Amazon Prime Day is a once-a-year HUGE sale at Amazon — like, 100,000 items get put on sale. It’s bigger than Black Friday for Amazon. I’m a Prime member (and you have to be to get these deals) and I’ve been shopping Prime Day for a while now. But I recently learned that it is possible to find out in advance what things are going to go on sale. I looked and I found some really interesting DIY & CRAFT deals I’ll be adding to my shopping list for myself and my family — and I thought you might like to know about these deals, too. But be warned — it’s addicting.
Prime Day is over for 2018, but is expected to return in 2019! When it does, I’ll update this post again.
This post contains some affiliate links for your convenience (which means if you make a purchase after clicking a link I will earn a small commission but it won’t cost you a penny more)! Read my full disclosure policy.

- Instant Pot Duo 6 Qt – NOW on sale, great deal! I got one of these for Christmas and love it!

Note that you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of these deals. But the good news is that Amazon Prime offers a free 30-day trial to those curious about trying the service. To access it simply click this link and follow the on-screen prompts. This is how I ended up with Prime — I signed up for a free trial and stuck around because of the free 2-day shipping and free movies. Tip: Anyone with a valid .edu email address can sign up for a 6-month free trial for Amazon Prime Student here.
Money-Saving Bonus Tip: Right now you can get a FREE $10 Amazon credit when you download and sign-in to the Amazon mobile app for the very first time! (This deal is only for people who have never used the Amazon mobile app before.)
Tip: I recommend you click “Watch Deal” for anything that interests you. Then you can monitor your deals on this page.
I will add to this list as I find more deals I think could help you. Set your alarms and have fun shopping! Let me know what you scored.
I hope this list helps someone! I know it’s helping me.
Love,

July 11, 2017 at 3:39 pmCan you recommend a heat press for those startng to work with vinyl? Since it’s prime day at Amazon I’d love to buy a reasonably priced once but not one for $400;.00 or more.
Jennifer says
July 11, 2017 at 3:44 pmHi, JoAnn! I wish I could, but I’ve never even used a heat press myself, and I wouldn’t want to recommend something I don’t know anything about. But if I hear of good recommendations or deals from others, I’ll post them here. 🙂
Jennifer says
July 11, 2017 at 5:10 pmJoAnn, I found a heat press at a great price and with good reviews. Recommended by another crafter! 60% off the normal price. Check it out: http://amzn.to/2u5rvzm

Kendra W. says
July 17, 2018 at 3:26 pmJennifer, I splurged yesterday and bought the Cricut Air 2 Rose bundle. I will need help using this new cricut hopefully from one of my local friends. Not sure what I’ll do with old Cricut Expression. Any suggestions?
Jennifer says
July 18, 2018 at 1:37 pmYay! Congratulations, Kendra! You’re going to love the Cricut Explore Air. As for your Cricut Expression, why not gift it to someone who might have a use for it? 🙂
Terri says
July 17, 2018 at 10:55 pmYour not kidding about the easy press on prime day. Thank you so much for the info I was able to snag one and only a few minutes later they were gone.
Jennifer says
July 18, 2018 at 1:36 pmHooray! Glad you got an Easy Press!
Linda Massie says
July 18, 2018 at 3:27 amThanks for reminding me about the Amazon Prime SALE, I was able to order the easy press and the light box with only 14 minutes left to order, I appreciate all your help with the classes you offer about the cricut machines. I am totally hooked, I bought the Explore air2 a month ago and then I ordered the rose MAKER off of HSN with the tool package included. Love it all, THANK you so much!!!
Jennifer says
July 18, 2018 at 1:36 pmMy pleasure, Linda! Always happy to help. 🙂
