This was the most eye-opening video to put together, I couldn't believe these success stories! I interviewed two women who started incredible businesses using cricuts in creative ways, they also market and sell in totally different locations. Both of them were able to support themselves and their families in ways they couldn't have imagined just by using their creativity and one machine started it all: the Cricut!

Here's the biggest piece of wisdom I would like to impart to all of you:
I previously thought of a Cricut as a crafty indulgence, when I interviewed these women and realized it was an investment in a business and a small one if you really think about it, my views shifted. This is something you could start-up on the side and it could help pay for part of your rent or your school and keep growing as you go, you can build a legitimate business. These women changed the way I looked at it completely, now more than ever we need to take things into our own hands!
I hope this video is helpful, please ask any questions you have in the comments below! Please share this video with friends and family so they can also see all the ways people are creating businesses and using their Cricut.
Here are some great resources Tali found very helpful, this below is from her directly.
Love this blog post from Auntie Tay about how to ensure your Etsy sales are legal and not infringing on any copyright.

This is a great place to ask for help and to get some free SVG files. There's no stupid questions and people are always eager to assist others!

If I have an image, such as Clip Art, that I want to make into an SVG cut file, I use this site to convert the PNG to an SVG. I then use the free Inkscape to open the design on my computer. If you are extra tech-savvy, you can use Inkscape to make edits and customize the design further, but it's not necessary.

I just love that at Ashley's lowest point when she couldn't even leave the house, her husband encouraged and supported her and convinced her that she could do it. Way to go!
It sure makes a difference when you have someone believing in you.
I totally felt that when she said it too! I’ve been that low myself. It’s a very low place especially with a new baby and other littles who depend on you. Diving into something that makes you feel good definitely helps! Having someone to have your back, makes even more of all the difference in the world on top of all that!
Me too this is my current situation my husband is telling me you got this and I’m just procrastinating but this video did something to me 💚
That’s how it should be in a marriage, supporting each other
I love that too!! My boyfriend encourages me all the time and it is my own self doubt that kills me. If it wasn't for his continous support and encouragement I wouldn't even be starting the process to open my own etsy shop. No matter what fears I have I know he will rally up the troops to help me get my first sales which I am sure will encourage me to continue onward!
I lost my son to suicide and thought I was going die in sorrow. I got a cricut machine and started doing glitter tumblers to remind me of the beauty that is still around me. Helped me so much!!
That's great news Joy! Keep creating and blessing us with your Gifts!
❤❤❤
you're so loved!
So so sorry for your loss!! It's great that you've been able to find some joy!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Joy, and pleased that you have managed to find an outlet to help you. Bless You!
Love this!! I started a random Etsy business (that I totally didn’t think would do anything) but now both my husband and I run full time… and by full time I mean 5 or 6 hours a day (m-f) and the company makes triple digits also. Praise God that he put this into our life as it has given us time and freedom you don’t get working a regular job. Way to go Ladies!
Can I ask what you did? Was this with a Cricut as well?
@@Lacroix999 no it wasn’t with a cricut. I make hand dyed ribbons
Hi I started a business and do well in my city but I tried to sign up for Etsy and have no luck
@@SWilliams-01 Who would ever think there is such a need for such a thing! Good for you! I hope your business keeps blowing up! That's amazing!! I'm inspired!

I love that they shared that a Cricut machine can put money into the household. I am working from home due to having cancer and was recently told that I am in remission. WOOT WOOT! I love working from home but would love to make my Cricut made money so I can stay home all the time. I am having trouble getting started. Help. I have supplies and I am ready to get going.
what do you need help with?
I love your video and it has inspired me to finally open my Cricut Explorer. I lost my husband, lost income and feel depressed. He was my biggest supporter. I have always been a person who love creating things to make others happy. I love Love. But now dealing with Cancer again without him has torn me down. I have faith (not to offend anyone) but I need a new purpose to help with my life. Kids are grown and own their own and doing well but this is for me and my independence. I thank God I came across your video. Keep up the great work.
Digitizing images to .SVG files is one business by itself. Selling vinyl separate for another product, such as window decals. Vinyls for businesses to brand shirts and hats is cheaper for them than embroidery.
Kitschy kitchen container labels; sugar, flour, granola, just in a envelope and let the buyer apply at home.
do you have any tips for selling .svg files? Anything people should be aware of before they start?
Great ideas!!!
Great feedback
Thank you for posting this Orly. I’m literally in tears watching this. I am also in depression and have been thinking of starting a business. I felt such worthlessness and hopelessness and this has really helped to light a fire under me.
