How to Connect Cricut to App: A Stepwise Setup Guide

So, here you will learn how to connect Cricut to app. Right? But before I dive further into this blog, I would like to clarify one thing. This blog talks about how to connect your Cricut machine to an app (Cricut Design Space), but I don’t think it is the same as connecting Cricut to your computer or mobile phone.

Connecting a Cricut to an app and connecting Cricut to a compatible device are two different things. Don’t get confused! The question is, if both are different, then what are we going to learn from this blog? In this blog, I will teach you how to connect a Cricut machine to an app. However, it is also called a Cricut setup. We will be learning about machine setup on Windows computers. Let’s dive into it without any further ado!

Step 1: Unboxing a Cricut Product

Okay, so to get to the exciting part of the Cricut machine setup, we will first need to unbox the machine. However, if you have already unboxed it, enjoy🥳and move to the second step in order to learn how to connect Cricut to app.

Here, let me share my experience of unboxing my Cricut.

I opened the box’s lid and saw a matted folder over the top surface of the Cricut machine. Here I am, actually, opening my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine. It came with a blue LightGrip mat. Those who got the Cricut Maker machine then will receive a green StandardGrip mat.

The list is long; let me show you what else I got with my Cricut Explore:

Step 2: Open Your Cricut Cutting Machine

To open the Cricut machine, I pressed the Open button (on the left side). As I pressed the button, the rest of the doors opened on their own. Here, Cricut Maker users need to lift the top lid. After that, the front door will open on its own (automatically).

Note: Do not open the doors that open automatically. Just wait and let them open slowly on their own.

When your Cricut is opened, you need to remove the foam and other tape on the side.

Step 3: Plug Into a Cricut Machine

Plugging the power cable into the Cricut cutting machine is the first step in learning how to connect Cricut to app. Now, it’s time to turn it on. Yes! So, let’s grab the power cords that come with our Cricut machine.

You can just plug the main plug into the wall outlet and insert the other into the back of your Cricut machine. But, here, you have to plug in the machine; you don’t need to turn it on the machine here. We’ll do it later.

As the machine is turned on, you need to move to the next step, where we will start setting up our machine.

Step 4: Pair Cricut to a Computer via Bluetooth

I have connected my Cricut using a USB cable, too. Currently, I am using a Bluetooth wireless connection. So, let me show you how to connect Cricut to PC via Bluetooth:

Now, let’s download a Cricut app so that you can understand how to connect Cricut to app, i.e., how to setup Cricut.

Step 5: Download Cricut Design Space

The machine setup requires software called the Cricut Design app. To download the software, you need to go through the steps given below:

Next, follow the prompts until your installation is done. Once done, move to the last steps to learn how to connect Cricut to app.

Step 6: Finish the Cricut Setup

Launch the Cricut Design Space software, and you will see the option to select your Cricut cutting machine on the app. Select the type of machine you want to setup. Next, sign in to your Cricut account. If you don’t have an account, sign up to create one.

Once you have created an account, you need to sign in and then start connecting your Cricut to your app. Although you will get screen prompts to setup the machine, I will explain it briefly.

First, turn on the machine by pressing the power button, and then you need to connect your machine. After that, your setup is done!

HURRAY!!!!!!!!! 😍 YOU DID IT!

FAQs

Question 1: Can I connect my Cricut to an app on my mobile phone?

Answer: Yes, absolutely! Connecting Cricut to the app or setting it up is the same. For this, you will need a Cricut app that you can download from an online app store where you can download the app. For example, if you want to install the Cricut software on iOS, then you can get the application from the App Store, and for Android, you need to go to the Google Play Store. In short, you can easily connect your Cricut machine to an app.

Question 2: Is Cricut machine setup difficult or time-consuming?

Answer: Setting up the Cricut machine is easy and not that time-consuming if you have the right software. The simple-to-use interface of Cricut Design Space will walk you through the easy directions to setup the Cricut cutting machine, which will take you a few minutes. So, install the right software on a compatible device, and then you will be ready to go.

Question 3: Is Bluetooth compulsory for Cricut machine setup?

Answer: No, it is not necessary if your Cricut has a USB cable. Except for the Cricut Joy machine, all the Cricut models have USB ports so that they can be connected via USB cords, too. However, for Cricut Joy users, Bluetooth is compulsory when setting up the machine. In short, Bluetooth is compulsory only for machines for which Bluetooth is not available.

