Fall Cutting Board

When it comes to using a Cricut, there is so much you can do with them! The great thing about using the Cricut or a cutting board is that you don’t have to use a bunch of supplies. In fact, the list is pretty short! And, the materials will go far, if you know how to use them and what to use them for! 

I love the farmhouse style. I guess you can say it is most likely because I live on a very large fruit and vegetable farm. Farmers help feed America and I am proud to say that my family definitely does their part. That is why I created this fun Farmer’s Market Cutting Board. The meaning is special and it’s important to support our local farmers.

Here is how I made this easy DIY Farmhouse Style craft project.
