From the author of
The Unofficial Book of Cricut Crafts
and the creator of
Hello Creative Family
and
Cutting Machine Crafting
comes a brand new book, all about making handmade gifts with your Cricut cutting machine!
Throughout the pages of this book, author Crystal Allen will walk you through thirty new Cricut projects that can be personalized and given as gifts, no matter the occasion. With her easy approach, "pro-crafter tips," and step-by-step photos, you'll feel like you're crafting with your best friend.
Whether you are a skilled crafter or new to DIY, you will find exciting ways to use your Cricut Maker, Explore, and/or Joy.
If you're new to the Cricut scene, you'll want to pore over the pages that help you unbox your Cricut, giving you a general understanding of the parts of your machine, as well as tips for using Cricut Design Space and Cricut Access.
If you're an experienced Cricut crafter, you can skip ahead to the projects, which use the most popular materials your Cricut can cut. These include fabric (cotton, felt, and fleece); basswood and chipboard; leather; vinyl; paper; and heat transfer vinyl. Tips for using infusible ink are also included.
Projects include:
Glitter Cups with Hidden Message
Tic-Tac-Toe Board Game with Photo Faces Game Pieces
Milestone Baby Blankets
Leather tool roll
Wood Welcome Sign
Magic Sequin Infusible Ink Pillows
Hello Doormat
Birth Stats Toddler Stool
Wood Veneer Earrings
and so much more!
Crystal's hope is that the techniques learned throughout the book, along with the
(free!)
included cut files, will inspire you to create designs of your own that you can not only gift, but also sell on creative marketplaces such as Etsy and even at craft fairs.
With your Cricut cutting machine and this book, you'll always be prepared with a handmade gift idea for any occasion including holidays, birthdays, graduations, baby showers, housewarmings, weddings, and more! Show love and appreciation with personalized, handmade gifts that are easier to make than you ever thought! (Seriously, get ready to hear a lot of
"You made this?!")