I am sorry I couldn't help skipping your message, have You consider selling Your extra stuff in Poshmark? , is fun. I se d You best wishes 🙂
Don’t feel worthless or hopeless. Creating and being crafty definitely pulled me out of a deep depression ❤️ -Ashlee
Follow Ashlee’s lead. She 100% attributes this machine and this business for taking her out of hers.
you keep that light going and good luck!
I’ve felt the same & then this just popped up on my feed snd reminded me ~keep going!! You can do this!! ❤️
I use silhouette cameo's and have been dabbling with them for years. I always made shirts for friends and family and posted a shirt on my Facebook for the women's march. That weekend it was shared 30k times and made 6 figures! It can happen to anyone!
Awesome! I'm trying to decide between the cricut and the silhouette..any suggestions- pros/ cons?
@@ItsMeSadeNYC I prefer silhouette because the design software is offline and doesn’t need internet access. If you upgrade to business software it’s a one time fee.
I have a silhouette too. I bought it last April. I mainly use it to make my own stickers. I love it so much! I really want to figure a way to bring in some income for my family.
@@theresastouder2172 same
I’m so proud of women! This is just show we don’t give up. Keep strong. I just got my Cricut maker, I’m already a seamstress, I got a cricut was my husband motivated me, he said you can save time cutting fabric. I had surgery and as soon as get better. I need to make my dreams come true!
I have the biggest cricut, the heat press, and materials that came in a bundle deal and I have NEVER used it. It has sat literally for almost 2 years now and not been touched. I have been in such a funk of depression. I lost my dad in 2020 and he was my best friend. I have a background in embroidery and clothing decoration. This is inspiring me to dust it off and learn to get it going! Thank you!
What should everyone take from this is that this applies to everything! Take it from me........I do a completely different thing and I am a 1 person "business" as well working from my living room........and I reached a very "good" income. The sky is the limit. You don't need cricut to reach it!!!!!!! Believe in yourself and what you are good at. With all my honesty I am telling you this 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Yessss!!
Great advice and motivation! Much love. Stay safe, stay blessed.
Thank you! That's what I want to change about my life, I need to stop trying to copy what made others successful and create my own path instead
@@unicornishcornish And you will succeed as well! It will be hard in the beginning and you'll think "this is pointless" but push through. Like everything else......it will need time to grow. "Raise" your business like you raise your children........with loads of love, passion and perseverance and after a while it will give back. DO NOT GIVE UP! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
🙏🏾🙌🏾
This video is soooooo helpful! So happy for both women you interviewed❤Their stories are so inspring! Thank you all for sharing🙂
WOW! Thank you so much for doing this video! I’ve always wanted a cricut and thought too expensive for my personal crafting. Never thought about taking my ideas to a grander scale, but I bet people would love to buy my original unique ideas. This was so motivational!! ❤️
I don't watch UA-cam for fun - usually only for learning new art techniques. I just bought a Cricut on a really great deal and saw your video on my suggestions. As someone who has struggled and who is now once again reinventing herself, I was so inspired by the women you chose to interview, You have a gift and these women really left me feeling like I can take charge and find my place without being in a job that will drain me constantly. TYVM!!!!
BEST. FRICKIN’. VIDEO. EVER.Thank you soooo much for doing these interviews and sharing their real stories. So inspiring. The links are appreciated more than I can express. Thank you Orly and these two beautiful-souls.
Love that you shared the two ladies on here and how you can do so many different things. I started using my cricut this year to make shirts for sports games cause I wasn’t really liking the ones they offered. We even made about 10 tie-dye shirts that we gave away this year. Looking forward to growing with cricut as this is my 3rd machine. Can’t wait to see what you come up with to share with us, Orly!!🙌❤️❤️
What an eye-opener! I thought the same...Cricut is an indulgence. Now, I know better! To top it off, this gizmo really opens the crafting world up for those who thought they had no skills. Thank you, for sharing your stories, Ashlee, and Tali!! Thank you, Orly, for interviewing these lovely ladies!! Your ideas...your content...always clever, inspiring, and motivating! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
Yes crafting definitely helps with mental wellness and self care. Kudos to everyone. Thank you for posting.
Wow!! This was phenomenal and extremely thought provoking. I’ve been praying about what to do for a job/side hustle and I have a great crafting background. Thank you so much for putting this out there!! Bless you and the two amazing women who shared their businesses with us!!
Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this!! I have a cricut maker and love it, but the whole business side makes me anxious. I love that you shared two totally different approaches! ❤️
What an encouraging and exciting video this is, and YOUR HEART is so sweet!!!! Thank you ALL of you for this gift. I will be watching for more from all 3 of you!
