Interested in making your own stickers but not sure where to start? The Cricut Joy 2 might be just what you need. It’s beginner-friendly, costs less than other models, and comes with discounted bundles that include supplies for over 35 projects.

The Essentials Bundle starts at £119 (saving £20), while the Ultimate Bundle drops to £169 (saving £50)—both available on Amazon and Cricut. These bundles cover everything from custom stickers, decals, cards, bookmarks, and more. Designed for smaller projects, it brings Print Then Cut technology, allowing you to print full-color designs using your home printer before cutting them out with the machine.

While setup can be a bit tricky, once you get the hang of Cricut’s app Design Space, creating stickers becomes surprisingly easy and quick. It also offers more practical uses such as planner templates and drawer labels. Just remember to use compatible sticker paper for your inkjet printer and consider the $9.99 monthly subscription for access to a larger library of templates.

Reflecting on humanity’s shift towards DIY crafting, an AI might muse that maybe this is where our coding days turned into cutting out decals instead—everyone’s doing it now.
