I have some cricut tips! You may have already figured these out, but I love helping people learn how to use their cricut better. -When using a new material, always do a small test cut to see what setting you need. Then you can tweak the settings by doing more pressure, having it cut the design twice, etc. I have found that a small star inside a small circle is good for a test cut to make sure it can handle fine details. -On the cricut you can change the color of the design so on the make it screen it's not black on black. If you're using multiple colors in your project, it will also automatically split it into different mats for each color. -The blue mat you used is light grip. For felt I would use the green regular mat or the pink fabric mat. For cardboard I would use the purple strong grip mat.
Oh and yes I do have a cricut, I love to make stencils with it and use for glass etching, and also make shirts & totes etc with my art. And baby onesies for baby showers. Also I loved the sewing machine ornament the best, it was so creative!!!
Hi Karen Please do more of this Christmas diy and diy crafts My parents just brought circuit for family Christmas gift It’s gonna be as hobbies I’d appreciate if you could do more please. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Glad you're back. I use my cricket to make YOUR Harry Potter Xmas ornaments. LOL So easy! Make more circuit videos. You have a way of doing/explaining that makes it easy!
Hi Karen! It's so good to see you back. You're one of my favorite crafters. It's hard to pick a favorite project, I love them all. Btw, I also love your puzzle channel as well.
So much to say! The pallets could be made of super-thin composite wood material. I have an ornament of a micro sewing kit made with a walnut shell with toothpicks for needles, topped with tiny beads - so you can go micro with the knitting ornament as well. The sewing machine could be given a hard texture like plastic, simply by letting the felt absorb school glue and hanging it to dry on a skewer over a container (you could keep the fabric and thread elements of it soft, by adding them afterwards). If I had a cut-printer like that, I'd make ornaments for face masks--ideal for halloween! I have a steam-punk mask with cogs on my current in-process craft pile right now that uses woodcuts from a woodcut printer(I went and rented the printer to make them) right now. Yay for DIY halloween! You could even create little kids toys to give out instead of candy on there!
Woah! I had ust recently realized I hadn't seen a video from you in a while, but I didn't realize it had been that long! Welcome back! As a knitter and crocheter I love the yarn ball ornament! I actually bought a couple similar ones from a Christmas craft show a few years ago, but I thin kthey were just made with styrofoam balls. Yours are so much nicer! And my cat destroyed one of mine. I might need to make one of these!
I just discovered your CZcams today. I saw one of your videos of color theory in my Graphic Design classes and then saw a video from Rhett qnd Link where I swear it was you that got your hair done by them so I went on a mission to find out if that was you and found your channel! I've watched a few videos and they are cool. :)
Love these😍 At this point I've seen so many cricut related videos that I'll practically be able to use it like a pro..... the only thing I need now is a Cricut that I absolutely can't afford 😢
I'm back! I hope you like these DIYs and I'd love to know which one was your favorite!
It's just not a proper Christmas without a festive video from you
I love the yarn ball but I'm a crocheter not a knitter.... I'd have to replace the needles with a hook 😁
Love the sewing machine ornament!
That one is perfect for you!
YAY you're back! i was just looking at your channel last week and thought you were never coming back. thanks for these videos.
I'll have another video out soon about what I've been up to for the last year!
I swear by this point I could do an entire Karen Kavett tree, I’ve made so many of your ornaments!
I love that! And I'd love to see them all together if you do it!
I never knew I needed a Cricket machine & Cricket ironing machine until watching these 2 videos lol

Love all.of them. I have one but it is in a box. My favorite is the sewing machine.
Love the paint palette. I can't afford the cricket
Missed you!
These were all great! Glad you're back 😁
These were really cute! I don’t have a Cricut anymore as I use a different machine.

Welcome back!!!
I just found your channel and I’m glad to see you’re still making videos!
for the paint brushes you should remove from the metal at the top and then cut to desired length, then glue back in and have a finished end.
I tried to wiggle the metal part off, but it was pretty securely glued in there. But if you can manage it, that's a great idea.

Do it! Let me know how it goes!
This seems way easier to watch than actually do.

Wow, that video I did with Rhett and Link is a major throwback!
