Where to Buy Cricut and Other Low-Cost Craft Supplies
Also, see my post about where to buy Blanks for decorating with your Cricut.
Vinyl
HTV
SISER EasyWeed Heat Transfer Vinyl, 12 x 15″ 12-Color Starter BUNDLE $28.19 free shipping
Siser EasyWeed 15 ft rolls $2.39 per foot free shipping
Happy Crafters is hands down my favorite place to buy HTV from if I’m not buying the huge bundles listed above. They almost always have a coupon code to use but even when they don’t they are only $3.00 per sheet or 10+ $2.50, 25+ $2.25, 50+ $2.00 (You can mix and match colors for quantity discount). Free Shipping over $75 that arrives in just a few days and they have a rewards program for cash off future purchases!
Bulk Glitter Iron on Rolls use coupon code CraftsbyTwo to get an additional 15% off and free shipping making each 12″ x 12″ glitter sheet only $2.55 plus tax.
I sell plain/neon/glitter 12″ x 15″ HTV sheets for $3.50 and glitter 12″ x 12″ HTV sheets in my Etsy shop for $3.75. It can be cheaper to do it this way if you are not buying in bulk. I usually have a lower shipping fee for small purchases than the larger companies do.

Heat Press
You aren’t living until you have a heat press! If you are doing regular iron-on projects it makes your life sooooo much easier and is going to make your project last longer.
Cricut Easy Press is a little more compact than a heat press, so perfect if you don’t have a lot of space.
I have this Heat Press! It’s only $117.99 and Free shipping! I have never had a problem with it and its rated 4.5 stars out of 5!
However, This Heat Press is a great deal. If I was to go back I would get a clamshell heat press and not a swing away. The swing away you really have to be careful what is around it and need more room on the table. You can also fit something thicker in the clamshell vs. the swing away.
This illuminates lines to help you weed easier. If you have an iPad or tablet you could use that as a bright pad too.

The things found in the Target Dollar area are seasonal and change often so not always available.
Correct and may not be the same at each Target store.
Love this list, thank you! The HTV prices above are only for regular htv, right? So far, I’ve been using a lot of the glitter and metallic ones. If anyone is looking for glitter ones, the last time I bought from Amazon, it was about $3.29/sheet, which is pretty good for glitter. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCK0S5A/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=sarah029a-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01NCK0S5A&linkId=15eb15a2be0b6d02936cae60ffc3bd18
I’ll need to try the regular vinyls above. Thanks for putting this together.
You’re Welcome! Thanks for your addition. 🙂 Yes, these are just for plain HTV. I will probably add more details later. It was taking forever to look up all the vinyl prices haha.
You should check out My Vinyl Passion.
They have a lot of different glitter vinyl. It’s a little more than the Amazon one but the pieces are a little bigger and you get to choose the colors you want!
Thank you 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to do all this leg work. It makes starting to work on my Cricut a lot more bearable. There’s alot to learn and this is one less project to conquer.
Wow? This is so helpful I am just getting started and went to hobby lobby and everything was soooo expensive! I was thinking I made a mistake because I would have to spend so much on everything… I’m glad I did some research and found this!! Thank you so much for saving me all that money and time looking!!! Your amazing for doing this??
Awesome list! Shared!
I’ve purchased some things at bigguylittleguy.com and they have great service, but I’ll try a couple from the list, thanks!
Thank you for the list!! On the “Hollar” one – how can I find the metal cups in the picture? thanks!
Unfortunately, on Hollar they don’t keep everything in stock, a lot of times when it goes out of stock they don’t sell it anymore. I think that’s how they have such low prices because it’s all close out items.
I’m a totally newbie and have no clue on anything- but I got the bug and wanted to start creating. My Cricut arrived last Thursday – took a beginners class at Jo-Ann fabrics and guess what ???? I’m still lost! So I truly appreciate finding this site you created and all of your wisdom! THANK Y VERY MUCH!!!!!
My friend buys all of her vinyl on ebay. She said its been the cheapest by roll fromor her so far.
I make personalized glass cutting boards for a REALTOR. She gives them as closing gifts. I have been using the ones you see all over Pinterest and can get at WalMart, glass with the black rubber corners. WalMart is very sporadic on their supply. I have contacted them about direct order and I’m getting no where. Do you know of another source for them? I have searched the internet and found nothing else. They are so popular on all of the craft sites. There has to be another source. Thank you in advance.
Does anyone know where you can buy plain shirts with a polyester blend? Soft shirts?
If anyone wants tp make their own stencils with their silhouette or cricut i use stencil film, it doesnt bleed US Cutter has 12″x100ft for $15.99 that’s where I get mine I also get 12x100ft of transfer tape through Amazon for $23 and all my vinyl from craftables.com
This is SO helpful!
I am so new at this. You had things on your list that I hadn’t even thought of yet!
Thanks,
Diane