I really enjoyed this episode. Ashley’s story really resinates with me! This so encouraging and love that she had great support system
Good luck to these 2 ladies on their journey. This was an awesome video. Very inspiring! Thanks for this eye opener. Your videos are great. Stay blessed!!!
Wow! This was wonderfully inspirational!!!! Thank you for posting. I am a 74 yr old crafting grandma and my grandson gave me an idea to turn something I've been making for 30 years into a product that could be sold AND be better looking because a circuit machine could do printing and cutting. HA :-) I can't wait to buy the machine and surprise everyone for Valentines day. I, too, am great at being at home & a bit computer shy with zip-nadda marketing skills. You, these 2 lovely young ladies and reading the comments, have inspired me to start the New year 2022 with a new attitude and possible successful new career. Thank you so much and Blessings to everyone!!
Great video my wife loves working with her circuit gives her life and enjoyment I love it, I’m trying to support her as much as I can and this video was very inspirational thank you 🙏🏽❤️
Congratulations ladies, Orly this is maybe my 3rd time maybe watching your videos and this one definitely has made a big difference on how I use my cricut. Thank you ladies for that wonderful inspiration
You and the ladies are absolutely amazing and inspiring. I currently have a small business and a Etsy store. You all have inspired me and gave me that fire in my belly. Speaking it in to existence I will be my own boss by this time in 2022.
I ❤️ THIS VIDEO! Thanks so much for sharing! The first interview really has me excited to stop playing with my Cricut and actually use it to start a business! That has always been a dream of mine but I never really pursued it. NOW, I’m all in! I can’t wait!
These stories really touched me! I’m a new mom & my fiancé works full time I don’t get help at all besides when he’s home. We bought our first circuit machine to start creating & selling. The fact that so many of us can relate & achieve big things is so empowering. Thank you ladies!! :)
Hi Orly! I just stumbled upon your site, and I'm soooooo glad I did. Thank YOU for your insight and following through on your desire to SHARE WITH THE REST OF US. You really help uplift the spirit (especially now with too many things trying to bring us all down). Now I'm looking forward to viewing your other videos as well. God Bless!
Thank you so much for this!! I'vr been so overwhelme this past couple of months with starting my Cricut small business and this video just motivated me and puts me at ease that you can actually start small and succeed without even having to have an online shop and deal with the business technicalities right off the bat. I always wondered if someone gas been able to sell just using Instagram because working a corporate job, I don't have much time for the store set up and everything that comes along with it. This video answered my question and put me at ease. Thanks so much!
I loved this Orly, such great information and appreciate you taking the time to bring this concept as a side hustle or legit business to our attention.
Oh thanks for watching!
I love this. I started using the 6' Cricut machine over 16 years ago to scrapbook to save money on stickers. I have an Expression machine and I now have a Maker. I have been making party banners and other crafts for years. I was a teacher for 20 years, but the pandemic made me realize it was time to do something different. I am a real estate agent and the market can be volitile so I plan to start my business making gifts that agents give to clients and open house guests as gifts.
I still have my original Cricut from 2007…and it still works! I purchased the Maker this past Spring. I have loved using my Cricuts for years and have wanted to start a side hustle to help supplement our household income. Thanks for posting this video!
I love this video so much and needed this inspiration! Thank you sooo much for sharing. I would love to see more content like this! Extremely helpful and motivational! ❤️
I’m so thankful to come to this page, it’s really inspiring me to follow my heart. I’m currently a RN working on a Med-Surg /Covid unit and a single mom of 3 children. I’m really getting burned out with bedside nursing and I just need a break from healthcare. I’m trying to find a side hustle to give me a breath of fresh air! I will definitely be purchasing a Cricut this weekend 🙌🏽 New subbie❤️
This was so informational that I can't stopping thinking of all I learned thank you ladies so much!!!
Orly! This was such an inspirational video! I so enjoy watching you create, but this was awesome knowledge too. Thank you!
I have a Cricut and I never thought of starting a business. I am like in tears because I was trying to find a side hustle I could do that I enjoy. Thank you so much for this video, it was God sent!
This has come at the best time for me. I need to add to my income and I have a business but don't know how to start it up. You have motivated me in sewing and now in business plan. I will get it moving do my research to get me that extra income. Thank You Orly you help all of us in so many ways. Keep up your amazing content!!
This is such a lovely comment! Thank you!
Amazing video, just love that you are all so giving and genuine! You are amazing and inspiring 💝
Hi! I literally just bought a Cricut Explore Air 2 today from Target (Black Friday deal $169.00 + you receive a $30.00 Target Gift Card to use on any other purchase) and am not even sure how to turn the machine on. Thought I was being ridiculous for making this impromptu purchase…until just now! Whew! Now I’m super excited to learn all about it and make some exciting creations as a side gig or 🤔 ??? How wonderful of these two ladies to share their journey! Thank you!
