40+ Festive Cricut Christmas Crafts To Make In 2024

If there’s ever a time of year when my Cricut gets a lot of use, it’s Christmas time! These easy Cricut Christmas crafts will give you plenty of new ways to put your Cricut machine to use over the holiday season, with Cricut Christmas decorations, gift ideas and more!

I love my Cricut Joy and while it’s the smallest of the Cricut machines, there are so many Cricut Joy projects you can make despite the small size. Some of these projects do require a larger Cricut machine, such as a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore or even a Silhouette machine, but you’re sure to find loads of inspiration to make sure your machine isn’t collecting dust during December!

Cricut Essentials

Before you kick off your Cricut crafts for Christmas, make sure you’ve got your Cricut essentials sorted! These are my Cricut Joy essentials that make projects much easier! Have the latest version of Cricut Design Space downloaded. I use both the desktop and iPad apps to create.

If you haven’t checked it out, Cricut Access membership is well worth considering too. You can start with a free trial. It includes over 30,000 image files, projects and fonts to use in your projects. I use it often!
