Hey, are you wondering about the possibilities for Cricut Maker wood projects? Look no further than this guide. In this post, I will show you some of the best wood projects with Cricut Maker. Well, I have created several wooden crafts and enjoyed making them. Be it home decor or useful projects, I created all of them. But why did I choose wood for Cricut projects? Well, I was fed up with making crafts with other materials, so I chose wood this time.
There will be lots of exciting projects, such as alphabet puzzles, coasters, front door signs, and much more. Sounds amazing! No? So, get your Cricut and set it up if required! Then head to the following Cricut wood project ideas to try this year! Let’s delve into it!
1. Alphabet Puzzle
Explore the endless possibilities with your Cricut Maker machine that can cut wood in less than a minute. This is one of the best Cricut Maker wood projects every crafter must try. However, I made this for my 3-year-old daughter. I found wood safer for children, so I chose one to make for her. Make sure your wood is not more than the recommended thickness. Otherwise, it can be difficult for you to cut it on Maker.
2. Coasters
Finally, we need something very useful that everyone might like. Here you go – a wooden coaster with a personalized touch. Yes, you can give it a personalized touch just by adding the first letter of your loved one’s name. I made this using Cricut Maker and balsa wood. You can get balsa wood from many e-commerce websites. Afterward, show your artistic skills on these coasters.
3. Bookmark
How about this wooden bookmark? I know you might wonder whether you have seen these wooden bookmarks before or not! Well, there was a time when I was unaware that I could make something like this using wood. Yes, but it was really great when I made this on my Cricut Maker. This engraving is just amazing and will grab everyone’s attention! Just give it a thought; I hope you will love it!
4. Pencil and Phone Holder
Want a desk organizer on your office desk? Create this pencil holder that can also keep your phone. The process is easier than you think. All you need to do is create a design on Cricut Design Space and let your Cricut Maker cut its shape. I really love creating such wooden organizers that I can keep on my home office desk. You can make it for yourself and your loved ones. You just need to be a little creative. I made an elephant, you can try another animal, too! Good luck!
5. DIY Earrings
Finally, here’s one of my favorite Cricut Maker wood projects I have ever created! This looks simple, and making it is also superbly easier than I thought. Doesn’t it look wonderful? If yes, give it a try, and you can gift it to someone you love. However, I made two pairs of wooden earrings. One for my mom and another one for myself. The process of making them was really fun.
6. Picture Puzzle
Do you wonder how to make this picture puzzle? Well, I made this using a chipboard. However, you can make this picture puzzle using the basswood or make its top player from the veneer. With veneer, you can give it a framed-like structure. So, what’s in your mind? Are you going to give it a try? If yes, solving this play with children would be very exciting.
7. Closet Dividers
Tired of your messed-up closet? I think you just need a divider that keeps everything in their order. I made this myself using a chipboard, which is durable and lighter in weight. Also, I kept the design very simple so anyone can make it in less time. Try this today and keep your closet well organized. I made a total of 6 dividers like this. Some of them are in my mom’s closet, and others are in my closet.
8. Supplies Organizer
Finally, here is something for Cricut itself. Being a crater, I understand how tedious it is to keep all the tools and materials in place. Hence, I came up with a solution: try this wooden organizer that keeps your Cricut tools in order and is easily accessible to you. Be it scissors, weeding tools, or other items, you can put all of them with this simple Cricut supplies holder.
9. Front Door Sign
Create this inspiring ‘Home Sweet Home’ sign board for the front door. You can use it for your front door. By the way, it is also made using wood, but I used heat transfer vinyl to make it look beautiful. The unique font gives a unique look. I don’t think creating it in your Design Space is a big deal, as there is only text. Must give thought to such Cricut Maker wood projects.
