Five Summer Themed Cricut Projects To Make This Week-End

 Yardzee, Roll A Doodle, Cake & Casserole Carriers, and Reusable Drink Pouches - 
Five Summer Themed Projects To Make With Cricut

While working on projects like this in the summer, I try to think ahead - would any of them making a good Christmas gift for anyone on our list this year?  It's often easier to make three of something all at once, than to go back and make one later, and it's great to have a head start on our holiday list!

This Dollar Tree Cake Carrier is a fun project for transporting dishes, or cakes, to a Family Reunion or picnic this summer.  The carriers are not super strong, so if you put an entire bowl inside (as shown here) be sure to support the bottom and not just carry it by the handle.  :-)  

These carriers make nice hostess gifts too - you can just add the hosts monogram. in place of, or in addition to, this design.
Step by Step & Where To Find the Cut Files:

I love those foil pans for carrying casseroles to a pot luck.  But I hate transporting them - they are often flimsy.  And then I stumbled across these - holders for foil pans.  The center part, which I have of course decorated with vinyl, pops out for serving, then pops back in for transport.  It's one of my favorite things.

Yardzee is simply outdoor yahtzee.  You can also play Farkle with these, and probably a variety of other games we haven't thought of.  the Bucket makes it easy to transport to picnics and summer events, and it looks cute just sitting on our own porch at home.  :-) My husband cut the wood for the dice, but they can be purchased  - some Dollar Trees even carried them in their craft section  last year.

This is a  fun activity for kids at summer picnics and family reunions - and it's so simple!
Although I like the look of the tub, and it worked well for the picnics and events that summer, when it came time to pack the summer things away, I really wished I had made this in a flat container with a lid - something easier to store away.  :-) 

These reusable drink pouches are perfectly for slushies, and the vinyl on the outside helps everyone to remember which pouch was theirs.
