Cricut Crafts

I wish I owed a Cricut. This wonderous paper cutting device makes amazing crafts out of the simplest things. I’m a patient paper cutter – but no way could I do everything a Cricut does! Here are 24 Cricut paper cutting crafts, most on the simple side so that kids can do them. While the Cricut obviously requires adult assistance, the resulting work will look so good that your kids will be extra proud of their accomplishments! There’s a section for each major holiday – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter, along with a few general everyday Cricut crafts.

I’ve tried to find Cricut craft projects that don’t require a big investment in more cartridges, though some do, of course. Several of them offer free template downloads or instructions on how to create the projects on your own. Also, some of these patterns are just as easily made on other paper cutting craft tools, such as the Gypsy and Cuttlebug.

I know it’s very girly-girl of me, but I’d have to say that flower crafts really are some of my absolute favorites to make. In fact, I just bought more tissue paper today to play with some more paper flower ideas in the next few weeks. I truly believe you can never have too many paper flowers in your house!

Valentine Gifts Kids Can Make

I swear in these dark and dreary January days, Valentine’s Day is one of the only bright spots to look forward to! I haven’t been able to do as much crafting as I like lately – my craft room is still in the midst of a huge redecoration/reorganization. I’m waiting on a few checks so that I can grab my last major purchase – a desk for my sewing machine. I’m hoping it will all be done soon so that I can get some Valentine creativity in before February 14th!

My kids have their own work area, and my littlest daughter is especially antsy to get crafting again. She loves making presents for her teachers, friends, papa and grandma – and me! Once I show her these links she will be busy for hours.
