Cricut Projects for Homemade Gifts


Cricut Projects for Home Gifts

cricket machine Makes it easy to add a personal touch to a handmade gift. For me, the highlight of the holidays are handmade gifts.

I love giving things that have an element of homework or a personal touch. Take each additional step to say, "I've thought enough of you to add my time to this hand."

Every year at Christmas, my children give each other homemade gifts. This shifts the focus from the gifts they want to receive to the gifts they want to give. It's such a beautiful part of the Christmas season that I just adore.

Buy cricket for the holidays or buy in advance and prepare something for the holidays!