GUESS WHOSE BOOK ARRIVED TODAYYYYYY SO NOW I GET TO POST PICS!!!!

This is To Hell and Back Again, by dear dear @perexcri. Cover design by @byierficrecs (thank you SO much for letting me use your design!). Binding by me!

I'm not in ST fandom, but I had the pleasure of skimming this fic while I was typesetting, and can I just say? I'm rooting for these kids SO hard. I'd go to hell and back again for them--[GUNSHOT]

But in all seriousness, Leah's writing is whip-smart, sincere, and funny as hell. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is a fan of these crazy kids. Her ao3 is a veritable treasure trove of excellent byler stories, which you should absolutely check out right now go do it!!!

As usual, process chatter and more pics, under the cut! <3

WORD COUNT: 144k

FONTS:

Title: Hellprint

Heading/Chapter Headings/Spine Titling: Norwester

C4 Summary: Roboto Condensed

Main Body Text: Garamond

COVER MATERIAL: Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte, printed on my Epson Ecotank (more on that later baha)

HEADBANDS: Trebizond silk thread in the colors Garnet and Black

EDGE PAINTING: Acrylic paint in Crimson and Black

TITLING: Red iron-on foil for the text and white HTV for my maker's mark. Cut by Charlotte, my Cricut!

BINDING:

This was my first go at a German Bradel binding! I've seen lots of Renegade folks use this method and am so psyched I got around to trying it myself. I modified DAS's approach a bit and tipped on endpapers instead of sewing them in (there were a lot of new things to learn so I decided to shelve sewn endpapers for the next binding XD). I also only had 2.0 mm bookboard instead of 1.0 mm, so instead of layering two of the same boards like DAS did, I instead used one 2.0 mm board and one very thin piece of cardboard to create the groove for the hinge. The original article that DAS bases his video on actually uses boards of two different sizes too--a "thick" board and a "thin" board--but I still want to experiment with DAS's way of doing it, especially since I think it'll be easier to do cutouts on thinner board.

As far as matching the groove with the hinge, I think I did pretty okay for my first try! One board is definitely better fitting than the other though baha. There's always room for improvement, but hey that's where half the fun is anyway (and also you can't tell after the case-in whew), so I'm not stressed about it :D

COLOR SCHEME:

Nearly all of my design decisions for the color scheme were based off of @byierficrecs's gorgeous cover design! They were so generous in letting me use their cover and answering my questions about fonts, for which I can't thank them enough. And with so many wonderful elements to work with, it was so much fun to tease out the elements I loved from their work!

I decided to keep with the theme of red/black, which I also thought was fitting for a ST fic set largely in the Upside Down. Thus, black painted edges with red vines, as a kind of inverted, "upside down" continuation of the cover:

Even the thread I used to sew the signatures is red/black! :3 (please also ignore how the picture of the textblock is not focused on the actual textblock ajsldkfjs it was very late when I took that photo)

COVER PRINTING:

This was my first time printing a cover on my new printer (!!!), and BOY oh boy was it an adventure. Figuring out the dimensions took a second, but not as long as it took me to figure out what settings produced something I was happy with. Behold, all my test prints:

Very long story short, let's just say now I understand why being a prepress color specialist is literally a career you can have in publishing LOL.

Also, for some reason I could only sometimes get the bleed to work? Basically what I ended up doing was painting over the parts where the design didn't quite extend over the turn-ins, using with the same black acrylic paint I used for the edges. You can see this more clearly in the photos I took of the groove, and the endpapers covered the messy bits when I cased in:

THE MAIN INGREDIENT: LOVE

Finally!! The most important part of the process!!! HI LEAH ILY!!!! This fic is special for a lot of personal reasons, but chief among them is LOVE!!!! Your A/N's made me tear up when I first read it, because AH! You read my words of love!!! And went and wrote hundreds of thousands of your own words of love!!! And now I hope I've given that love back once again :3 And on and on we go, ad infinitum, until we are relieved of the curse of literacy and greet whatever comes after all this, thanks be to Todd. But until then, I'm so glad I get to shoot holes out of bagels and scream about radioactive tumblr posts and cry over fake people with you, friend :] Truly, peace and love on FUCKING Planet Earth. We are making it and we will all go together when we--[ANOTHER GUNSHOT]

I'm so excited to see where we're going, and what other stories we have to tell. But for now: EEEEEEEE YOU WROTE A BOOK!!!!!!!

