Itās been so long since I last posted!
Today I just felt the urge of having to share my review of a craft machine that Iāve been using for the last year and a half. Itās seriously every crafterās dream machine.
Crafting is a hobby of mines. Itās something that I like to do on my spare time that takes time but SPARKS JOY. šĀ I absolutely love my Cricut and feel so happy to have it in my life.
I got my machine from Michaels for USD $220. They have a wide range of colors but I purchase the color in CoralĀ which appears to be a Michaels Exclusive. I absolutely the color! Most of the time, I use my machine to cut vinyl. My Cricut is for personal use but there are a lot of people who turn their Cricut into a feasible business on Etsy. š
Cricut uses an app called Design Space where you prepare your files to cut on the machine. The app is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of how the app works and understand the different terminologies.
Some Tips for Cricut Beginners (based on my own experience)
Refer to a lot of Youtube videos and blogs for Cricut 101.
Nice downloadable fonts can be found onĀ DaFont
Join Cricut Groups on Facebook. The community is extremely helpful when you need advice or a little inspiration on a project.
Remember to reverse your image in Design Space before cutting when you work with Iron On Vinyl (HTV)
Donāt forget to weld your letters together to great one large word file before cutting with the Cricut.
Just have fun with it and be creative!
I never posted about the projects Iāve created in the past but below are just a few.

For my boyfriendās love of boba and Pokemon Go, I made us matching shirts. We wore it this past community day for the Swinub event. I purchased the long sleeve shirts from Michaels. The iron on vinyl was purchased from Cricut.com. I used the Everyday Iron On Vinyl.
The project possibilities are endless! āŗļø
Feel free to use the projects Iāve done as inspiration for your projects! Happy crafting!
If you have a Cricut, what is your favorite type of project to make? If you donāt have a Cricut, what is something you would like to make if you had a Cricut?
