Description

The ultimate Cricut how-to book that covers everything you need to know to purchase a Cricut and use it like a pro! Are you new to Cricut crafting? Returning after a hiatus and desperate for a refresher? Perhaps you're an old pro looking for brand-new ideas, tips, and tricks for your crafts? Look no further than The Unofficial Book of Cricut Crafts. Throughout the more than 300 pages of this book, author Crystal Allen will not only present you with craft ideas that embrace every awesome element of this popular cutting machine, but, perhaps most importantly, she'll start you at the very beginning of your Cricut journey with loads of information about the different Cricut machines (Cricut Explore Air 2, Cricut Maker, and Cricut Joy) so you can determine which is best for you before you buy. After you unbox your Cricut and have a general understanding of the parts of your machine, Crystal will teach you how to use Cricut Design Space and get images from Cricut Access, and then you'll be presented with projects that use the most popular materials your Cricut can cut. These include fabric (cotton, felt, and fleece); basswood and chipboard; leather; vinyl; paper; and heat transfer vinyl. Crystal even tackles infusible ink! Projects meant to inspire you will include step-by-step instructions and photos.

  • GREAT resource!
This book is well-written, well-organized and provided an excellent starting point for two people who knew nothing about their Cricut Maker. We've gone through a lot of the introductory and explanatory materials and feel like it's making more sense to us. One of our problems had been not having an overall sense of how it works. This book walks us through so many of the tools and actions and, while we will undoubtedly need to go back and review from time to time, the big picture is much clearer. We are working our way through the projects and the first we tried was easy and rewarding. Then, we got to the second one we chose and we hit a snag. We went back to it -- several times -- and couldn't get unstuck. Now, here's where it gets cool. We had subscribed to the author's mailing list and so... I wrote to her. Gave her the page number and where we were stumped. In about an hour, she had responded and made two suggestions, one of which was the key that unlocked our mysterious barrier. Way cool. Now we're not only a fan of the book but will follow her blog/website/facebook/instagram. Not just a very good book -- but an entry into a wider array of ideas and inspirations. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Great for Beginners!
I pre-ordered this book because I have searched Amazon and could not seem to find a legit Cricut how-to book. Everything had mostly bad reviews and were e-books (i.e. not real published books) with misspellings galore. I was looking for something basically like a Cricut For Dummies (cricut for dummies doesn't seem to exist (yet!)). This book is fantastic! I am very pleased with my purchase. She breaks down Design Space and how to use the different tools. She talks about the different materials and how to make different projects with them. She has a starter project so you can bling out your machine with a pretty decal, along with 39 other projects, step-by-step, with pictures, from what materials you need, to how to set up Design Space for that project, how to cut the material, and how to apply the material. Projects included are for Cricut Explore Air 2, Cricut Maker, and yes, even Cricut Joy! I personally only have the Explore, so the Maker projects are basically useless to me, but those of you who have the Maker will love these projects! The only thing that was a disappointment for me was this book does not include how to make the pretty sparkly tumblers. But that aside, I'm very excited to try some of the projects in this book! Beginners and Experts alike will really love this book! Buy it! You won't be disappointed! ... show more

  • A Well-Done (And Useful) Book
I've had my Maker for about a month and I've done quite a lot with it so far. The e-books I've found online are pretty basic, amateur and not very However I thought I would take a chance on this book. I've had the book for a couple of days and I've learned a number of useful things already from the book. There is a useful tutorial on Design Space. The rest of the book is broken out by section on materials and techniques, such as fabric, vinyl, wood, leather, etc. The most fun was the section on unusual materials, which included how to engrave bracelets. The book has been worth the investment. I do like the printed page better than an e-book. And there are lots of photographs. And it looks professionally done, compared to the many e-books I've seen. ... show more

  • BUY this today: Best Cricut Book Out There
I previewed this book from a friend and I didn't want to return it as page after page it's everything I need for using my Cricut Maker! Good for other models too! I've looked through other Cricut books but this is top notch. Author said first printing sold out but Amazon received more books soon after. During Covid19 isolation, this book takes the place of no-longer-held class at a craft store. ... show more
