A Crafter’s Guide to the Cricut Maker

As a member, you will have ongoing access to this Skill Course.

THE COURSE

There are two skill courses, each one covering the two most popular cutting machines.  (Click here for the Silhouette course). Both courses are broken down into three parts:

Part 1. Working with the Cricut or Silhouette machine software
Part 2. Cutting the materials with a rotary and fine-point blade
Part 3. Assembling the six projects

THE PROJECTS

We love to make learning new skills fun, so crafting beautiful projects was a must for this course.

We will be cutting the materials and assembling these Farmer’s Market-themed projects:

1. Monogrammed tumblers with decal vinyl
2. “Farm to Table” HTV design for denim tote bag
3. Cardstock treat box with print then cut labels
4. Felt sunglasses case with an HTV monogram
5. Frosted paper Lewisia flowers
