Cricut Maker

This machine allows you to die-cut your design into a wide variety of materials and opens the door to a lot of crafting opportunities.

Since this machine is so versatile, it can help create a wide variety of items including:

• Cardmaking, from a simple invite to intricate pop up cards
• Cutting fabrics for quilting, dolls, and more
• Custom Jewelry
• Stickers and Decals or other adhesive for signs
• Cutting pattern/letters into heat transfer vinyl for t-shirts, etc.

We keep the tools you need and vinyl in The Workshop. You can always bring in your own material for use on the machine at no cost, but it has to be approved ahead of time.

First, you'll need to make or find your design in a format that the Cricut Design Space reads. You can upload .jpg .gif .png .bmp .svg .dxf and font formats .otf .ttf OR you can create your design right in the software using the design tools.

The Cricut Design Space can be used on a computer or phone/tablet (available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store). You can create your own account or come into the Workshop Lab to use ours. When creating designs from home, just be sure to save them to the cloud storage so that you can access them when signing into your account at the library.

Determine what material you're using and what you will be applying it on. Also consider what colors you'll be using and how you'd like to layer them if the design calls for it.
