Cricut Accessory Tools
There are many Cricut Accessories that are a necessary component to the Cricut Machine, and many come in the box and some come as part of bundles. Below though are the Cricut Accessory Tools that I recommend for beginners:
Basic Tool Set: This 5-piece set gets you started with the basic tools you need for a Cricut crafting session. You’ll be equipped to precisely and expertly handle most DIY projects, from vinyl for decals to iron-on decor projects, to cardstock masterpieces. | Cricut Basic Tool Set
You must have some Cutting Mats to use your Cricut Machine. For use with Cricut Maker® and Cricut Explore® cutting machines. Use the LightGrip Mat for standard paper, light cardstock, and vellum; StandardGrip for heavy cardstock, iron-on, and vinyl; StrongGrip for specialty cardstock, matboard, backed fabric, and more. To ensure best performance, use the recommended material types on the mats. | Cricut Machine Mat Variety Pack | 12″ x 12″ | 3 Count
The Scoring Stylus lets you use your Cricut Explore® machine to score fold lines for cards and envelopes, boxes, 3D projects, and more. The Cricut Explore holds the Scoring Stylus and a cutting blade at the same time, so you can cut and score in one step—without changing mats! Includes one Scoring Stylus for use with Cricut Explore and Maker machines. | Cricut Scoring Stylus
