Did you know that your Cricut can actually make you money? Every day, customers on Etsy buy handmade crafts created by everyday people like you with a few supplies and a Cricut. Creating the right products is the key to success. To help you succeed, I’m going to share 15+ Cricut Maker projects to sell on Etsy and start profiting.
15+ Best Cricut Maker Projects To Sell On Etsy
1. Cake Toppers
With more than 1,000 listings on Etsy, cake toppers are a popular product. The best part? It doesn’t take much to make these. You just need the right font, some clever words and pretty paper.
I recommend stocking up on glitter cardstock and regular cardstock for these.
The cake topper niche is popular, so I recommend looking for a subniche to focus on (like graduation parties, retirement, etc.).
SVG Nation has a great tutorial on how to make toppers here:
2. Stamps
With a little help from your Cricut, you can make adorable stamps that customers will love. It’s easier than you think to make this project.
You’ll need just a few things:
- Craft foam sheets
- Deep point blade
- Vinyl
- Wood blanks
- Masking tape
- Strong grip mat
- Adhesive roller
Of course, you’ll need some fun designs, too. Seasonal stamps are always popular, but do some research on Etsy to see what types of designs are best sellers.
3. Custom Magnets
Personalized products are always great sellers on Etsy, and magnets are a small, easy-to-ship product that you’ll love making.
You could offer magnets for businesses to give out as promotional items, or help everyday customers make meaningful gifts and preserve their memories.
For this project, you need magnetic sheets. Create a few template designs that customers can personalize, and get to work. Just print out the magnet design on your inkjet printer and use your Cricut Maker to make perfect cuts.
This is such a simple project, and many Etsy shop owners are selling magnets for $3–$11+ each.
4. Cards and Envelopes
Paper and stationery products are great products to sell on Etsy (especially if you’re a beginner) because they’re usually easy to make and ship.
Many Etsy customers are looking for unique, pretty cards and envelopes. Fill their demand with the help of your Cricut.
You’ll need just a few things to make these:
- Kraftboard
- Printed paper
- Glue stick
- Scraper tool
- Light grip cutting mat
- Scoring stylus

5. Dog Tags
One of my favorite Cricut Maker projects to sell on Etsy is dog tags. Dog owners love buying personalized products for their pups. And let’s face it – every dog needs a tag.
You can find blanks on Amazon in a variety of shapes: bones, hearts, rectangular and more.
You’ll also need an engraving tip and a strong grip mat.
All that’s left to do is create a template for your tags based on the blanks you choose. You can allow customers to choose their preferred color and font for the text if you want, but make sure you have strict character limits so that the tags are readable.
6. Stickers
Stickers are a classic choice and one of the easiest products to make and sell on Etsy. They also happen to be one of the most fun things to make and are super popular with customers.
You can use design tools like Canva to help you create your sticker designs. The rest is easy. Just use Cricut Design Space to lay out your stickers and print on vinyl sticker paper. Your Cricut will take care of cutting the shapes out.
If you want to make your stickers extra sparkly, you can add a holographic overlay.
Seasonal and niche designs do really well on Etsy, so find your audience and start creating.
7. Custom Etched Glass Baking Dish
Personalized baking dishes make great housewarming, anniversary and Christmas gifts. You can use your Cricut to create etched dishes with personalized messages and designs.
You’ll need Pyrex baking dishes, Armor Etch Etching Cream, stencil vinyl and other basic crafting supplies to make these.
To make these, you’ll start with a customized design printed on vinyl. Apply the vinyl stencil to the bottom of the dish and use the etching cream to etch the design in the glass.
8. Kids Wooden Name Puzzle
Personalized wooden name puzzles make great gifts, and you can use your Cricut to create and sell them.
They’re especially popular with new parents.
You need just a few things to get started:
- Knife blade
- 2mm chipboard
- 1/16” basswood sheets
- Strong grip mat
- Masking tape
- Wood adhesive
- Color stain
- Paint brushes
The Country Chic Cottage has an in-depth tutorial on how to make these wooden puzzles, which you can easily sell on Etsy.
9. Stackable Paper Calendars
These paper calendars are adorable, and they stack up to create a full vase of flowers. Cricut UK has a tutorial on how to create this project, which customers will love on Etsy.
10. Bookmarks
Bookworms love buying new bookmarks, and they usually turn to Etsy to find unique designs that match their personalities. Naturally, they are one of the top Cricut Maker projects to sell on Etsy.
You need just a few supplies and shipping is easy, so this is a profitable product.
You can create your bookmarks with cardstock or wood. You’ll just need a few pretty designs. Create them yourself or purchase an SVG design to use. My recommendation? Stay away from anything related to book titles, movies or any other copyrighted material.
11. Custom Puzzles
Another personalized puzzle project that would be very profitable on Etsy. This time, we’re not doing names – we’re doing a traditional puzzle with the customer’s photo or custom design that they supply.
That’s what makes this project so easy. The customer does most of the work for you.
Use thick white cardstock to ensure the photo is vibrant. I recommend following Cricut’s own tutorial to make the process as easy as possible.
12. Engraved Spreaders
Spreaders are perfect for use with charcuterie boards or just spreading jam or butter on your morning toast. People love them, and you can offer customized options right through your Etsy shop.
Engraving is easy if you have the right blade for your Cricut. You’ll need an engraving tip, a strong grip mat, stainless steel spreaders and some fun designs.
You can create your own quirky sayings, or you can even offer the option for a personalized message.
Just make sure that your designs will fit on the blade of the spreader. Follow the Well Crafted Studio’s tutorial on how to create these.
13. Faux Leather Keychains
Keychains have always been a popular product on Etsy. Whether it’s a design that shows off your personality or just a simple way to keep your keys labeled, there are so many options on Etsy.
The Homes I Have Made has an excellent tutorial on how to create customized faux leather keychains that you can sell on Etsy.
Customers can add a monogram, a special label or whatever else they want. Or you can create and sell pre-designed keychains.
You can find faux leather keychain blanks on Amazon, and you can use iron-on vinyl to add the design.
14. Engraved Acrylic Keychain
Another keychain project that’s perfect for selling on Etsy. But instead of using faux leather, you’ll use acrylic.
There are plenty of blanks on Amazon that you can choose from. You’ll also need an engraving tip and some jewelry pliers to attach the rings more easily.
The hardest step? Finding designs. You can create your own or purchase SVGs that you can import. Another option is to offer customization. The customer can add their name or whatever they wish (within limits to ensure the design fits on the keychain).
15. Wooden Cash Holder
Here’s one of the more niche Cricut Maker projects to sell on Etsy, but it’s a popular one at graduation season: wooden cash holders. Cash is the most common gift to give at graduation, and these holders will make that gift extra-special.
You can offer a simple “Class of 202X” design, or you can allow customers to customize it with a name.
While graduation is the most common milestone to give cash as a gift, you can also offer options for other occasions, like anniversaries, birthdays or weddings.

16. Engraved Acrylic Ornaments
Whether personalized or with pre-made designs, acrylic ornaments are one of the top Cricut Maker projects to sell on Etsy.

This is a fun project that you’ll enjoy creating and selling in your shop.
You can find acrylic ornament blanks on Amazon that you can use to create your products. The rest is up to your creativity.
