Holiday season can be overwhelming. The pressure is on to find gifts that are thoughtful, meaningful, and personal. I have a tradition with a few of my friends each year to create something rather than give a store-bought gift. Let’s face it, we don’t need more stuff, right? Ever since I started exploring the world of Cricut, it’s opened up a world of endless possibilities! Here are some Cricut Holiday Crafts we love!
THE CUTEST CRICUT HOLIDAY CRAFTS
I noticed several of my friends began talking about Cricut a few years ago. They posted images on social media of all the cool things they were making with this popular cutting machine. Personalized mugs, t-shirts, dog treat jars, baby bibs and onesies, and stunning greeting cards. The FOMO was real.
I began researching Cricut on places like Pinterest and Cricut’s own artist community and noticed projects were made by people of all ages and backgrounds globally. Artisans of all levels of creativity have catapulted this “maker” industry beyond imagination.
Inspired? Yes! But I know it all can be intimidating. Where do you start? What machines should you invest in? The Cricut Joy Xtra which I had a chance to play around with is definitely a great model to launch with. They literally have a plethora of ideas and how-to’s. Then, there are the tools and many options in materials you can use! Where does one start if you’re a newbie?
I had a chance to see how these were created one afternoon and had a chance to try for myself. Here are some ideas to get you started just in time for the holidays!…and if you have been making gifts with your machine please do let me know! I’d love to see!
What to make this holiday season!
Touches of Christmas around the home can bring comfort and joy!
Santa stops here! And for a snack no doubt! Personalize your Santa boards for a fun way to greet the guy with the gifts…and his hard-working reindeer too!
We all know a dog mom (or dad) who adores their furry family members. This would make for unique conversations at those “ugly” sweater parties or mornings of family pyjama photos.
For the baker and cookie exchange crew! Customized tea towels would be a winning idea!
Simple holiday decor ideas for around the home. Print out decals from the Cricut Access. Fill the jar with twinkly fairy lights or even fill it with candies as a great gift idea for teachers and co-workers!
Make your own mugs, stickers and bookmarks easily. What makes this idea fun are the options of materials from heat-sensitive adhesives (that change colour!) to metallics!
MORE FUN CRICUT HOLIDAY CRAFTS TO TRY THIS SEASON
Change up your home accent pieces easily like the interior designers. Seasonal touches tie in celebrations and remind us of happy times with family and friends.
More ideas for thoughtful home decor pieces with candles and frames. We love the frame idea, especially for families celebrating a new baby’s first Christmas.
Just in case Santa needs to know who’s to put the coal pieces in. Updated stockings for the mantel make for a fun gift.
Pretty table accents!
