How Do You Make Ornaments with Cricut?
There are a LOT of options for making DIY ornaments with Cricut. I have made homemade Christmas ornaments in several ways, personally. Some of my favorite DIY ornament crafts using Cricut include:
- Felt Figurines (ie. gingerbread people, unicorns, gnomes, etc.)
- Vinyl-Decorated Items
- Stenciled Items
What Is the Easiest Way to Make Ornaments with Cricut?
One of the easiest way to make DIY ornaments is to decorate your ornament items (mini mugs, fillable ornaments, etc.) with vinyl. This can turn something super plain into an adorable Christmas ornament that you'll really treasure.
What Kind of Vinyl Do You Use for Ornaments?
You can use either permanent vinyl or heat transfer vinyl. I find that heat transfer vinyl works best on fabrics like felt or cotton. And while you can certainly use permanent vinyl on a glass ornament, I find that heat transfer vinyl is nice because, on a round ball ornament, you have to kind of work at placement - and having the option to reposition the vinyl before the adhesive sets is a nice option.
