Having a cutting machine is very exciting, but sometimes it feels overwhelming. There are so many options for projects, and so many tools, too, that knowing where to get started seems to be half the battle. Be it a Cricut, Silhouette, Brother ScanNCut, or any other cutter, the beginner-friendly projects will perfectly fit in place to help build confidence and learn the basics. In this post, we have rounded up some easy but fun projects to help you kickstart your crafting adventure.
Vinyl decals are one of the simplest and most rewarding beginner projects. You can decorate water bottles, laptops, car windows, or even home decor items with your favorite quotes or designs. First, start with a single-layer design to practice cutting, weed, and applying vinyl.
Other great starting projects involve HTV. To make a custom t-shirt, you can use an inspirational quote, a name, or some other simple shapes. These projects will let you practice cutting HTV and using a heat press or a household iron.
Greeting cards happen to be one of the most favorite handmade things among beginners. A cutting machine can help in creating paper designs with details and personalize each card with flair.
Simple paper flowers are beautiful and very easy to make for beginners. You can use them in home decor, parties, or even to embellish other craft projects.
You can make personalized mugs using adhesive vinyl or sublimation designs quite easily. This is a very simple, fun project, and it makes a great gift.
Simple projects get you confident with your cutter while you make things you can be proud of. Once comfortable, experiment with multi-layer designs and complex patterns in a mix of materials. Remember, every expert was once a beginner, so have fun, make mistakes, and keep creating!
