27 Cricut Craft Supplies From The Dollar Tree

Cheap Cricut Supplies

I love finding a good deal on Cricut vinyl craft supplies and I tend to stock up on Cricut craft supplies during sales (Cricut.com has the best Black Friday sale!) but Cricut supplies can be expensive! One question I’m frequently asked is where can I buy Cricut supplies? Well, not only will I share where you can buy Cricut supplies, but where to find discount Cricut supplies! My favorite store to find Cricut supplies cheap is the Dollar Store. Keep reading to see all 30 Cricut Craft Supplies From Dollar Tree!

If you’re curious (or in a hurry)…

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and I use it to cut all of the Dollar Tree materials mentioned in this post.

It’s an excellent Cricut Machine and yet, you’ll also find that it is one of the cheapest options you’ll find online.

It’s available in several colors and gets great reviews. If you can get it for under $300, grab it. That’s one heck of a deal on a Cricut machine! See color choices, check the current price & read reviews here.

Cricut vinyl supplies at a good price are hard to find. I love crafting and making something myself rather than buying it, but sometimes the cost of supplies outweighs the cost of just buying the ready-made item. I looked for Cricut supplies at Walmart, Cricut.com, Expressions.com, Micheal’s Stores, and Hobby Lobby, but the most affordable and cheap Cricut supplies can be found at the Dollar Tree!

I first discovered Cricut Supplies from Dollar Tree when I purchased the Dollar Store contact paper. I tested the Contact paper at the Dollar Tree to see if it was a similar quality to Cricut.com transfer paper and to my surprise, Dollar Tree contact paper was a winner!

I wondered what other Cricut supplies I might be missing that I could buy from the Dollar Tree so I went shopping and came up with this list with 30 Cricut Supplies You Should Buy from the Dollar Store.

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the minimal cost for all the benefits!

What is Cricut Access?

You may have seen or heard about Cricut Access from Cricut or another blogger. Cricut Access is a membership that gives you 10% off your Cricut purchases (and various other offers and discounts) and access to thousands of images and fonts in Cricut Design Space.

I have a Cricut Access Membership, which provides me with thousands of free images to come up with some Cricut craft ideas. Be sure to check Cricut Design Space for some free Cricut projects! Some of the free Cricut DIY projects in Cricut Design Space can be used to sell (which makes the membership fee worth it in my opinion!).

I also include some of my Cricut supplies tips and Cricut hacks to use the Cricut supplies found at the Dollar Store below!

Craft Foam Sheets at Dollar Tree

Have you ever used foam sheets using your Cricut machine? I’ve made some basic shapes when my kids were learning shapes and used foam sheets from the Dollar Store to save some money on this Easy DIY!

–>>Check out these DIY foam stamps you can make using your Cricut!

–>>Get Craft Foam Sheets here

Felt Sheets

I’ve never found Felt sheets at the Dollar Tree but Felt sheets are under $1.00 and can be used in various Cricut craft projects.

Check out this post with a Cricut Made Felt Easter Bunny Banner!

You can easily make a cute sleep mask with Felt and your Cricut machine. Find the full post here!

Kids will love playing with this Felt Christmas Tree with ornaments made using a Cricut machine!

Decorate your home with this Felt Christmas light garland!

Make some Felt boutonnieres or corsages using the Cricut Maker machine!

The ideas are endless when it comes to using felt and the cost is so low, why not stock up on felt the next time it’s on sale!

–>>Get Dollar Store Felt Sheets here

Dollar Tree Card Stock

Yes, I found glitter cardstock at Dollar Tree! This cardstock has a sticky background so it can be used as vinyl!

Construction Paper

Construction paper is not the same as cardstock but if you cut as “light-weight cardstock” you can still get good use out of construction paper found at the Dollar Tree.

Try making greeting cards, party supplies (banners, cupcake wrappers & toppers, etc), and more using Dollar Store construction paper and your Cricut machine.

–>>Get Dollar Store Construction Paper here

Dollar Tree Copy Paper

Plain white printer paper can be used to create Print then Cut Cricut projects! Of course, you need a printer to print then cut with your Cricut machine 😉 but you can also use the pen/marker feature on copy paper.

