A Cricut machine is a tool that utilizes a small, movable blade to cut designs in paper. These cut-out designs can then be used to customize and design a number of different things. These customized Cricut designs can be turned into profitable side hustles by creating goods and other items.
But what exactly can you make with a Cricut that’s profitable? What sells best? What can be a great side hustle? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.

What can I make with my Cricut to make money?
Anything you create with a Cricut can be sold to make money.
That’s the great thing about owning a Cricut and having the ability to craft with it. Anything you can consistently create can be sold for a profit on the right platforms.
For example, selling T-shirts made from iron-on transfers created from a Cricut could be a moneymaker when listed on a selling platform like Etsy.
What Cricut projects sell well?
Trendy looks and designs on wearables can be the best-selling Cricut projects.
However, there are a number of Cricut projects that sell well. Such as:
- Drinkware
- Wedding and party items
- Small travel cases
- Charcuterie boards
- Gift bags and baskets
The goal is to find something trendy and sustainable. The “Thank you, enjoy” shirt in the picture below was a hot-selling wearable that could’ve been a relatively easy Cricut project.
Get creative with your designs and innovate based on what sells. Doing market research on Etsy to figure out what kind of items are selling well now is a great place to start.
Also, keep up with current trends so you can stay ahead of the curve.
Can you make a lot of money with a Cricut?
How much money you make with a Cricut depends on how well you’re able to use it. Also, the ability to replicate your handmade items consistently will determine how much you can make.
Going back to the T-shirt example, iron-on transfer designs created with a Cricut can be easily replicated. But if your handmade goods are wedding and party items, the goods you make will vary and have a higher chance of being inconsistent and more difficult.
The goal is to find something easy to craft and easy to keep consistent.
If you don’t believe me, check Etsy yourself. Here’s a link to a best-seller of a picture of a crochet stuffed dog. Sure, it doesn’t sell for much, but it’s a bestseller and it’s only a picture.
Where to sell handmade and hand-stitched items?
Etsy is the best platform for selling most handmade goods. Artists and creators can make a full-time living or side hustle from selling on Etsy.
If you own a Cricut, there are a number of different things you can craft and sell on Etsy. You’re not limited in what you can create and sell.
But a profitable side hustle formed from a Cricut will be something buyers want to purchase. Not something random you can create.
Takeaways for side hustles with a Cricut
Basically, if you have a Cricut and the right skillset, you can earn money.
Being creative and consistent with your work will determine how much you earn with your Cricut. The better you’re able to use a Cricut, the more you can make—and earn.
It could be just as easy as selling transfer paper T-shirts with a popular design. So many random handmade products sell on Etsy. You can use a Cricut and generate income with a side hustle from it while creatively expressing yourself.
