Getting Started With Cricut - By Project

Getting Started With Cricut - By Material Type

The first thing I try to tell everyone when they first get a cricut is "don't try to learn it all at once."

What you need to know to make a t-shirt is so different than what you need to know to make a card.  What you need to know to cut a felt flower is completely different than what you need to know to make a print then cut sticker.  

But where do you start for each of those things?  Here.  Start here.

  I don't have tutorials for each of those things, but I do know a lot of bloggers and crafters that I trust, so when I don't have the answers, I'll direct you to them.  

First - 

The Absolute Basics You Will Want To Know For Every Project Type:

 



Things like what is an svg, why you do NOT need to pay for Cricut Access, and a few other absolute basics.   

 


Now On To The Resources By Project Type:

========================

 


Most of the time, hand cutting these will be SO much faster and easier.  But using a cutting machine can be helpful for the detailed centers, and for the templates for hand cutting

 


A rotary blade often works best for faux leather projects, but for years, I used a Cricut Air 2 [still my favorite machine] and cut faux leather often. The Above link shows the settings I used for various types.

Making Cards With Cricut

  Tips, Tricks, Projects & Resources 
For Making Cards 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.

KIDS CRAFTS
If you have followed this page for awhile, you have probably seen a lot of my 4 year old assistant.  He's been crafting with me since he could sit upright by himself, and I design a lot of projects specifically for him, his younger brother, and his cousins [who currently live in England]
