Cricut Totes – Crafters On The Go

One of the many celebrated features of the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter is its compact size. It is lightweight and easy to carry, making it the perfect portable cutting machine. But of course, even the lightest, smallest machines can still be awkward to carry, so the people at Provo Craft have introduced an entire line of Cricut Totes for crafters on the move.

The Cricut Carry Tote is perfect for storing and transporting the original machine, along with your cutting mat and other associated accessories. It is foam padded to protect your Cricut from being damaged and a zipper securely keeps the contents of the bag from spilling open. The carry tote is also a stylish storage solution, in chic gray with lime green embellishments.

People who take their crafting projects on the road might prefer the Cricut Storage Tote instead. This has all the storage capacity of the Carry Tote but also features an extendable handle and wheels so that it can be pulled along behind you like a small suitcase. This makes transporting your Cricut even easier as there is no need to lift it. Extra padding makes your machine even safer with this option. The Storage Tote is colored gray and green, just like the Carry Tote.

Unfortunately, the larger Cricut Expression is too big to be carried in either the Carry Tote or the Storage Tote but the manufacturer has also created the much larger Bag especially to accommodate the Expression. Whilst the Expression is generally seen as the non-portable version of the Cricut, it can be easily transported in this fashion. Velcro straps secure the machine and a sturdy base gives extra strength and support, ensuring that the large expression will not be damaged in any way. The wheels have been strengthened to support the weight of the Expression and a convenient carry handle makes it easy to pull along.

The Cricut Shoulder Bag will also accommodate the cheap Cricut Expression, and all the smaller Cricut machines. The Shoulder Bag is just like a sports bag and is water resistant, an important quality in a bag designed to carry electrical equipment. Pockets designed to hold cartridges and accessories are located inside of this watertight seal. The Cricut Shoulder Bag has an adjustable padded shoulder strap, making it comfortable to carry.

Now I know what you’re thinking. How can you be sure that you’ll be able to fit all of your cartridges into one of these bags? You want to carry your entire collection with you just in case you need one and you don’t think the packets will be big enough. The people at Provo Craft have thought of that too. They’ve created the Cricut Messenger Tote especially for your cartridges. A handy shoulder strap makes it easy to carry the smaller carry case at the same time as the larger totes.

If you regularly transport your machines between different locations you should take measures to ensure its protection. Totes are the best way to both protect and carry your machine as they have been specially designed for the task. Buying a Cricut brand tote will ensure that you never damage that precious machine and never loose those all-important accessories.
