Felt Cricut Projects

 

Felt decorations have been everywhere this holiday season (check out this DIY felt Christmas Tree for the kids). So I decided to try making a garland that resembled large colorful Christmas lights using felt. I used my Cricut Maker machine to do the cutting for me, but you can easily make this DIY Felt Christmas Light Garland by cutting by hand. Download the free template to make it below!

 

I love this easy DIY felt Christmas craft decoration idea!

 

 

You’ll need a Cricut Maker Machine or Silhouette cutting machine to make this project. Just upload the SVG or PNG in the program you use (I use Cricut Design Space), size, cut, and apply!

 

 

If you’re curious (or in a hurry)…

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and I use it for the tutorial 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 $400, grab it. That’s one heck of a deal on a Cricut machine! See color choices, check the current price & read reviews here.

What is Cricut Design Space?

 

Cricut Design Space is the program you will need to design and cut your Cricut projects. When you set up your Cricut machine, you will need to install Cricut Design Space. All Cricut machines come with Design Space, their free, easy-to-learn design software. It’s cloud-based so you can access your files from any device, any time. Start on your phone, continue on your laptop, and even work offline – all without breaking stride. From there you have the option to arrange a design from scratch or select from thousands of ready-to-make projects. Place your material on a mat, load it in the machine, and press Go. The machine handles the rest.

Design Space features tons of ideas to kickstart your next masterpiece. Browse and play with thousands of images, fonts, and ready-to-make projects. Since Cricut is adding more all the time, you’ll always find something fresh, new, and inspiring.

 

Do you need a computer to use a Cricut machine?

 

A computer is recommended, however, you can access Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Explore Air machine through mobile devices (iPad, iPhone, and Android devices). I highly recommend using a computer with Cricut Design Space and a Cricut Machine because you will have the full design options in Design Space and your machine needs to be close by to cut (even if you are using wireless Bluetooth).

 

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!).

Making personalized gifts, cards, home decor, farmhouse signs, and more is easy with a Cricut Explore Machine.

 

✅ This is the Cricut Machine that I own and use it for everyday materials. I also have this machine but I only use it to cut fabric ????

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!

Here are some Cricut Basics!

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

 

Cricut Supplies Beginners

 

 

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 😉

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.

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.

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.

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.

How To Save Money on 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.
