100 Cricut Projects to Sell to Make Money from Home--with the Cricut Maker!


Let's talk about making money from home--I'm going to share everything I know in this blog post about working from home selling handmade goods!


Everyone could use a little extra income--right?  I love that I have found ways to earn income from the comfort of raising my children and wearing pajamas. It's turned into a profitable business and I have the best time creating!


I usually like to have a few avenues of income coming in...and this is one of my favorites.


Do you have a Cricut Machine yet?

I love my Cricut Maker 3 & Cricut Maker, they are equally amazing, the best Cricut machine and definitely worth their weight in gold. 


Apart from its value, I still like to have my Cricut Machine work for me...it needs to pay rent for sitting on my desk and taking up space. I have a Cricut Joy as well, but find it doesn't get nearly as much use as my Cricut Maker Machine.


I love making money from home and using a Cricut Machine to do it!  There's lots of ways to do it.   Just like any business venture, there is initial investments and costs...and no guarantee for success, but I'd love to share how I've made it work for me.

Let's talk about making money from home.  Everyone could use a little extra income--right?  I love that I have found ways to earn income from the comfort of raising my children and wearing pajamas.   I usually like to have a few avenues of income coming in...and this is one of my favorites.  Do you have a Cricut Machine yet?     I love my Cricut Maker 3 & Cricut Maker, they are equally amazing and definitely worth their weight in gold.     Apart from its value, I still like to have my Cricut Machine work for me...it needs to pay rent for sitting on my desk and taking up space.    I love making money from home and using a Cricut Machine to do it!  There's lots of ways to do it.   Just like any business venture, there is initial investments and costs...and no guarantee for success, but I'd love to share how I've made it work for me.

Step One:  


Selling crafts made with Cricut has become a popular avenue for creative entrepreneurs, blending a creative outlet with the potential for a thriving crafting business on their own time. 


The Cricut, a versatile cutting machine, empowers creators to craft an array of personalized items, from vinyl decals to intricately cut paper designs. 


Leveraging these creations into a profitable venture to make a lot of money requires a strategic approach.


If you don't get the maker, you'll always wish you did--it's a great tool and my best friend.


The Maker and cost of materials is pricy, however, sometimes you can find a better price or a giant bundle with it. I love bundles.


Plus, it can all be used as an expense for a new business on taxes.


First things first: Buy a Cricut Machine.  (If you can swing for the additional cost, get the Maker 3--it's 10X the power and has the adaptive tool set...great for the knife blade, scoring tools and fabric rotary blade).


Check out these bundles:

It's great to get a bundle because then you have some supplies to get started.  It's a great way to get going--you can purchase additional tools as you start to sell things.




Step Two:


Get inspiration!


The first step to inspiration if doing market research. A good idea is to research the items you are interested in selling--see how well they do and if it feels oversaturated.


Joining facebook groups, browsing Pinterest and searching Etsy can be an easy way and great place to get inspiration, ask questions and surround yourself with others that have made Cricut their business.  

  • Watch out for spammy content and don't buy things from people there, as many turn out to be scams. (I see this happen all the time and it's heartbreaking--people AREN'T getting rid of all their craft supplies--they are scamming you) ⬅️​
  •  Buy physical products from reputable sites with insurance and return policies. ⬅️​



Follow me on Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Facebook for more Cricut crafting too!


Try not to get hung up in the R&D stage of your Cricut business or the return on your investment will take much longer.


Don't try to make everything at once. Pick one or 2 products to make and then market and sell the finished product before diving into the next one.


Learn how to make projects with the Cricut machine to sell, gift, or enjoy. Start a side hustle or full Cricut business too!

Step Three:


Start making things!  Start with Cricut Design Space and make a project that's already tried and true. Maybe all you can start with is something simple, like a bumper sticker.  Make just one and take fabulous pictures of it--use daylight in a open concept flay lay for the best quality products.


