thank you so much to cricut for sponsoring this video hello welcome back i am finally back in
canada back at home and honestly i'm really happy to be home this was two-week vacation in italy
and it was awesome so many good memories and a lot of just like adventuring around but you know that
feeling when like you just want to be back home and especially after like a long journey wearing
masks with covid and all this stuff i was ready to be back home so i'm glad to be here and to start
with some more projects back home and i was first thinking that it might actually make sense for me
to start in the kitchen with some things i had on my mind specifically i was thinking you know
you just want to get back into something that's going to be relatively quick relatively easy
lift up my spirits and get me ready for what's next and so i thought in this video and today
i would do a little challenge with myself to see how many projects i can do in 30 minutes
with cricut because i've been having these ideas in my head for a while this video is sponsored
by cricket but all the project ideas are my own so i am very excited to see them implemented
in my space i think i'm going to do a tea towel that i've had in mind for
probably like eight months i think i'm going to do some glasses because i want some cute
glasses for boba that i have like i bought bob off amazon and like i want to make it in a cute class
let's do it okay so i've got my qriket maker 3 just sitting here on the floor this is usually
where i do work i know a lot of people have desk setups but for me on the floor is like the best i
was on instagram earlier and i had several people message me be like what is cricket and i was like
ah how could you not know so i thought i would tell you at least cricket is a smart cutting
machine and it's super super handy it can cut so many different types of materials so that you can
basically customize things and decorate things to your liking so for instance this can cut like over
300 types of materials from like iron on vinyls to permanent vinyls temporary vinyls things that you
can use for crafts it could also do cardstock aluminum wood veneer leather so many different
types of materials it is insane and this is like i would say probably the best craft machine for not
only hobbyists like if you just love crafting like i do this is awesome but i know so many people who
actually started businesses using a cricut because that's how people are like customizing tumblers
and customizing like teachers gifts and t-shirts and all sorts of different things so
i think this is just like a really handy tool and really fun even if you just want something
that's a nice treat for yourself also do i wish something like this existed when i was little
absolutely i would have begged my parents to buy this for me okay so the first project i'm actually
gonna do is gonna be a tea towel because this has been something that's been on my
mind for a long time and why you might ask well basically because i have had these linen sheets
that i stopped using shortly after i got them just because i realized it was making my hair super dry
and i've had this idea to turn the like pillows of them into tea towels because i just think it's
a great way to reuse the material and i think that they're kind of like the perfect shape and
everything linen is also super absorbent so i felt like it was a good way to just like reuse it and
keep it as a piece of decor even though i'm not using it in the traditional sense so this is just
one of them i'm going to make one for now and then we'll see whether or not i make like a whole set
of them or whether i want to customize different designs later on so for this one i was thinking
i wanted to do kind of like a little leaf pattern so like different leaves all over this and kind of
a staggered pattern i thought it would be really cute i love things that are like asymmetrical you
know organic kind of looking and this would fit all the whole bill so let's get started with this
i am going to quickly just whip something up in design space basically you can access a bunch of
free images including like a million different leaf designs so i'm just gonna go look some up
pull them down really quick put them into a nice little staggered design and then we'll get to
making it okay so this is my final design let's see if you can see it beautiful do you see how
many different types of leaves there are that i just pulled in real quick and hopefully this will
look like exactly as i envisioned so i have this iron-on vinyl which is awesome i've used it before
and i'm just gonna put it on the mat and then load it in and then we'll cut it super simple
it's always so cool when it starts cutting like this you can actually barely see the cutouts but
like they're there it is doing the cutting i can tell that you're tough just the size
okay so i did all of the cutouts and everything and look at how cute this is i've got this one
on this sheet i've got some more over here and now we're just going to use the easy press which
is just like cricket's version of a perfect iron solution for this and we're going to heat
transfer it on super simple and i love doing this i made shirts before super fun as well
so
okay so i love how this turned out first of all i love the fact that i was able to use an
old veg pillow sham that like i'm never gonna use outside of that because it's linen but it
makes a perfect tea towel i also love the design just in general because i love that they're like
all different little unique shapes of leaves and little like herbs and stuff that's so so cute
i feel like that aligns so well with me as a person because i love things that are asymmetric
and different and i just think it's really really cute so kudos to this one and i wonder
what i should do with the other ones because i have several linen pillow shams and actually i
