So happy to have found this video 👍👏. I have loads of faux leather and thought of making earring but the backs bothered me, presume I can use my scan and cut to cut the shapes as you do on the Cricut. Very excited to try this. Have subscribed and look forward to the rest of your videos xx

Love all of your videos and tips. In doing the vinyl both of the ways you showed, I have found that if you apply the vinyl before cutting the process is a little easier. I just do a once over with the Easy Press after cutting and it removes the rough edges. I also love using the Heat'n Bond. Great ideas!!

When I flipped mine the other way, it worked much better with cutting a nice clean line into the iron on foil.

I do have one additional question. I was very excited about the part of the video where you showed how to remove contours in order to print the image only and then use HTV to iron on. I have tons of earring templates and this will work for some of them. But - I have a lot of templates where the image in the center, let’s say it’s a Halloween witch, is surrounded by an outline that follows around the outside of the earring. I can’t figure out how to separate the witch from the outline so that I can cut only the witch. I hope this makes sense and I wish I could upload a pic to show you what I’m talking about! Any advice is appreciated!!
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 4 года назад
@@nicolem722 Hi, Nicole. Thanks for your message. I think I'm understanding your question. I have several earring templates like the one you are describing, where the shape in the middle is attached to the rest of that earring layer shape by a thick border outline. ! Unfortunately, if the witch is connected to the larger outline, you can't separate it, even using contour. Contouring will work however if the witch shape is a distinct and completely isolated shape cut out of a larger shape. I hope that makes sense! Thank you again for your comment. :)

@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 года назад
Hi, Kelly! Thanks for your comment. Are you using thinner faux leather? Are you putting back on it? If so, is it heat transfer vinyl or another piece of faux leather? If you put something on the back, it helps keep your earrings from curling. Also, after I put something on the back, whether it's pressed vinyl or glued faux leather, I like to press the earring under something heavy to help keep it flat. Then I'll put the hooks on.

@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 года назад
Hi, Fiona! Thanks for your comment! You can use permanent vinyl on the back, but HTV blends better because it's thinner and it adheres better to the faux leather. Permanent vinyl sits on top of the faux leather, if you know what I mean. :) But it definitely will work.

Thank you for this! My faux leather is thick, with a fuzzy backing. Would I still cut it face down and mirrored when cutting with my Maker? Would I also use the settings for Paper Thin Faux Leather? Thanks!
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 года назад
Hi, yes, I would still place the faux leather face down and use the same settings. You will want to repeat the cut two or three times. If you repeat the cut three times and it still isn't cutting all the way through, I would try the Deep Point Blade instead (in the black housing). Some very thick faux leathers, like double sided ones, just won't cut using the fine point blade.

Amy, if you don't have a heat press of any kind, can you use an home iron?
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 года назад
Hi, yes you can! I recommend starting with very low heat and pressing for a few seconds at a time, keeping the iron moving. Be sure to still use a cover sheet like a Teflon sheet or parchment paper, and turn off the steam setting on the iron. :)

Hello, thank you for your comment. A SVG is a digital cutting file you can upload to Cricut Design Space so your Cricut cutting machine can cut out the design from whatever material you choose. You can upload SVG files to Cricut Design Space using a phone, a tablet, or a desktop computer. :)

Hi Amy, thanks for the information. I just tried the iron on then cut method with the settings you suggested and the cut didn't seem deep enough as it didn't cut all the way through the material. Do you have any recommendations? The faux leather I used was thick.
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 года назад
Hi, Mindy! Thanks for your comment. My first suggestion is always to repeat the cut a few times. You can do this before unloading the mat by pressing the C button again and the cut will repeat. (On the Cricut Joy, since there are no buttons, you can repeat the cut by clicking on the "rerun" prompt on the screen in Design Space.) Check each time after you repeat the cut by using a sharp tool and lifting up a corner of the faux leather to see if the cut is complete. If not, repeat again. If after 4 or so cuts the cut still isn't complete, you may want to purchase and try the Deep Point Blade. It's in a black casing and works with the Maker and Explore machines. If that doesn't work either, your material may be too thick, or cutting it with the vinyl on the back makes it too thick. I would try cutting the faux leather by itself in that case and pressing the backing on afterwards. Let me know if this helps, and what works for you!

