Put your Cricut into max mode this fall and get ready for the holiday season with personalized gifts for everyone on your list! I’m sharing a list of ideas of items I’ve made with my Cricut Maker, but since most are vinyl or cardstock in nature, they can also easily be done on my Cricut Explore Air 2.

First before we get into the actual projects, let’s talk vinyl and which material is best for most surfaces:

  • Heat Transfer Vinyl – Also known as HTV or iron on vinyl is best used for fabric surfaces, like making t-shirts, hats, socks or other wearable pieces. BUT you can also use heat transfer vinyl on painted wood signs or painted canvas, as adhesive vinyl tends to peel off these surfaces more easily! The adhesive element needs to be heated with an iron or heat press in order to be secured to it’s surface.
    • Tip: DON’T forget to set your cut to “mirror” before cutting as it needs to be weeded on the reverse side of where it sticks.
    • I typically use Siser brand vinyl, which I buy in rolls at Michaels when it’s only sale for $9.99 OR I get sheets of it from Expressions Vinyl. I buy sheets so that I have an assortment of colors for all the little layered vinyl designs I might create. (I believe that first link gets you a $5 off coupon for signing up into their rewards program!)
  • Adhesive vinyl – This comes in both permanent and temporary and has an adhesive surface to stick to whatever you’re applying it to.
    • You need transfer tape and a scraper to adhere this to surface. I like the scraper tool in the Cricut basic tools pack and just recently added the large scraper to my tool collection!
    • Permanent Outdoor Vinyl – Adhesive vinyl also comes in different strengths and base materials, with Oracal 651 Permanent outdoor vinyl being one that I use often for my outdoor pieces, such as my daughter’s boogie boards and the car decals I’ve made.

Now onto the personalized gift inspiration!