<33333!!!

I saw you mentioned cricut machines in your last post. I've been considering getting one, but there seem to be a whole lot of models and I don’t know anything about them — do you have any tips?

I have the Explore Air 2, and it's just fine.

I did what I usually do when it comes to buying nonessential tech--figure out what I need it to do (in this case, cut vinyl and paper in formats up to 12 in wide) and then read a few articles about the best [whatever tech item] of the year is for several years running, avoiding sponsored articles. If I'm looking at a specific brand, like Cricut, I look up "versus" style articles, which compare the pros and cons of different models by that brand. For Cricut, the "Maker" line is their highest-end machine, intended for people who do serious production. If you're not doing a small business level of cricut work, it's probably overkill. The "Explore" is the midrange machine, for casual crafters.

I look for anything along the lines of "The new model fixes a major problem that the previous model had, which was..." If the current model is just a faster, shinier version of the old one, I'm getting the prior model--it'll be less expensive and for a tool I'm only using intermittently, speed isn't a high priority. The current Explore 3 model is running $300-$400; the Explore 2 can be found for about $200.

I think it does the job well. I actually already have a larger-format vinyl cutter--my brother and I went halfsies on a commercial scale machine we've affectionately named Arty Boi--but the cricut is faster to set up, more portable, and I like the grippy-mat material system. It does a good job for my needs, which are really pretty simple.

[seeminglyseph]

This is probably like. A weird thing to be concerned about, but like. The degree of polish and like. Quality in some of the recent entries to the V/H/S franchise sometimes is like… intimidating and feels like. I mean I don’t wanna tell people specifically to be worse at film making or anything, and it’s not like I think anyone broke rules making their entries I don’t think. But I think I mostly mean this to say towards audience members sometimes, ‘cause a lot of V/H/S is kinda *supposed* to be lower budget and experimental in comparison to blockbuster movies or whatever. That’s why the first one has that like “what the fuck?” Aspect to some of the shorts, they kinda feel like student films, because they were like… “gather some people up, get some relatively affordable equipment you can maybe rent, and go film on a rented set or out in the woods which is mostly free”

It feels cheap because it is cheap, and the cheapness makes it have that exact kind of horror vibe it was going for by being VHS. The more polished and high budget and impressive it gets, the less it feels like an experiment in cheapness.

I think there’s a really strong charm to the shorts that feel a little like “film makers create a student film” and I’m not using student film as an insult because I think there’s something really interesting and raw to the like. Sets and characters and costumes put together when you’ve got really really passionate, but broke and unpolished creators? When you’ve got like the cameras and equipment rented from the school and you’re filming it in the weird woods by your old house because you always thought they looked cool and wrote a lot of stories there anyway and now you’re trying to make one of them into a reality and the makeup person might just be your friend who spends too much money at Sephora so everyone voted them to be in charge of makeup and now they’re having a nervous breakdown because they only know how to do their own makeup and they’re looking up tutorials online for blood effects and actually really pulling it off and maybe figuring out something new about themselves.

One of the biggest personal expenses turns out to be a Cricut machine for the prop department but then the fact you don’t have to worry about carpal tunnel taking out your prop and costume department does make up for it eventually. Also someone made you a custom graphic T and you stop grumbling about the budget for a while.

Chances are also probably good you made a deal with the local produce shops to take the cabbage and melons that go bad for reduced price if you’re making a movie with violence, for all the free sound effects available online, it helps to have something live on the day. And head of cabbage or a melon works good on a low budget set.

It has been like two decades since I’ve been anywhere near even a low budget TV/Film set in Canada and I think some of these might be stage tricks instead. But still. There’s so much charm to them??? And it’s why I think a lot of horror fans love low budget horror.

(Also I should note, I was like. A youth working as an extra on a couple filming projects and took independent personal acting/filmmaking classes that taught me about aspects of the industry and tricks of the trade, but I never got super deep into anything. I saw how stuff was done and did some amateur filming projects which is how I learned how to fake things, but I never learned how big budget things were made. Everything I ever learned was cheap corner cutting for people making things on grants or for the passion of arts, not… uh. Millions or hundreds of thousands of dollars. I learned small Canadian Arts Film, not Hollywood Filmmaking. They were… not all encompassing and I am not positioning myself as an expert in anything… just… running my mouth like a know-it-all honestly.)

