Cricut Maker Project Ideas for ALL Crafters

I’m sharing a huge collection of Cricut Maker Project Ideas that can be made utilizing all the Maker Tools! Come see all the different tools and a list of projects for crafters of all levels!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

If you’ve visited me before, then you probably know that I craft with my Cricut machines multiple times a week! With the help of my Cricut, I am able to create projects in half the time and my projects turn out 10x better than if I made them by hand! Over the last 7 years, I can’t even tell you how many times people have told me they have a Cricut and have never used it or have really only used it for cutting shapes out of cardstock!

If you’re new to Cricut, then you may want to first learn about the different Cricut cutting machines:

Cricut Maker — The Ultimate cutting machine that uses an Adaptive Tool System that allows for a lot more tools to be used and cuts to be made with 10x the force. You can learn more about it and all that it can cut here in my post about The Cricut Maker!
Cricut Explore Air 2 — this machine is perfect for everyday crafters that mainly want to cut vinyl, iron-on, cardstock and more! You can see my Explore Air 2 Review here or check out my Cricut Maker vs Cricut Explore Air 2 Comparison!
Cricut Joy — a compact cutting machine that is perfect for beginners or crafters that don’t have a lot of crafting space. Head over to my post to learn Everything You Need to Know About the Cricut Joy!

I also talk a lot about my EasyPress 2 and you can learn about it in post Everything You Need to Know About the EasyPress 2!

The thing that sets the Cricut Maker apart from the other machines, is that it has an Adaptive Tool System. The Adaptive Tool System allows for tools to be easily swapped out and supports the Quick Housing System and its sophisticated steering system that gives some of the tools the ability to cut even more intricate designs and apply 10x the force.

What Tools Does the Cricut Maker Have?

Now that you know about the Adaptive Tool System, let me tell you what Maker Tools utilize the innovative system!

Below I will get in more detail about each of them as I share projects with you!

Today I first wanted to share with you my five favorite projects that I’ve made with my Cricut Maker and then also share some other projects I’ve found online that I’ve loved. I’m going to start by highlighting projects that use each of the Maker tools!

CRICUT MAKER ROTARY BLADE and SEWING PROJECTS

As a very novice sewer, I can tell you this tool has made my life so much easier. I know my cuts are going to be made right and everything will look straight and pretty!! I also have some VERY talented sewist friends and they cannot get over how much quicker this makes the cutting of fabric process! The Rotary Blade can cut out everything from shapes to full patterns. Cricut Design Space even has full quilt patterns and dozens of doll outfit patterns in it! To learn more about the Rotary Blade check out this post, Everything You Need to Know About the Rotary Blade!

My top project has got to be my Fabric Bookmarks, which I made my kiddos for Christmas a few years ago. We also made some to give to their friends with a Christmas book! I’ve since then, made them more with other fabrics and they are their favorite bookmarks! I really need to update this post, with some year-round fabric options – haha!

Here are a few other Rotary Blade projects that I wanted to highlight:

CRICUT MAKER KNIFE BLADE PROJECTS

The Knife Blade is a game-changer for crafters that like to cut unique or thick materials! You’ll use the Knife Blade to cut materials such as Cricut Chipboard, Basswood, Balsawood, Leather, etc. Check out this post to learn Everything You Need to Know About the Knife Blade!

My personal favorite thing to cut with the Knife Blade is Cricut Chipboard! Chipboard is so fun to use on DIY signs to add some dimension. for buntings/banners, cake toppers and more! I wanted to highlight this Birthday Cake Topper!

Here are a few other Knife Blade projects that I wanted to highlight:

CRICUT MAKER PROJECTS USING THE SCORING WHEEL

The Cricut Scoring Wheel and Double Scoring Wheel are perfect for those that love creating party decorations, cards, gift boxes, rosettes and more! Really anything that uses cardstock, acetate or many other types of papers!

My favorite project that I’ve used my Scoring Wheel with is my Elf Cookie Station Backdrop. Have the scoring wheel score my rosettes made the folding of them a breeze! I also used my Knife Blade to make the sign too!

EASY PROJECTS USING CRICUT MAKER TOOLS

The 4 newest Cricut Tools are the Perforation Blade, Wavy Blade, Debossing Tip and Engraving Tip. Out of those 4, I have used the Perforation Blade the most and I love it! But, the others are a ton of fun too!

My favorite project to date using the Perforation Blade is my most recent holiday project — my Heart Attack Countdown Activity!

See the full project here: Heart Attack Countdown Activity made using the Perforation Blade and Scoring Blade.

Although the rest of the projects I am going to highlight technically can be made on any Cricut machine, I still wanted to give them a shoutout! I honestly use my Cricut Maker to cut Iron On, Infusible Ink, and Vinyl just as much as I use my Cricut Maker Tools!

EASY IRON ON CRICUT PROJECTS

Iron-On is just way too much fun and I’ve worked with it the most!! You can customize shirts, blankets, bags, socks and more!

INFUSIBLE INK CRICUT PROJECTS

I can’t lie! Currently, Infusible Ink is my favorite! Projects turn out looking so professional and the colors are so vibrant! You can make shirts, bags, onesies, coasters and more!

CRICUT MAKER ORGANIZATIONAL LABELS

Using my Cricut machines to create organization labels is way too much fun! It’s hands down the #1 reason I use Vinyl! But, I also love to make signs too!
