This DIY Rolling Cricut Craft Cart is sponsored by Kreg Tool. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was badly in need of a dedicated spot to store and organize my Cricut and craft supplies. The options I institute online were flimsy and expensive. Likewise, it didn't fit exactly what I needed. So I designed this mobile arts and crafts cart to fit all my craft storage needs. It can exist built with limited tools with the assistance of a Kreg Rip-Cut™ and a Kreg Pocket-Pigsty Jig®.

The frame of the craft cart.

Step 1. I start by cutting the 2×three lumber for the frame of the craft cart down to size.

Then I take it over to the planer to clean up the boards. Planing the 2x3s is completely optional. I practise this because 2×3 lumber is notorious for being all out of shape. But it's super cheap and sturdy.

Step 2. Using the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig® K5 create pocket holes in the 2×3 to secure the pieces of the frame of the craft cart.

Step 3. Assemble the 2 sides of the frame. Clench the pieces together to make screwing the pocket holes in place easier. I recommend using a speed square to ensure everything is foursquare.

Pace 4. Using a router and a 3/4in straight bit route downward 3/4″ deep and 1/ii″ over in the interior side of the two×iii top and lesser back and front end rails. This is optional so that the bottom and tiptop shelf sit affluent in the frame. But you do non accept to exercise this footstep. The top and bottom shelves tin can sit on top of the frame. If you exercise use a router opt for a router with a router tabular array for better command and stability over the cutting.

Step 5. Attach the front and back height and bottom rails connecting the ii side frames of the arts and crafts cart.

The shelves of the craft cart.

Step 6. Using the Kreg Rip-Cutting™ and a round saw cut downwardly the plywood to size length-wise.

Smaller cantankerous cuts can be made using a miter saw.

Step vii. Secure the top and bottom shelf with wood mucilage and screws or a brad nailer.

Footstep 8: Identify pocket holes in the eye divider board and spiral information technology in place thirteen ane/8 " abroad from the edge in the center of the bottom shelf.

I plant a speed foursquare especially helpful at this function to ensure everything was square every bit I screwed it in identify.

Step 9. Next spiral in place two smaller bottom shelves. I found that it was a lot easier cutting 4 fleck pieces of 2×iii to 4 9/16 in. to get the correct summit to spiral the boards in identify.

Step x. Then using a jigsaw I cut the corners of the 2nd shelf and screwed it in place.

Step eleven. Secure the side console to the sides of the arts and crafts cart.

Step 12. Spiral the caster wheels in place. It helps to add an additional scrap piece to the bottom so that you'll accept 4 corners to screw the caster into.

Step 13. Adhere a slice of scrap wood to the inner corners of the back of the cart. This is where you will attach the folding shelf brackets.

Footstep 14. Adhere the shelf subclass for the back and side folding panels.

And so secure the panels to the brackets. Ensure that the panels are level with the arts and crafts cart when unfolded.

Now store your Cricut and all your Cricut supplies.

I added these custom crates to the front because my supplies just hanging out looked kind of ugly and untidy. You can do the same or observe baskets that work within the space.

I absolutely love how this instantly provided some order to the chaos of my craft supplies. I added some J-hooks to the sides and back under the folding panel to hang my Cricut mats and veneer sheets. The back I'g able to hang the long 12x 24 Cricut mats.
