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.
