Cricut Setup: A Complete Guide for Easy Installation

A few days ago, I got a new Cricut machine. I have been using the older version, but I moved to the latest one because it has many incredible features. After a long time, I had to perform the Cricut setup. If you are a beginner and don’t know much about how to setup Cricut, you are in the right place!

 

I have noticed among novice crafters that they are afraid to set up their Cricut machines. I also felt the same way. Anyway, I have now come up with the best and easiest way to explain everything about setting up the Cricut machine. Let’s delve into the blog below, and let me guide you through setting up the machine in no time. I will explain for Windows computers only. Let’s get started!

 

Step 1: Unboxing Your Cricut Product


 

Before the Cricut setup, you need to unbox your machine. Inside the machine, you will get many items, including accessories. Have a look at the following list of items:

 

●     Cricut Machine

●     Welcome Book

●     Rotary Blade With Drive Housing

●     USB Cable

●     Power Adapter

●     Free Trial Membership to Cricut Access

●     Premium Fine-Point Blade With Housing

●     Fine Point Pen (Black)

●     Materials For A Practice Project

●     Warranty Document

●     Fabric Grip Machine Mat

●     Lightgrip Machine Mat

●     50 Free Ready-To-Make Projects, Including 25 Sewing Patterns

 


 

Step 2: Power on the Cricut Machine

First, you need to plug the power cable into the Cricut machine. Then, plug the other end of the cord into the power wall outlet. Now, you have to pull the lid to open it gently. Afterward, remove all the foam pieces from the clamps. Next, hit the power button on the top of your machine. Once you have turned on the machine, proceed to the following step.

 


 

Step 3: Connect Cricut to a Computer via Bluetooth

Establishing a connection is a must for the Cricut setup. Let’s connect the Cricut product to the PC using Bluetooth. Although we can connect Cricut with a USB cable, I often prefer a wireless connection.

 

  1. Head to the Windows icon on the taskbar.
  2. Click on it and select a gear-like icon, i.e., your Settings > Devices.


 


  1. Then, select Add Bluetooth or other device.
  2. Next, click on the Bluetooth option and let your PC find your Cricut machine.


  1. Once your Bluetooth detects the machine, click on the model name from the list. 
  2. Now, you have connected your Cricut to a Windows computer via Bluetooth.

 

Step 4: Downloading the Cricut Software

Here are the steps to download the Cricut Design Space app, which is a must-have software for the Cricut setup:

 

  1. Head to the browser search bar and type the URL design.cricut.com.
  2. Next, tap on the Enter key on your keyboard.
  3. Later, you will go to a page where you must select a checkbox.
  4. Now, click on the Download tab to download & install the Cricut app.
  5. Once the download has begun, follow the instructions on the display to install the application.

 

Once you have downloaded the app, you need to connect your Cricut to your Windows computer using Bluetooth.

 

Step 5: Creating a Cricut Account ID

Now, let’s create a Cricut account, which is essential for the Cricut setup. Below, I have explained everything stepwise to make you understand easily:

 

  1. Visit design.cricut.com on your internet browser.
  2. Then, click on the Get Started button on the screen.


  1. Enter your details, including your name, last name, and email address. Also, select a country such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
  2. Here, you will need to read the Cricut terms of use and click on the checkbox to accept it.
  3. If you want to receive Cricut tutorials, you will need to check the box that says Send me Cricut Tutorials, inspiration, and deals via email.


  1. Once everything is done, click on Create User ID.
  2. Lastly, you will be asked some questions, answer them, and proceed by following all the prompts.
