Here’s some of my favorite tools/accessories for my cricut projects!
My best friend. I cannot craft without my tape measure!

Have a nightmare of a project to weed? Get a light pad! The light shines right through the design and makes your life a million times easier!

Siser Tweezer
Absolute must have for getting your material flat, smoothe, and bubble free before cutting!
Cricut Brayer Tool
Make sure to use a dust cover when you’re not using your Cricut! The last thing you want is to open it up and have to clean it or risk getting particles in your projects.
