What is a Cricut Machine and What Can I Use It For

What in the world is a Cricut and what do you use it for? I mean, what sort of things can you make with it?

I would have to say this question is the number one question my friends ask me when I show them all the things I’ve been making with my Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine.

First things first, what the Cricut is not…
It’s not Cricket Wireless, although it does have Bluetooth wireless technology. lol
It’s not the Crickets you hear outside
It’s not that awkward silence after someone tells a bad joke

Crazy as it sounds some of my friends have mentioned the above Crickets so I figured I’d let you know right away it’s not any of those three things. 🙂

When I describe the Cricut to my friends I usually tell them, it’s a machine that cuts all sorts of things. From vinyl, card stock, paper, Iron-on, bonded fabric, poster board and soooo much more. Like more than 100 different materials more PLUS you can also draw, score, and engrave with it.

Projects you can make with the Cricut Machine

Make Customized & Personalized Designs for:

  • Car Decals
  • Wall Decals (Decorate your home with beautiful quotes and scriptures)

Farmhouse Wooden Sign - Always Stay Humble and KindAs you can see, the amount of DIY Projects you can make with your Cricut is limitless. I’ve seen people take photographs of loved ones they’ve lost and made vinyl decals to put on their cars or put that image on t-shirts for everyone. It’s mind-boggling the number of creative projects you can make with this machine.

Some other cool things to note about the Cricut is:

  • You’re able to use over 3,000 ready-to-make projects or make quick cuts from their extensive image library
  • You can use your tablet, smartphone or computer to create projects
  • It has Bluetooth Technology so you can use it wirelessly
  • You can upload your own images
  • Use your own Fonts

Projects I’ve made with my Cricut so far and what sort of projects they were

The following images are DIY projects that use Vinyl. Vinyl is like stickers but lasts so much longer and are extremely durable. You can place these on walls, cars, glass, wood, furniture, cups or pretty much anywhere you’d like.
