Unveiling My Cricut Business Secrets: $605 in Second Month In Business!

[@deborahbrookshier7712]

Retired teacher here. "TEAM - together everyone achieves more" was the theme of one of my favorite Principals. You definitely have the teacher spirit

[@Cricuter]

Aww thank you! I actually took some teaching courses when I was getting my Bachelor's in Biology. I think I like teaching adults more than kids though 😆

[@mave.lynnnn]

i know im late, but congrats sierra! So proud of her! I wanted to personally thank you for these videos. You’re so amazing for doing these for us. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into the youtube channel. THANKS!

[@Cricuter]

I really appreciate your comment. It takes me about 6 hours of work for each video I put out. Between planning what I'm going to talk about, getting myself ready, film setup, recording, editing, making thumbnails, writing descriptions, etc. It's a lot of work but it's worth it seeing how much I'm able to help others all over the world. Comments like yours are my motivation and keep me going... so thank you, from Sierra and I!

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

With the monogram frames, how about cutting the vinyl in mirror image that way you can place them on the inside of the glass vs the outside. That way it won't need double glass and cleaning won't ruin it

[@Cricuter]

You can definitely do this. It's the technique I use when making my memorial lanterns.

[@thatbiiitchT]

Smart!!

[@Shersthm]

Are you using paper in the other side?

[@barbarazamorano60]

Thank you so much for these videos!!!! I’m a professional graphic designer and also a tattoo artist, but I’ve always wanted to start a crafting business and now thanks to you and all your amazing ideas and tips I feel confident enough to do it. My cricut arrived yesterday and I’m really excited to start using it 🤩 again, thank you so so much for sharing all of this here on youtube 💛

[@Cricuter]

Wow, you are very talented! It sounds like a Cricut is the perfect thing for you! Good luck with everything!

[@chrisfehrle4369]

I also jumped right into it and started making wood signs without setting up a wed site or anything. I had a craft show so I made 30 wood signs signs and was left with 8. I was exhausted and a little discourage. (It was Christmas time) I don’t want to move forward without setting everything up properly. Could you go through a little of your steps. I guess what I’m asking is after you establish your business name and web site, how do you go forward and fill all these orders, keep track, and SHIPPING!

I would love to see a video on your organization of your workspace. I'm new to this and would love to get ideas how to organize all of my supplies and machines.

[@Cricuter]

Ahahaha that's the one thing you probably DON'T want to see! 😆 I just moved into a new house in October and my whole craft room is such a disaster. I have 3 years worth of Cricut blanks and supplies in boxes piled high. I really need to get organized but it's such an overwhelming thought. I plan to do a video soon on getting my new craft room set up where I show you everything I've accumulated over the years being in business.

[@michelleramos-martinez5837]

@@Cricuter I understand the moving bit. Praying that things get less hectic and I can't wait for the video.

[@Cricuter]

Go for it! Coming up with designs is the easy part if you use Creative Fabrica. I just scroll through their website and get ideas. I subscribe to their All Access plan because you get an unlimited commercial license with it. You need that license to sell designs with. www.creativefabrica.com/ref/237783/ Hope that helps!

This is super helpful. I am lesrming so much. My goal is to quit my job and do this full time! Thank you. Kerp sharing please. When were you able to go full time with this? Congratulations seirra!

[@Cricuter]

Thanks, I'm glad! I think it's possible. I never went full time because right when my kids were old enough to be in school full time, Covid hit. I chose to home school them until April when I felt things were safe enough for them to go back. But due to the reduced class sizes from Covid, I could only get my 4 year old in part time preschool 2 days a week. Now I use those 2 days to film and edit my videos. And school is out for the summer June 10 so then I'll really have no time to work. We'll see what happens this coming fall. I have always been a believer that if you can dream it, you can achieve it. If something of mine didn't sell I didn't blame it on an over saturated market. I just knew that there was a different project out there that I had to find that WOULD sell. People fail by giving up. Never give up and you'll never fail 💪 and go into it knowing that it could take years to build up a big following and business.

[@Cricuter]

I totally believe in signs! Everything happens for a reason! Wine glasses are a great starter project! Make sure you use a thicker font so it has more surface area to stick to the glass better. You can achieve this by bolding the fonts. It makes it less likely to peel off over time! Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing! I appreciate your support more than you know!!! ❤

Your ideas inspire me and make me think I can actually do this cricut business thing. So - did you solely rely on those FB group/tag sale groups to sell? I'm still working on how I would go about meeting up w/ people... I don't want them coming to my house, but at the same time - I don't want to be running all over the place.

I too believe that weddings would be a great idea with the Cricut, but do you make up things on the fly & showcase them or taking special orders, with brides i cannot imagine this would always go as planned or go smoothly, but i may be wrong!~!

[@Cricuter]

I always made one sample to take pictures of and then advertised that I take custom orders. I would just make something for myself/ family/ friends first

[@joewisor736]

Great video and inspiration.. I have one question about personalized blanks. How is the fonts and style decided? Say for instance split font custom frames there are thousands of style of those, do you have a variety to choose from or is it advertised one style only? Also customized stuffed animals how do you choose what font to use?

[@Cricuter]

I don't give them additional options unless they request it. I always send a picture of the design to my customer before I make their product so they'll know exactly what it'll look like. What they see in the ad is what they get.

[@Cricuter]

And thank you!!

I never made monogrammed coasters. I had monogrammed wall art. Maybe that's what you saw?

[@tabithatierney6512]

How much is a commercial license? How do you get one?

[@Cricuter]

It's not as simple as just buying one license. You need one for every font or design you use. You have to read the description when you download a font or SVG to see if it comes with a commercial license. Usually free ones are "for personal use only." I subscribe to Creative Fabrica for $29/ month because I get unlimited access to everything on their website and it all comes with the commercial license. www.creativefabrica.com/ref/237783/

I love this idea. How did you make it.

[@Cricuter]

Thank you! Which project are you referring to? I think I had several in this video

[@danixx1027]

How did you create the SVG for the frame redo project?

[@Cricuter]

It's kind of complicated but first I remove the background in an app called remove.bg. Then put that picture into an app called Adobe Capture and play around with the settings until it looks right for an SVG. Then I save that and upload it into a paint program and touch it up more. Then I upload it into design space. It takes quite a while and photoshopping to get the designs to look good.

[@seleniarios2316]

What printer do u have

[@diamondboutique5795]

I have a cricut joy What can make with it to sell

[@Cricuter]

You can make just about anything with a Cricut Joy, it just cuts smaller. With the Explore Air 2 and the Maker models it cuts on 12" mats. The Joy uses a 6" mat. You could put vinyl on wine glasses, beer mugs, stuffed animals, onesies, shirts, and more. As long as it fits on your mat.