was doing an instagram live today and someone said oh you can turn like different ones into different
grocery bags and stuff like that like if i want to repurpose the linen sheets and duvet cover and i
thought oh that's a fantastic idea and i could print them with cute messages and stuff too so
maybe i'll do that next time but for now this one is beautiful in my opinion so i thought now
i should work on something a little bit different also leveraging my cricut machine because why not
and i was thinking i got these cups actually i got four of them but i'll show you two they look
like little cans you know what i mean they look like cans and i thought this would be
super cute for boba and like specialty drinks and stuff smoothies if i ever make a smoothie
or a juice and stuff like that so i wanted to print these with little flowers so i think i'm
just going to pop over to cricut's design space on my computer and just mock up a little design
of some pretty flowers and then we'll put those on there i took a look earlier at the different
flower options that there were and i already saw ones that i absolutely love so we'll see which
ones i go with and then we'll put them on and we'll have new cups and actually i have bubba
let me show you is boba the right word i have bubble tea like a taro bubble tea that i bought
but where is it i don't know that says boba tea mix taro but yeah i got this stuff and it's
supposed to be like taro the purple one and have boba in it and i thought that would be perfect
so maybe i'll attempt to make that afterwards how do i do this though does this not come with
the boba in it though i feel like this doesn't come with the boba wait i'm gonna open this do i
need to buy boba oh it doesn't come with the boba why did i think that it would smells good though
okay so literally in just a couple seconds i have mocked up my little design in design space do you
want to see it can you see the flowers just like that look how cute that will be i just want some
big like daisy type flowers um so i'm going to go ahead and print them out and look the sun has come
out right now today is a good day okay okay so for this one i'm actually gonna use a premium vinyl
and i realized recently that with this new cricut maker machine because this is the cricut maker
3 and before i had an explorer 2 and with the new machine you don't need these cutting mats
if you're using smart material so like these cutting mats if you use the smart material
you don't need them and if i had thought ahead a little bit better
i would have got smart materials so that i didn't need to use the mat because that totally saves you
like a whole step in like the whole process so i'm gonna stick it on the mat
so i'm just going to press make it on a mat
continue
okay check out the little cutouts that the cricut machine is done you can see the little flowers
reflecting oh i just love that the sun has come out it's like so bright here
you keep on waiting but then you came along and proved me all wrong i was so mistaken cause you
glue all the pieces back together yeah you you take all my wrongs and make em better
yeah you you're making me wanna try forever i feel so free for my sweet baby
i was never the one to give up the ghost no i was so stuck i kept on playing my part wanted
to give up cause nothing was changing but with you it's okay how pretty is this oh
my goodness this is so pretty like imagine this on glasses how adorable like oh this is
dream except i'm gonna make it a reality because these are actually gonna be my glasses yeah you
okay so not an over-exaggeration i am obsessed with this glass it is beautiful and
now i'm just trying to decide should i do the rest of the three glasses that i have with this exact
same print or should i do them with different prints mix it up some hearts because i feel like
i'm obsessed with hearts i don't know what else to say so should i do that or should i do them
all matching just like this but this is so cute i am literally obsessed with this to die for love
it and so fast to do as well you can customize it with whatever you want this would make such a cute
gift too like if you wanted to customize something specific just saying so i just wanted to say thank
you once again to qriket for sponsoring this video it's because of sponsors like cricket that i'm
able to do what i do and live my childhood dreams of crafting and decor and all sorts
of stuff like that so if you're interested in getting a qriket machine or getting some supplies
go through my link down below that helps me that helps my channel and i'm thinking at this point i
might as well make the tea with minus the boba aka the whole purpose of these glasses i don't
have the bubba but i will have a cool purple drink so let's attempt to make this i was just looking
at the bottom oh did i open this up on yeah i opened it on camera to see there's like no bubba
i was like did i do the half flavor but yeah it says add one tablespoon of powder to a little bit
of hot water then add some sugar and then add milk let's do it let's see if my ice is frozen
oh is it oh hard to say no it's not frozen yet
okay
had to think about that last you know tenth of a teaspoon it's just us too
so are we ready for a taste of our
taro bubble tea minus the bubbles because i don't have them out of my brand new cricut made glass
it's nice i think i need to add some more ice because my ice was a little bit sad
i had to like strain out the water from the ice to make it legit but super cute glass
pretty good drink i'm gonna put this in the fridge i think enjoy this later but that's probably all
i'm gonna do today i think i'm gonna head out with one of my friends tomorrow take you a long little
vloggy type segment so see you tomorrow hello good morning so today i'm going to do something
really exciting because i'm actually going with my best friend and her mom and sister to
a neighboring town to go check out some little shops and go to lunch at a pretty garden it's
