Number of masks cut on Cricut machines:

as of December 21, 2020
Together, we make a difference.
The crafting community has come together like never before. Within the last two weeks, we’ve seen hundreds of thousands of face masks cut on Cricut machines alone. We see you making for your friends, your family, the healthcare frontline, and essential workers in your community.
So here’s our humble invitation for makers everywhere:
Let’s make 2 million masks together!
Every mask counts toward the greater goal – to beat this thing together. Because here’s something we believe: When we all make together, we make all things possible.
To help realize this goal, we’ll be donating Cricut Maker machines and fabric to over 150 makers making a difference in their community.
Share how you’re making with hashtag #makeitforward. You can also follow along on our Facebook and Instagram to see more from the community.

If you have a Cricut cutting machine, you’ll find several free face mask projects in Design Space for every skill level (including a no-sew design) – and use materials you probably already have at home, like a T-shirt.
You can cut these face mask patterns with fabric on your Cricut Maker or use your Cricut Explore machine to create a paper template.
If you’re a Cricut Explore machine owner and cutting multiple masks out of a paper template, you can tell us how many masks you’ve made.
