When I got my first Cricut a few years ago, I didn’t even know exactly what I could make with it. Once I started playing with it, I got this incredibly excited feeling because I knew I could make money with this awesome machine. I just knew I could start my own craft business with my Cricut because the possibilities are endless with this thing!

So today I want to share with you some Cricut craft ideas to sell for extra money if you’re wanting to start your own craft business, but aren’t sure what you should make. You can use these as Etsy Cricut ideas or for ideas of things to sell at craft fairs.

Cricut Business Ideas

I got a Cricut Maker about a year ago and I absolutely love it! I love that it cuts fabric and some thicker materials that the previous Cricut models couldn’t cut.

If you want to know more about the differences in Cricut machines, I have a complete guide about Cricut here.

There are plenty of ways you can create a Cricut business online and offline to make money, but some of the best ways in my opinion are on your own website, an Etsy shop and on Amazon Handmade. You can start a Cricut business selling crafts as a side hustle or your full time job.

The reason I love selling handmade crafts online is because you can work on your own terms, the start up cost is very low and you don’t have to set up a booth and take up your weekend to sell.

I would recommend starting your Cricut business on one platform like Etsy and add the others gradually so you don’t overwhelm yourself.

But I do recommend selling on more than one platform and definitely on your own site eventually because Etsy and Amazon can change their rules, etc. and you have no control over that.

I started with Etsy and I created AN ETSY SHOP SETUP TOOLKIT to help you get started easily with your shop.

I’ve tried to give some unique Cricut business ideas here because I think most people know the obvious things you can make with a Cricut like mugs, wine glasses, T-shirts and signs. I wanted to give you some Cricut project ideas to sell that are different and could be best selling items for you.

Since I’ve been successful with my Etsy and Amazon Handmade shops, I’m always thinking of crafts that I could make and sell, but I don’t have time to make everything I think of. So I’d rather pass those things along to you instead of letting them go to waste in my brain.

Who knows, one of these could be a profitable Cricut business idea for you to make money with your Cricut that creates the craft business of your dreams and allows you to work from home!

Before we get into the ideas of Cricut Maker projects to sell, I want to just say that you should always research any products you’re considering selling to see how much competition there is, how much the items are selling for and how many people are actually searching for and buying those items to be sure you will be able to make money selling them.

Also, creating products that will sell all year is really important. If you don’t have something for each time of year, you’ll see dips in sales and have a hard time making this your full time business.

When I first started, I happened to have a product for the season we were in. I got more sales than I ever expected during my first few months. But once that season was over, I was only making 2 or 3 sales a month.

I created The Profitable Handmade Product Planner and started using it to add items to my shop for every time of the year as well as different giftable items and price points and my sales went up to $10,000 a month.

If you’re experiencing inconsistent sales or don’t know where to begin with product planning, I know it will help you create the business of your dreams.

So, let’s get to that list…

20 Cricut Crafts To Sell

Sewing Cards or also called Lacing Cards

I had these when I was a kid and absolutely loved them! These are cards with holes so kids can sew yarn through them with a plastic needle through the holes.

You could use the Print & Cut feature on your Cricut Maker to create these out of posterboard or use heavy cardstock and layer it to make cute designs or create designs that the kids can color themselves as well as sewing through the holes.

You could also make these out of felt for a different take on it. Personalizing them would be a nice touch and make them unique to what can be bought in big box stores. I was unable to find a tutorial using a Cricut for this, but here’s an example of the product20 Cricut Crafts To Sell - Cassie Smallwood (4).

Sewing Kits

You can cut fabric with the Cricut Maker (and let me tell you, it’s amazing). So you could cut fabric pieces and put together a kit for someone to make their own DIY project.

For example, let’s say a Christmas stocking. You could cut all of the fabric pieces on your Maker and put them in a cute box along with the thread, needles, embellishments, instructions, etc. for them to create their own easy diy stocking.

You could also include a personalized name cut from heat transfer vinyl for them to attach or a cute wood or leather tag to hang from it.

Gift Tags/Favor Tags

Gift tags would be great for year round craft business because you can make them for so many events.

You could do them for all the major holidays as well as birthdays, weddings, showers, etc.

You can use the drawing feature on your Cricut Maker or Print & Cut.

There are lots of cute templates to use in Cricut Design Space. This would also be a very simple Cricut business idea that wouldn’t be super time consuming.

Gift Bags/Favor Bags

Cricut Access has a lot of different gift bag designs that you could use as a starting point for this.

Just be sure to make them your own in some way so you aren’t selling the same products as other people. Use some of the cutout designs from Cricut Access to create your own unique embellishments.

Again, this could be a great Cricut craft to sell year round without major lulls.
