My Cricut Projects in 2017



In the last part of August 2017, I bought this magic machine.  I still don't completely understand all that it does - but here are a few of the things I have made with it in 2017!

       
 
Potholders & Dishtowels, Pillows & Curtains
How to Sew Simple Envelope Covers, and make simple throw pillows
Christmas Pillows - including how to layer the vinyl




  

 

T-shirts.  MANY t-shirts, and so many of this Red Friday design - Especially since our son is deployed, we all wanted one of these.



Count Down Boards
made with the dollar tree dry erase boards



Soap Dispensers
From Dollar Tree, decorated with Cricut designs.  The how to and all of the designs are here: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/decorating-soap-dispensers-with-cricut.html

A birth announcement elephant!  One of my absolute favorite projects, I can't wait to make more of these!


A thrift store redo.  I bought this old pail, and coasters, from our local thrift store, painted them, and added vinyl.  I love this garbage can so much!



Dollar Tree Tote Bags!
These are tricky to iron, the fabric melts easily

Soap labels!  For the first time ever, I am consistantly, and easily, labeling my soap!  I write the labels with the markers in cricut, then send them to cut.
 

EOS Cards & A Gift Card Holder
Reindeer cards that hold the EOS chapstick.  I'm sure I'll be making more of these for Valentines Day and Easter...

The gift card holder was a purchased design from: https://www.jamieandjenn.com/


Glass Etching
I've etched a few projects - but my biggest were plates from BIg Lots, that I did for Christmas Cookie plates for our neighbors
