Cricut Accessories

Cricut Essentials

Lately, I have been getting a lot of questions about what I recommend Cricut newbies buy along with their machine.

It’s a good question – if you aren’t familiar with all that Cricut can do and offers, it can be a little bit overwhelming when you look at all the supplies.

The first question you should ask yourself is this:

What do I want to do most with my Cricut machine?

This will help guide what extra materials you want to start out with – and help you decide if you want to buy one of the wonderful bundles available through Cricut.com.

So, here is a list of what I would recommend getting with your machine, based on what you are going to do with it! Remember, if you use the code CCWinter2020 you will get 10% off and free shipping on orders over $50 (excluding machines, EasyPress machines, BrightPads, and digital materials).

Cricut Essentials

For Everyone

These are items that everyone should really get for their Cricut machine, regardless of what they want to do with it.

  • Extra Mats – blue, purple, and green in all sizes (12×12 and 12×24)
  • Extra blades
  • Scraper
  • Weeding Tool

You may want to consider getting the essential tool set, which has all the tools you need to get started! A basic tool set is also a good option.

If you will be sewing . . . 

You can cut fabric with the Cricut Maker and the Cricut Explore Air 2. However, it is much easier and smoother with the Maker. Regardless, here are a few things you will need.

  • Sewing Kit
  • Brayer
  • Washable Fabric Pen
  • Extra pink fabric mat (in 12×12 and 12×24)
  • Extra rotary blades
  • If you don’t have a Maker, you will need some kind of adhesive backing for your fabric.

If you are just about to buy your first Maker, you may want to consider buying the Maker Essentials Bundle.

If you will be paper crafting . . .

  • Pens
  • Scoring stylus
  • Trimmer
  • Cricut BrightPad
  • Extra fine point blades
  • Extra deep point blades
  • Papers in a variety of thicknesses and styles (I really do love Cricut brand cardstock and other specialty papers – such as pearl paper, scrapbook paper, etc. – but any that you like will do).

If you will be making iron-on projects . . .

  • Cricut BrightPad
  • Cricut EasyPress 2
  • Iron-on materials – Cricut has a wide variety, including:
    • Everyday Iron-On
    • Iron on glitter
    • Iron on holographic
    • Iron on foil
    • I also love the iron on options from Expressions Vinyl.

If you will be making mugs, cups, decorations, etc. . . .

  • Cricut BrightPad
  • Any materials you’d like to work with – Cricut has a wide variety; adhesive vinyl and adhesive foil are popular, but they also have other items, too.
