Craft Storage Cabinets

I never dreamed I would need so much stuff to use my Cricut, but then again, maybe that is just me. I have a few large Craft Storage Cabinets. The bigger the better!

If you have very little space, maybe a wall mounted desk will work well. This one folds into the wall and when folded up leaves ample room to move around it. It does store a few small things, but not the Cricut Machine.

The Cricut Maker is a wonderful machine. It can tackle all materials including thin wood, like balsa wood and even cutting cloth for sewing. There are so many materials this wonderful machine can cut. I own this machine and it's all I ever need.

The Cricut Maker 3 is an advanced machine with can produce longer creations than the others. It still cuts material just like the Maker, but a notch up.

The Cricut Venture is more like an industrial machine. It can tackle much bigger projects than the Maker and Maker 3. If you are creating large items, like wall decals, this is the machine you will need. Don't forget the special table that goes with ...

The new Cricut Venture works perfectly with this stand. It will hold the machine in the correct position to create those big projects. You can use the Cricut Venture without the stand, but it will be more difficult.

Cricut Autopress is a great tool. It automatically does the work for you. No more holding down the Easypress on the material, it's all done for you. This heat press automatically releases the project when the time is up. So easy!

This is a table top ironing board for your heat press. There are 2 different sizes to choose from. I use these along with a Teflon sheet to make the heat spread easier. I love my Cricut Easypress.

When you use your Cricut Easy Press you will want to cover you project to put a protective lay between the iron and the materials…just incase the vinyl melts. I would hate to clean that off my iron. It also helps distribute the heat better. I never u...

This isn't a Cricut tool, but it my favorite tool set to use with my Cricut projects. I find that the tweezers are much stronger than the Cricut brand and I love many of the other tools for weeding as well. The price is great too.

VLR is used for heat press images. Sometimes we make a mistake and want to take the vinyl off the shirt or whatever. This is the stuff to make the vinyl release so you can start again. It's a must have.

When it comes to vinyl I use with my Cricut machine I always turn to Oracal vinyl for both regular vinyl and iron on. It is the best and worth the few cents more you may have to pay. My aggravation level is worth the price. Using this vinyl is a deli...
