How To Make Christmas Party Decorations Using your Cricut

Christmas is here and if you are lucky enough to have a Cricut machine then you are going to love this roundup. People are often surprised to learn that I do not have a Cricut machine. Truth be told I would love one, but I am not sure how many times I would use it, as generally, I do not get a lot of time to craft. However, I would love just labeling everything in my house. I have used a Cricut cake which was lots of fun. One day I hope to get a small Cricut machine, Maybe Santa will bring me one.

In the meantime for all my readers who DO have a Cricut machine here is a list of amazing crafts you can make for your next Christmas party. Whether it is for the office Christmas party or your own party at home. I love all of these Christmas Cricut ideas, but If I was to select my favorite Cricut craft it would have to be the Retro Christmas decorations.

Looking for a knit gift with a personal touch? How about knitting a hat with the recipient’s name on it?

This simple hat from Fox and Pine Stitches would be lovely all by itself, but you can make it, like, 50 percent cuter by adding an initial, monogram or even a full name (as long as it’s a short one!) to the body of the hat.

The letters are added with duplicate stitch once the hat is finished, so you can stitch a bunch of these up and then decide who you want to give them to and how you want to embellish them.

I love the look of the lettering matching a pompom on top, but you should go with what’s in your heart.

The hat includes sizes for newborns, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-3 years, 4-12 years and adult women.

The pattern calls for Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick, but you can use whatever super bulky yarn you have on hand. The only skills you need for this one are knitting, purling, working a knit 2 together and doing duplicate stitch.

Get the free pattern from Fox and Pine Stitches.

If you’ve never done duplicate stitch before, it’s actually pretty easy. It’s a method of adding graphic designs to the surface of a knitting project by literally sewing over — duplicating — the stitches below.

Duplicate stitch, also known as swiss darning, is a fun and effective tool to have in your colorwork arsenal. There’s a good tutorial at Purl Soho where you can learn the basics.

Check out more patterns using duplicate stitch: the Shape of My Heart Scarf, and this watermelon cushion are both good uses for it. And check out how a little bit of duplicate stitch makes it easier to give your kilt hose a tartan look.
