Did you know that your Cricut can write and draw? Did you know that you can get Cricut Pen adaptors so you can use other pens with your Cricut machine? Do you have a large collection of pens that you would love to uses with your Cricut?
These are the same questions I had about my Cricut Explore when I got one for Christmas in 2018. If you don’t have a Cricut, first of all, you should get one! You will not believe all the things you can create with it!
I have used it to create my own stickers and embellishments for scrapbooking and iron-on vinyl projects with the Cricut EasyPress 2.

I have a large collection of pens and I wanted to use on my Cricut Explore machine, but they wouldn’t fit in the pen adaptor that came with the Cricut!? I didn’t want to be limited to only using the Cricut pens! A crafty gal like me doesn’t want their creativity stifled by the very tools I use to be creative with, so what did I do! Knowing me, that wasn’t going to work for my nerdy craftiness!
So I started checking out YouTube and Google to find a way around this problem. I found that other people were talking about the same problem I was having. They were able to find other pen adaptors to use in their Cricut machines. Ahhh!! Where can I find these other pen adaptors for my Cricut Explore!
