10 Black Friday Deals – Crafter’s Edition
Do Black Friday deals live up to the hype? The simple answer is “yes”…for certain items! I’ve scoured the deals to help you know which products are at their best prices. Here are my top bargains for crafters and DIY-ers. Most of these deals are on sale NOW.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals
My advice is always to scoop up deals on bigger ticket items if (and only if) they are on your wish list. Based on my extensive research, I’ve indicated which items are at the best prices of the year, but all are great deals.
Just remember, you don’t need fancy machines to be a great crafter or make beautiful things. I’m only sharing these products because I think they’re worth it, and I want to help you get them at the best price.
Most of these deals are live now, so don’t wait for Black Friday to grab them.
Cricut Deals and Laser Cutting Machines
I love starting with Cricut deals because I use my Cricut weekly. It’s the one tool that has completely changed how I approach crafting. Check out these Cricut project examples for details.
1. Cricut Maker 3
With the Cricut Maker 3, you can design custom t-shirts, create decals, make labels, and deboss or engrave materials. The Maker 3 is compatible with over 300 materials, so you’ll never run out of project ideas.
Not in your price range? Read on for budget-friendly options.
If you’re willing to sacrifice some functionality for a lower price, the Cricut Explore 3 is also part of the Black Friday sale and costs $100 less than the Maker 3.
2. Cricut Joy
The Cricut Joy is at the other end of the size spectrum. If you’re space-constrained but want the ability to make small projects like cards, labels, and vinyl decals (up to 4.5 inches wide), the Cricut Joy might be the answer.
3. Cricut Joy Xtra
For something in between the size of a Cricut Maker and a Cricut Joy, try the Cricut Joy Xtra. It’s fairly compact like Cricut Joy but can print and cut on larger material sizes like U.S. letter and A4.
Note: This item wasn’t on my list last year because the price hadn’t come down yet. I’m happy to add it based on the sale price now.
The price of this machine temporarily dipped to $125 in April, but the Black Friday price is nearly the same. This machine typically costs between $150 and $180.
4. Cricut EasyPress 3
It may seem silly to buy an oversized iron, but I love my EasyPress 3 because it gives consistent, beautiful results for iron-on projects. I’ve made t-shirts, infusible ink coasters, and teacher gift bags with my heat press. (Read my EasyPress 3 review for details.)
This is the lowest price available, down from a high of $159 and an annual average price of $122+.
5. Cricut Mug Press
If you love the idea of making professional-looking mugs, I highly recommend the Cricut Mug Press. I wrote a blog post on how to use the Cricut Mug Press, so you’ll have step-by-step instructions available.
This bundle with infusible ink mugs normally costs $139 or higher. It’s nice to see the price come down for Black Friday.
6. xTool Laser Cutting Machines
Have you heard about xTool yet? It’s a new line of laser crafting machines making a big splash in the crafting world. xTool is now offering a range of Black Friday discounts up to 60% off.
For small businesses looking to create laser projects at scale, the xTool P2 or xTool P2S is a great option. These machines have a more powerful CO2 laser that enables faster processing times and accommodates thicker materials.
Laser crafting has allowed me to take personalization to the next level making engraved tumblers, engraved glass jars, and wooden earrings, among other gifts.
Be sure to check out my M1 Ultra Review and Acrylic Laser Cutting Guide for more project examples.
Digital Gift Ideas
These deals are from sources I’ve used and highly recommend.
You’ll find great designs for creative projects and amazing courses to enhance your craft skills.
7. Creative Fabrica
Creative Fabrica has thousands of graphics, SVG files, fonts, laser files, courses, and other design resources. Their Black Friday Deals include special bonus offers this year that I haven’t seen before.

- Free Siser Vinyl Bundle, a $40-50 value

I’ve taught three Cricut classes on Creative Fabrica, so feel free to join me there!
8. Digital Patterns and Design Files
In my shop, you’ll find many great digital patterns and design files for Cricut and other popular crafting machines. These are perfect for making handmade Christmas gifts.
My Christmas honeycomb paper ornaments have been a big hit with customers!
Craft Supplies & Stocking Stuffers
These craft supplies are at their best prices of the year. They make excellent stocking stuffers too!
9. Sharpie Creative Brush Tip Acrylic Markers
Sharpie has upped its game with markers that work on various surfaces (metal, wood, ceramic, glass) without bleeding through the paper. I love these for rock painting, flower pot painting, and other crafts.
10. National Geographic Mega Arts & Crafts Kit
I love nothing better than passing on my crafting passion to the kids. This Mega Arts & Crafts Kit includes three crafts: mosaic art, marbling, and air-dry clay (my favorite).
Be sure to check back over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend as I’ll be updating this information whenever possible.
