I love giving handmade gifts! One of my favorite things about handmade gift giving is that it makes it easy to personalize the gift for each person on your gift list– whether that means it has the person’s name or initials on it, it has to do with their favorite hobby, or it’s made in their favorite colors!
The Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore Air 2 make handmade gift giving so easy! I usually use my Cricut at least once a week, but during this time of year I have it running pretty much daily!
With 30,000+ image options in Cricut Access, plus their wide assortment of colors and patterns of vinyl, iron-on, paper, fabric and more, creating a one of a kind gift that’s perfectly customized for the recipient is easy!
I’m a busy mama, and the holidays are a super busy time, so when I can find a handmade gift idea that takes less than an hour to make, I’m sold!
I know that you are super busy too, and always on the lookout for awesome Cricut craft ideas, so today I’m sharing with you 30+ of my favorite Cricut gift ideas that take 1 hour or less to make! Read on!
