Got a cricut!

Rekramer, on July 4, 2017 at 09:38 Posted in DIY 0 17

After a coworker told me last week about the cutest sandals that she thought i'd love for the wedding, my mom and I got to talking about t shirts for me and the bridesmaids and my mom suggested we make them ourselves (we're very crafty and picky). Long story short, after some humming and hawing, my mom bought me a cricut! We're both so excited for all the things that have suddenly become options! Laser-cut invitations (way too expensive before), neon yellow t-shirts (my favorite color that online custom-shirt places never have) and calligraphy-addressed envelopes (my handwriting is terrible)!


Does anyone have a cricut? Has anyone seen any cool projects that they'd like to share? I'm so excited I just want to cricut everything!

    Tried to pm you this pic but it didn't give me an option to add the pic. Anyway, j made this on the vinyl setting but with window cling material. Really happy with how it turned out.

    For anyone interested, this is what I've made so far. A really crappy luggage tag as a test run for my coworker. She's getting better leather this weekend and glue and we're going to try again. And a decal made of window cling for my phone.

    Yeah, I can get laser-cut style invites for $1.50 a piece with this thing, I'm so excited. I've already got a slew of projects lined up for it.

    Will do. So far, I've had awesome experiences. I only got it a couple days ago, and my wedding is not for a while, but i made a couple tester faux leather luggage tags and it was super easy.

    I'm planning to do the vinyl thing on a mirror instead of programs and menus too!

    Lol, I'm not that confident in my skills! But I have a coworker who is also recently engaged and we're now thinking wine and cricut parties to get us both crafting. My cricut arrived last night and I made faux leather luggage tags for a friend already! It's so awesome.

    Perhaps you can rent out your cricut to help pay for the wedding. I'm very entrepreneurial.
