Who else loves their Cricut Explore machine? For me, I wanted a machine for so long and yet once I had one I was too scared to open it up. It wasn’t until I had a project that forced me to open it all up and learn how to use it that I opened a crafting can of worms.
The Cricut Explore changed my DIY world and really upped the quality of my projects I made. Carrying my first DIY baby shirts with me, I showed them to everyone and said “can you believe I MADE this?” I was PROUD of myself and not afraid to tell the world. And I want everyone who loves to create to have that same proud project moment.
Because the project is what motivated me to get making, I wanted to share some easy projects to get you started. These projects each have a new skill to learn and build those skills to have you making all the amazing projects.

DIY Coloring Pillowcase
This project uses one color of iron on vinyl. I love iron on vinyl, because it is so much easier to work with. Depending on the font used, this is a very basic project that can be adapted later on with complicated designs and patterns.

DIY Car Play Mat with the Cricut Maker
This car play mat was one I made years earlier with fabric, painfully stitching each building down to the base fabric. It took so much time and wasn't the best quality. Using iron on vinyl was a game changer, enough that I was willing to remake the project!
