10 Best Cricut Accessories UK 2024 | Essential Tool Set, Soft Grip Mat and More

If there's one thing that every Cricut owner should buy, it's the Basic Tool Set. Comprised of five pieces, including the underrated scraper, this is the perfect collection of items to have on hand, no matter the project.

When compared to the price of other Cricut accessories, the Basic Tool Set is an absolute steal, especially when you consider the cost of buying each piece individually. If you've just bought your cutting machine, or are thinking of investing in one, we'd strongly recommend picking this up as well!

If you're planning on picking up all the different blades and rollers available for your cutting machine, you'll want a neat and easily accessible way to store them all. Luckily, Cricut's Machine Tool Organiser is the perfect way to house your attachments.

The clear dome helps you find exactly what you need at a glance, and the two-tiered design lets you hang certain attachments from the upper shelf while storing others at the bottom. You'll be surprised how much you can fit into this ingenious compact device!

If you find yourself travelling with your Joy, or prefer to pack it away safely after use, the Joy Tote will be your new best friend. It has a padded interior for a nice snug fit, and plenty of pockets for your cutting mats, pens, and cables.

Having everything to hand in one bag is incredibly useful, and we think the cost is more than reasonable for the perfect fit. After all, a dedicated bag is much better than having your pieces scattered around the place or kept in a biscuit tin!

This extra-long, Light Grip Mat is the perfect accessory for those who work with paper and cardstock. Whether you make greetings cards, decorations, or stickers, you'll get plenty of use out of this accessory!

Cricut Cutting Mats have been specifically designed to work with certain materials, offering the right level of grip for each item. They are double-sided and self-healing, meaning that any cuts into the mat will close up again, as if brand new!

As the Cricut Joy is a considerably smaller machine than the Explore or the Maker, it has its own range of compatible accessories to fit its compact size. This cutting mat is designed to perfectly fit the Joy and is ideal for anyone making their own card designs.

Slot the greeting card into the mat and simply pop it into the machine to create your own personalised designs in a matter of minutes! Whether you run a small business, or have a project in mind for an upcoming birthday, this mat will help you create memorable cards with ease.

If you're working with fabrics, then this cutting mat is a must-buy to keep your materials securely in place! The high quality, extra dense material is long-lasting and capable of handling the increased pressure of tailor's accessories, making it a no-brainer at such a low price.

This cutting mat compatible with all the Cricut Maker and Explore series, but not the Joy due to its size. It even comes with a 1-year warranty!

Going hand in hand with the Fabric Grip Mat is the 60 mm rotary cutter, which offers a faster and more precise way of cutting fabric than scissors. It can even slice through thick materials, like denim or layered fabrics, and features a quick-release blade cover for safety when not in use.

The only downsides are that the quick-release blade button can be a little awkward to use, and those not working with fabric will have no need for it. However, this is an absolute necessity for those working with large quantities of fabrics.

The Cricut Essential Tool Set is comprised of seven pieces designed to help you get the most out of your machine. It has everything you need to snip, trim, score, and much more, making this the perfect companion to the Explore, Maker, and even the Joy!

While a little expensive, the Essential Tool Set is exactly what it says on the box. Whether you're working with paper, card or vinyl, this set will allow you to precisely and confidently complete any project you have in mind.

For those working with fabrics, the Cricut Sewing Kit should be a no-brainer. It contains all the essential tools for working with tough materials like leather, denim, or layered fabrics, making it perfect for apparel and quilting projects!

Those looking for versatility won't find much here as, aside from the scissors, these tools are all aimed specifically at sewing and textiles. That said, for any budding tailors out there looking to experiment with different designs, you won't be dissapointed!

Too often you'll find yourself needing to replace a dull blade in the middle of a project. While it may not technically be an accessory, it's always a good idea to have a spare blade for your Cricut Joy handy, just in case!

If you're using your Joy regularly, especially with slightly thicker cardstock, your blade will eventually dull. That's why it's worth picking up a spare or two, even if it's not the most exciting addition to your collection.
