When I originally posted it, there were some technical issues with the upload so I've re-loaded it.
In this video, I share how to make faux leather earrings with a Cricut machine. It is easy to cut faux leather with a Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore Air. While you can normally cut faux leather with the normal fine tip blade, I show how to cut two types of double sided faux leather. One requires the normal fine tip blade and the other requires the deep cut blade.
I share tips and tricks for applying heat transfer vinyl to faux leather. I give some tips and things to be aware of to prevent melting the faux leather. I also share some tips for how to apply the HTV without the carrier sheet showing (indentations in the faux leather).
At the end of the meeting I also share how to assemble the faux leather earrings. DIY earrings are easy to make and make great DIY gifts. If you like DIY jewelry and are looking for a Cricut Christmas project, give this snowflake earrings diy a try.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

@lionelmarkus515 3 года назад

@Oliver Landry Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@lionelmarkus515 3 года назад

@Oliver Landry WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! Just got access to my ig login after roughly 45 minutes by using the site. I had to pay 15 $ but for sure worth the price :O Thanks so much you saved my ass!

@Lionel Markus You are welcome xD

I don’t watch a lot of long videos, but I’m glad I watched this one. Chock full of great tips, techniques, and little details! Great job! Thank you.

@nancycranmer2612 Год назад

To avoid those lines when you heat press, you can also very simply make your transfer paper the size of the entire earring rather than just the size of that snowflake. That way your lines will be off the earring on all sides. Great info. Thanks for sharing your video. Nancy

We miss you so much! In my opinion, you are the very best for teaching us how to work with faux leather. We hold all close. Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene

@teejay1956 2 года назад

Loved your video! You spoke clearly and slowly. So many people go so fast that I just shut them off as I have no clue what they're saying or doing. You explained things so well that now I'm comfortable making my own. Thx so much!! 😁

I've been doing my jump rings wrong all this time thank u so much....

@jld2075 3 года назад

Thank you for this wonderful video. Since I am rather new using my Cricut Maker, I have learned so much from your demonstration. You are a very good teacher.

@Nittyb123 Год назад

Peeling off is how I have always done it, I also cut pieces, peel off the backing and use it with my manual die cutting machine and dies for t-shirts etc.

@kelliemacosko2233 2 года назад

I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much. I’m new to the Circuit machine. You taught me a lot of good tips. Thanks!

@crystalfourrier3141 Год назад

I am brand new to making earrings and learned so much from this video. We bought a different brand of vinyl cutter and have yet to learn how to use it, but do have a laser cutter that we are using to cut leather and cut basswood covered with HTV. I was so happy to see the end of the video explaining turning the eye of the fish hook because I was wondering if I was doing something wrong when I did that.

@oldethymesfarm62 2 года назад

Beautiful earrings! Thank you for the tutorial

@tabithaellison291 Год назад

Thank you so much!!! I was dreading making these baseball earrings since I’ve melted so many others and left lines! Great tutorial!❤

@carmenaviles779 2 года назад

@debbiebeane2623 3 года назад

thank you so much. I knew there had to be away to apply vinly.

@janiceisabelle76 2 года назад

Wasn’t going to watch an hour long video but so glad I did. I learned so much, especially about the benefits of the Cricut Maker, I have a Scan n Cut and it’s not as user friendly. Highlighting the various presets makes using Cricut was very informative. Also liked your tricks about designing and assembly of your earrings, thank you and I became a new subscriber!

@ShoryoTombo 3 года назад

Your designs are beautiful!

@flossingdebi 3 года назад

Your faux leather earing tutorial is very eaxy to follow and you included great tips. You had mentioned in the video that you would link your favorite HTV that has a smaller pattern that would fit nicely onto the earrings, I couldn't find that link. Thanks for sharing.

@craftygirl4844 3 года назад

I have learned so much from you! Love the tips and tricks and that you offer your favorite vendors to purchase from! Merry Christmas!🎄🎅🏼

@myinspirationcorner4499 3 года назад

Thanks! So glad they’re helpful!

