Here are the best accessories to get the most out of your Cricut.
If you like making things, Cricut machines are fantastic to work with. However, they can't do it all alone. There are a number of Cricut accessories that can greatly increase the number of things you can get done with one of these machines, as well as improve your efficiency while using a Cricut. It can be overwhelming to put together a whole setup though, but we're here to help. I've put together this handy list of all the great little tools I use every day with my Cricut to make my crafting easier.
If you're looking to fill up your craft table with the right tools, these Cricut accessories are where I recommend you start.
Cricut makes great big rolls of Transfer Sheets to help you get vinyl from the adhesive sheet to wherever you want to put your creation, but that doesn't mean it's always the best tool for the job. Whether it's because of convenience or price or just the right amount of adhesive, if I'm working on multiple projects at once I prefer to use lint roller sheets instead. The convenient little roll on a nice handle makes it easy to get adhesive over the project and lift it off the paper, and the tearaway nature of the lint roller sheet makes it super easy to separate from the roll and get onto whatever the destination is for your creation.
It couldn't be easier for small projects, and it's way cheaper than using the official Transfer Sheets most of the time.
There are a lot of starter tool kits for Cricut users out there, and Cricut makes some of the best for the price. There's a weeding pick to help you lift up things you've already cut, a spatula to get bigger projects off the mat without tearing, tweezers for cleanup and precise placement and scissors for helping you get to the right part of the cut easily. And when you have the right piece off the cutter, you can use the scraper to either clean your cutting mat or more easily apply the thing you've cut.
There are certainly more tools available to advanced users, but this kit is everything you need to get started -- and genuinely what every Cricut user should have starting off.
