MAKE IT SPARKLE!
From pennants to wave at the holiday parade to personalized shirts for the family, or decor for the home, why not get in the patriotic spirit by crafting items together as a family. The Cricut Maker will help make all your crafting POP! It is the ultimate smart cutting machine.
The Cricut Maker works with 300+ materials, including popular materials like vinyl, iron-on & cardstock — plus felt, cardstock, leather, matboard and more.
For 4th of July, we decided to make some pennants to wave at the parade and we found some great projects on Cricut Design Space and used the Cricut Maker to cut the felt and Smart Iron-on material. We then used our Cricut Easy Press to iron on the lettering. We added some festive ribbons.
We also used the Cricut Maker to make some patriotic decor. We made a banner with glitter cardstock and added patriotic ribbon. We couldn’t believe the precision the Cricut Maker had with cutting wood. We made a wood garland and added vinyl lettering.
Our kids enjoyed finding designs on Cricut Design. They personalized it by picking out colors for their shirts. They made shirts they could rock at the parade or watch the fireworks.