And like. I think most of V/H/S still accomplishes a lot of it. Praise Ratma.

It’s probably just a couple like… big sensational show stopping shorts by directors who really know how to work with their budgets more than like… any kind of change to the system. And the fact that I like it when it’s kinda messy and sloppy and shows the seams and the actors aren’t super great and the premise feels a little half baked? Not… fully bad because that “actually the cult was fake and the raid was a ploy by us, the sexy lady cops who are actually… big name sexy snuff film peddlers who’ve been profiting from all the sick twisted videos you’ve been watching and we’re gonna make out while killing you” was like. Running a full sprint into a wall, like they almost made it and then they just made a really bafflingly bad decision in the final moments to like. Completely derail that train at the station and I don’t think anyone was satisfied with how that ended.

I don’t think I have the most solid of a point, really, except that a lot of films are very big and polished and expensive lately. And horror is one of those last bastions of “no budget? No problem.” Mindsets. And I kinda love it for that. And I wanna see it continued. I wouldn’t mind it catching on to other genres again because too much of everything has to look and feel and seem high quality making the barrier to entry nearly impossible to pass. But, I hope V/H/S maintains its cheapness because it’s kinda integral to keeping horror accessible. It’s good, it’s fun, it’s experimental, it creates access to new voices.

Yeah going back to the early entries some of it is like “wow that’s pretty gross” but like. There’s a reason most of those characters died horrible deaths. They were shitty garbage trash people on purpose and you were supposed to hate them so when they were brutally murdered you didn’t feel too bad about being like “ohh my got holy shit” and probably doing the mix of laughing and wincing and screaming when the rapist gets his dick literally ripped off and thrown across the room you don’t really feel that terrible about your fear response also being kinda giddy and giggly.

I am overthinking this. Idk. I love this franchise. I hope it lives in cheap gritty gross weird glory forever. Anthology Horror is such a good genre.

Lots of progress this weekend.

Firstly, the shoes are finished. I'd love it if I never have to make gladiator sandals again, personally. I had to redo the top of each one several times for fit, and I completely depleted the scrap fabric I was using to make these.

I also went ahead and finished the necklace. I've have the prism part done since about November or so but I was putting off doing the necklace because I hate foamwork. I really love the resin gem. I added glitter to the bottom when I cast it which creates a nice depth when the light hits it.

I managed to get it to work as a solid band around the back of the neck - not particularly important for Dimitri, who has hair that will cover that spot, but important for Felix, who my wife is cosplaying and who has a ponytail and will continue to have a ponytail as a genderbend.

Ugly seam is ugly, but it can be because it's hidden. The closure is magnetic and nestles behind the gem. The 5 mm foam is thick enough to hold its shape when pressed together, so I didn't need another stabilization point. Ideally, I would have liked to match the color on this for the felt, but it's hidden anyway and that was the closest color I had on hand that wouldn't give me an allergic reaction (I have wool felt in that color, but it would cause me trouble on my neck).

I got a chunk of beading done on the tabard sides, and added the last of the trim that it needed. Hopefully I can finish the beading on the tabard today. I also want to go in on the silver part of the skirt and add some silver preciosa bicones at some point.

I think I finished everything that I wanted to do with my Cricut Maker as well. I cut 12+ crests for each of us in holographic vinyl (blue for me, transparent blue for her... they're both blue and transparent though). These will be on our dangles as an embellishment.

I also cut my rhinestone flock template. This will be used to add hotfix rhinestones to the bottom of the skirt. I'm planning to color match so it should be subtle.

In case you also have a Maker, I cut this flock without the paper backing, flock side up on a standard grip mat with the bonded wool felt setting, and ran it through twice. Once probably would have worked fine but I wanted to make sure it would work.

If you want to do anything with rhinestone templates, I can't recommend flock enough. It was pretty easy to design (I just went over the Blaiddyd Crest with dots the right size), mirrored and flipped pieces as needed, and cut it in my cricut. It worked on the first try with how I'd spaced everything. This is so much faster and precise than placing everything by hand would have been.

And here's the test on a scrap piece of dupioni with scrap rhinestones in the same size that came with my rhinestone brush. Unimpressed dog in background is unimpressed. 20 seconds at 320 F with my heat press at about 30 lbs of pressure did the job and caused no problem with the silk. Only one rhinestone of the entire design got displaced, which I adhered with gem tac (I didn't want to get my hotfix tool out).

