Built around how Cricut crafters actually work

  1. The craft room is inventory now

    Once you're selling, the vinyl wall and blank bins are business assets. Counting them turns 'I think I have that color' into a real answer, and the next haul into a planned order, not a splurge.

  2. One project, four materials

    A layered tumbler uses three vinyl colors, tape and a blank. A recipe with every material totals the whole build, so the price covers everything the design touched.

  3. Scraps feel free; margins say otherwise

    Cutting a decal from a scrap still consumed vinyl you paid for. Footage-based recipes with a waste share keep 'free scraps' from hiding your real material cost.

  4. Pricing handmade in a marketplace of hobbyists

    When others price at supply cost, your numbers are the defense. Knowing a tumbler truly costs $4.85 makes the $22 price a stance, not an apology.

Worked example

Layered Vinyl Tumbler (20 oz), costed line by line

This is the math Keepsel does for every product you make: every line from its recipe, updated whenever a material's price changes.

Layered designs multiply vinyl use: the recipe counts every layer so the price does too.

Track everything that goes into a Cricut project

From raw materials to the finished piece, Keepsel keeps Cricut crafters on top of:

  • vinyl by the foot
  • transfer tape
  • laminate
  • backing paper
  • ink
  • packaging

A day in Keepsel, for Cricut crafters

Step 1

Count the craft room in

Vinyl by the foot, blanks by the piece, cardstock by the sheet: the stash becomes stock.

Step 2

Recipe every project you sell

Each design lists its vinyls, blank and packaging, so its cost is the sum of what it uses.

Step 3

Cut, craft and log

From the Maker plan, a work order for eight tumblers draws down three vinyl colors and eight blanks, and adds eight finished pieces to stock (work orders up to 10 a month on Maker as a trial and 100 on Team, unlimited on Business and Enterprise).

Step 4

Restock like a buyer, not a browser

From the Maker plan, low-stock alerts on the colors and blanks your sellers use keep the machine cutting, and impulse hauls in check.

Questions Cricut crafters ask

How do I turn my Cricut hobby into a business?

Start by counting: what supplies you hold, what each project costs, what each sale earns. Inventory and per-project costing are the difference between selling crafts and running a craft business, and they take an afternoon to set up.

How should I price Cricut-made items?

Total the blank, every vinyl layer, tape and packaging, add your design and weeding time, then margin. Layered projects often use 2–3× the vinyl of a simple decal, priced right when the recipe counts each layer. From the Maker plan, Keepsel counts that time in each product's cost.

How do I track vinyl scraps and partial rolls?

Track rolls by footage and give each project its share in the recipe. Scrap-cut projects still consume footage you paid for, so your costs stay honest even when you're being thrifty.

Can I track blanks for lots of different project types?

Yes: tumblers, shirts, mugs, signs and cardstock each live as their own counted materials. One craft room, many product lines, all costed from the same tracked shelf.

Is Keepsel overkill for a small Cricut shop?

It starts at exactly your size. Starter is free for 30 days: a handful of materials and the question 'what does this cost me?'. Work orders and low-stock alerts come from the Maker plan, when the orders say you need them.
