I could not live without my Cricut Explore Air 2... especially during the holidays! From creating one of a kind gifts for friends and neighbors to creating personalized gifts for family, my Cricut does it all and then some!
Check out my top 10 Cricut must haves for the holiday crafter!
Cricut Access
A yearly subscription to Cricut Access is a must! There are thousands and thousands of images and fonts to choose from.
Cricut Explore Air 2 Machine
Of course you're going to need a Cricut Explore Air 2 machine to help with all the creating. I remember the days before I had my Cricut machine and I felt like I was spending hours and hours cutting out projects. Now I can make party decor, Christmas gifts and home decor in a matter of minutes! One of my favorite projects to make for kids is their own book tote that has their name on it and then I fill it with lots of fun books to read! This would make a perfect Christmas gift for kids of any age. I love my Cricut Explore Air 2 because of all the personalized gifts I can create like the book bag for all my friends and family for Christmas.
EasyPress
Whether you're making personalized Christmas pajamas for the kids or matching holiday shirts for the family, ( I always love making matching Disney shirts when we go to Disneyland!) you'll definitely want an EasyPress. There are different sizes to choose from so pick the one that works best for your projects. I love the EasyPress 9" x 9" size because it's perfect for the projects that I make the most, which is tshirts and tote bags. This is the perfect size for those projects and I make A LOT of these items during the holidays.
Ultimate Fine Point Pen Set
I love using my fine point pen set to address envelopes for all the holiday cards we send out. I especially love that my Cricut Explore Air 2 can do all the writing for me! Having my Explore Air 2 do all the writing and addressing for me is such a huge time saver during the hustle and bustle of the holidays. There are SO many other things I'd rather be doing that addressing Christmas cards and I'm sure we can all agree with that!
Patterned Iron-on
I love the patterns from this iron on collection. They'd be so cute as a "visions of sugarplums" theme for Christmas pajamas for the kids or adorable Christmas tshirts to wear during all the festive parties and outings.
Here are some more sweet iron-on images that would be darling for matching Christmas shirts or pajamas. You could also iron on these images onto a reusable holiday tote for all your holiday shopping!
Cricut Premium Vinyl
Vinyl is my go-to when making projects for neighbor gifts. I love to personalize a plate with the neighbor's last name on it using vinyl and stack delicious homemade cookies on the plate. Then I wrap it all up, add a tag and a bow and I'm all set! You can whip up gifts like this in no time using vinyl and Cricut has a beautiful array of colors to choose from!
The lightweight, low-profile BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.
This tool is a must, especially if you're working with a lot of vinyl and iron-on making holiday gifts.
I'm a part of a Christmas countdown group where 24 members create 24 projects. Then we collect everyone's items and assemble them into kits with 24 different handmade creations. Each member recieves 24 gifts to open throughout the month December. This year I'm making vintage Santa banners ( they're ADORABLE and I'll have to post a pic when I'm finished making them) and I'll be doing a ton of weeding ( removing all the excess material, in case you weren't sure what that meant!) so this basic tool kit is a must have for all that weeding and scraping off the excess vinyl from the mat.
Creating your own Christmas cards sounds time consuming and a bit daunting, right? With the Cricut Explore Air 2 you can whip out dozens of cards in no time and with this beautiful Christmas paper, you'll have the cutest cards on the block! Be sure to check out all of the darling scrapbook paper Cricut has to offer!
Printable Sticker Paper
Printable sticker paper sure comes in handy when you are creating your own return address labels or making cute stickers to add to gifts. Simply pick out your favorite Christmas design in Cricut Access and print it out onto the sticker paper. You can make so many different stickers and labels to coordinate with any gift package!