@darsmith3448 3 года назад

Oh goodie! A creator after my own heart! :) Now I am very interested in putting HTV on the FRONT of my earrings. I looked for snowflakes and found a bunch. I also received my double sided faux leather. Excited ab out those sheets, also! Thank you for the video! You are spoiling us!!! Take care!!! Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene p.s. Told the husband about your daughter's sales. He said, "As it should be." :) :) :)

@darsmith3448 3 года назад

LOL ReDux ;) It is OKay! I ordered the Total Bundle of All!

@adiphilippo Год назад

HTV....I had a suggestion when you mentioned the indentation around the faux leather, where the carrier paper makes a mark. If you cut the perimeter of the snowflake by cutting through the carrier paper, you'll end up with just the snow flake. Then you just put the snowflake down and it will not leave any marks when ironing. Or just cut the carrier sheet out larger than the tear drop and that will also work.

@suziescrapbook3574 10 месяцев назад

Where have you been? I haven’t seen much from your channel anymore. Could it be my algorithm?

@b.a.blessingstitcher 3 года назад

I’m just starting to make some earrings - mostly for myself and family and this video was so incredibly helpful. Thanks for taking the time to show us everything from start to finish!

@myinspirationcorner4499 3 года назад

Thanks Diane. So glad you found it helpful.

You have a very pleasant speaking voice, this was the first video of yours I have watched and it is awesome! I watch a ton of You Tubers and now you are on my subscription list. Things that I really appreciated were the tips-the impression of the htv carrier bugs me and that is why I found you. Loved that you showed what you were talking about as first timers wouldn't have known it was going to happen (like I did for an entire set of 35 earings...) I hated it! It wasn't very professional looking in my opinion. The snowflake cut around made sense as a hack I've also seen spacing them out prior to cutting so far so you can cut the individual piece larger than the piece it is going down on. However, you waste a lot of or some of the vinyl then. Does that make any sense? So the carrier extends beyond the leather piece you adhering to? And the pebbling thing- never saw this! Cool thing to be aware of. Love all your materials-I've only been getting generics from Hobby Lobby/Michael's/Amazon. I love your double sided. I really appreciated this video today! Thanks! Learned so so much-like the ice cube tray of precut prior to the "holiday" or "season" so you are ready!!!!

@sweettinz2401 3 года назад

Great tips and love your videos! When I try to turn the bottom hoop on the hook where the jump ring attaches it breaks off.

@encarnacionada2 2 года назад

I love all your projects I've started making earrings also but never tried putting htv on the earrings before ironing it I would cut the paper larger so it won't make indentation see if that works let me know great job awesome earrings

@konfidentlothevirgo Год назад

the lines may be eliminated covering with teflon paper & doing a 2nd press for a few more seconds

@viviandye289 8 месяцев назад

To prevent the lines use a larger piece of transfer tape

@pride3656 Год назад

Is there a way you could cut the carrier sheet when you cut the H TV so that there’s no overlay

@TheColieRO 3 года назад

Can we buy precut vinyls if we don't have a computer or a cricut?

@lindeejones8777 2 года назад

Where do u find that file for the shape of earrings your using ?

@vickibaker9258 3 года назад

What brand of HTV do you recommend?

@mychristmasemporium5927 2 года назад

Could you just cut a snow flake from the leather and then add iron after?

@eranabramovich 2 года назад

Well you get the lines when you press because you make them! what i mean by that is just cut the transfer tape bigger the the size if the earing so no lines of it are touching the leather that way you wont have any lines! am I wrong?

@dawnbaker7861 Год назад

Where do you get the designs from

@BeatlesFanSonia 6 месяцев назад

That is gingham. Where did the buffalo come from?

@eranabramovich 2 года назад

Also I am no expert but after seeing you cutting the shape of the flake from the transfer tape, why don you just run the design with a transfer on top of it that way you will have an exacted snow flake ready to press with no lines and the after pill the transfer tape!? wont that work? let me know if you try it and it works! i actually never used a circuit before, i did order one but it will take a few weeks till ill get it!

@debbushee6970 2 года назад

why didnt you just have the circut cut the carrier sheet , i think that if you just did an offset it would be easier.
