Did you know that your Cricut can do more than just make fun DIY projects for your family and friends? It can actually make you money – if you know what to create. In fact, some of the top selling products on Etsy are made with a Cricut machine. To help you on your entrepreneurial journey, I’m going to share 21 of the best selling Cricut projects on Etsy.
21 Best Selling Cricut Projects on Etsy
1. Customized Wine Glasses
Wine glasses are always a popular product on Etsy, especially when they’re customizable. You can allow customers to personalize their glasses, or you can just offer glasses with fun sayings on them.
All you need are some wine glasses, Cricut vinyl and some quotes or designs to add to your glasses.
I highly recommend using stemless, unbreakable glasses to minimize the risk of damage and breakage during shipment.
Makers Gonna Learn has a great tutorial that walks you through every step of making your custom glasses. All that’s left to do is list them on Etsy and wait for your first sale!

2. T-Shirts
One of the top selling products of all time on Etsy is t-shirts. While many sellers use print on demand services to sell their shirts, you can cut out the middleman and use your Cricut to make your own.
You’ll need some vinyl, blank t-shirts and designs.
Because the shirts market is a little saturated, I recommend doing some research with a tool like Alura or Erank to find niches that have high demand and low competition (like shirts for nurses or teachers, for example).
3. Doormat
Doormats may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of products to sell on Etsy, but it’s actually a hot item on the site.
And with a little patience, you can make and sell doormats in your own shop.
To make these, you’ll need your Cricut machine to make a stencil on vinyl. You’ll then use outdoor acrylic paint with your stencil to make your mat. Easy!
You can offer personalized designs or just create funny sayings that everyone will love.
4. Baby Onesies
Without a doubt, baby onesies are one of the best selling Cricut projects on Etsy. Every new parent wants to dress their little ones in something cute or sassy.
The design possibilities are endless. You can add silly sayings, sweet quotes or offer personalization options.
All you need is some creativity, onesies and heat transfer vinyl.
5. Personalized Etched Cutting Board
Personalized cutting boards are the perfect product to sell on Etsy, and you’ll have no issues finding customers.
The key is to offer personalization. Customers will want to buy these as gifts for birthdays, weddings, house warmings and other special occasions.
The great news is that etched cutting boards are easy to make with your Cricut. You’ll need some transfer tape, adhesive vinyl, amour etch and a glass cutting board.
Glitter and Graze walks you through every step of this project, so you can start crafting and selling ASAP.
6. Cake Toppers
Party supplies are another hot category on Etsy, and cake toppers are among the best sellers. They’re easy to make with a Cricut machine, and there are countless design possibilities.
You can offer the option to create custom cake toppers, or you can offer:
- Fun designs for each year with different sayings (i.e., “Dirty 30”).
- Generic “Happy Birthday” or “Happy Anniversary” toppers made with pretty fonts and colorful paper.
You’ll need vinyl for this craft, along with a few other basic supplies. Makers Gonna Learn has a great tutorial that will guide you through every step.
7. Kitchen Towels
Kitchen and tea towels are popular with Etsy buyers, especially themed designs and funny quotes. If you can make a t-shirt design with Cricut, then you can create and sell kitchen towels.

People love flower pots, so why not cash in on the craze? Create cute sayings or designs that they can either put on their own pots or sell entire pots with the design. For example, make a smiley face on the pot so that it looks happy every day.
You can also add funny sayings, such as “soiled myself.”
10. Custom Tumblers
Custom tumblers only require a simple iron on vinyl and a little brainstorming on the design or sayings. You can source tumblers online for decent prices, and then start making your vinyls with your Cricut.
But, the setup is a little complex, which the Pin above explains.
You’ll need heat-resistant tape and the right approach to transfer your designs to the tumbler.
11. Wedding Welcome Signs
Weddings are the one time when couples will splurge on decor that has to be perfect. You can dominate this type of niche with wedding signage.
The idea is simple:

You can buy your keychain blanks on Amazon (here and here). Wristlets are great options for anyone with an active lifestyle and are something to consider selling, too.

Turn your tote bags into a business. You can buy packs of 15 for less than two dollars each, and then you just need to create your sayings. Iron on vinyl is your go-to material for these totes, which you can add a ton of sayings to, such as:
- Everything but the kitchen sink
- Don’t laugh, but I think I forgot something
- Emotional baggage
With the right sayings, these totes will practically sell themselves.
17. Homemade Cards
Sometimes, cards just all feel the same. You might find one or two that are different, but they lack the personality that is you. Well, people are using the lack of creative and unique cards to go out and make their own.
It’s simple.
Write down a few sayings and make cards out of them. If you want to make even more sales, allow the buyer to customize them and just offer more or less a “template” that you can adjust the meet the buyer’s needs.
18. Koozies
Koozies are a great option, especially during warmer months when you’re sitting by the pool or having a BBQ. Slip them over your can and keep your favorite drink cold.
And now, you can customize your Koozie with an iron-on vinyl.
The hardest part?
Figuring out what to say. A few ideas to help you brainstorm the perfect sayings or quotes for your Koozies are:
