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.

Thanksgiving Wood Signs | spotofteadesigns.com

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 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!

Personalized gifts made with Cricut - car decal | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Car Decals – I used Oracal permanent vinyl to create car decals for my parents brewery and my friend’s macaron business for their cars! Should I make one for myself and my blog?
Rainbow Birthday Party - personalized ice pop holders | Spotofteadesigns.com
  • Ice Pop Holders – I made them as party favors for the girls’ rainbow birthday party two years ago and mine still put them into play every time they take out an ice pop in summer.
Personalized gifts made with Cricut - water bottle | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Water bottles – Whether it’s bottles for sports purposes, like these Igloo brand 1 quart coolers my girls used for soccer and softball season, or smaller ones for school, you can personalize them with waterproof outdoor vinyl!
Kids artwork and paperwork storage boxes | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Storage Tub – This isn’t necessarily a gift but I guess it could be! These are the storage tubs I use to store the girls’ memorabilia, printed school items that are important, school pictures, sports pictures, certificates and other childhood paperwork.

100 Days of School T-shirt - 100 days brighter complete with free SVG file | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Paint your own t-shirts – In addition to creating fun t-shirts using heat transfer vinyl, you can also create stencils using freezer paper that kids can paint themselves! See how in this post featuring this 100 days of school t-shirt craft Brielle did in the 1st grade!
Personalized gift ideas you can make with your cricut - door mat | spotofteadesigns.com
  • Personalized welcome mat – I’ve used the same freezer paper stencil method shown above to make a few doormats for my home. Tip: apply the paint using an up and down motion, don’t go left to right, to lessen chances of bleeding.
