At OMAH, a significant portion of our branded merchandise is crafted in-house, thanks to the creativity and dedication of our museum volunteers. The design process is facilitated using a specialized material cutter known as a Cricut. Notable examples of merchandise crafted with the Cricut include vibrant summer camp t-shirts, stylish tote bags, and charming aprons.

Working with the Cricut is an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. We encourage our volunteers to familiarize themselves with this cutting-edge machine by creating a personalized memento for themselves. It’s not just about creating merchandise; it’s about fostering a sense of artistic exploration and self-expression.

Join us in the exciting journey of crafting unique and meaningful items that reflect the spirit of OMAH. Discover the joy of bringing your creative visions to life with the Cricut, and let your imagination flourish!
