What Can I Do With a Cricut Maker 3: Explore 6 Projects

Recently, I received a command on one of my previous blogs. In this, someone asked, “What can I do with a Cricut Maker 3?” After reading the comment, I wondered whether I had written something on it before. After extensive research, I found out that it still needed to be written, so I finally came up with this blog.

But before writing this post, I discussed it with my friend Jack, who is also a Cricut Maker 3 user. I asked him the same question I got in my comment. He advised me on a few Cricut Maker 3 project ideas that we can create using the Maker 3.

So, are you excited to explore these Cricut Maker 3 projects? Get into this blog and start searching for the idea that you like. I have mentioned the top 6 projects in this blog. Let’s delve into it to learn more.

1.  Large Vinyl Decals

Cricut Maker can easily help you get large-size decals. Let me tell you when I made this. I made this up on my friend Andy’s request. He recently bought his new home and wanted to do something for his wall.

He asked me, “What can I do with a Cricut Maker 3? Is there anything that you can advise me on? “As a beginner crafter, he needed something extraordinary, so he helped me make these wall decals. They look stunning! No?

2.  Personalized Vinyl Decals

Yes, you can also make personalized decals on Maker 3, as it is capable of making decals easily by cutting the material precisely. So, here is what you have to do: just install Cricut Design Space on your PC and start creating or editing the design on your Design Space app.

Then, just wait for a while; you have to perform the on-screen steps to choose the material. Finally, just cut the material as per your requirements on Cricut. Then, you are ready to go!

3.  Thank You Cards

Who doesn’t love the thank you message? So do I. Cricut Maker can cut a wide range of materials with different thicknesses. However, before making these cards, I was lost in my thoughts and thinking - what can I do with a Cricut Maker 3?

Thanks to my friends, who recently gifted me a platinum necklace. Since she doesn’t live here, I had to send her a thank you message to her. Hence, I created this beautiful card using my Maker 3. Can you see those green color cards inside those cutouts? That is nothing but an insert card. It also adds a creative touch to my crafts.

4.  Full-Color Stickers

A colorful sticker always looks amazing on a diary or journal. Doesn’t it? Look at those colorful stickers in the picture above. I made those using a Print Then Cut feature, which is easily possible with your Cricut Maker 3. Yes, if you still want to know what I can do with a Cricut Maker 3. Then look no further than such projects. Just use the simple paper and print your images using a compatible printer. Then, set up the materials on Cricut and start cutting it.

5.  Personalized Mug

Vinyl-based projects are my favorite, as they look fantastic when made. I made this mug as my first project on my Cricut Maker 3 last January, and today, I finally got a chance to mention it in this blog. I hope it will help you find the answer to your question: What can I do with a Cricut Maker 3?

But do you think only Cricut Maker 3 is enough for this project? The answer is No! You will also need a Mug Press to transfer the vinyl on your mug. However, Maker 3 is for cutting your design, not to transfer it to the mug.

6.  Custom Shirts

What about this vinyl shirt? Look at those intricate designs I made on Design Space. Isn’t that enticing? To me, it is wonderful! Try this and make it for your loved ones or yourself. You can create custom shirts in a few simple steps. You will need to create a design on Design Space and then send the command to your Cricut Maker to cut the vinyl. Lastly, I hope you find a satisfactory answer to the question: what can I do with a Cricut Maker 3?

This robust machine has a versatile feature that lets you cut 300+ materials quickly without interruption. The precision and quality it offers for your project are just amazing.

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!!!

[hellenhighwater]

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.

[alloftheimaginesblog]

so I got a cricut maker 3 and ive spent the afternoon creating and designing some keyrings and some bookmarks! I’m pretty chuffed so far, going to get some more vinyls and keep learning about what I can do etc!

might start up at Etsy shop at some point

Let me know what you think? Xx
