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 Dollar Tree. Keep reading and watch the video to see all 30+ Cricut Craft Supplies From Dollar Tree!
If you’re curious (or in a hurry)…
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.
This post was first published on March 1, 2019 and has been updated to reflect current Dollar Tree items.
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 Dollar Tree!
I first discovered Cricut Supplies from Dollar Tree when I purchased the Dollar Tree contact paper. I tested the Contact paper at Dollar Tree to see if it was of similar quality to the 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 Dollar Tree so I went shopping and came up with this list of 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!).

✅ 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 $8, 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 $9.99 on a small roll of transfer paper (contact paper) when you can get a huge roll at 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 Pens & Markers Cheap
If you have a Cricut machine with a 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 Dollar Tree and to my surprise, they worked great! For some pens, you might need to add a little painter’s tape around the tip (so it fits snugly in the pen holder).
The Dollar Tree had these pens in various colors and black ink!
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!
Poster Board
Think of a poster board as heavy cardstock. Whatever Cricut Craft project you make using heavy cardstock can be replaced with a poster board. The Dollar Tree has several colors on the poster board as well!
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.
Chipboard
Dollar Tree sells chipboard signs that you can use in your Cricut Maker machines!
Burlap
The Dollar Tree sells burlap ribbons in the floral section, which can be used for various Cricut projects when cutting small shapes.
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.
–>>Keep in mind that you can find $0.99 Fat Quarters in Walmart’s fabric section as well!
–>>See how I used Fat Quarters to make Cricut Scrunchies in this post!
Duct Tape
Cricut.com has duct 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 duct tape!
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!

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. I highly recommend it if you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s 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.
