Cricut Tutorials
Got a Cricut machine and not sure how to use it? No problem!
These Cricut tutorials for beginners will take you through all the steps to start making beautiful papercraft projects with your machine.
The Cricut help guides on this page currently come in video format only. My team and I are in the process of creating additional written versions and hope to have them finished by the end of April 2025.
If you’re looking for specific crafts to make rather than general machine and Design Space tutorials, check out this huge collection of Cricut project ideas instead.
Still need help with your Cricut? Get in touch and we’ll try our best to help. 🥰