I am so impressed with your supportive attitude; it is heartening to see the enthusiasm you share in other people's success. Kudos.
Dynamite video🤞🏽💗 thank you for getting this together🙌🏽✨
This is an amazing and informative video. Thank you very much and to the two ladies who shared their stories.
I really enjoyed watching this video. This has me pumped. LET"S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Thank you to all the ladies... this video is truly inspiring.
Thanks Orly! Such an awesome topic - we all need this to encourage us to go for it! Love you and your bubbly energy Orls🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤!!!!
I love your point about not thinking of your Cricut as a crafty indulgence! I bought one over a year ago and have always thought of it as a fun toy. I really hope to find a way to incorporate it into something more than that. Thanks for this video!
Hi Orly, thank you soooo much for this video! I have two circuts that I use for tumbler making and I never thought to use them to cut out fabric for my handbags. That’s such an awesome idea! These two women are so inspirational thank you to them for sharing their stories with us and thank you again Orly for interviewing them! 😊💜
They really are amazing. Thank you for watching. ❤️❤️
Great video. Very inspiring. Thanks for making and posting it. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
OMG this is super inspiring, currently working unsociable hours in a place where i could soon be made redundant. I've put off buying a cricut for years. After this i think i may finally take the plunge and do this on the side and see what happens. Fab video, super helpful! xx
Excellent video! Just inspiring stories from both women. Thanks for going beyond your normal creativity which I love to encourage others to try something new.
Thank you & the two ladies for sharing this! So helpful.
Ashley is my formal coworker and her husband was our supervisor. I'm so happy for her success.
Thank you for posting this! I've been crafty for as long as I can remember. I crochet just about anything, make all sorts of DIY projects, and even do nails. I've sold things here and there and people love the things I make.
I just got a cricut! And this video has really given me hope! Maybe with my artistic and crafty abilities, I can have something to be proud of one day. Something successful💗
I love this! Her husband is amazing for being so supportive.
Thank you for this video it's so inspiring 💗 💖 for last 2 years im stuck and trying to figure out what I should do as a small home business to be as my hobby but also good enough for people to like it and earn something while doing it .due to my disabilities I can't work outside of my home this video is definitely uplifting 😊 and inspiring !
This is so encouraging, I am so grateful that you made this video.
Thank you for sharing this! Wow a wealth of info & encouragement!
This was spectacularly inspiring! Thank you to everyone who participated ❤️
I💓u!! This video was more than helpful!! Time to start to see what creativity can do!! This has been a big inspiration for me. I didn't know where to begin and now I know. Thx
So dang inspired!!!! I've been pondering using my machine for business, and now I see it's realistic and possible. Thanks for this amazing video.
I don't know why but this video made me tear up. I'm in the middle of contemplating on how I should move forward with my small business and have also been doubting myself lately :( I wouldn't say I'm depressed but just a bit discouraged that my business is nowhere near as successful as I hoped it would be. The stories of these women definitely inspired me and encouraged me to not be disheartened but to keep moving forward. I will be investing in my own Cricut machine soon even if I start small and will go from there. Thank you so much for this video! I'm excited about what's in store for me! :)
I started a business last November with a cricut and since then use other machines too. I made $500 in my first month as well. Eben though every month is different and I've had some hard months since covid hit, I've kept going and it's pulled me out of my depression. I'm not doing near that well yet. But I plan to get there ❤ just one foot in front of the other.
That's amazing! How's things been since you posted this 10 months ago? I hope only growing 💗
Wowww!! I really needed to see this! Awesome guys!! 💪🏽💪🏽
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! Been a voracious consumer of all things Orly since I found you over a year ago!! I’m a nurse who is unable to work at the moment (anxiety and depression is crippling)!! I bought my cricut after your first video, and I really do feel a spark of energy and hope that I CAN do this! Love all your content, but I’m super interested in the cricut ones at the moment ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
I’m so happy to hear this. Have some fun!!
Thank you,ORLY for this information. It's really useful.
Thank you so much for this amazing and actionable information delivered in such an intelligent and concise manner.
I never thought cricut could be the base for a business!
Stay safe and blessed my new friend!
This was Awesome!!! I love doing DIY! I’ve often thought about buying a Cricut but I didn’t know what to use it for other then cut outs?? I’d love to learn. You are so amazing & inspiring! I love your videos!! You made me take a second look at some of my clothes instead of giving them away! Thank you for sharing and giving out fashion savvy tips!
