This is the last thing I bought, too.
I bought an antique industrial bread pan that someone had ālive laugh lovedā up, I keep meaning to strip that off but it hasnāt made it to the top of my list yet.
Last night my wife was cutting out pieces of fake leather that she will glue together to make earrings. She is also working on something for Christmas gifts for her coworkers but Iām not sure what. I think she made coasters last year.
I actually refuse to āallowā that stuff in our house. Weāre white trash enough without the explicit advertising.

Whatās a cricut?
Itās an electric cutting machine. You can cut paper, cardboard, fabric, leather, vinyl, foil, woodā¦so many materials, I donāt even know all of them. You use an app to design it, then you have various accessories to cut. People use it to cut out designs for iron-on shirts or mugs, or make fun cards, itās really an incredible product.

I see. Could you make a shirt with one? Or a pair of pants something like that?
I suppose you could probably cut fabric to make clothing, but the width is limited so it would be a ton of piecing, and it wouldnāt be the most time efficient or economical. Smaller items could definitely be managed, like cutting out pieces to make a stuffed animal. Masks were a popular template early in the pandemic. Stuff like that.
I use mine to cut quilting pieces. People who make tshirts or something with it will create the design with Cricut on vinyl and iron that onto an already-made shirt. Other popular items Iāve seen are decals, cards, wall art, mugs, coasters, leather keychainsā¦

Thanks for the suggestion. In the end, I found some boot cut jeans at Torrid that I like and some straight leg jeans at Lane Bryant that Iām wearing now and are the best jeans Iāve ever had. My pants size is a 16 tall, so understanding where I need to shop is huge.

I have one of these and I love it. Iām afraid that itās wearing out though and the thought of doing dishes by hand is really not something I want.