Then post it for sale.  When it sells, have your machine cut one more out, ready to ship.  Bumper stickers are perfect because they are simple and cheap to ship.  You'll need Vinyl and Transfer Tape.


Cricut Access is an inexpensive way to have access to a huge library of files that are made to work seamlessly on any Cricut Machine.


After using pre-designed files, you can make your own designs and possibly start your own product line!

Once money starts coming in, you can invest in new supplies and things like the Cricut EasyPress 2 and Cricut Brightpad.


When  you are ready to scale up your business...you can invest in a heat press machine, sublimation printers and many other tools to make your crafting business versatile.

Step Four:


Now branch out and make all the things!  My general rule of thumb is: If you ever make an item for a gift or for yourself, make one extra to sell. (make 2 of everything)


I use a variety of Cricut products; permanent vinyl, iron-on vinyl, flocked vinyl, balsa wood and more--quality products can be found from other sources as well.


Establishing an online presence is paramount. Utilizing platforms like Etsy, Shopify, or personal websites provides a global marketplace for Cricut crafters to showcase their creations. High-quality photographs that highlight the intricate details of the crafts are crucial for attracting potential customers.

 A well-curated online shop, coupled with engaging product descriptions, enhances the overall shopping experience.


The power of social media should not be underestimated. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest serve as visual mediums to showcase Cricut crafts, allowing crafters to connect with a wider audience.

 Consistent and creative content, coupled with relevant hashtags, can significantly increase visibility and attract potential customers.


Building a brand identity sets Cricut-made crafts apart in a crowded market. Whether it's a specific aesthetic, a signature style, or a unique packaging approach, a cohesive brand identity creates a memorable and recognizable presence. Crafters should consider incorporating personal stories or behind-the-scenes glimpses to connect with customers on a deeper level.


Repeat the process and enjoy success!

What Sells the Most with Cricut?


One of the key advantages of selling Cricut-made crafts is the limitless customization. 


From personalized apparel--custom t-shirts to home decor, customers are drawn to unique, one-of-a-kind items that reflect their individual style. 


This allows you as the crafter to cater to niche markets, creating a more personalized and engaging shopping experience for your individual clientele. (if you are into galaxy, space and crystals--find a market that loves that stuff too--like a Rock Show Convention as opposed to a Motor Boat Show.)


Some of the best things to sell are the $10 or less items. I like to fill a whole table at craft fairs with $10 and under products--this usually helps with the impulse buys especially if there are a lot of things to choose from.

Here's a good formula for what to charge for handmade goods: Cost of Supplies + $20-50 an Hour for Time Spent

How to Price Craft Items for SALE

 

Pricing strategies should be well-thought-out. Factoring in material costs, labor, and a reasonable profit margin ensures sustainability. 


Offering bundle deals or discounts for repeat customers can foster loyalty.


Giveaways are a good way to gain a following or gauge interest. Make sure the giveaway is benefitting you rather than just creating temporary followers that will "like" for the giveaway and then quickly "dislike".


You want to find your people.


Where to Sell Handmade Cricut Crafts:


There are many places to sell handmade crafts.


Start with locals, friends and family: Let them know you can do Cricut customization, family reunion shirts, adhesive vinyl, etc.


Farmers Markets: Find out if your city or one nearby has regular farmers markets. They typically have an artisan section and are not too expensive to set up for every weekend of the Summer.


Business Outreach: Reach out to local businesses about making shirts, totes, coasters, keychains or other merchandise for them.


Selling on online shops, like an Etsy shop or launching your own online store or own website is a great tool for getting your products to your target market.




THINGS TO WATCH FOR:

  • Finding products or digital files that have a commercial license or commercial use--vs personal use licenses. (if you are just making personal projects you can use any file or theme)
  • Cricut Angel Policy (what Cricut creations you are allowed to sell)
  • Free svg files (make sure they have commercial use allowed and use them)
  • Shipping Costs (make sure if you are shipping product that shipping is included in the price)