–>>Get Dollar Store Copy Paper here

Wax Paper at Dollar Tree

Wax paper can be used in a variety of Cricut craft projects (here are a few found on Pinterest).

Freezer Paper

Freezer paper can be used to make stencils and found some awesome freezer paper Cricut craft ideas here!

Dollar Tree Parchment Paper

You can also use parchment paper with Cricut crafts! Here are some ideas to use parchment paper and your Cricut machine.

Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil is a trick that Cricut users do when they need to sharpen their blades. You can also use it for embossing with your Cricut! Check out these Cricut aluminum foil ideas.

Cricut Mat Scraper Tool Cheap

Why spend money on a basic Cricut toolset (starting at $25) when you can find tools at the Dollar Tree? I came across this chopper/scraper in the kitchen section that can be used as a smoothing tool or Scraper to burnish material and clean all cutting mats.

Cricut Weeding Tool Cheap

I use my Cricut Weeding tool A LOT but if I lost it, I could use these metal picks with a sharp edge to weed and remove tiny negative cuts.

Dollar Tree also has these piercing and scoring tools in the Crafters Square stores!

✅ Our Favorite Cricut Dollar Tree Item

This is the specific Cricut supply item that I stock up from Dollar Tree.

It’s an excellent brand, you’ll also find that it is one of the cheapest options you’ll find online.

It’s available in several colors and gets great reviews. If you can get it for under $6, grab it. That’s one heck of a deal on a Cricut contact paper! See choices, check the current price & read reviews here.

Contact Paper

This is my Favorite Dollar Tree Cricut hack of all! I saw this Clear Shelf liner at Dollar Tree and used it as Transfer Tape for Cricut vinyl projects and it works like a charm!

Why spend $7.99 a small roll for transfer paper (contact paper) when you can get a huge roll at the Dollar Tree? I just love this product!

You can even use these Dollar Tree Clear Contact Paper on your Cricut mats so the sticky side doesn’t wear as fast!

–>>Get Dollar Store Clear Shelf Liner (Transfer Tape) here

Cricut Dollar Store Vinyl (Dollar Tree Magic Cover)

Oh yeah, I bet you didn’t know the Dollar Tree carries Vinyl!

I found it in the school supplies section and it’s called “Magic Cover.” It’s used to cover school books but I tested this vinyl and used it to make a farmhouse sign!

Set your machine to “washi tape” to cut this delicate vinyl, which is removable (I wouldn’t use this vinyl on mugs/cups since it’s not a permanent vinyl).

–>>Get Dollar Store Magic Cover (Vinyl) here

Cricut Pens & Markers Cheap

If you have a Cricut machine with the pen holder, you already know how quickly the Cricut pens dry out (and they can be expensive to replace after just a few uses!). So I tried a few pens from the Dollar Tree and to my surprise, they worked great! For some pens, you might need to add a little painters tape around the tip (so it fits snug in the pen holder).

The Dollar Tree had these pens in various colors and black ink!

–>>Get Dollar Store Pens here

Plastic Folders

Yes, you can cut a plastic folder using your Cricut machine! The deep cut blade, rotary blade, and knife blade are amazing! Here are some Cricut craft ideas to use plastic folders!

–>>Get Dollar Store Plastic Folders here

Poster Board

Think of a poster board as a heavy cardstock. Whatever Cricut Craft project you make using heavy cardstock can be replaced with a poster board. The Dollar Tree has several colors in the poster board as well!

–>>Get Dollar Store Poster Board here

Stretched Canvas

Use Canvas to make Reversed Canvas projects using Iron-on, Vinyl, or the Cricut Pen feature. Remove the staples from the wood frame, place the canvas sheet on your Cricut mat and you can use pens or markers to draw your image right on the canvas. This is an awesome hack to try with stretched canvas from the Dollar Tree. My local Dollar Tree has several sizes available (including 8 x 10)!

–>>Get Dollar Store Canvas here

Scissors

If you are a Crafter, you probably already own scissors, but it’s worth mentioning that the Dollar Store has scissors that you can use for Cricut projects.

–>>Get Dollar Store Scissors here

Glue

I’m so happy that the Dollar Tree carries my FAVORITE tacky glue! I use this tacky glue on every material (fabric, wood, foam, paper, etc) and love it! This tacky glue dries clear and adheres well! I used to pay $7 a bottle at craft stores but not anymore!

