22 Beginner Cricut Explore Ideas

You just got your very own Cricut Explore and you’re ready to start creating! It’s so exciting isn’t it? I bet you’re anxiously looking for all kinds of craft projects that you can make with it. Well, we’re sharing 22 fantastic beginner Cricut Explore project ideas to help you get started.

These are absolutely perfect craft ideas for those just starting out with the Cricut Explore. I just love how easy it is now to make my own custom greeting cards, 3D projects, and home décor. I’ve made quite a few stenciling projects in the past and often wasn’t able to get those nice clean, crisp lines I really wanted. Well, with the Cricut Explore, now I can!
