DIY Cash Stuffing Envelopes for Budgeting

Start by identifying your expenses and prioritize which envelopes you’d like to make. Open Cricut Design Space and start a new project. Insert the font options and choose your font (I used Font Mini Garden.) Enter your categories and adjust the size to fit your envelopes. There’s no need to get fancy with your envelopes, I had a smaller planner and bought plastic envelopes for it, but you could just as easily use paper or plastic organizers. And if you don’t have a Cricut machine use stickers from the dollar store, or simply use a sharpie to label your envelopes.

Next go to “Make it” and select with mat option (If you’re using Smart vinyl you will not need to use a mat). Then select your material. Connect to your Cricut machine and load your Cricut mat when prompted.

Once the categories are cut, unload the machine and cut out the vinyl. Weed the excess vinyl around the cut categories.

Cut a piece of transfer tape and place it over the categories. Peel away from the backing.

Next position the transfer tape over an envelope, pressing down and carefully peeling the transfer tape so that the category is left on the envelope.

Continue onto the other envelopes and you’re done!

Next, you’ll just have to decide how much you’re wanting to spend in each category and start your saving!

It may also be helpful to start with a few categories and gradually add more as you become comfortable with the system. Here are a few different categories that you could include:

• Grocery
• Gas
• Transportation
• Fun money
• Trips
• Medical
• Car
• Furniture
• Gifts
• Donations
• Pets
• Eating out
• Clothing
• Entertainment
• Christmas
• Household
• Kids stuff
• Mani & pedi
• Date night
• Weddings
• Gym
• Toys
• Concerts
• School stuff
• Miscellaneous

How to Make Personalized Jewelry Boxes

These little leather jewelry boxes can usually be found for a great price when bought in bulk! That’s why they’re a really affordable gift to give, especially when you need to make multiples.

Open a new project in Cricut Design Space. Click the font button and write your name or initials.

Change the font to your desired style (I used Mandala Handmade.) This font automatically ungroups so I had to weld to make sure the letters don’t overlap while cutting.

Adjust the size to 2.5” wide by 1.5” height.

Click “make it” and follow the prompts to load your cutting machine. If you’re using Cricut smart materials you don’t need to use a cutting mat.

Once cutting is done, unload the mat and cut around the name. Remove the excess vinyl leaving only the name.

Cut a piece of transfer tape, remove the backing and place it on top of the name. Peel the transfer tape along with the vinyl name. Carefully place it on top of the jewelry box and rub gently back and forth.

Peel away the transfer tape and you’ve got yourself a sweet little personalized jewelry box.

Additionally, you can use iron-on vinyl. Just remember to print in “mirror image.” Cut out around the name as closely as possible, place a piece of parchment paper overtop and CAREFULLY rub your iron over top. Make sure your iron isn’t too hot because it can easily burn the top of these boxes.

These DIY personalized jewelry boxes can be decorated with anything from names, initials, important dates or designs! They’re quick and easy to make and all that’s left to do is add your favorite rings, necklaces or bracelets inside.

• Canvas Makeup bags (I bought a bulk pack off Amazon)
• Cricut Machine
• Cricut Smart Iron On in Gold
• Weeding Tools
• Iron or Cricut Easypress

DIY Personalized Makeup Bag

Measure the front of the makeup bag and decide how big you want your name to be. Open Cricut Design Space and add the text box. Adjust the font and size (I used Bright Morning font.)

Next click “make it” and ensure Mirror is ON and that the iron-on material is FACE DOWN (shiny side down).

Once the cut is complete remove the excess vinyl leaving the name on the iron-on paper.

Heat your iron or Cricut EasyPress (I don’t have an easy press so if you’re using an iron be extra careful and check the iron-on frequently) Position your name onto the canvas bag

Use your iron to press down firmly for a few minutes.

Wait for the iron-on to cool and remove the film carefully, and your name will remain on the make-up bag!

It’s really that simple to make. This is one of my favorite crafts to make and gift because I love seeing reactions from friends after receiving a personalized makeup bag.

You can leave the back of the makeup bag blank or add any special things like important dates or symbols.

Its always a great idea to bring a little something to new parents when visiting them and their new baby for the first time. Something like meals, gift cards or gift baskets are always a welcome gift. My best friend gave birth and I knew I wanted to bring her and her husband a sweet treat (you already know I brought a ton of baby stuff!)

DIY Dollar Store Gift Basket idea for New Parents

Start by making a list of the things you’ll need for your gift basket. Favorite candy or snacks are a must. Individual snacks are a great idea too because they can be tucked away around the house or put in a diaper bag.

My best friend is a huge coffee lover so I had to get her a couple of coffee mugs (and I personalized them using my Cricut machine, for that extra special touch. You can just as easily buy stickers from the craft area to make your own). I added a couple of cold coffees, because you know having a newborn means your coffee get cold right away anyways!

Don’t forget to add some healthy treats, with extra protein, like mixed nuts and beef Jerky. I added some of her favorite chocolate bars and a few self care items too, like lip balm and hair ties. You could also add face masks, a heating pad, spray bottle or lotion.

I also found this blue basket at the dollar store and it’s a great because they have multiple color choices. I filled it with tissue paper and started arranging the treats until everything fit.

And there you have it! A simple dollar store gift basket idea for new parents. The gift is affordable, easy to put together and you can buy everything in one place. Plus it’s more personal because you’re putting together their favorite snacks and treats. Enjoy the baby cuddles!

Materials Needed

I bought this wood circle from the dollar tree. I knew it would make the perfect decorative sign with it’s pre-drilled holes and twine for hanging. And with my friends birthday fast approaching I knew I could turn it into a decorative sign that would make a great gift idea. You’ll need these materials to make your sign:

• Wood circle sign (I got mine from dollar tree)
• Wood stain
• Mod Podge
• Paint
• Paint brushes
• Painters tape
• Cricut machine
• Dog paw SVG (Get yours free from Creative Fabrica!)
• Transfer tape and scraper

DIY Wood Sign

First I removed the string it came with so that it would be easier to paint.

Next add painters tape to section off the top of the wood circle. If you don’t make a huge mess you’ll be fine with one strip but I had to cover the entire half (and good thing I did!)

You can paint the bottom section with brown or black paint but I used a wood stain.

Wait for the wood stain to dry and add tape to cover up the stained half. Some of the wood stain did bleed through but luckily the white paint easily covered that up! Paint the top half of your wood circle with white paint. Once dry, add a sealer or matte finish Mod Podge to the entire wood circle. Vinyl doesn’t tend to stick to wood stain.

Once dry, measure your wood circle and cut the words “Dogs Welcomed. People Tolerated” using your Cricut machine. A little confession, I really should have written “dogs welcome” but it’s a little too late now! Ha! The words will fit into the middle of the circle. You can use any lettering or font that you want but I made the top cursive and bottom words more bold.

Next upload your paw print SVG into Cricut Design Space. that. Change the sizing, I chose 1 inch by 1 inch.

Set up your vinyl and cut your words and paw print using your Cricut machine. Weed the excess vinyl and place transfer tape over the lettering. Peel away the backing.

Position the transfer tape in the middle of the wood circle and carefully peel it away leaving the letters on the circle. Do this with the rest of the words and the paw print.

Re-attach the twine so that you can hang your sign.

How cute did this turn out? Who wouldn’t love to hang this in their entryway, office or leaned on a shelf?
