Last year, I got my very first Cricut Explore Air 2. I wasn’t sure I really needed it but I was so excited to start using the crafting machine! I’ve used the machine to make so many fun projects – t-shirts, wall art, lanterns and more. I think every person – crafty or not – should have this tool in their home. I’m so excited to partner with Cricut to host a Michael’s Mint Green Cricut Giveaway – so keep reading!
