat transfer vinyl
HTV projects are any projects that are made with heat transfer vinyl. In my personal opinion, these projects are in highest demand. People love graphic tshirts and they love personalized tshirts. You can sell these shirts for as much or as little as you want, but it’s good practice to offer a competitive price. You can use my Cricut Pricing guide or Cricut order form to assist you in your Cricut business. The different htv products you can sell as part of your Cricut business include:
Aprons
Tshirts
Kitchen towels
Koozies
Makeup bags
Pillow cases
Tote bags
Svg files
Svg files are scalable vector graphics that aren’t pixelated and allow you to make clean cuts with your Cricut machine. While you can create your own cut files in Cricut Design Space, you can also use Adobe Illustrator to create your graphics, which is what I do.
Svg files are very popular on Etsy with more than 804,000 results for svg files at the time this blog post was written. There are other online marketplaces whee people sell svg files including Creative Market. A quick search on Pinterest will also show that lots of people are looking for svg files.Tips on selling svg files:
Come up with sayings that people are looking for
Make seasonal svg files
Consider selling commercial licenses for your svg files
Paper
I personally love selling paper crafts because cardstock is inexpensive. My favorite stores to buy cardstock include Amazon, Michaels and Joann Fabric store. As with any Cricut business, you will need to make sure you have enough cardstock on hand for when people place orders. The different paper products you can sell as part of your Cricut business include:
Confetti
Cupcake toppers
Gift boxes
Gift tags
Greeting cards
Stickers
Decals and labels
Vinyl decals and labels are very popular for applying to tumblers, wine glasses, spice jars and laptops. Instead of you selling the actual tumbler or wine glass with the vinyl on it, you can just take custom orders with a name or phrase, cut it out of the vinyl and ship the vinyl. As people try to get more organized in their household decals and labels are in consistent high demand. The different decals and labels you can sell as part of your Cricut business include:
Vinyl name decals
Laptop decals
Spice jar labels
Car decals
Wall decals
Drinkware
Personalized drinkware is very popular and a quick search on Etsy and Pinterest will validate that. People love putting their name or favorite quote on mugs and tumblers. For weddings, personalized wine glasses and shot glasses are always a hit. The different drinkware products you can sell as part of your Cricut business include:
Mugs
Shot glasses
Tumblers
Wine glasses
Wood signs
Wood signs can add an upgrade to any home decor or event. Wood signs are perfect for home decor with your favorite scripture or phrase on them, for your baby’s nursery and for a welcome sign outside your house. Wood signs are also perfect for welcome signs at weddings and so much more. Tips on selling wood signs:
Determine what size signs you want to sell
Determine the stain color options you want to sell
Determine phrases or quotes you want to put on signs
Acrylic signs, similar to wood signs, add an element of elegance to events. Acrylics signs are popular for wedding welcome signs, wedding bar signs, wedding seating charts and so much more. Tips on selling acrylic signs:
Determine what size signs you want to sell
Determine phrases or quotes you want to put on signs
Determine if you will paint your signs
For any product that you decide to sell, be sure to do extensive research before you start selling. You may want to start selling one type of product just to get you going, and eventually expand your product offerings. Other things to consider include:
Determining a name for your Cricut business
Registering your business with your Secretary of State office

Why You Need A Cricut Pricing Tool/Guide
Have you ever felt embarrassed to say what you charge for a product you made with your Cricut out of fear someone will say “that’s too much”?
There’s nothing worse than wanting to sell the products you make with your Cricut, and when you finally do, feeling like you undersold yourself. You tell yourself “that was just one time.”
Pricing the products you make with your Cricut machine can be tricky. If you sell your products too high no one will buy them. If you sell your products too low no one will buy them because they’ll think the quality is low and you won’t get your return on investment.
Below are the top 3 reasons why toy need a Cricut pricing guide.
Easily price items
A pricing guide allows you to easily price the items you make with your Cricut machine. The Cricut pricing guide has built in formulas that let you change the price of materials, profit you plan to make, etc to get to the price you feel most comfortable with.
Pulling numbers out of thin air gets old and tiresome. Having a defined method for pricing the products you make with your Cricut gives you one less thing to worry about.
