Did you know IPDPL has Cricut Makers available for patron use?

Maybe you have always wanted to try a Cricut cutting machine but never had the opportunity. Perhaps you would like to learn more or simply try using one for yourself before committing to spending the money. Our "Create with Cricut" classes are the answer!

In each session, we explore a different aspect of the Cricut crafting universe, from designing an original project to creating vinyl stickers, personalized greeting cards, and iron-ons for totes, t-shirts, and more!

Join us for this exciting crafting adventure!

Stickers

Making a sticker has never been simpler! In this session, we will make simple stickers from adhesive vinyl, use the Cricut Maker to write and cut labels, and learn how to transfer our finished design to our final product.
