What Projects Can I Make With The Cricut Maker?

Are you looking into buying a Cricut Maker but first want to know what sort of projects you can make with it?

The real question when speaking about the Cricut Maker is what can you not make? Seriously, the Cricut Maker is Cricut's premier crafting machine for a reason.
The Cricut Maker can do everything the Explore Air machines can do and soo much more. The Cricut maker was designed with 10x times the cutting power and a special ability to control the direction of their special adaptive tool allowing the Maker to work with up to 300 materials.

In addition to a Fine point blade the Cricut maker comes with a Rotary blade (which you use to cut fabrics, felt, and delicate materials like crepe paper) Shortly after the Maker's launch, Cricut released the Knife Blade which is used to cut materials like leather, Basswood, Balsa Wood, Heavy Chipboard and Wood Veneer.
Since then Cricut has come out with a series of quickly changeable adaptive tools including A Scoring Wheel, Double Scoring Wheel, Engraving tip, Debossing tip, Perforation Blade, and Wavy Blade. These new adaptive tools opened up whole new possibilities for projects you can do with the Maker.

The good news is, that the Maker uses the same design space as the Explore Air and Joy machines. So you won't have to learn anything new to start making epically fun projects. If you get Cricut Access there are several pre-designed projects, designs, and fonts you can use. The beauty of Cricut is that you can also use your own designs or the designs from crafty bloggers like me.
If you need some inspiration for what to make once you get your Cricut Maker, then check out these fun projects below from some of my favorite Cricut bloggers.
