The Cricut Maker 3 allows you to create DIY projects with precision. It can be used to cut out fabric patterns or create vinyl decals, and can cut through a wide array of other materials.
Using the Smart Cutter
You can drop in to use one of our two Cricut Makers, but reservations are strongly recommended.
Before your initial visit, if you have never used a Cricut Maker before, please drop by during our Staffed Drop-In hours or schedule a One-on-One appointment for a brief orientation on the machine. To schedule a One-on-One appointment, please email Jane Fleming at createandmake@portagelibrary.info.

Costs
Use of the Cricut Maker is free. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own supplies. Materials can be purchased on Amazon, most big box stores, local craft stores and online craft stores such as Swing Design, Expressions Vinyl, and many more. Orocal and Siser ( for heat transfer vinyl, HTV) are reliable brands as well.
Contact us with your questions if you don’t know what material to purchase for your project or if you are unsure if the material you need is compatible with the Cricut Maker.
