Vinyl+ Cutting
The Hub features a Cricut Maker 3, a Cricut Venture and a Cricut Auto Press, allowing you to cut and create with vinyl, paper, and more.
Creating a project begins with Cricut Design Space. The computers in the Maker’s Space all have Cricut Design Space installed and connect wirelessly with the Cricut machines.
Check out the boxes with free scrap materials. We also have supplies available for purchase in the Hub, or you can bring your own. Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, Wal-Mart, and Target are all located nearby and carry a wide variety of vinyl, paper, and blank fabric products.

Transfer tape is a sticky sheet used to temporarily hold adhesive vinyl designs in place, allowing you to easily transfer them from their backing paper to a desired surface, like a wall, cup, etc. (You do not usually need transfer tape for iron-on vinyl.)

This sticker paper will allow you to create high, quality waterproof stickers using a printer and the Cricut Maker. Use Cricut Design Studio to design your stickers or decals.
