You know what’s cool? A feather cut out of paper.

You know what’s even cooler? A hundred of ’em, hung up as a chandelier.

And do you know what could possibly be even cooler than that?

A robot Cricut Explore machine that does it all for you. Our Cricut Explore Project Videos have just gone live, and we’re pretty sure these paper craft workshops are going to result in lots of gorgeous parties and beautifully-decorated houses.

Introducing the Cricut Explore

The Cricut Explore is the very latest in paper cutting technology. It allows users to upload templates (fonts, shapes, you name it), adjust their size, and then program the machine to cut out as many of those pieces as they want. Another pretty amazing feature of the Cricut Explore is the fact that it can handle more than paper — such as vinyl, cardstock, plastic, fabrics — which should pretty dramatically expand your craftiverse.

We partnered with Cricut to film some Cricut Explore Projects of our own and we had an absolute blast doing it.

One day was all about modern, geometric party décor.

The next day we went feather-crazy and made feather-themed home décor including a chandelier, stenciled pillows, and an embellished cutting board.
