Is Cricut a good investment in South Africa?

The nickel-and-diming is a lot if you’re just a hobby crafter, and you’re going to end up spending a lot more if you don’t have the skills to build your own designs in Design Space. However, if you sell your crafts on Etsy or elsewhere, I do think a Cricut could be a good investment.

What is a Cricut machine?
A Cricut is an digital die-cutting machine that is able to cut many different materials for you to use in a plethora of craft projects. You can cut materials such as paper, vinyl and with the correct cutting blades some Cricut machines can also cut balsa wood, fabrics, leather and cork.

Can I sell shirts with Cricut designs in South Africa?

The short answer is YES, you can sell the products you make with your Cricut!

Did Cricut go out of business?

The company came under fire in March of 2021 after announcing that those who had purchased and owned a Cricut machine would now have to pay $9.99/month to upload more than 20 custom designs each month―a service that used to be unlimited and free for users.

Do you have to pay for fonts on Cricut in South Africa?

Although you would need a subscription to access the fonts, Creative Fabrica regularly slashes off their premium fonts rates. So it’s not free per se, but you only have to pay a dollar for every beautiful font for your Cricut projects.

Can I upload my own images to Cricut in South Africa?

You can upload your very own original art to Cricut Design Space too! Whether you’ve drawn something on a piece of paper or digitally, save it as either a JPG, PNG or SVG file an import it in the same way as you would a downloaded image.

Do you need a printer for Cricut in South Africa?

Print and cut is a little different than your normal cutting of vinyl and iron-on vinyl. You actually need to use a printer along with your Cricut Explore Air or Cricut Maker.

Do you need a computer to use a Cricut in South Africa?

It requires Windows 10, at least the 64-bit version. I would get a computer that can at least run Windows 10, 64-bit or higher. NOTE: You will need to switch any computer that comes in “S mode” to regular in order to run Cricut Design Space.

Is owning a Cricut expensive?

For $10 a month, you get access to 400 fonts and thousands of graphics, as well as a discount on materials. Again, for a hobbyist, $10 per month seems like a lot, as you’re probably not using the machine constantly. I didn’t find Cricut Design Space to be intuitive.

Is it hard to learn to use a Cricut in South Africa?

And the software is going to be the most difficult thing to learn with any cutting machine. Out of all of them I’ve tried, Cricut is the most straightforward and easiest to use. There’s still a learning curve for sure. That’s why I recommend you go ahead and start playing around with it now.
