5 Things I Love about my Cricut Explore Air 2

Crafters of all skill levels continue to rave about their Air 2! But today I’m sharing 5 Reasons Why I Love my Cricut Explore Air™ 2  along with a fun and easy DIY craft.

In addition to being a top craft machine that cuts everything from cardstock, vinyl, iron-on, as well as specialty materials like glitter paper, cork, and bonded fabric… it cuts over 100 materials! Make cards, iron-on graphics, home decor! 

Choosing from thousands of images and fonts, and ready-to-make projects like I did for a few of my projects, the Air 2 is easy to use.

5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2

1. Easy to Use

Like all Cricut products, the Cricut Explore Air 2 is easy to use. I always think it’s going to be hard, but they do a great job of walking through the ready-to-make projects in the Design Space. Depending on your project, you’ll be instructed on which blade or maybe a pen to put in each housing. 

After creating a few projects with their prompts and help, you’ll pick up the confidence to create your own designs from scratch.

I also find it easy to cut so many different materials by using their custom dial. This way it’s cut perfectly every time! 

Cutting out the SWEET onto brown vinyl was a cinch!

2. Using the Design Space App / Bluetooth

I had forgotten my laptop, but that didn’t stop me from being able to start and complete my project. 

I was able to connect to my Cricut wirelessly from my phone. If you don’t have the Explore Air 2, but own the older Explore, you can purchase a Bluetooth wireless adapter. 

3.  Quick Gift Ideas

One of the 5 Things I Love about my Cricut Explore Air 2 is how I can whip up an easy gift idea in a matter of minutes. 

Using one of their designs, I simply cut it out on brown vinyl and applied to brown lunch sacks. I was able to make a cute DIY gift, by taking an ordinary brown bag to the cutest gift.

I placed homemade cookies inside, added a cute ribbon and just like that, I had a thoughtful custom made, handmade gift.

Make up a few and hand them out as goodie bags or party favors.

4. Create Home Decor Projects

One of my favorite things to do with my Air 2 machine is to create home decor. 

I love the custom pillows and dishtowels I made for seasonal decor. This makes it inexpensive to decorate and they also make great DIY gift ideas. See all my Cricut projects. 

5. Cricut Explore Air 2 Colors & Price

Can you believe all the color choices? There is something for everyone! You can purchase in a bundle or just the machine. Bundles come with many of the materials so you can get creating right away! 

The Cricut Explore Air 2 is very reasonable with great sales all the time.  See colors and pricing here.
