Cricut Maker and Press
The Cricut Maker is a DIY cutting machine used to create custom projects for home, business, school, or hobby. It has a small blade to cut a variety of materials such as fabrics, card stock, vinyl, paper, and more.

Cricuts in the Makerspace at Leonardtown Library

The Makerspace at Leonardtown Library has two Cricut Makers available for use during Makerspace open hours. We also have a Cricut Heat Press for transferring heat transfer vinyl to fabric. Cricut users must undergo a brief training before their first time using the machine. Please see a Library staff member in the Makerspace for details.
