This week, we are back with more ideas and inspiration to get you making! Sometimes all you need is an idea or a theme to help spark ideas for your own crafty makes. So join us every day on Instagram Stories for #MonthofMakes!
Some of week 2’s prompts have been Dinosaurs, Plants, Banner and Make to Give and we have loved seeing the Cricut community get involved! Search the hashtag #MonthofMakes on Instagram to see all the amazing makes our Cricut Community have created so far.
If you didn’t catch #MonthofMakes Roundup Part 1, you can find it on the blog for more project-making inspiration!
Here is a roundup of this week’s #MonthofMakes themes:
Day 9: Sports
From personalising activewear to water bottles, there are lots of ways your Cricut Machine can help! Eimear from @EimearHutchinson on Instagram used SportFlex Iron-on to personalise a swimming costume!
Eimear made a tutorial for her project which you can see as a video Reel on Instagram.
Project includes image from Design Space #M26A1BA05.
Cricut Community makes for the theme: Sports
To give more ideas for this theme, we have taken a look at our wonderful community’s makes.
Cards are perfect for all occasions! Maysiebug on Instagram made a card to celebrate a sporting win!
Day 10: Plants
Real or paper – plants are always a good idea! You could personalise your plant pots and watering cans like the proud plant parent you are! Or, if you’re not great at keeping plants alive, why not make a plant out of paper?

Jude from Judemakesthings on Instagram shows a way to create an everlasting plant – with paper!
We saw lots of great ideas like these paper succulents by Alex from Alex_in_Wonderland_X on Instagram.
Day 11: Dinosaurs
Ready for some roar-some makes? Dinosaurs are great for cardmaking, home décor, party décor and more! We created this beautiful wall art which you can make too!

The Cricut Machines are a great way to personalise any project with your favourite animal (or animals!). Sophia from MyNotSoSecretTeachingLife on Instagram created a beautiful giraffe pillow with Infusible Inks!

Create your own bunting for all occasions! It could be for the home, for parties or create your own Cricut themed banner like Fiona from Katy_lou_designs on Instagram.
Day 14: Make to Give
Handmade gifts are thoughtful and always appreciated! Personalisation can help to make beautiful and unique gifts that are greatly loved by the recipient!
