My Cricut Projects in 2017



In the last part of August 2017, I bought this magic machine.  I still don't completely understand all that it does - but here are a few of the things I have made with it in 2017!

       
 
Potholders & Dishtowels, Pillows & Curtains
How to Sew Simple Envelope Covers, and make simple throw pillows
Christmas Pillows - including how to layer the vinyl




  

 

T-shirts.  MANY t-shirts, and so many of this Red Friday design - Especially since our son is deployed, we all wanted one of these.



Count Down Boards
made with the dollar tree dry erase boards



Soap Dispensers
From Dollar Tree, decorated with Cricut designs.  The how to and all of the designs are here: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/decorating-soap-dispensers-with-cricut.html

A birth announcement elephant!  One of my absolute favorite projects, I can't wait to make more of these!


A thrift store redo.  I bought this old pail, and coasters, from our local thrift store, painted them, and added vinyl.  I love this garbage can so much!



Dollar Tree Tote Bags!
These are tricky to iron, the fabric melts easily

Soap labels!  For the first time ever, I am consistantly, and easily, labeling my soap!  I write the labels with the markers in cricut, then send them to cut.
 

EOS Cards & A Gift Card Holder
Reindeer cards that hold the EOS chapstick.  I'm sure I'll be making more of these for Valentines Day and Easter...

The gift card holder was a purchased design from: https://www.jamieandjenn.com/


Glass Etching
I've etched a few projects - but my biggest were plates from BIg Lots, that I did for Christmas Cookie plates for our neighbors

These are such a great, cheap, easy gift!  I have a few more planned as graduation gifts currently.  http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/cricut-flannel-blankets.html



A Decal For Our Mailbox
This red truck design was something I used a LOT this year!

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos. MF I Love Glitter        Smell The Roses            Shorelines        Stea        klcupid          Daddy's Girl             Beauty & The Beast          Ribbons & Banners            LillyBelle      ...

What Do I Need To Get Started With A New Cricut?

Which Cricut Should I Buy? I use the Cricut Air 2.  The Maker, which is the model newer than the Air 2, will also cut light wood, and fabric without bonding attached. (the air 2 will cut fabric if you use an iron on bonding material on it)  That was the only real difference I know of, and I don't need to cut light wood, so I went with the Air 2.  I probably would have been fine with the Air.  I think, from what I have heard discussed on facebook groups, the only real difference is the speed  - the Air 2 cuts faster.   Cricut has a comparison of all of their current models here: https://help.cricut.com/help/cricut-explore-difference What Else Do I Need ? 1. Facebook groups and Youtube.  Because the Cricut does not come with ANY instructions.  Nada.  There is one sample project included - a simple card.  And it's amazing to see the machine make it.  But when it's done...  You will need to search out what you want to learn....
