🧵 What Are Cricut Club Badges?

Badges are mini milestones you earn by completing creative sections in the Cricut Club Handbook. Think of them like crafting achievements-each one marks a skill you’ve learned, a project you’ve completed, or a new material you have mastered!.

You’ll find badge checklists throughout the Handbook, with space to check them off and keep track of your progress.

🏆 Why Are Badges So Fun?

Here’s what makes them such a game-changer for your crafting journey:

• They give you direction – Not sure what to make next? Just pick a badge and start there.

• They track your progress – It's easy to forget how far you’ve come. Badges help you see your growth!

• They’re super motivating – Earning a badge feels good. It’s like a gold star for your creative brain.

• They encourage play- Many badges push you to try something new or stretch your style in a fun way.
