The Best Cricut Ideas for Christmas!!

Check out a huge list of the Best Cricut ideas for Christmas!! Tutorials for DIY Christmas signs, mugs, ornaments and a ton of Cricut gift ideas!

Hello Friends!!  I was going through all my pictures on my google drive and came across all my DIY Christmas decor and gifts that I made last year. 

So, I thought I should just make a round-up of all my best Cricut ideas for Christmas! (If you don’t have one, you can read my post here on why I love my Cricut so much.)

Last year I went crazy with making DIY Christmas signs, wine glasses, mugs, plates, and glitter ornaments.  They are all so fun and pretty easy to make. You can browse through all of DIY Christmas decor here.

I have a ton of tutorials on how to make all sorts of things with a Cricut.  They are a bit pricey, but when you think of all the money you can save from making instead of buying gifts, it is well worth it!

Save up or better yet, ask for a Cricut for Christmas… hint, hint… You can even share this post with your hubby or parents so they really get the hint!!

P.S. you can also share my posts on which Cricut is right for you and all about the new Cricut Joy to give them more hints!!

All of these Cricut Christmas projects you can either keep for yourself or make as gifts for friends, family, teachers, hostess gift, secret Santa, etc.  Everyone loves personalized, handmade gifts or sentimental gifts (Click the link for 25+ sentimental gift ideas to make!).

Painting on burlap is so easy and fun! Burlap is one of my favorite things to decorate with because I can switch it out after the holidays are over.

Painting on burlap using a freezer paper stencil gives it that rustic or farmhouse feel.

Almost all of my Christmas signs in my house I made myself from wood or MDF that was given to me. You can check out my tutorial on how to paint wood signs here!

Chalk paint is my favorite paint to use because it is so forgiving and I love to sand a bit of it off to go with my rustic Christmas vibe.

Used scrap wood and the PVPP method of painting. Then screwed each piece onto a long piece of wood.

All the cut files are from a variety of places.  Some I created in Cricut Design Space, some I bought off Etsy, some I found in Facebook Cricut groups, and others were from free SVG sites.

You can browse my library of free SVG cut files by clicking here!

There are a ton of resources out there to find cute cut files.  There are a ton of Facebook Cricut groups where people will share files for personal use too.

LoveSVG is a great place to find free cute cut files. Most are for personal use but every week they also have freebie commercial use files!  I check out their website at least once a week to see what’s new.

So, what else can you make besides signs??  Keep on scrolling to see a lot of great Cricut gift ideas or things that are just fun to make for yourself!

Love your blog. I think I will do the spray glitter on my yeti. I was wondering, I’ve noticed you can’t buy the cartridges for the cricut’s anymore. I have one of the cricut expressions, does that have the ability to get designs online and transfer to it and cut out?

Hi Lavannia! Thanks so much! There might be some cartridges out there on Ebay or Craigslist. I know I sold all of mine. I started out with the Cricut Expression and I'm trying to remember! There was a free program called Cricut Craft Room that I used with the Expression to design on. It was a download that they offered for free. I'm sure you can google it and I would think it's still available! Good luck and hope that helps!
