Must Haves For Cricut Beginners

Purple Star emoji 18 items
These are some of the things that I think are great to purchase and try when you first start with your Cricut. You don't NEED any of them, but the tools in particular should definitely come in handy. 

Some of the links below are affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and end up making a purchase on the other company's site, we get a small percentage of the cost of the item, but this is at no extra cost to you.
