CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEA: CELL PHONE CASE

April 29, 2019 by Paula W

The hunt is on for the perfect Mother’s Day gift! After all, Mom means so much to us and we want to show her. But what to get? Well, we may not have tons of money to spend on gifts but we can definitely make something handmade. And what’s one thing that pretty much everyone has? A cell phone! So why not make mom this super cute cell phone case – it’s the perfect Cricut Mother’s Day Gift Idea.

Most basic phone cases are around $5 so if you’re on a really budget, we’ve got you covered. A phone case, a scrap of vinyl, a cute design, and your die cutting machine and you are all set to go! Now, let’s get started on this super simple tutorial.

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEA: CELL PHONE CASE

What mom wouldn’t love to show the world that her kids think she’s the best mom ever? We just love this design, but if it’s not quite the right one for your mom, be sure to check out the rest of our amazing Mother’s Day cut file collection.

  • Phone Case
  • Cricut Machine
  • Pink Vinyl
  • Transfer Paper
  • Weeding Tool Set
  • Scraper Tool
  • Best Mom Ever Cut File
  1. Size your design to fit your phone case and cut it with your Cricut.
  2. Once your design is cut, weed it and add transfer paper to it. Burnish the transfer paper to the vinyl to make sure it’s on there very well.
  3. Line it up on your phone case and starting from one end, apply it down carefully. Make sure the vinyl has well adhered to the case. Again, you might want to use a scraper tool to burnish it down really well.
  4. Carefully peel up the transfer paper and there you have it!

It’s getting close to Mother’s Day! Are you ready? This fun DIY gift idea is a really easy and inexpensive one if you’re still looking for ideas. This Cricut Mother’s Day Quote Art is a gift that any mom would love.

We just love how cute and colorful this design is. It would brighten up any room your mom decides to display it in. Or, you could surprise her by creating a little mantel or shelf display with this pretty quote art, a vase of flowers, and other colorful items (a stack of books? a little statue of a bird? Just grab what you have on hand in your home!). A few buttons strewn around would finish the look.

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY QUOTE ART

You can make a Mother’s Day quote art project using a design from our fonts or the Mother’s Day cut file collection here on Makers Gonna Learn. We have lots of ideas to choose from!

  • Cricut Machine
  • Weeding Tool Set
  • Cricut Iron-On
  • Buttons in Various Sizes and Colors
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • Cricut EasyPress Mat (or a towel if you don’t have the mat)
  1. Measure and cut the quote with your Cricut so that it fits well on the canvas.
  2. Preheat your EasyPress to 340 degrees, and weed your design once the Cricut is done cutting.
  3. Lay your Cricut EasyPress Mat down or use a towel. Lay the canvas down and align your design where you want it to go.
  4. Heat the first area for 30 seconds while applying pressure. Repeat the process until the entire design has adhered.
  5. Carefully peel off the transfer sheet when the design has completely cooled.
  6. Grab your hot glue gun and glue your buttons along the canvas any way you like.
Sweet Mother’s Day Quote Art

We love the way this project turned out. You can personalize it any way you like. You could even paint the canvas if you like before applying the vinyl. Your mom is sure to enjoy this DIY gift made with love.

DIY CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEA – #1 MOM HAT

April 29, 2019 by Paula W


If you’re looking for the ideal Mother’s Day gift for your mom, the search is over. This DIY Cricut Mother’s Day Gift Idea – #1 Mom Hat is super cute and really inexpensive to make. All we needed to make this was a $3 hat from Walmart, some iron-on material, and your die cutting machine. The “#1 MOM” cut file came from our membership site, Makers Gonne Learn. We’ve got hundreds of cut files and fonts with new ones being added every month. You’re sure to find the inspiration for your next craft project! Check out the tutorial for how to create this fun hat for your mom below.

#1 Mom Hat - A Great Mother’s Day Gift
  • Cricut Maker
  • Cricut Easy Press
  • Cricut EasyPress Mat
  • Weeding Tool Set
  • White Hat
  • Black Iron-On
  • Gold Glitter Iron-On
  1. Size the design to make sure it will fit your hat well. Then use your die cutting machine to cut out the sized design.
  2. Preheat your EasyPress to 340 degrees and weed your design once it’s done being cut.
  3. Lay your hat down on the EasyPress Mat and align your design where you want it to go.
  4. Heat the hat for 30 seconds while applying pressure. A hat is an odd surface to use with the EasyPress but it’s not as hard as you might think.
  5. Once it has completely cooled slowly remove the transfer sheet and there you have a fun and simple Mother’s Day hat!