If you’ve been selling your creations for a while with no methodology you can forget why you decided to charge a price and you can undersell yourself when the price of materials costs more than you accounted for.
Serious about selling
If you want to run a part time or full time business with your Cricut machine, having a pricing guide will help you tremendously! There will be items you’ve already priced such as tshirts, tumblers, etc, but there will be times when a customer requests something that you haven’t considered selling or that is more enhanced than what you currently sell.
When the question “How much will you charge for X” is thrown at you, this Cricut Pricing Guide will help you easily price the item. When you can quickly give a potential customer a price for something, that lets them know that you are serious about your business.
If they think your pricing is too high initially, when they see the quality of your service and products, they’ll turn into repeat customers.
My Cricut pricing spreadsheet will help you take the frustration out of pricing your creations. This spreadsheet gives you a methodical way of pricing your products.
Are you a neat freak or perfectionist? I sometimes consider myself to be both, but oftentimes when I’m in my crafting zone those things don’t mesh well. When you’re crafting it can be hard to keep everything in order and sometimes your craft room gets so out of whack and messy that you just have to stop, recoup and then put everything back where it needs to be.
It can be the same way when you’re creating orders with your Cricut machine. If you’ve ever tried to take orders for your Cricut business using scraps of paper, you’ll know how hard it is to keep up with that process. Below I will highlight the top 2 reasons why you need a Cricut order form.
Keep everything in one place
I designed the Cricut Order form to help you keep all your orders in one place. The order form can also be referenced for future projects.
Lets say you made a T-shirt a few months ago in a certain size and you used a specific SVG design. A new customer wants the same design for the same shirt size. You didn’t save the project in Cricut design space and you’re a perfectionist so you want that design to be the same size as the previous design was. With your Cricut order form you can flip through your order binder and find the size of that design easily. That’s just one benefit of using the Cricut order form.
Separate your order types
Another benefit of using the Cricut order form is that you can separate your forms by product type. For example, you can use one order form for your drinkware, another order form for wood signs, and another order form for T-shirts. You don’t necessarily have to segment your products but if you want to be consistent and keep things separate that would be another benefit of using the Cricut order form.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post on why you need a Cricut order form. This form is especially helpful if you create a lot of projects regularly with your Cricut or if you have a part-time or full-time Cricut business.
Before you bought your Cricut machine you had tons of projects in your mind that you would make. After you bought your machine, you sat down at your desk with your machine and Cricut Design Space open and your mind went blank.
What should I create? Or even if you did have an idea of what to create, you didn’t have an exact design in mind.
I run into the same wall every so often and that’s why I’m writing this post, to help you find Cricut projects to make. Because I create blog post and tutorials on how to make different Cricut projects, I do a lot of research on the projects I want to make.
I then go to the store and buy the supplies, then come home and make those projects. So I have a process that I typically use for determining what Cricut projects I want to make.
I want to help you streamline your process of coming up with Cricut project ideas, designing (or buying) the svg files, buying your supplies and then making your project. So let’s jump right in.
Looking for Cricut project ideas – broad
I created this A-Z list of Cricut projects you can make or sell. This list is one of my top blog posts that people read. This list of 65 Cricut projects gives you an idea of the different things you can make with your Cricut.
While 65 projects gives you a starting point, you need to get to the next level. So first, choose a project on the list and move to the next level below. So let’s choose cake toppers.
Researching your Cricut project idea – specific
Now that you know that you want to create cake toppers, you can then go to Pinterest, Google, Etsy, the Cricut Project section in Design Space, your favorite craft store or Instagram or Facebook groups to get an idea of the type of cake toppers that exist.
My top 2 choices are always Pinterest and then Etsy. I use Instagram hashtags as a third alternative and Facebook groups as a fourth alternative. When I go to Pinterest I’ll type in cake toppers in the search bar. Before you click enter you’ll see a dropdown list that looks like this:
This list shows you things that people are looking for. You can see cake toppers for weddings are trending on Pinterest.
People also want to know how to make cake toppers with their Cricut machine. You can press the enter button now and you will see colored rectangles at the top of your Pinterest page which are highlighted in pink in the image below.
