For Felt Projects With Cricut
I am always telling new cricut users to NOT try to learn everything at once. Choose one project you want to make. Learn how to make that. Then move on to the next thing you want to make. What you need to know to make 3d Paper projects is so different than what you need to know for cutting faux leather, and what you need to know for making a t-shirt is different than what you need to know for putting a name on a tumbler...
There are a LOT of great designers with free tutorials and free svgs to get you started, with every type of project, in addition to the projects and resources I have here on this blog. This series of blog posts is my attempt to direct you to the resources for each type of project.
This is what I bought the Maker for. Well, projects like this at least. I've been able to cut just about everything with my Air 2 - except felt. For felt, you really do want the rotary blade, which means, you have to use a Maker. The Air 2 cannot use a rotary blade. All the frustration I've been through with trying to get a Maker that works (THREE machines. it took me THREE to get one that works - and I'm not convinced this 3rd one truly works as well as it should.. but at least it works.) And I've barely made anything at all with felt.
It's time to change that. I started with an easy one - felt roses. These are really quick and easy to make!
