TikTok has some of the best ideas – and there are no exceptions when it comes to crafting and Cricut. Here are some of the best ideas I found on TikTok!
I really got into TikTok earlier this year.
I made fun of TikTok for the longest time and then realized how many great ideas were there!
One thing I discovered pretty quickly was that the craft community popped up there, which is AMAZING – especially my Cricut friends.
I’m always finding new tips and tricks to make Cricut crafting a little more efficient. I mean, I knew a few Cricut hacks, but some of them are just awesome.

When I first saw this, I was kind of like … ehhhh. But I can see the appeal of doing this, especially if you feel like you are losing a bit of vinyl trying to cut the vinyl to size for the mat.

I was so excited to see this one because it happened to me so often. There’s nothing more annoying when you’re creating a design and a space just happens to be filled in.

I’ve always known you could use different pens with your Cricut, but sometimes they need to be tweaked a little. Not Crayola Thin Markers – they fit exactly into the tool holder!
Get more stickers on print, then cut them out

This was specifically intended for applying vinyl to large projects, but I’ve seen several other TikTok videos showing a similar technique for smaller objects. All of this seems awesome.
Just add vinyl to tumblers

Okay, this is probably my favorite hack I’ve seen! My mind was overwhelmed when I saw it. I hate making paper flowers and that just seemed smart.

I didn’t feel like this was super awesome just because I don’t feel like this is really a problem that I have (or at least I don’t mind?). However, if you have a lot of rolled up vinyl this comes in handy!

I’ve seen this one many times, but it didn’t feel like I used it very much. However, it was one of the most popular hacks I’ve seen, so I think people love this idea. I also have about 20 weed control tools haha!

Cricut does have an XL scraper, but it’s cheaper and looks great. I will definitely do one of these next time I can get The Dollar Tree!

I like that this has a way of removing the vinyl from your little tool and then just throwing it away! Definitely a great way to use those old Lysol containers.
