It’s a magical time when you first take your Cricut machine out of the box, set it up and try to decide what you want to make first! There are so many images and project ideas around, and as a result, it can be overwhelming to choose. We have rounded up six beginner Cricut project ideas that are ready-to-make projects and can be made with any machine. These are perfect for a first project and offer a range of making types to guide you in.