This will give you more detail on the type of cake toppers people are looking for. You can click the arrow to the right to scroll and see all the colored squares.
If you know the exact type of cake topper you’re looking for, you can type that in. Let’s say we’re looking for cake toppers for a baby shower. Now you can scroll through the different pins to get an idea of the type of design you can make.
Now we’ll hop over to Etsy to see the type of baby shower cake toppers that are available. Again, if you start typing baby shower cake topper in the Etsy search bar, you will see a dropdown list of the type of cake toppers people are looking for.
Let’s choose baby shower cake topper elephant. You can then scroll through the results to get an idea of the type of cake topper you want to make. Some of the results will be irrelevant but keep scrolling until you find something you like.
After you have decided on a specific design for your Cricut project, you can design your svg file in Cricut Design Space or Adobe Illustrator yourself or you can buy the design online on Etsy, Creative Market or whatever other online store you use.
If you buy an svg file or design files online, and you want to sell that design on a tshirt, coffee mug, etc. be sure that you purchase or inquire about the licensing of the design so you won’t get into any legal trouble.
Materials to make your Cricut project – cake topper
Depending on the design you decided on and the type of Cricut machine you have, you’ll need to buy the materials to create your cake topper. Cake toppers can be made from a variety of materials including cardstock, wood, acrylic, and other materials.
Again, depending on the type of Cricut machine, you may or may not be able to cut certain materials.
Let’s say you want to make your cake topper out of cardstock, here are the materials you will need:
I use this process every time I am looking for Cricut projects to make. It’s a simple combination of using different platforms to see what’s already out there. Obviously, you can put your own spin on your designs to make them unique.

A-Z Cricut Projects to Make or Sell
I got my Cricut Explore Air 2 in 2018 and hit the ground running creating gifts and home decor. I’ve created everything from personalized mugs and shadow boxes to tshirts. The projects you can make with your Cricut are endlesss.
If you’re new to creating with your Cricut or if you’re looking for Cricut projects to sell, I have created a list of 66 Cricut projects that you can make or sell.
Having a Cricut machine is very exciting and also very intimidating. If you are just getting your Cricut machine, you can be tempted to leave it sitting and collecting dust until you figure out what you want to make.
You may say, “I’m going to give myself a week to search online and figure out how to use my Cricut machine.” But then a week turns into 3, and 3 weeks turns into 3 months and you still haven’t opened or used your Cricut machine.
Don’t let that be your story. Cricut machines aren’t cheap and I assume that you bought/received your Cricut machine in anticipation of making awesome crafts! Well, I have outlined 66 awesome crafts for you to make with your Cricut machine.
Advent calendars are perfect for counting down the days until Christmas. You can make your advent calendars out of cardstock and get creative with the ideas/things that you do each day leading up to Christmas.
2. Aprons
Aprons are an easy heat transfer vinyl project and you can put a variety of designs on your aprons. You can make aprons for yourself, your friends and family or to sell. Check out the variety of aprons from Amazon.
3. Alphabet blocks/cubes
Alphabet wooden blocks are perfect to decorate a table for a baby shower, nursery or for a birthday party. You can paint the wooden blocks or just put vinyl on them. Get creative and spell out your name, home or love.
4. Birthday cards
One of my favorite materials to use with my Cricut machine is cardstock. I especially love making birthday cards with my Cricut machine. The design ideas are endless and you can also spruce up your birthday cards by adding sequin and confetti mixes to make shaker cards.
5. Bows ( faux leather)
Faux leather bows are super easy to make with your Cricut machine and they are so cute. I appreciate that you only need a few supplies including faux leather,hair bow clips, and hot glue to bring these bows to life. If you have girls in your family, I definitely recommend making them some faux leather bows with your Cricut machine.
6. Candle Jar Decals
If you’re like me and you love Bath and Body Works candles but hate throwing away the candle jars (because we’re environmentally conscious), you can use your candle jars to decorate your home by applying vinyl to them. You can also paint them before applying vinyl. I’ve seen people repurpose them to use for the holidays and upcycle them by putting knobs on the top and putting cotton swabs and cotton rounds on the inside.
