For those who have a Cricut machine, what do you use it for? What things have you made/used around the home?

For a while my wife was doing customised vinyls on a range of giftware, working with clients back and forth on the design process.

 

Now it's just for actual gifts for family and friends, tshirts, cards etc. it helps that my wife really likes making vector graphics as much as she likes the paper craft side of things.

 

She hates the design software though, and often uses an ancient copy of photoshop elements. I bought her the full affinity suite, to use on the desktop and iPad but she has yet to try to learn it... Maybe a few more years will do it.

Wife has one and she’s made all sorts of things from it. Tshirts, cutting out card stock, using it as a plotter for drawing onto cards, vinyl decals, cutting fabric and felt, making stencils

 

Thats just the stuff off the top of my head. She has 2 machines and they get used almost daily!

If you do get one of these, there are a tonne of accessories and mats etc on the usual Asian source websites for good prices, and kmart and spotlight have other vinyls you can run thru them. My attempts at getting vinyl from aliex failed because the roll was crushed and kinked in shipping so I decided that they are too incompetent to pack it well enough.

 

I have barely touched mine in years now that everything I want labels and signs on have them, and I was too lazy to set it up again to do a bin label that I just ordered some off temu that were custom cut with my number and street for about $4 or so.

Littlest Miss MDF (14) has a Cricut Joy, the smallest options. She uses it alot for stickers, decals and cards. We've also done some cool designs for heat transfer onto clothes. 

 

Great starter, though with the benefit of hindsight, we do wish we had spent the extra for a bigger model.

 

Cricut does have a pretty complete ecosystem (and tonnes of online tutorials), but they do also want to charge you extra subscriptions for certain features and designs (though there are lots free).
