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.
Fix Filled in Spots

♬ The Banjo Beat, Pt. 1 – Ricky Desktop
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
♬ original sound – skylargraceco
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
@homesweetpink The secret sauce #cricut #cricuthacks #cricutprojects #stratacups #cricutcreations #lifehack #vinyldecals #diy #diytiktoks #learntiktok
♬ 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!)
Cut Thin Text Easier

It is SO frustrating when this happens. Great tip that I saw many times on TikTok with rave results.
How to Make Offset Text

♬ FEEL THE GROOVE – Queens Road, Fabian Graetz
This is a really popular trend for text. I never knew how to make it in Cricut before! Super cool.
Rolled Flower Hack
@vinylglitz Cricut Rolled Flowers Hack! #cricutexplore #cricut #youtuber #cricuttutorials #cricuthacks #flowers #paperflower #paperflowertutorials #crafty #craft
♬ Swear By It – Clutch
Okay this is probably my favorite hack that I’ve seen! My mind was blown as I watched it. I HATE making paper flowers, and this just seemed to smart.
Keep Vinyl Flat
@diyholic Quick Cricut Hack ✨ #diy #cricut #cricutmaker #cricutprojects #cricutmade #cricutprojects #cricuthacks #lifehacks #diys #MusicLesson #myart #craft
♬ 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!
Weeding Small Text

♬ Viva La Swing aka #SandoTwist by @Abiud_Sando – Mingaling 2.0
Weeding small text is not fun! This definitely makes it easier.
Homemade Weeding Tool

♬ 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
@juniperpointdesignco PART 6 – Things from the Dollar Tree that I use in my everyday business »SCRAPPER DUPE‼️ #dollartreehacks #cricuthack #hacks #dollartree #series #dupe
♬ 原聲 – Mj.无名氏
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!

Makeup Powder for Easier Weeding
@kayscreati0ns Best Cricut hack ever #cricut #fyp #diy #cricutmaker
♬ Ice Me Out – Kash Doll
Baby powder is pretty common, so I thought this was another interesting, similar idea.
Caligraphy Hack
@crafty_gabby Cricut calligraphy hack for beginners #cricuthacks #cricut #diy #crafts #fyp
♬ 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!

Weeding Trash Can

I like that this has a way to get the vinyl off of your little tool and then dispose of them easily! Definitely a great way to use those old Lysol containers.

This wasn’t my favorite, just because it seemed like too much work (but I also have A LOT of rolls of vinyl). Great for anyone who has trouble remembering what roll of vinyl is for what!