👀 And not because I know from experience or anything, but don't use cricut transfer tape for rhinestone transfers. It isn't heat resistant and will try to melt on your heat press (I got it off in time).

Thankfully I figured out my rhinestone flock came with transfer tape so I'm all set tor doing this on my actual costume.

I won't be getting as much done this coming weekend because I'm going out of town Thursday night - Friday midday, then I have a friend coming in that afternoon from out of town, and on Saturday, I get my Byleth tattoo on my leg so I won't really feel like doing much after that.

7 Vinyl Cricut Christmas Ideas for Your Festive Holiday

I have been working on vinyl Cricut projects for a long time, probably about 6 years. The experience so far has been really good. So, in the coming festive season, I have decided to share some best vinyl Cricut Christmas ideas to make your holidays memorable. You can create all of these crafts easily on the Cricut cutting machine. Cricut machines have advanced significantly, and Cricut has taken them to the next level.

So, if you are a Cricut user ready to make something with your vinyl material, you are in the right place. Take out your Cricut machine and personalize Christmas projects such as T-shirts, cards, gift tags, mugs, and more with Cricut vinyl. In this guide, I am using the Cricut Maker 3 machine, but if you have a Cricut Maker or Explore series, you’re good to go. These crafts will add to the Christmas holiday spirit.

1.  Gift Card Holders

This is a Christmas card holder, which I find really helpful and useful. Every year, I make these cardholders. A few of them I sell online, and a few of them I keep for my personal use. Many times, handing a card alone to someone feels awkward, hence I decided to make this beautiful holder. The gift-like design with red paper ribbon gives it a unique look that anyone will like. Since I made this using a Cricut Explore app, you are free to follow any other machine. Try this card holder for your Christmas cards and gift it to anyone without feeling awkward.

2.  Cookie Boxes

Look at these cute Christmas cookie boxes! Aren’t they unique and elegant? Christmas is all about gifts; you will need the best wrapper or something in which you can store your gift. For this, I made these boxes that give the true sense of the Christmas holiday. The making process is easy, all you need is an SVG file, upload it to Design Space, and cut it with your Cricut machine. Try different colors and design patterns to make it unique and elegant. If you want to personalize it for someone special, then Cricut has the solutions for you!

3.  Mason Jars

The super popular vinyl Cricut Christmas ideas, such as Mason Jar, are quick and easy to make with a Cricut machine set up. These white jars with colorful vinyl designs and graphics make them the best gifts for everyone. You can fill this with candy or other mason jar recipes. So, design what you like and cut it using your Cricut machine.

4.  Paper Lantern

Lantern is my all-time favorite, and making this is super easy. You can make it easily using the wood veneer cardstock and cut it with your Cricut machine. Isn’t that amazing? I really like it so much because it is easy to make as well as very useful to keep at home. Also, this is the best gift you can send to someone. This year, you must have at least one paper lantern that spreads the warm spirit of Christmas. This is another one of my favorite vinyl Cricut Christmas ideas for special occasions.

5.  Lighted Glass Block

Isn’t it so elegant? In order to beautify this, I used vinyl materials on this glass block. The red and black colored checkered ribbon adds a charming look, making it like a Christmas gift. Yes, if you want to use it as a gift, then this is a good option. Moreover, I added a Christmas tree using fabric. Choose a wide range of font styles from Cricut Design Space to customize it. Plus, personalize it by adding a personal touch. Lastly, lights are something very important so choose light colors accordingly.

6.  Wooden Sign Board

Making Christmas projects using wood materials is one of my favorite tasks. Wood materials always add a charm to our Christmas decorations. Whether it is a signboard or application in other projects, wood is always my first preference. Out of many vinyl Cricut Christmas ideas, this is something everyone will like. For text, I used vinyl, but this is not where I wanted to finish it. So, I added the extra leaves and creativity on the wood on the left side.

7.  Christmas Ornaments

You should try these buffalo-checked and reindeer-shaped ornaments made of glitter vinyl. Use Cricut Maker, Joy, and any other Cricut cutting machine to get the precise cuts of your glitter vinyl in different types of shapes. Add these Cricut vinyl Christmas ornaments to your Christmas tree and spread the positive vibes of Christmas everywhere. If you are interested in personalized ornaments, then you can add the name and picture of someone you like.

