Starting a profitable cricket business
With the abundance of things you can craft, there are many options for making profitable Cricut items. Some of the most profitable Cricut projects include:
- clothing
- glassware
- sticker
- Wedding and home decoration
- baby gift
Before you start crafting with the intention of selling, you’ll want to consider the following to make sure you’re making the most money possible with your machine.
What is trendy?
Ask yourself what is currently a trendy item people are shopping for. A good hack is to look for Instagram hashtags #cricut or #cricutmade. See what’s popping up under the trending tags to get a sense of what people are loving right now
Years ago, you would see wooden signs everywhere with cute quotes. These days, Starbucks Cups have taken the cricket world by storm.
Find a niche
You have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. While many people jump on board with the Cricut trend, you can still profit from finding your own little Cricut corner. Or it could mean you only make products for a specific group, like movie buffs or sports enthusiasts (just be aware of copyright laws!).
Be sure to read thoroughly Crete Angel Policy, which spells out its terms of use and commercial license agreements. For example, you cannot make or sell Disney, Hello Kitty and other themed products.
Great niche to work on anything wedding and baby-related. Guess what… they’re both going nowhere! You can even get specific within that niche, such as creating only wedding invitations or gender-revealing party decorations.
Ask yourself what you want to be known for. When someone needs it, they’ll think of you first! And when you specialize in something, you make better quality products, which benefits everyone.
Calculate how long it takes
using a Crete Many are supposed to craft faster. While this is certainly true for most products, you don’t want to sell an item for under $10 if it took you an hour to make! This includes how long it takes to create and upload the design as well as printing.
You have to choose the items to make and sell with Cricut based on the time frame of each item.
Is it customizable?
What’s stopping a customer from buying a t-shirt from you rather than a big retailer like Amazon (where the product is likely to be cheaper)?
One of the greatest assets Cricut vendors have is the ability to quickly create customizable pieces. Try including some customizable pieces in your inventory and they will sell like hotcakes.
Profit index
Along with timing, you want to make sure the product is cheap enough to start with. For example, if you’re making t-shirts, you’ll need to buy blank shirts before adding them. Then you need to make sure that the markup makes sense for the product after you add the vinyl and will generate enough profit to warrant your time.

Cost of transportation by ship
Some things will be easier to ship than others. Users often expect free or heavily discounted shipping. Offering free or cheap shipping is also one of the best ways to stand out on Etsy because users won’t want to pay more than the advertised price.
Try to keep the shipping cost as low as possible. For example, something like vinyl decals will cost nothing to ship compared to your heavy wine glass.

You have a few options for designing the fabric. Cricut can cut the fabric itself, or you can choose to embellish blanks like t-shirts or baseball caps.
