Cricut Creations No. 2

Monday, November 18, 2019

I don't think I need to tell you that I'm obsessed with my Cricut! I lurk in a Cricut Facebook group for people with these machines, and it's absolutely incredible what some people are making! Some women (and a few guys) are entering craft shows, selling on Etsy and making some serious money! It's so inspiring. I'm not quite ready to dive into a real side hustle, but it's so fun to feel creative and whip up a project. 

Here are a few things I've been crafting lately!

Cricut Craft -Homebody Sweatshirt | www.kristenwoolsey.com

A local boutique advertised a very similar sweatshirt on Instagram, and I knew I needed to make my own! They were charging around $35, and I spent less than $10 by purchasing this sweatshirt on clearance at Target. I love it so much, even if we've only had one chilly enough day to wear it so far this year.

Some friends of ours who recently moved here from Texas are going to Disney for the first time in their lives. I knew I needed to make them shirts! She found this design on Pinterest, and I was thrilled to find it on Etsy for $3. Super cute, and I get to make myself a matching one. 

Garden Flag Cricut Craft | www.kristenwoolsey.com

When I shared the garden flag I made for myself , a friend saw it and requested I make one for them. Such a compliment! Since my original post the flag I made completely disintegrated. (It was in direct Florida sun so I'm not surprised.) I found a similar burlap design but made from outdoor vinyl and redid both of our flags. Much better! This is why I hesitate to make this into a side business. I really need to test products for months before I sell them to others!

My sister requested I make custom cups for their family vacation with her in-laws. Everyone got one, and I was super proud of the one I made my brother in law. (He is a professional DJ!)

I want to make one of these beach spikes for everyone I know! They really come in handy. There is a place for your drink, phone and sunglasses. I was very proud of the design I made for Blake-he is an I.T. guy, so the computer was super appropriate. 

His and Hers Matching Disney T Shirts Cricut Craft | www.kristenwoolsey.com

His and Hers Matching Disney T Shirts Cricut Craft | www.kristenwoolsey.com

I may have shown these T shirts in another post, but I made them for our trip to Disney in September. I bought two men's shirts from J Crew and customized them with matching Minnie and Mickeys. (I bought a size small and rolled up the sleeves for a more feminine look.) In the past I've tried to go as cheap as possible and get a shirt from Walmart (which work just fine.) but, sometimes they aren't very good quality or breathable for that matter. These shirts were clearanced and I used a coupon code and we love them so much more than a cheap shirt. 

Tea Towel Cricut Gift Idea | www.kristenwoolsey.com

Absolutely one of my favorite parts of my machine is the easy gifting. I keep a small stash of blank items on hand for just this purpose. I made this tea towel for a friend's anniversary, and she told me how touched she was and how much she loved it. I didn't want to tell her that it basically cost nothing. I used a tea towel I had gotten for free from Grove Collaborative!

Ya'll Come Eat Kitchen Sign | Cricut Craft | www.kristenwoolsey.com

I saw this blank galvanized sign at Walmart recently and knew I had to get it for a project. I didn't have a project in mind yet, but I knew it'd be perfect for something. I ended up making a cute sign for above our stove! I think I will go back for more of these because there are endless possibilities for gifting. 

Suwannee Bulldog T Shirt | Cricut Craft | www.kristenwoolsey.com

I was also thrilled to make all my favorite little Bulldogs homecoming t shirts for spirit day! My sister in law told me to set up a cart and sell these at the homecoming parade. If I was bold and confident...maybe next year!

Leave a comment below and tell me what you've been crafting lately! And I want to know: what is your go-to gift for someone? Do you keep a stockpile of gifts for last minute situations?
