Crafting Custom Holiday Tags With CriCut Mini #DIY

The Cricut Mini recently found a home in my craft area and I've been busy exploring this incredible gadget while beginning to wonder how I ever managed without it.  Thought I'm still new to this tool and have barely scratched the surface of it's capabilities, I am certainly loving it!

This week I needed some tags for a few baskets I'm putting together and rather than racing out to the store to grab some, or snipping away with my scissors, I simply directed the Cricut Mini to cut the shapes and sizes I needed to construct:




In a few minutes, the cuts were finished and I simply peeled them off the cutting mat, assembled, grabbed a silver Painters pen for embellishment and some glue.


A couple minutes later, I had four tags ready to go.  After writing a personal message on the back, a hole punch and a slip of ribbon is all I need to attach them to the bags.  (If I had thought to do so, I could have easily programmed the Cricut Mini to cut the ribbon hole for me... but as I said, still new to this clever gadget and learning the ropes!) 


My next project will be to make personalized keepsake ornaments for my family. I have a super simple design in mind that will still have a nice "wow" factor.  Stay tuned, I'll be sharing the results soon...
