I really wish I had know about the glitter trick on the cutter board BEFORE NOW!! I have glitter all over one of my boards I can't seem to get off now. 😭 thanks for the tip now. This was awesome!
would love the tutorial on the glass cabochon. You do such a great job at instructing us so clearly. I usually make earrings for gifts but thought I would venture into selling them to recoup some of my expenses . thank you so much
Hi, thanks for your email! I'm so glad you liked this project, and you find the instructions helpful. :) It's my pleasure. I love teaching and sharing.
I am so happy your video came up on my feed! What a great tip for using the transfer tape for keeping glitter off of your mat and the repeat tip! So excited to try this!new subbie! Blessings from Kansas
Your videos are so clean and professional and as a newbie to cricut, you have helped me out more than you could know! Thank you so much for your videos
Hi, Tammie! I'm glad you like this video! Thanks for watching! This link will take you to my video on using photos underneath glass cabochons (or UV resin): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZwOpFj5Y85Q.html
Hi, Colleen! The links are all in the description. On mobile it can be hard to find the description. :( It may be easier for you to get the link on my blog post. They are all listed in the Materials section of my tutorial here: amyromeu.com/how-to-make-stud-earrings-cricut/
Hi Amy! just found your channel and I am binging on all your tutorials - did you actually use and add the glass dome that comes with the bezels for the studs? or do you have another tutorial where you show what kind of glue to use for the glass part? Not sure if you ever did the other tutorial with paper in the bezel? thanks in advance!
Hi, Pamela! I use Yellow Top Gorilla Glue for gluing a glass cabochon on, but there are a lot of other options too, like Dimensional Magic or Loctite Gel glue.
I work with clay for my earrings but would love to try printed papers or glitter paper, I never see prints on the papers in Michaels.. where can I get some? ty
Hi, great question! At Michael's you'll want to look in the paper packs that have assortments of prints and patterns inside. What's nice about those is they color coordinate and look great together in sets. :) You'll find them in the paper section, there are usually 12x12, 8.5x11 and 6x6 sizes. They look like pads of paper.

Hi, I guess the ones I originally bought are sold out. :( I cut my own with my Cricut! You can get my earring card SVG bundle in my shop here: shop.amyromeu.com/products/earring-cards-bundle
What a great video!!! Thank you so much! I would love the cabochon video tutorial. My mind is racing with ideas now. So happy to have stumbled upon your videos.
Hi, Yvette! I'll have it up in the next two weeks! It took me a while to figure out how to show you what I do without using a paid software. I wanted to show everyone a free option! I've got it figured out and I can't wait to share.
Merry Christmas I just love crafts and want to make stuff for myself and friends not to sell don’t know if I have the energy or the space for a set up.
@@AmyRomeu I was looking at circut last night I on the fence should I get one or not what would you suggest I don’t gift alot I use to I make hoop beaded earrings and wear them just I admire didn’t stuff on Facebook but dang shipping is expensive and I understand why I make homemade soap and that’s expensive to ship I don’t sell it because people don’t want to spend money around here on soap they will take it all day for free lol any way glad I found you to watch your uploads.
Loooooveee... this video!! OMG thank you so much! I am always thinking about all those scrap pieces of leather that I continue to hoard. 😬 Thank you so much again Amy! I love all your videos tutorials, ideas and projects.
Just watch your video great video really enjoy watching it, very helpful to me as a newbie with Circuit thank you very much for sharing! Subscribed to your channel Liz ❤
Hi I love the post earrings I do not like to wear hanging and If I do make any I would like to try both and give as gifts. I just got a Cricut Maker and this looks like fun!!! TY so much !!
Hi, Chris! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed this video! I hope you enjoy your Cricut Maker! If you are on Facebook, I'd love for you to come and join my free crafting group, Get Crafty with Amy Romeu. We have lots of earring makers and Cricut crafters in the group. They are all very helpful and love to share their designs, tips, and tricks.
Hi, thank you for your comment, Tiiu! I see that the seller changed the item they are selling using that link, and I can't find other cards with 3 sets of holes. I'm sorry! Hopefully the seller is just out of stock and will switch the item back when they get more in.
Do you put the little glass pieces on top of the faux? I have the studs like this, and tons of scrap pieces of faux but I can't get the glass pieces to stay. They will pop into the cabochon tray without anything in it but not with anything in it? What is the best way to do this?
Hi, Bridgit! I only put the glass cabochon on top of a paper circle with a printed design, not faux leather circles. For faux leather I just leave it uncovered for a natural look. For designs I cut from photo paper, I use yellow cap Gorilla glue to glue the glass cabochon on top.
