Cricut Maker

[Sunshineandgin]

I was lucky enough to be given one of these for Christmas but don't really know where to start!

Any tips?

Cut some shapes in paper - pretty things that might sprinkle on a table
Cut and fold an envelope
Cut and fold a card box & lid

If you have vinyl then cut some stickers, a ‘statement’ or name for a notebook, t shirt etc
Ditto with a piece of fabric & stick or iron it onto something

Move on to making elements for card making

I have an Explore Air... I made a free 3D T-Rex head from the library on the app

Loads of fb groups for this and YouTube tutorials, try Jennifer maker. I got one just before Christmas and I love it!

Thank you, I tried the sample project that came in the box but it didn't seem to explain very much.

I'll have a watch of some YouTube videos and see if I can do a bit more. I'm a hobbyist rather than trying to make things to sell at the moment but I want to make sure it's not a wasted investment!

I think I'd like one of these, but I don't really know what you can make with it!

I've had to wing it a bit with miners some things didn't seem very intuitive. I used it to size up a small toy dog pattern into a draught excluder though which was very satisfying.

Miners = mine as

🙄

I got one on Black Friday - I love it. Wall decals? Printed T Shirts? Card making? You can customise just about anything.