7. Candy Dome Holders
Candy dome holders have been the recent rage and I must admit, they’re really cool and super easy to make. I prefer to print then cut my candy dome holders to create a variety of cartoon characters and other graphics. You can make these as party favors and even sell them as party favors.
You can’t drive down the road without seeing at least a few dozen cars that have car decals on them. Car decals are by far some of the simplest projects you can make with your Cricut machine, all you need is vinyl!
9. Cake toppers
I love cake toppers and love making them for my birthday and for family and friends birthdays. Cake toppers are super easy to make because all you need are skewers and cardstock and if you want to go glamorous, use glitter cardstock and make a 2 sided glitter cake topper.
Dogs that wear clothes are super adorable. You can make dog clothing for the holidays because that is likely when people are searching for dog clothing. You can customize dog bandanas, shirts, sweaters, etc.
11. Envelopes
Making envelopes with my Cricut machine is one of my newfound joys, again because all you need is cardstock. When I plan in advance, I usually make personalized envelopes for family and friends’ birthdays. There are already svg files in Cricut Design Space for free and you can also upload patterns to your envelope and include cartoon characters, Christmas trees, hearts, and lots more. There are tons of patterns to use in Design space and you just use the process for printing and cutting out your envelope.
12. Exploding box
I haven’t personally made an exploding box yet, but these boxes are so amazing! I love that you can leave pictures, notes and even money inside these boxes. Take off the lid and the excitement will “explode”. All you really need to make exploding boxes is cardstock, yourscoring stylus/wheel, and double-sided tape or glue.
13. Eye mask/Sleeping mask
I cannot sleep with light shining in my face and that’s why I adore eye masks. If you buy cloth eye masks, you can put HTV on them and put cute sayings and designs on them.
14. Faux leather earrings
I recently experimented with faux leather earrings and they were so gorgeous! You can make various designs and also layer different colors onto your faux leather earrings. I bought all of my supplies at Hobby Lobby, but you can get them on Amazon also.
Your Cricut machine can also cut fabric and has a special mat for cutting fabric – the pink mat. If you know how to sew or hand sew, then you can definitely use your Cricut machine to cut out pieces of fabric in various shapes and then sew them to make amazing projects.
16. Felt coasters
Felt coasters are really neat and you can design them in a variety of ways. Felt coasters are perfect for outside gatherings and can be used indoors. Make a variety of felt coasters to fit the holidays and seasons. To make felt coasters all you need is felt and felt glue.
17. Fridge magnets
Fridge magnets are a cool way to use your Cricut machine to decorate your refrigerator. You can use flat glass marbles and then print then cut designs to make your fridge magnets. You can also paint a small piece of wood, add vinyl to it and then add a magnet paper to the back. I love the Stone City glossy printable magnetic sheets that you can use.
If you like to garden or are interested in selling garden markers, use your Cricut to make those stakes for you. You can buy the garden stakes that have the pointed end and all you have to do is add some vinyl to the stake.
Gift tags are another one of my favorite Cricut projects to make. There is always something or someone to celebrate and I usually don’t keep gift tags sitting around my house. Instead, I create personalized gift tags with my Cricut machine either using the print then cut feature or using a Cricut pen to write out a special message.
20. Greeting cards
Making greeting cards is very similar to making birthday cards. The design options are endless. Use cardstock, glitter, confetti and other trinkets to liven up your greeting card.
21. Hand fan
Hand fans are perfect for weddings, summer outdoor parties and even tea parties. Create a design for your top part and glue your wood handles to your design and you’re good to go!
22. Hat decals
If you enjoy wearing hats then you should definitely make hats with decals on them. The process is the same for just about all HTV projects, except you will need to purchase a Cricut Hat Press to apply your decal.
23. Headbands
Just like with fabric appliques, you can use your Cricut machine to cut out strips of fabric to make your headband. You will also need elastic, a sewing machine or sewing kit to hand sew.
24. Invitations
Your Cricut machine can be used to make fancy wedding, birthday or party invitations. There are some projects in Cricut Design Space that you can look at to give you inspiration. You will need cardstock and possibly a printer to make your invitations.