Hi, Jeanette! I am using a Cricut Maker. It's an electronic cutting machine that works with a computer, phone, or tablet. It works with a design software called Cricut Design Space. The Cricut works when the user uploads a cutting pattern called a SVG (scalable vector graphic) to Cricut Design Space and then sends the digital pattern to the Cricut cutting machine to cut out the pattern. I have a RU-vid video on how to make earrings with the Cricut Maker here that will tell you more about how it works: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bt_ppHFXVdU.html
Hi Amy, thanks for this tutorial! Super cute and fun! Question...how do you store your faux leather? I love your vinyl wall hanging organizer you made, but I have a ton of rolls of faux leather that don't stay on the roll once you start using them, and I have also ordered it by the sheet before, or larger roll, but there's no cardboard tube or anything so it wouldn't work to hang on the wall!! Thanks for any ideas you might have!! :)
Hi, Karla! Thanks for your comment. I store my faux leather in an IKEA Alex wide drawer cabinet. I sort them by type (holidays, glitter, solids, etc). I then store scraps in an IKEA storage box. Nothing fancy! If you do want to roll your faux leather, have you tried using slap bracelets to keep them rolled tightly? I use them for my vinyl rolls and I love them. Let me know what you end up doing, I'm always interested in hearing other ideas for storage! :)
@@AmyRomeu That's an excellent idea! I do like those cabinets! Thank you for taking the time to respond so quickly! I do want to make one of the hanging vinyl holders with the slap bracelets, that's such a genius idea! I don't think my short rolls of faux leather would be thick enough, but I guess if I left them on the tubes they might hold! I'll have to give it a shot! Thank you again!!!
I would love to see a video about adding the glass cabachon. I would like to know how to make the glue invisible. I am having so much fun watching your video. I’ve learned sooo much!!!
Hi, Julia! I've seen anywhere from $6 to $12 for 3 pair. Genuine leather ones can go for more. It depends on where you are selling and how you price your other items, too. If you're already selling earrings, you can offer a set of 3 as an add on bonus purchase for a lower price, let's say $6 for a set of 3 or $10 for 6 sets. They are a good way to bump up the total order price!
Hi, LaRonya! No, I don't, I like to see the original texture of the faux leather or glitter. But you can if you want! I would suggest Mod Podge or Triple Thick if you want a simple sealer, or you could use resin for a thick and high gloss finish.
Brand new to cricut maker owner, and new to faux leather. Thank you so much for making this video. Just looking to make small cuts out of faux leather and to see how to work with it into my crafting and sewing. This video was so helpful.
Hi, Amy! Thanks for your comment. I'm so glad you found this video helpful. :) Let me know if you have any questions in the future - I'm always happy to help!
Thanks for your comment! When I'm sizing, I Google the mm conversion to inches. Just search "15mm to inches" and it will pop up. 15mm is .59 inches. Then I create a circle in Design Space that's .59 inches wide and make a test cut. I adjust the size a little as needed and keep test cutting on scraps before I start cutting a lot of circles in the new size. :) Let me know how that goes!
Do you think that hot glue would work for making studs? I would only be using buttons and trinkets like that and it’s for personal use but do you think that would be safe and kind of durable?
Hi, Lilia! Thanks for your comment. :) Hot glue may work - my only concern would be can you pull the buttons off the studs after they are glued? I would test one out and see!
They are just circles, Vicki, so you could recreate them yourself in Silhouette Studio. The most common size is 12mm, so you can draw a circle that size or covert the mm size to inches and create a circle that size.
Does anyone know where I can find studs that are magnetic to make these earrings? Amy if you have an affiliated link please send it my way!!! :) Thank you in advance for any help!
Hi, Kim! I haven't seen any magnetic studs, and I just did a quick search for you and didn't see anything now either. One thing you could do is buy the magnetic earring parts and the stud parts, and then cut the post off of the stud and glue the stud to the magnet. It would take some testing and experimentation to see if you can cut the post off so it's flush with the back of the stud so you can glue it flat. Let me know if you try it, or if you find magnetic studs! You've got me intrigued!
@@AmyRomeu Hey Amy I have been making lots and lots of cabochon earrings and having the time of my life...all thank to you sharing your talent with the crafting world...now off to try the druzy cabochons with leather hee hee I am loving this :0)
I got about 2 minutes into your video and went to Amazon and ordered about $50 worth of stuff. This looks like so much fun for my craft shows. Thank you
Thanks for your comment, Susan! That makes me so happy to hear. At first I thought you were going to say you got 2 minutes into my video and fell asleep. Ha ha! I hope you enjoy making studs - they really are fun, and it feels great to be able to repurpose scraps that would normally be thrown away!
I especially like that you show alternatives to using the cricket I sold my cricket I'm using a sizzix big shot plus right now to cut most of my things so I was really happy to see the alternative method
Hi, Susan! I don't if it's faux leather. When I made stud earrings with an image from photo paper, I cover it with a glass cabochon. Many of these stud kits come with the glass cabochons included.
Hi, Sheryl! Thank you for your comment. That's an amazing compliment! We are not related, but she is my crafting mentor and I've been learning from her (online) for over two years. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you again.
