If you own a Cricut machine then continue reading to learn how to make money in no time, but if you need more information on just what a Cricut is and What you can do then check out this post Everything You Need to Know About Cricut Cutting Machines and their capabilities here.
First let’s start with the Top 8 most popular projects made with the Cricut that are selling now.
Top 8 Products made with the Cricut that Sell
- Earrings

The thing that will most certainly make you more sells is personalizing any of these things! You can easily do this in advance or on the fly at a craft fair too (if you have electricity in your booth).
That said, “Just how much can you make and what is the profit?” is the next questions I often get. Let’s take a look at each project for a breakdown to answer those questions. Of course each one will differ depending on what materials you select on your own.

When possible, I purchase all my materials when they are on sale and I have the Access Premium Subscription (learn more about Access here), which saves me 20% on most materials. I will use cost less 10% to be conservative on the Cricut products.
I am not including the cost of the Cricut Machines used. This is an investment that will be used for all the Top 10 products and will vary depending on machines used and prices paid. On average, you can look at investing approximately $600 – $1,000 with Cricut to get the cutting machine, press, mats, and tools needed for these projects. I am not including a labor rate either in these figures.

Abbie Kirsten does a really good job of showing you how to use infusible ink on T-shirts. Check out her post!
Using HTV or Infusible ink will result in some really cute shirts. For long lasting shirts, I recommend using Infusible Ink because the ink is permanently fused to the fabric and not just sitting on top of it like HTV. Wtih Infusible Ink you must use a high Polyester count (preferably 100% for best results) otherwise your image will fade over time.