25. Iron on decals
If you don’t want to sell actual HTV projects, you can sell the iron on decal instead. This cuts out a lot of the application process which can get tedious when you’re measuring and placing your design on an item.
26. Jewelry
The Cricut jewelry that you can make is endless and includes earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. You will likely need some faux leather to make your Cricut jewelry and some jewelry kits to bring your jewelry together.
Keychains are easy to make with your Cricut. For the keychains that are clear acrylic, you can add vinyl or glitter to those and seal in the vinyl with epoxy resin.
28. Kitchen towels
Tea towels are easy Cricut projects and add a touch of personality to your kitchen. You can also rotate your kitchen towels out by holiday. Buy your tea towels on Amazon and use your Cricut EasyPress 2 to apply your design.
29. Koozies
Who doesn’t love a good koozie to hold their drink. Koozies are perfect for the summer and also make good party favors and wedding favors. Use clever designs to add some flare to your koozies.
30. Labels
If you want to add labels to your spice jars, you can do that with your Cricut machine and you can also make labels to organize your storage containers. You can use vinyl to make your Cricut labels or you can make stickers to label your items.
31. Lanyards
Who doesn’t love a personalized touch to items. If you buy blank lanyards, you can cut out your name or whatever design you want in HTV and apply it to your lanyard.
32. Laptop decal
Laptop decals are very trendy, you can tell by searching on Etsy. Use different color vinyl and different patterned vinyl to make your laptop decals stand out.
33. Laundry room bins
Using the labels that are mentioned above, you can organize your laundry room bins to keep your white and color clothes separate. I’ve also seen pictures of people adding vinyl to their washer and dryer. Just Google it and see.
Personalized makeup bags make the perfect bridesmaid or birthday gift. Sometimes I use makeup bags as pencil/crayon holders for my nieces. Add their name and a unicorn to the makeup bag and they are good to go!

There are tons of mason jar projects that you can make with your Cricut machine. You can put vinyl on your mason jar, paint it, etch it with etching cream and so much more! Turn that mason jar into a kleenex holder, a lantern, and candle holder.
A project doesn’t get more personalized than a monogram project. I enjoy making monogram shirts, onesies, mugs, car decals and so much more. Check out Dafont.com to find the monogram font to help you create your Cricut projects.

Personalized pillow cases are a perfect way to decorate your home using your Cricut machine. Use your HTV and Cricut EasyPress to apply tons of designs to your pillow covers.

47. Quilting patterns
Just as with cutting fabric appliques, you can cut fabric quilting pieces with your Cricut in various shapes and sizes.
48. Reverse canvas
Canvases aren’t just for painting on. If you turn your canvas over and pull out the staples, stain or paint the wood and then staple the canvas back to the wood and add some vinyl, you have yourself a reverse canvas. I love getting my canvases from Michaels because they always have great deals.
49. Ring dish
Ring dishes are simple, elegant Cricut projects. You can find inexpensive ring dishes at Target in the dollar section, at Ross and many more stores. Just add some vinyl to your ring dish to add a personal touch and it’s ready to go.

You can use your Cricut machine to make stencils to create just about anything. If you have a project that you want to paint and you’re not good at freehand painting, then cut a stencil with your Cricut machine and just reverse weed your design and paint!

Stickers definitely go in my top 10 things to create with my Cricut machine. To make stickers with your Cricut you will use the print then cut feature in Design Space.

53. Svg files
Svg files are must to even use your Cricut machine or any other cutting machine. If you know how to design then you should definitely consider selling svg files. People are always looking to buy unique designs.
If you’re not into real tattoos but want to try temporary tattoos, you can make those with your Cricut machine. You can buy the Silhouette temporary tattoo paper and follow their instructions for making and applying your tattoos.
Tote bags are another one of my favorite HTV projects. To make tote bags with your Cricut machine, you need HTV and a tote bag. You will also need a heat press or Cricut EasyPress. Watch my video on my Cricut tote bag.
56. Tshirts
If you have a Cricut machine, you most definitely need to make tshirts with your machine. I absolutely love the fact that I can make myself a tshirt on a whim. I also sell personalized shirts every now and then. A lot of people who have Cricut machines and want to start a side hustle, usually start by selling shirts. You can find good quality shirts on Amazon or on Jiffyshirts.com.
