Cricut Explore Air™ 2 machine

I recently received one of these and I have NO idea how I lived without it for as long as I did. If you aren’t familiar with this AMAZING device you may be asking what does it do and why does the crafter in my life need one?

The Cricut Express air 2 is about the same size as a standard printer but does SO much more. It can cut a wide range of materials from vinyl to chipboard to leather. I have already tested the limits of my machine and can confidently say it handles small intricate cuts extremely well.

You can make T-shirts using iron-on vinyl or decorate wine glasses. You can cut out gift cards from scrapbook paper or make leather earrings! You can use the vinyl as a stencil to paint designs on wood or you can apply the vinyl directly to the project! Below is an example of a sign I made for my Etsy shop!

The Cricut Explore Air™ Machine + EVERYTHING Starter Set is a great deal because it includes EVERYTHING you need to get started. If your loved one loves to sew definitely look into the Cricut Maker which allows you to cut unbonded fabric. So if you want to get them their gift of the year THIS is what you need to get the crafter in your life!

Prismacolor Sets

I have loved Prismacolor since my middle school art class, now as an adult creator and crafter it is my favorite brand of art supplies! I will warn you that they are a bit more pricy than their competitors, but they also have the best quality hands down. If you are looking for a gift in a certain budget you can always buy a smaller pack, I guarantee any crafter or artsy friend would be delighted to receive any of the amazing sets they offer.

Colorful Supply Sets

Most Crafters are suckers for supplies in EVERY shade of the rainbow. It probably started early with those gel pen sets in 100 different colors and by now they’ve graduated to glitter, embossing powder sharpies and SO much more!

A Crafter’s supply Gift Basket

There are a few items crafters use a lot of and use them often, so stock up their supply area with gifts they are guaranteed to use! The best part is you can make this gift fit ANY budget and they can recycle the crate to store their crafting goodies later on!

A Sewing Machine

This item has been on my own wish list for YEARS. The thing about crafters is we often like to design from the ground up and while you CAN hand sew it is tedious and often yields less perfect results than you can make with a sewing machine. So if your crafter has ever shown an interest in sewing this is the PERFECT gift for them.

Crafting Storage Solutions

Most Crafter’s I know dream about the day they can have their own crafting room, however for most that just isn’t an option. So we set up shop wherever we can! However working in limited or different areas can make it a hassle to know where everything is, be organized, and have what you need an arm length away.

Personally I’ve always dreamed of owning the The WorkBox 3.0 by the Original ScrapBox but the price has kept me from it. If you can afford it it is DEFINITELY the way to go (and I’m not even affiliated with them but it is THAT awesome).

Some other awesome (and much more affordable) crafting storage solutions are below and are sure to make your DIYer a happy camper!

Hopefully you found a perfect gift (or two) for the DIYer you love!
