I use it in the box, which makes a great shelf for some stuff I have on a shelf in the garage LOL.
You could definitely do that with a cricut, but not sure how well they would stay adhered if they were exposed to rain and the elements if used alot. When I used mine it was for inside projects.
Good to know!I sew costumes, so i use a die-cut machine (mine is a Silhouette) to make fabric appliques and rhinestone patterns.
If you think you might want to do rhinestones, go with Silhouette, as the Cricut software doesn't do them. (What I mean is that the software analyzes the image, converts it to size, and tells me how many stones of each size and color I will need to create it. I can then cut it as a transfer template, or just use it as a purchasing guide for the stones, which is a big money-saver.)