Final Words

Cricut machines are so advanced to provide precise cuts on every type of material. Through this guide, I covered 7 different types of vinyl Cricut Christmas ideas, including gift card holders, Christmas ornaments, DIY mason jars, and much more. Use your own ideas to add your personal touch and make it special for someone special. Moreover, I have made these projects using Cricut Maker, and some of them were made using a Cricut Joy, too. Cricut Joy is the best fit for smaller-size projects.

The Not Good, Very Bad, Terrible Jedi

By Maddy_B

30 hours on Millbillillie

"The… party, sir?" Cody had that sinking feeling again. "Oh right!" Skywalker said, and then leapt up onto a crate to address the gathered men. "Alright troopers, consider yourselves on leave for the next 30 hour rotation!" he shouted, to cheers from the men. "Now," at that, he dramatically ripped his tunics open. Rex made a choking noise next to Cody’s ear. "LETS FUCKING PARTY!" They're all going to die, Cody thought.

An early book, before I really got the process down, so the first cover was wrong but the second worked out. I hadn’t gotten my Cricut yet so the numbers were made with my Stampin’ Up set, and the rest of the title is my label maker.

This is the story I learned to book bind for. This is so much fun, just some big belly laughed and delicious scenes with some good character exploration. Ugh, I just love this. Obi-wan and Anakin are just completely unhinged, Ahsoka is getting so much love, Rex is having the time of his life, the chat is getting the BEST gossip, and Cody is having an AWAKENING! It is amazing, go read it, and read the whole series!

A Most Elegant Dinner Party

"You're not… cooking, are you?" asked Obi-Wan warily. "No! Of course not!" she said cheerfully, dusting her hands off on the apron she was wearing. "You know I'm not allowed to cook Obi-Wan, don't be ridiculous."

Printed with the first story, I wanted to have them match so I did a blue cover with the colorful detail. The wine glass is from, again, Stampin’ up and the title is with the label maker.

This one builds on the previous in the best way. We’re going to a dinner party with a bunch of ridiculous people. It goes nicely, but it’s ENLIGHTENING. It’s lovely, it’s spicy, funny, and just a great time. GO READ IT!

Commander Fox is Completely Fine

Cody was still staring at him. Fox wasn't sure what made him keep talking. "It's always the shinies who think they're invincible," he muttered, "who think they're above the rules." Cody nodded slowly. "Yeah," he said, voice a little hoarse, "that's usually how I lose them too." Fox watched as his little brother finished the rest of his drink and stared down into his empty cup. It wasn't the same, he wanted to say. That's a battlefield, this is the centre of the Republic, it's different. The truth is that it's not as different as it should be.

Gave myself a minor heart attack taking pictures of this one as I was STILL READING IT BUT CHOOSE TO MOVE THE BOOKMARK ANYWAY; terrifying. Just a typical galaxy fabric cover. The cover image is the Coruscant logo I used my Cricut to get out, and I am very proud; except for that mess near the bottom, I’m still learning how to work with vinyl. The spine image and page breaks are alternate versions of the Coruscant Guard logo.

Contrary to what the title says, Fox is not Okay, but he gets better. This is all the year or so leading up to 30 Hours, the first book, and everything going wrong. It hurts a lot, but it’s also really freaking GOOD! We meet some amazing original and canon characters, have some profound conversations, lots of humor, lots of spice, and just an amazing read. This not only lives up to the standard the first two books set, but surpasses it. Please, please, please, go read this series and tell Maddy_B how amazing she’s doing.

There’s also several shorts to enjoy and another long story featuring REX! Our favorite blond captain is getting his own story, with a hunky Jedi for himself, but he’s got to suffer first.

7 Amazing Cricut Wood Projects for Crafting Enthusiasts

 Making Cricut wood projects because they are eco-friendly has always been my first preference. Whether it is balsa wood, basswood, or chipboard, Cricut has many robust machines that cut these materials precisely. Since the day I got my Cricut Maker, I have been very excited as I bought it to create various wooden-based projects. I have been wanting to make them for a long time.

When I finally got it, it was like a dream come true. The most exciting part was working on ideas. I got the help of my friend John, who is into fine arts. Since he is an expert in designing things, I reached out to him and asked him to design the project I wanted.

