There are many projects a crafter can make with a cricut machine to sell and make money. Mugs, custom t-shirts, magnets, earrings and much more.
If you are a crafter of course it is possible to boost your intentions and bring them to the market! Above all, try to choose projects that you like to do, because if the time comes when you have to do several projects to earn that extra money it will be like a hobby.
Certainly for selling projects it is also a good point to think about the material available. If you are new to this don’t invest in new tools, instead use what you have there! Any cricut cutting machine will work for making a lot of different projects. Look at some of the most common questions about cricut projects to sell!
Is better to sell in person or to open an online store?
It really depends on the time available. Selling in person may be easier if customers are close to you, for example if you decide to sell projects at work, school or friends. On the other hand, setting up an online store on Etsy, for example, requires dealing with shipping, which will be an additional cost.
Create small projects or elaborate projects?
Certainly, small projects like stickers for T-shirts or cups and magnets can be sold at a lower price than elaborated projects like posters or paper boxes for example. But prices can vary depending on quantities. Above all, small projects are faster and selling them in large quantities will be similar to selling a couple of elaborate projects. Again, it will depend on the time available.
Is it a good idea to customize?
Of course it is! Customization gives projects that customer touch and they love it. Above all, to get into the world of customization you have to be comfortable using design programs like Cricut Design Space. To clarify, that’s not a big problem since cricut design space is very intuitive and learning how to use its functions is not that difficult.