Thank you! This was so eye opening!
Great help! Thank you for this great video ⚘
This video inspired me to think of new ways to use my cricut. I am HERE for this content.
Orly
Thanks so much for this segment on how you can turn your circuit into a business. (If you would only take it out of the box). I’ve had mine for about a year and a-half. I never even open the box to look at it. Because, I’m afraid of technology. Learning to text and how to go on UA-cam and Instagram is a great achievement for me. I do everything the old fashion way like your frist guess said.
I’m pulling it out of the box tomorrow morning. Thank you for this PUSH. Your #1FAN❤️
Wow I am so relieved that I am not the only one 😔
This was so helpful and encouraging! I bought a Cricut Maker a few months ago and have been toying around with the idea of selling. Thank you all for sharing!
This is a great video Orly! My aunt and uncle couldn't find an embroidery business that would do small orders, like 12 caps for their kid's softball team. So they bought a really nice embroidery machine, set up an Etsy shop, and started doing small orders. That was probably 10 years ago and now they have 6 or 7 machines and it is a full time business. One key that wasn't mentioned is having super clear descriptions of what you can and can't do (designs, shipping, etc) and great communication/customer service. You can have a lovely product but if you misrepresent the size or the colors or don't include language that covers shipping (because you can't be responsible for how long USPS takes) you'll have a lot of headaches.
Awesome information and lots of great tips for a successful business. Thank you!!
Thanks for doing this video! I bought a cricut recently and have been a little nervous to use it, even though I know how I want use to use it. This was very inspiring and just the motivation I need. Thank you,
fantastic! love this video! thanks for sharing and congrats to the entrepreneurs! i bought my cricut last week and i'm obsessed with it!
Wow, this was a beautiful video. When the first lady said, her goal was for her husband to quit his job, I got choked up at how amazing that must feel to take care of her family
Thank you wonderful ladies! This was such an inspiring video!
Great video!! I just got a cricut for Christmas and never used it before but I’m so excited to start and make something great of it !
OMG... this is so freaking encouraging! I’m a silhouette and yudu girl but I’m going to buy a cricket since I have 2 cricut heat presses. Thanks for sharing!!!🤩🤩🤩
cricut heat press?? what are the heating dimensions and temperature of machine?? Thanx? Stay safe, stay blessed.
Thank you so much for this. I have been wanting to get started but have been intimidated. I feel so motivated now!!
Amazing, makes me learn how to use my Cricut. I bought one and some supplies and want to really learn how to use it but haven’t had the time. But this video of how you can make money using it really motivates me. Thanks for interviewing the people and how the made money using it. THANKS!
This was so helpful for me. I’m looking to expand what I’m doing. Thank you!
Yes, yes, yes!! So motivated. Thank you for sharing this info!
Wow..my respect and love for u is increasing with every video..n this video was such an eye opener..love you for sharin this with us
I literally was surprised today by my husband with a cricut. I hadn’t even been asking for one but I thought about getting one a couple years ago and just never did. NOW, this video popped up 😳 I AM SO EXCITED!!!! 💝💝🙌 meant to be xoxo
Am new to YT and bought myself a cricut last Christmas as a gift to me not realizing how I can and have it do work for me - this was an awesome video and excellent info thank you! 🙏🏻
I needed to see this because I’m just about to embark on my own Etsy art and miscellany business and I’m praying that it works for my own mental health. I need an income, but working is becoming so difficult for me, health wise. This gives me hope, thank you so much.
I have had my cricut since Christmas of last year and have made a few different things. I am at the point now where I am officially starting to sell my own products. I love it and am so excited about the possibilities!
Hey what kind of products do you make and sell
Keep going
Orly you are a rockstar to us all💗😊💗🤩❤️🌈 This is an awesome video to share!! All you ladies are amazing!!
So awesome … I’m definitely looking into this as a side hustle 💜. Thank you for sharing ✨💜✨
This was a real eye opener!! I have seen those machines, but never thought of using them for a business. These ladies are amazing! They reminded me of a song called "Women Are Doing It For Themselves" by Annie Lenox and Aretha Franklin. Congrats to them!!!
This is awesome and such encouraging information!! ❤❤💖😃
I was not expecting that.. Thank you for doing this video.. its really inspiring!!!
Damn. Really makes you think about your time and talents and just effort. Thank you for this video. I get discouraged at times for not hitting my goals. But need to just keep going. This whole video gave me goosebumps and tears. The love with Ashley and her hubby is so evident!
This was amazing! You helped me make my mind up about getting the new machine ❤️🙌🏼.
Thank you so much for the testimonies. It gave me a new perspective.
