50 T-Shirts to make & celebrate any special occasion
365 Days a year, 365 special occasions and each an opportunity to create and make a do it yourself T-Shirt. Cricut offers DIY enthusiasts the ease and comfort of creating t-shirts for every special occasion on demand. Your only limitation is you - and with the Easy to follow system of design inspiration found on Design Space to having access to in person sessions and educational support - everyone can now make a t-shirt in just 3 easy steps.
Behind the glitz and glam of working at Cricut its all fun and games for our Sales and Marketing Director Martin Kruger. What few may know, Ok who am I kidding, everyone knows he loves making t-shirts and he is a “bok vir sports”.
So when the opportunity arises to have a little fun behind the scenes with Martin we take it. And lets just say we haven’t laughed this much in a long time, and I may have enjoyed it more than everyone else.
One man and 23 T-Shirts all worn at the same time. When the idea was pitched where we keep on adding T-Shirts over each other, and at the end Martin falls over from the weight it sounded like fun. It was fun! until the shirts got smaller and smaller, Martin got bigger and it got hotter inside of all those layers. And when it came to taking off the shirts we needed a very strong Production crew guy to peel back the layers. Exhausted from all his acting skills and personas performed, Martin still had one last BOO inside of him - accompanied by a low down crouch and high jump. Thank you for entertaining the crazy ideas, the crazy t-shirts, the sports, the laughs and above all showing off your acting skills. Now we know what we didn’t knowMartin can act, looks great in pink - but above all he makes a mean t-shirt model!