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY T-SHIRT

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and we think that a perfect gift idea is this Cricut Mother’s Day T-Shirt. I predict that any mom who receives this cute t-shirt for Mother’s Day will be wearing it all the time from then on. In fact, they might ask you to make a second one when the first wears out!

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love tee shirts. I’ve got at least 25 of them but I love them so much and don’t think you can ever have too many. They are so comfortable and cozy! Scroll down and have fun learning how to make this awesome shirt for your mom!

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY T-SHIRT

This is so simple to make and barely takes any time at all. You can easily whip this up in the morning and give to Mom in the afternoon!

  • Cricut Maker or Explore
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • Cricut EasyPress Mat
  • Iron-On
  • Weeding Tool Set

  • Mommin Ain’t Easy cut file from Makers Gonna Learn
DIY Tee Shirt for Mom
  1. Measure your shirt so you can make your quote the perfect size. Once you have inserted your design into your Cricut Design Space canvas, size it and then hit Make It. Place your HTV on your cutting mat and load it into your machine. Your Cricut does most of the work for you!
  2. Preheat your EasyPress to 340 degrees. While it heats up, weed around your quote. We like to weed right on the mat.
  3. Lay your shirt on the EasyPress Mat and heat the shirt for 30 seconds while applying pressure. Repeat the process until the whole quote has been adhered.
  4. Once the design has cooled completely slowly peel off the transfer sheet to reveal the beautiful shirt.

This is the easiest Mother’s Day gift idea ever. Everyone could use another t-shirt and your Cricut machine makes it so easy to make it!

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT: THROW PILLOW

April 29, 2019 by Paula W

Sometimes it can be really difficult to find just the perfect DIY gift idea for your mom for Mother’s Day. With Mom’s big day right around the corner, we decided to get into the craft room and start working on something she would love. This throw pillow is a a Cricut Mother’s Day Gift Idea sure to be a hit with pretty much any mom.

Cricut DIY Mother's Day Gift Idea

CRICUT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT: THROW PILLOW

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

This home décor project is a fun idea to add a touch of color and whimsy to a home. This adorable pillow is the ideal gift to make for any mom that’s a “triple scoop of awesome”.

To make this craft project, we used Cricut Patterned Iron-On, regular Iron-On, and Foil Iron-On. The mix of the three different types of iron-on really adds that special something to this project and takes it to the next level.

View Below | View on Youtube

Supplies:

  • Cricut Patterned Iron-On
  • Light-Grip Mat
  • Cricut EasyPress Mat
  • Weeding Tool Set
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • Cricut Maker
  • Black Iron-On
  • Foil Iron-On
  • Pillow
Cricut DIY Mother's Day Gift Idea

Instructions:

1. We used a design from Cricut Design Space. If you’re not using this file, be sure NOT to allow any layering of the Patterned Iron-on. You can easily slice out the design and just have them line up together instead of layering like we did.

We’ve got an amazing Mother’s Day cut file collection right here on Makers Gonna Learn if you’d like to look for a different design.

2. Cut your Iron-on and place it on the mat. Follow the instructions on the Cricut and Design Space. Be sure to mirror all of your images!

3. After your Cricut has cut all of the layers, weed around all of the designs.

4. Line your images up on your pillow to make sure everything fits.

5. Now follow the heating instructions for each of the different Iron-On materials. You can find a reference guide for your EasyPress on Cricut.com.

  1. Be sure to remove the transfer sheet after each layer, but lay it back to protect the material from the Easypress. After heating the last one, remove all the transfer sheets. It’s really that easy to create an awesome Mother’s Day gift idea.

Don’t you just love this project? I love how out of the box it is for Mother’s Day. It didn’t take very long to create and a big step that saved time was purchasing a pillow pre-stuffed. The look of this Patterned Iron-On is hands down my favorite. I hope you enjoyed learning how to make your own great homemade gift for Mom.
