DIY laundry bag with the Cricut Maker and the EasyPress 2

November 27, 2018

I’m back with another Cricut DIY! This time using my brand new Cricut Maker machine! When I got my new machine, I also received the EasyPress 2, so naturally the first DIY with my new machine had to be an iron-on craft so I could try out the EasyPress.

If you are reading this and have no idea what a Cricut machine is, I would encourage you to go and check out my last post for to learn all about what these machines can do. (Coles note’s version: it’s a personal cutting machine that can cut a wide-range of materials.)

Let me start off by saying I love the EasyPress.

Affordable DIY faux marble bed-tray

January 6, 2018

I’ve always loved the idea of bed trays. Not only are they functional, but they really can add a little extra something to a room. There is something about a styled bed tray that I really love.

I spent a while searching for the perfect bed tray when I was re-designing my bedroom, but everything I found I either didn’t like or it was too much money ($60-100+) and I couldn’t justify the price. That’s when I decided to make my own!

I made this faux-marble tray only using three items and it cost me under $30.

DIY Personalized Notebooks with the Cricut Explore Air

June 4, 2017

I’m back again with another super easy DIY using my Cricut Explore Air. (It was only a matter of time!) I’ve had my Cricut for about 9 months now, and it’s safe to say that I’m still as obsessed with it as I was on day one.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with my machine by now, but just in case you’re not I’ll catch you up…

Cricut machines are personal cutting machines! They can write, score and cut a variety of materials such as vinyl, paper, faux leather, adhesive foil, iron-on and so much more. They come fully equipped with access to a web-based program called the Cricut Design Space that houses fonts and over 800 projects and 50,000 images for you to use to create projects out of. If you are design savvy, you can also create your own graphics and upload them.

Now that we have all the basics covered, let’s get to today’s DIY!

Easy DIY Geometric Coasters with the Cricut Explore Air

March 24, 2017

Since March is National Craft Month, I’m back with another DIY using my Circuit Explore Air. One of my favourite things about my Cricut machine is how versatile it is! Seriously, you can make so many amazingly different things with it. For today’s craft, I’ll be using a material that I haven’t featured on the blog before: adhesive foil.

If you’re not sure what a Cricut machine is here is a little refresher:

Cricut machines are personal cutting machines, aka superheroes, that can cut a variety of different materials such as paper, vinyl, craft foam, iron-on transfer, faux leather, window cling and so much more. They can also write and score materials and come with access to a web-based program called Design Space that houses over 50,000 images and 800+ projects. You can also upload your own designs if you are computer-savvy.
