Makerspace - Cricut Station (M)

Library Branch
The Cricut Maker 3 can cut many different types of material quickly and accurately. The fine-point blade is perfect for most paper or cardstock projects. Adding markers allows users to draw and then cut their designs, from gift tags to personalized cards. IPDPL maintains a subscription to the Cricut Design Space catalog of projects so patrons can recreate an existing design, or use the design tools to create an original project.
