We all love a good weekend crafting session, and if you have a Cricut machine sitting on your desk, your weekend plans are about to get a lot more colourful. The creative technology brand has just announced a massive expansion of its materials and accessories range across Australia and New Zealand. Rolling out now at Spotlight stores, the new lineup is packed with fresh shades and clever tools designed to make your DIY projects pop.
Riding the 2026 Colour Trends
The team at Cricut have been paying attention to what is hot right now. The expanded collection leans heavily into the biggest 2026 colour trends, meaning your custom t-shirts, water bottles, and home decor will look incredibly current.
The standout addition? Butter Yellow, which happens to be the Pantone Colour of the Year. It is a soft, cheerful shade that pairs beautifully with almost anything.
For those who love a local touch, the new Eucalyptus shade brings a beautiful, earthy Australian vibe to the table. You will also find rich tones like Burgundy (my favourite and matching the latest tech drops) alongside refreshing pastels like Honeydew and Powder Blue.
No Mat? No Worries
One of the best things I’ve discovered with my recent introduction to the Cricut ecosystem is how simple it is to use with their Smart Materials. The Smart Vinyl Permanent collection now includes vibrant options like Deep Sky and Forest Green, plus gorgeous Marina and Princess sampler packs (the girls and I call these the Troll colours because it reminds us of the movies). If you want sparkle without the mess, the Smart Shimmer Vinyl brings the glitz without leaving a trail of flaky glitter. The new Pixie and Seaglass samplers are perfect for creating standout aesthetic mugs.
For apparel, the Smart Iron-On and Smart Glitter Iron-On materials make customisation effortless. With shades like Rose Gold, Mint, and the dazzling Frog-Prince sampler, you can personalise jackets and t-shirts in minutes. These heat-transfer materials are designed to survive over 30 washes. If you prefer using a standard cutting mat, the traditional Vinyl Permanent Matte and Iron-On ranges have also received the Butter Yellow and Eucalyptus treatment, offering flawless results without bubbling.
Essential Tools Get a Modern Makeover
Cricut is also refreshing its essential tools and accessories. If your old weeding tool is looking a bit tired, you might be tempted by the brand-new Slate Blue colourway. It is a fresh, modern aesthetic that brings a calming look to your workspace.
The updated lineup covers every aspect of the making process. You will find the classic Weeder, XL Scraper, and Scoring Stylus alongside heavy-duty options like the 45mm Rotary Cutter and Truecontrol Craft Knife. Comprehensive bundles, including a dedicated Paper Making Kit and an Iron-On & Vinyl Tool Kit, ensure smooth, reliable performance while keeping your hands comfortable during marathon crafting sessions.
Availability and Pricing:
The entire new range of Cricut materials and Slate Blue accessories is available from today at Spotlight stores across Australia and New Zealand. Pricing starts at $13.95 for individual tools and $15.95 for the new Smart Vinyl rolls, making it easy to grab a few new colours without breaking the bank.
