Cricut Must-Haves
11
items If you are crafty and use a cricut machine, these are my must have items when using mine!
This is the Cricut machine I have and I LOVE it. It can cut over 100+ different types of materials, including vinyl, poster board, cardstock, fabric, etc.
Cricut Explore 4 Smart Cutter (Seashell)
I’d recommend getting some different mats - I typically use the standard grip & strong grip - however for very thin materials a light grip mat is also nice to have.
Cricut Cutting Mat Variety Pack 4ct 12x12
I LOVE these for intricate and very small designs. Makes weeding so much easier because you can see what you are doing.
Weeding Tools for Vinyl with Light, Pin & Hook
All the tools you will need to get started. Tools to lift, cut, and weed materials. The squeegee is also a must have (which is included in this pack) but I also recommend getting a larger one as well.
Cricut Basic Tool Set - 5-Piece Precision Kit
A larger squeegee is very helpful to me, especially with larger projects.
TECKWRAP Pro Squeegee Tool for Vinyl
For large projects, you are going to want bigger mats.
Cricut Cutting Mat Variety Pack 4ct 12x24
Permanent vinyl is typically all I deal with. I find the Cricut vinyl to be pretty good, but you can also find sheets at Hobby Lobby for $2.50 per 12x12 which also holds up pretty well. This is a great price for all the beginner colors you will need
Cricut Value Permanent Vinyl 10ft Rainbow
If you are wanting to apply decals to tote bags, t-shirts, or wood this is an affordable option! Although I would recommend getting a press with a CLAMP for larger projects so the pressure is applied evenly
Cricut EasyPress 3 Smart Heat Press 12x10
A great starter package if you want to make hats. Not only can you apply vinyl to these, but patches are also a BIG hit.
Cricut Hat Press Bundle with 12 Hats
If you want to make some custom cups, I’d recommend getting one of these mug presses. These are for infusible ink products or sublimation products.
Cricut Mug Press + 4 Blank Mugs (12oz each)
You will NEED transfer tape no matter what! The Cricut brand isn’t my favorite, but this one is cheaper and more durable IMO
