Dollar Tree Cricut Products

So, it’s no secret that I love Cricut and the Dollar Tree.

Right?

Well, right. So it was really only a matter of time before I combined my love for both great brands in one post.

I run a Cricut Support Group on Facebook, and I am always seeing people ask where to get different products to use with their Cricut machine.

While I always recommend buying the actual vinyl, accessories, blades, etc. directly from Cricut themselves, when it comes to products that you can use to make Cricut creations….there are a lot of great options.

So today I thought I’d focus on products that you can buy at the Dollar Tree that will work beautifully for different projects. You can shop at the Dollar Tree online if you need to buy anything in bulk (or if you can’t find all of these things in store!).

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND: Here are over 80 Dollar Tree Cricut Project ideas! Many of them use products listed below. Enjoy!

Best Dollar Tree Products for Cricut Crafts

Felt Pennants

These would be great for creating custom signs for bedrooms, dorms, etc. You can cut out letters, shapes, etc., using your Cricut machine. I actually didn’t see these online, but they were are the end of the toy aisle at the store we went to.

Favor Boxes

Perfect for weddings and parties. I think it would be fun to use the writing feature to customize these! They have all sorts of colors and styles online.

Stuffed Animals – making stuffed animals with HTV is a super popular project, and you can often find some fun ones at the Dollar Tree – especially during Christmas!

Not all markers and pens work the Cricut machine, but I do believe the Dollar Store has a few options that would work.

Awesome Spray – I have not personally used this for cleaning my mats, but I have heard rave reviews about using it for cleaning your mats!

    It would help us beginners to see at least a few photos of what the project looks like after using the Cricut. Interested, but really unfamiliar with just what it does! Thanks

      There is a great post I link to in here with TONS of project ideas. I’m sorry I couldn’t create a project for every item listed here, but I simply don’t have enough time. This post is simply to help push the creative juices 🙂 If there’s a product that intrigues you, I encourage you to search the item name and cricut to see what comes up. Hopefully the other post can help you!

    Nice but this should really be updated. You need to remove the part about pens or makers that would work with the Cricut. I have the Cricut Explore Air 2 not sure if you have one or not but anyway. I’ve bought just about every pen, marker, and crayon from dollar tree for years and there isn’t any that would fit the Cricut just right. I know you said “it might work” in your post but it’s just pointless for it to be there. You might have readers go out of there way to look….which wouldn’t be fair to anyone. TRUST ME there isn’t any marker or pen there that would work with the cricut!

      I included that because I’ve had others say they do work 🙂 Thanks for your input! I regularly update this though – so perhaps take what you can use and ignore the rest 🙂 There seems to be no pleasing anyone these days. Have a good day!

    Recently I bought large cups with lids from the dollar store and decorated them for my granddaughters 16th Birthday party as favors for her guests.

    The canvas cosmetic bags from this winter were really cute by adding glittery names to them. I also did personalized cutting boards when they had the clear glass cutting boards. and when they have the t-shirts they make great gifts too. I would have posted pictures if I could figure out how to attach them.

    also we did phone cover cases that turned out AWESOME!!!!

        Is there a site that explains how to do vinyl projects? I’ve not gone this route yet as I’m not sure what to do with it. Also, has anyone ever cut fabric?

        • Katie says

          February 26, 2018 at 8:57 pm

          I have a few posts about vinyl – YouTube should have some videos as well. I have cut with fabric 🙂

    The cake carrier and the muffin carriers cute. I did both of them with designs and names on them

    Crafters!!! How about we thank Katie for taking the time she did to make this post instead! If you need ideas, that is what Google and Pinterest are for! I assure you, I have no imagination either and am brand new to Cricut, BUT have spent hours upon hours getting lost on Pinterest with all the amazing ideas others have had!

    So, with that being said…… THANK YOU Katie for your thoughts and taking the time to share!

    • Katie says

      January 10, 2018 at 11:09 am

      Thank you Amy, I appreciate your kind thoughts. I’m just doing the best I can! I definitely will try and do some Dollar store projects in the future!

    I love the Dollar Tree and Target dollar spot! I have made so many things for my apartment, my classroom, and tons of gifts with things bought there. The glass bowls can be personalized with vinyl to store stuff or for specific holidays to hold candy or other stuff. Various signs can be made such as a family tree or a cute saying and then framed. Don’t like the plain black or white, spray paint! I agree, let your imagination flow and think outside the box. Pinterest is a great place for inspiration. I also keep an open mind when I am out shopping or looking through magazines. There is always a way to make something to your taste, style, and within your budget.

    If u are a crafter.. use your imagination!!???
    Possibilities are endless!! I use clear glass… and etching cream to put names.. designs… etc. the secret to a successful etch is getting your designed positioned where you want it… getting all loose edges smoothed down and then use a blow dryer over the design with hot air on lower speed… run it over the vinyl a couple times.. but not to close… check again to make sure all edges are down tight..and the use the cream as directed… I started out with something simple .. so if it messed up I wasn’t losing a lot… results are amazing…

    I found mesh bags over the summer at Dollar Tree that made perfect beach bags to add monogramming. I didn’t have enough and the stores sold out quick. I didn’t see the identical bags online but I contacted the 800 # and the lady was able to find, order, and ship a box to me!

    What Dollar Tree do you go to. I have never been in one that the shelves are stocked like you show. They are usually pretty empty. I live in a suburb of Cleveland, OH

    • Katie says

      July 29, 2017 at 11:08 am

      I go to one in Littleton, Colorado. Most of the ones around here are pretty good. I went to one in South Carolina, and it was the biggest one ever! I’m sorry yours leaves something to be desired. That’s disappointed!

      At the beginning of the school year I get the pencil bags and put the school logo on them in vinyl.