You’ll need tape for Cricut cut projects (just like glue) so save some money buy buying tape from the Dollar Tree! I also use tape (painters tape or masking tape) to secure think materials to my mats (like heavy chipboard, foam, basswood) when using the Knife blade!

–>>Get Dollar Store Tape here

Chipboard

The Dollar Tree doesn’t sell chipboard but they do sell small shipping boxes and cereal boxes that can be used in place of chipboard. Craft stores charge $1.99 for one 12 x 12-inch sheet of chipboard, but the Dollar Tree has small shipping boxes that you can cut open and get for half the price.

–>>Get Dollar Store Shipping Boxes here

Burlap

The Dollar Tree sells burlap ribbon in the floral section, which can be used for various Cricut projects when cutting small shapes.

–>>Get Dollar Store Burlap Ribbon here

Fabric

Yes, Dollar Tree sells fabric (in fat quarters!) but if you can’t find fabric at your local store, they do sell fabric items that can be used to cut fabric with a Cricut Maker machine.

I saw these table runners in various colors that can be used for fabric projects.

–>>Keep in mind that you can find $0.97 Fat Quarters in Walmart stores fabric section as well!

–>>See how I used Fat Quarters to make Cricut Scrunchies in this post!

Terry Cloth

Another “fabric” that can be found at the Dollar Tree is Terry Cloth (hand towels) that can be cut with the Cricut Maker machine.

Duck Tape

Cricut.com has duck tape sheets but why not make your own? Use the backside (paper) of the clear shelf liner (or the paper side of vinyl that you would toss anyway) and attach duck tape to the paper to make your own sheets. Then use your Cricut machine to cut the Dollar Store duck tape!

–>>See more Cricut Duck Tape ideas here

Tissue Paper

Tissue paper is delicate but Cricut can cut it too!

–>>Go here to see Tissue Paper Cricut Craft ideas!

Washi Tape

Just like Duck Tape, Cricut can cut “Washi Tape Sheets.” You can also use the Cricut pen to make washi tape labels!

–>>Learn more Washi Tape Cricut Craft Ideas here!

Wrapping Paper

Use Dollar Tree wrapping paper to make little bags with your Cricut machine, cut pretty designs and use for various projects like paper flowers! Think of wrapping paper like light-weight cardstock or patterned paper and have fun!

Dollar Tree Cricut Supplies Wrap Up

Stock up on these Cricut Dollar Store supplies and get Free shipping to the store (or watch for Dollar Tree’s $1 shipping deals!).

If you’re lazy and don’t feel like creating your own stencil using Cricut, the Dollar Tree has plenty of stencils to choose from in different shapes and quotes!

Pre-Cut Decals

The dollar store also has pre-cut decals if you don’t feel like using Cricut. I’ve used several of these decals to update old farmhouse signs (check out this video showing you how to do it!)

Everyone on Instagram went crazy when I showed how to use a UNICORN Dollar Tree Decal to make this Sign for my daughter’s bedroom!

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?

Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way.

These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:

Cricut Easy Press

I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIY’s so much easier!

The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

–>>Get the Cricut Easy Press here!

Cricut Easy Press Mat

If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

–>>Get the Cricut Easy Press Mat Here!

Cricut Bright Pad

The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

–>>Get the Cricut Bright Pad Here!

Cricut Cutting Mats

I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

–>>Get the Cricut Machine Mat Variety Pack Here!

Cricut Tool Set

You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine.

–>>Get the Essential Tool Set Here!

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials

You can find other brand vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:

Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
Siser HTV
Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
Felt sheets at local craft stores

Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How To Choose a Cricut Machine

I bought my first Cricut machine in 2013… it was called the Cricut mini and was one of the first Cricut machines that didn’t have a keyboard. It was a great machine but as soon as Cricut released the Cricut Explore machine in 2014, I quickly bought it. A year later Cricut released the Cricut Explore Air and I bought that too. Then in 2017, Cricut released the Cricut Maker Machine and of course I bought it too. So you can say I’m pretty experienced with Cricut machines and have in-depth knowledge about using Cricut and various Cricut projects.
