What is your skill level with your Cricut machine?
TikTok has some of the best ideas – and there’s no exception when it comes to crafting and Cricut. Here are some of the best ideas I found on TikTok!
Earlier this year, I really got into TikTok.
I scoffed at TikTok for the longest time, and then I realized how many amazing ideas were on there!
One thing I discovered pretty quickly was that the crafting community has shown up there, which is AMAZING – especially my Cricut friends.
I am constantly finding new tips and tricks to make Cricut crafting a little more efficient. I mean, I already knew quite a few Cricut Hacks, but some of these are just plain brilliant.
So today, I gathered a bunch of my favorite Cricut hacks that I learned on TikTok. I have embedded the original video (that I saw) below for you to watch!
Some of these are better than others, so make sure to watch them all. You never know – you might learn something learn!
Dollar Tree Clips
@diyholic Saw this hack from @r.rapparel and had to try! ☺️✨ #cricut #cricuthacks #cricutmade #cricutmaker #cricutprojects #ReadySetShop #diy #lifehack #hack
♬ Therefore I Am – Billie Eilish
When I first saw this one, I was kind of like…ehhhh. But I can see the appeal of doing this, especially if you feel like you are losing a bit of vinyl when trying to trim the vinyl down to size for the mat.

I was so excited to see this one, because I have this happen SO much. There’s nothing more annoying when you are making a design and a space just randomly fills in.
Crayola Markers Perfect Fit
@peculiarpetz cricut hack!🤗 #cricut#hack#etsy#crayola#frugal#fyp#yourewelcome#viral#yas#savemoney
♬ original sound – peculiarpetz
I’ve always known that you can use different pens with your Cricut, but sometimes they require a little adjustment. Not Crayola Thin Markers – they fit right in the tool holder!
Get More Stickers on Print, then Cut
@skylargraceco so annoying how cricut automatically does this! #cricuthack #stickerhack #smallbusinesstip #cricuttips #cricutstickers #stickershop #fyp

Brilliant! It has always bugged me how much space I was wasting. This was definitely a new one to me.
Best Way to Apply Vinyl

♬ Ice Dance (From “Edward Scissorhands”) – Ashton Gleckman
This was specifically for applying vinyl to large projects, but I saw several other TikTok videos showing a similar technique for smaller items. This just all around seems brilliant.
Easily Add Vinyl to Tumblers

♬ Smoothie – Sevvans
I don’t make a lot of cups, but I am definitely storing this one away for later (especially since I just got a tumbler cup turner!)

Keep Vinyl Flat

♬ Put Your Records On – Ritt Momney
I didn’t feel like this was super amazing, just because I don’t feel like this is really a problem I have (or at least, it doesn’t bother me?). However, if you have a lot of rolled up vinyl, this one is handy!

♬ FEEL THE GROOVE – Queens Road, Fabian Graetz
I’ve seen this one a lot, but it didn’t strike me as something I would use very often. However, it was one of the most popular hacks I saw, so I guess people love this idea. I also have about 20 weeding tools, haha!
Large Scraper Tool

Cricut does have an XL Scraper, but this is cheaper and looks awesome. Definitely going to make one of these next time I am able to get The Dollar Tree!

Baby powder is pretty common, so I thought this was another interesting, similar idea.
Caligraphy Hack

♬ original sound – Crafty_Gabby
This seems pretty helpful, though for me, it takes too much work! But if you don’t mind making the design in Word first, not a big deal!
