My Cricut Maker will be here Tuesday, I'm excited and nervous. I wanted to add more to my beaded jewelry business, such as leather earrings and mugs. This is a good video💜
Great video! Just getting started with making leather earrings. For the oval jump rings, would you use 6mm as well? I didn't see the link for the jump rings. Thanks for all the awesome tips.
I'm pretty sure these are 6mm. Although this genuine leather was actually pretty thin so I may have used 4mm. I use the smallest I can for a tight fit. Usually the thickness of the two materials drives me to a 6mm.
Hi Amanda. The Cricut Explore Air 2 is perfect if you'll be cutting paper, vinyl, and other basic materials. It even cuts faux leather and basic genuine leather. If you're wanting to cut thicker leathers, certain woods, etc, then you'll need to go with the Cricut Maker. One isn't harder to use that the other so you'll want to go with the one that cuts the materials you want to cut. If you can afford the Maker, I'd probably go with that one so you'll have flexibility as your needs change. amzn.to/3lZ5cU4
