Best Of 2021: Cricut

December 22, 2021 · In: Crafting

Here are the most popular Cricut projects, tips, tutorials, and educational posts from Lela Burris of Organized-ish in 2021.

This is my fourth year working with Cricut as an ambassador and I have really become more confident as a teacher and leader when it comes to Cricut machines and materials this year. I am constantly making my own organization labels, DIY organizers, and fun crafts during my off-time, along with sharing all the tips and hacks I’ve learned along the way. Here are the most popular, most pinned, and most visited Cricut posts of the year.

1. Unboxing The New Cricut Maker 3

This summer was HUGE for Cricut fans, because two new machines came out at the same time. The Maker 3 and the Explore 3. I got my hands on a Maker 3 as quickly as possible and shared the full unboxing and setup process here on the blog. Thousands of other Cricut lovers and I learned how to use this bad boy together, and we are collectively in love.

2. Vintage-Inspired Book Covers

No, those aren’t vintage books at all. I made these minimal book covers out of textured cardstock and Cricut’s Foil Transfer Kit. They make bookshelves look so much less cluttered, and you can customize them however you’d like. I think this might be my favorite Cricut project ever, and I know it’s yours too, because it was shared over 2000 times.

3. Cricut Starter Shopping List

In March I had a whole Cricut beginner series going with posts just for newbies, and this starter shopping list was the instant favorite. I shared exactly what to buy when you’re first starting out with Cricut based on your crafting hobbies and goals. This post remains one of my most popular Cricut posts not just from this year, but from all time!

4. Best Cricut Fonts For Labels

While I do make a lot of crafts with my Cricut machines, the projects I’m making most often are labels for organizing. For two years in a row, my most popular blog post (not just Cricut, but ALL categories) is my Cricut Font Pairing Guide, so this post about the best fonts for labels is a follow-up to that one. It’s been cycling Pinterest all year and is about to catch up to the Pairing Guide’s stats.

5. Scrap Vinyl Projects & Storage

As a Cricut crafter, we end up with a lot of leftover scraps, right? I’m clearly not the only one who saves scraps for future projects, because this post with 10 ideas for using vinyl scraps was one of the most visited Cricut posts of the year. And tied with nearly the exact same amount of views is this post about how to store and organize material scraps.

Wait for the last one… 🤩 Sherry @younghousel Wait for the last one… 🤩
Sherry @younghouselove downsized quite a bit a few years ago and it proving that you CAN be organized in a small home with kids and pets. Didn’t she do an amazing job with all these spaces?
Pretty sure she was being modest with her grade prediction because I’d give her a definite A!
Which organized space of hers is your favorite? I’m in LOVE with her laundry closet! 🥰
She buys most of her organizers from Amazon and Ikea and you can tour her whole house on her blog, YouTube, and IG Story highlights. Sherry is one of my BFFs so if you aren’t already following her, do it now! Her Story content is the most entertaining part of my day. 🙌🏼
Do you pack minimally or overpack when you travel? Do you pack minimally or overpack when you travel?
I used to be that person that packed WAY more than I needed and was always overwhelmed with a messy suitcase halfway through my trip. When I started downsizing the clothes I packed to just what I needed, I spent less time picking out what to wear and cleaning up messy piles, and more time enjoying my trips.
But I’ll admit, if I could bring my whole sneaker collection with me so I’d have all the options, I totally would. 😂😂

Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to wo Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to work this well the first time I did it but now I’ll never dust baseboards any other way.
It also works well on door panels, picture frame moulding, chair rails, and even gets those hairs off back of the toilet that tend to stick and slide around when cleaning. 🙌🏼

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼
