What is a Cricut Machine?

A Cricut is a cutting machine that can cut a wide variety of materials for your craft projects like paper, vinyl, HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and cardstock. Some cricut design space machines can even cut thin wood, leather, fabric and more. These t-shirts, crepe paper flowers, and this sign were all made with my Cricut. The best machine for a beginner on a budget is the design.cricut.com/setup. The Cricut's most popular machine, and for a good reason! It cuts over 100 materials: cardstock, vinyl, iron-on, and specialty materials like glitter paper, cork, and bonded fabric. Design Space (our full-featured design app that connects to any cricut.com/setup) is free and you can jump in right away to start making. With Access, you get all the perks listed above. Those new to Cricut can (and highly recommend) take advantage of the free 30-day trial.
