In the post, we will cover the easiest and simplest 6 Cricut projects you can try in 2023.

1.  Paper Cards


Do you want to appreciate someone's hard work, generosity, or help? Then try to show your feelings with Thanks a Latte Card, and this will be the best Cricut project to create this year. However, it can help make your card mat for anyone you want to send it to. The machine provides all the packages of cards with inserts and envelopes, making it easy for you to pick a design and be good to go!

We believe that making this "Thanks a Latte" sign can also be perfect for any coffee lover. For this, you just need to tuck a gift card and make it a thoughtful end-of-year gift for your teachers or as a sign of appreciation to anyone you want to appreciate.

2.  Coffee Mug


Adding design to your coffee mug is one of the simplest Cricut projects. We personally love to use coffee mugs with interesting texts and photos. Also, we consider this one of the best gifts to give someone we love. But, writing text or photos on these mugs is quite costly and time-consuming. However, you can infuse these interesting texts and pictures on your coffee mug with Cricut machines like Cricut Explore to the latest Cricut Maker 3, including Cricut Joy which can cut all the designs to apply to your mugs. With these machines, you have the freedom to make your own design as you wish.

3.  Leather Bookmarks


If you are an avid reader, then you know the importance of keeping bookmarks in your book. And making such Cricut projects is also easy for all beginners. To create these leather bookmarks, you will need an Engraving Tool to engrave the text into the piece of tooling before cutting it out with the knife blade. In addition to the engraving tool, it only works with the Maker cutting machine as it uses the Adaptive Tool System and can apply the necessary pressure to engrave the materials.

4.  Designing Pillow Cover


Now, adding design to your pillow is made easy for you. You can work with heat transfer vinyl and make DIY pillows cover as Cricut projects. However, the premade Cricut iron-on designs make it simple to create pillows, T-shirts, and more! You should also install the Cricut Design Space to create your designs and send them to your Cricut machine to get the design for your own pillow cover.

5.  Templates for Water Bottles


 

Want to make your own personalized bottles? The customized water bottle can be the favorite Cricut project for anyone. It's quite simple and easy to make projects on Cricut Maker that will give you a unique piece of personalized drinking ware. Moreover, the Cricut Premium Permanent vinyl is the perfect fit for your water bottles as it can withstand all kinds of different conditions. Also, it will last for up to three years or more. This vinyl is suitable because there is no issue with the dishwasher, making it longer to stick with your bottle.  

6.  Engraved Keychains


Keychains are also used widely as a gift. This Cricut Maker machine can help you to create keychains. To engrave your Keychains, you need to buy an engraving tool. Once you own this tool, you will have endless opportunities to create various Cricut projects with fine inscriptions. This engraving tool is capable of engraving soft metals, acrylic, leather, paper, plastic, and more. Also, the Cricut Maker and Cricut Maker 3 are only compatible with engraving. So what are you waiting for? Start making your keychains with beautiful designs that you can imagine!