57. Tumblers
Tumblers are another popular thing that people personalize using their Cricut machines. The process is super simple and requires you to use vinyl to apply to your tumbler. The design ideas are endless when personalizing tumblers.
58. Unicorn decals
Who doesn’t love unicorns? If you know how to layer vinyl, you can create some really cool unicorn decals to put on your laptop, tumbler, water bottle, etc. You will need parchment paper and transfer tape to help you really layer your vinyl well.

If you have flower vases sitting around that you don’t want to get rid of or that look plain, add some vinyl to them. You can also paint them and then add vinyl to spruce them up.
60. Wall decals
Wall decals are so cute and draw you into a room. With your Cricut, you can cut small or large wall decals to make your craft room or any other space come alive.
61. Water canisters/bottles
Making water canisters/bottles are similar to making mugs, all you need is a cool design, some vinyl, and transfer tape and you’re good to go!
Wedding hangers that have “Bride”, “Bridesmaid”, etc. on them are so elegant; and to think that all you need is a wooden hanger and some vinyl!
63. Welcome mat
I love seeing welcome mats that have personality and aren’t boring and dull. Use spray paint or paint to make your welcome mat. That stencil that I mentioned above will be needed for this project!
Personalized wine glasses make the perfect wedding, birthday, or graduation gift. Just like mugs and water canisters/bottles, cut your design into your vinyl and use transfer tape to apply it to your wine glass.
65. Wood sign
There are tons of wood sign ideas that you can make with your Cricut machine. I like that you can either paint or stain your wood sign before applying your vinyl. I will say that paint dries a lot faster than stain does.
66. Z fold card
Z fold cards have 3 panels where you can add trinkets and messages to. Creating these cards is just like making birthday or greeting cards, except you have an additional panel to decorate.
There are endless creations to make with your Cricut machine as you can see above. You can find additional project ideas in Cricut Design Space, Pinterest, Facebook groups, etc.

Where To Buy The Best Blanks For Cricut Projects
Crafting with my Cricut Explore Air 2 and Cricut Maker 3 is my favorite thing to do in my free time. Sometimes I’m so engaged and excited to craft that I invite my friends over to have a crafting session. Before I begin crafting, I like to have blanks on hand for my projects.
What are Blanks for Cricut?
Blanks for Cricuts are any product that you can personalize using your Cricut machine. So that could be a blank shirt that has nothing on it; a wine glass, tumbler, keychains, acrylic cake toppers, teddy bear, makeup bag, and any number of things.
Over the course of time, the following sites have been my go-to places to find blanks for my Cricut projects. Just FYI, Amazon is my absolute favorite place to get Cricut blanks.
Why not pick up a few blanks for your Cricut projects while shopping online at Amazon? You’re already buying that bulk order of paper towels or tissue. The blanks that you can use for your Cricut projects are numerous on Amazon.
For all the ladies in your life, makeup bags are the perfect blanks for Cricut projects. These bags can also be used as pencil/pen and marker holders for the kiddos.
Koozies are cute, fun and keep your drink dry. Personalized these koozies for football games, cheer tournaments and other sporting events or gatherings!
Hexagon acrylic cake toppers are amazing for wedding cakes, birthday cakes, graduation cakes, and more. Add some adhesive vinyl and acrylic paint and these acrylic cake toppers really come to life.
These gift bags are perfect to decorate and put your party favors in. Use your Cricut to decorate the outside of the bag to fit the theme of your party.
Aprons are perfect for crafting or cooking and these aprons are adjustable and water resistant which makes them even better. Two aprons come in a pack.
Pillow covers are a great way to liven up your home quickly and easily and are especially perfect for changing things around your home for the different seasons and holidays.
Sometimes we overlook the amazing crafting items that are available in Dollar Tree. Everything ranging from wine glasses, mini canvases and storage containers can be found at Dollar Tree.
These vases can be personalized and used as gift holder, make brushes, pencil holders and so much more.
These are my go to places to find blanks for my Cricut or vinyl projects. All of these items are very affordable and can be bought in bulk so you are never unprepared to craft (as if that could ever happen).
