What kind of DIY projects can I make?

At the time, farmhouse wood signs were really popular.
Jane had recently hand-paintedthis beach-inspired sign.
For example, we used theCricut Makerand blackiron-on vinylforthis fun signwe made for Sonjas bathroom.
It just looks cleaner and more professional.
These types of signs are just one example of what you’re free to make with Cricut.
So it can complement your creation rather than taking over the whole thing.
The home sweet home decal was just a simple way to enhance the end-product.

If you love scrapbooking, stick with somedecorative papersand the fine point blade which comes with the Cricut Maker.

The software itself is free to use and there are tons of free projects and fonts on there.
What materials can I cut?
Weve been using our Cricut Maker to help with cutting felt for our various flower and succulent patterns.
We love how professional these tags are for products we send to customers.
For these tags, we also used theDebossing TipandWavy Bladeto make the designs in the chipboard.

It can cut up to2.4 mm (3/32) balsa wood.
We couldnt believe it until we made these organization tags for Janes craft room.
