Paper Crafts For St Patricks Day - FREE SVGS

 
Where To Find Free SVGS For St Patrick's Day Paper Crafting

Paper Crafting Tips:

  • I mostly use cardstock from Hobby Lobby or Michaels.  Paper is 40% off every other week at Hobby Lobby, that's usually the most inexpensive option for me.  I like the textured 12x12 packs of paper there best.  
  • Wal-Mart has a colorbok brand 12x12 pack - the textured white is my favorite, and by far my most inexpensive option.  I also like their black.  The glitter  pack there however, is terrible, and does not cut well at all in cricut, it's just a mess.
  • For glue, I've tried the fancy Art Glitter Glue and others like it - but the tips clog constantly and I find them too annoying, if not used every day.  I've switched to Elmers Craft Bond Precision Tip.  Inexpensive, dries clear, and they don't clog up on me.  
  • For 3d craft projects, I often use hot glue.
  • For 3d foam dots and tape - check the dollar tree!  I buy almost all of mine there.
  • If your project has score lines, and they are not deep enough, duplicate them, and attach the duplicate score lines on top of the first set.  You can do that as often as necessary.  
  • Cutting paper is much harder on your blade than cutting vinyl.  These are the replacement blades I buy - they work great, and are very inexpensive!  https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2021/06/comparing-off-brand-blades-to-cricut.html

Making Felt Roses With Cricut - Free svg

 
Making Felt Roses With Cricut & The Rotary Blade

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!

This photo is the very bare bones - it was right after we finished the space.  You can see the one ceiling tile is not even replaced yet.  :-)