He was amazing and did his work nicely, but designing it on Cricut Design Space was not his cup of tea. So, I took charge of it. Without any further delay, let’s explore these projects.

Photo Puzzle

Want something to play with? Try this photo puzzle and give it to your children. With this puzzle, you can cherish your memories or family pictures for fun. To create it, you will need to open the puzzle pieces. After that, use printable vinyl to print the photo and apply it to a heavy chipboard.

And what about machines? Well, it has always been my trusty Cricut Maker, and I have always preferred it for my Cricut wood projects.

Earrings

Fed up with metallic earrings, my mom asked me to make her a wooden earring. I took the challenge and started working on it. I used veneer wood, as I liked its texture so much.

Moreover, it was easy to make; there was nothing I had to put a lot of effort into, meaning it was beginner-friendly. Regarding the accessories, you will need a basic set of Cricut tools along with a Cricut deep-point blade. In addition to this, you will need cardstock, earrings, hooks, and glue to do it!

Coasters

I love personalized crafts, so I made these beautiful coasters. They will help keep my table surfaces free from unwanted liquid stains. The more beautiful the design, the more wow reactions you will receive from your guests.

For Cricut wood projects like coasters, you will create a monogram or any pattern that you want on your coaster. Start creating the design on your Cricut Design Space, and let your creation spread like magic.

Home Sign

The home sign is the best home decor that I have created so far. Once a year, I always make a new home sign with a new, unique design. This ingenious design can be changed with every season. However, you can use any wood that you think will fit right for it. I love creating such crafts, especially with wood, so you can start making them as soon as possible.

Desk Organizer

With many incredible tools, such as a Cricut cutting machine, you can make fantastic, useful Cricut wood projects, like desk organizers. You can also keep things like pens or other Cricut accessories. With Cricut Maker, you can cut your wooden pieces into different shapes and sizes. The blade I have used in this project is a knife blade. However, the key materials are the Cricut StrongGrip mat, Standard Grip mat, masking tape, and fusible fabric.

Jewelry Tray

Nobody wants to lose their precious jewelry; hence, it requires a box in which it can be kept safe for a long time. This personalized tray can hold all types of jewelry and can also be used to gift jewelry. The hexagonal design of this box gives it a unique look. Also, inside the box, I used an engraving tool to engrave a single pattern.

Garden Signs

If you are looking for some Cricut wood projects for your garden, look no further than this garden sign. I made this beautiful-looking garden sign at my granny’s request. Yes, she is a passionate gardener, and she loves doing it. So, once a day, she requested that I make something for her garden. The herb will get a call out with this sign made using basswood.

FAQs

Question 1: Where to buy wood for Cricut projects?

Answer: Wood is available for your Cricut projects just a few clicks away. Popular e-commerce websites like Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, and Cricut’s platform offer a wide range of wood types. If you choose to buy from Cricut, you’ll even find wood specifically designed for your machine, such as the Cricut Maker-compatible Natural Wood Veneer - Cherry.

Question 2: What can I make for Cricut balsa wood projects?

Answer: The list of Cricut wood projects is endless, and you need to find only the best projects that you want to make. Below, I have mentioned some of the common projects that you can make using balsa wood:

Name puzzle

Home sign

Earrings

Coasters

Shadowbox

Ornaments

Question 3: Which Cricut machine is the best for cutting wood?

Answer: To cut the wood, you will need a robust Cricut machine. Hence, Cricut Maker is the perfect fit for crafters who want to make something out of wood. Whether it is balsa wood, chipboard, or basswood, it can cut everything up to 2.4 mm thickness.

7. Bookmarks

It is not the first time I made this bookmark; however, making it out of leather is something I have tried for the first time. Besides, I have used the same machine multiple times to make multiple things. Since this is a leather material, I have to use an Engraving tool to engrave the words. Also, to make the cut, I used a knife blade.

8. Coffee Mug

The coffee mug is one of the best Cricut Maker 3 projects for beginners, as it can be given as a gift. I love making this craft, and the result is quite satisfying. If you want to try this, you will also want a Cricut Mug Press so that you can transfer your infusible ink onto your mug.

However, the cutting design can be easily done on your Cricut Maker 3 machine. And trust me, Maker 3 will do its work nicely.

Coasters are an inseparable part of our lives. They are necessary to keep our dining tables clean.