@mindymartinez4657 2 года назад

Hi Amy, I am wondering, can you iron vinyl on the front and the back of one single piece of a faux leather earring? I want to use iron on vinyl for the "lacey" part of your butterfly wing earrings, but I also want to use iron on glitter vinyl for the backs so it's not just the "fuzzy" backside of my faux leather. My main faux leather piece (orange) is pretty thick and I think would be too much to double. Or should I iron my vinyl on the front, then use a thinner piece of faux leather for the back, iron my piece on that, then glue the 2, front and back, together? (I hope that is making sense!) LOL!! Thank you!!
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 года назад
Hi, Karla! In that case I would probably cut the vinyl for the back and press it on after cutting (if the faux leather is too thick to cut with the backing already pressed on - which happens to me if I want to put glitter HTV on the back). I would do that first and then press HTV to the front. Let me know how it comes out!

I’m just trying to figure out the sizes you make your earrings. I just can’t get sizing down.
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 года назад
Hi, Sara! Thanks for your comment. I usually size the largest shape in a set of layered earrings about 2.25" tall. Then I size down any other layers by eye so they look good and evenly spaced in size. For the width, I like to stay under 1.5" or else the earring doesn't sit right next to the face. So it a shape is more than 1.5" wide when I make it 2.25" tall, then I reduce the height until the width is good, even if that makes it shorter than 2.25" inches. I hope that helps! :)

@AmyRomeu

Hi, I would recommend covering the fringe with a cover sheet and using some low heat for a few seconds (like a Cricut EasyPress Mini or Low or an EasyPress at 265 degrees). While the flattened fringe is still warm, place something heavy on top like a book so they cool flat. Let me know if you try this trick and how it works for you!

Hi, Penney! Thanks for your comment. No, you don't have to add a back to earrings all if you don't want to!

Have you ever tried permanent vinyl instead of iron on? Just curious. 🙂
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 года назад
Hi, Starla! Permanent vinyl does work instead of HTV. However, I've found that permanent vinyl is less desirable than iron-on for two reasons. First, it is thicker than heat transfer vinyl and tends to sit up higher on the faux leather rather than blending in to the material's texture like HTV does. Also, the edges of permanent vinyl can get sticky over time. But you can definitely use it!

I prefer to put the htv on before cutting, since my cuts often have fringe or similar attributes. Unfortunately, I do not get good cuts when the htv is on... However, I also don't get any of that texturing on the edges like you do (which is good though). Any ideas to get cleaner cuts? Perhaps my htv is no good (I'm using regular htv, not foil)? It seems to have like a stretch to it... like cutting through a Bandaid placed on faux leather. I did notice part of the cut overlapped where I had placed my painters tape... and that part was cut very cleanly. Therefore, I am going to try putting a layer of painters tape on the entire piece before cutting... but if you have any other ideas I could use the help!
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 года назад
Yes, I totally understand what you mean about the bandaid effect. :) I like to use foil because it seems to minimize the rippling on the edges. I agree, the rippling seems to be greater when I use solid HTV. For both foil and regular HTV, I've been pressing the backs for a few seconds with my EasyPress Mini again and it flattens out those wrinkles. The other idea is to be sure the HTV is pressed really well onto the back of the faux leather. I like to remove the clear transfer sheet from the HTV after the first pressing and then press again, without the clear cover sheet in the way. I still use my Teflon sheet to protect my surface.

When you iron on the faux leather, doesn't it take the texture out of the faux leather?

Hi, Karrie! Thanks for your question. :) It can, if you press really, really hard. That's why I don't recommend using a traditional heat press for pressing vinyl on faux leather, because it can flatten out the leather. I find that firm, even pressure from an Easy Press or Easy Press Mini results in good adhesion without losing the faux leather texture. If you try it, let me know how it works for you!

Hi, Bessy! Since the back of faux leather is fabric, it's best to use a fabric glue of some kind. However, if white glue is what you have available, you could test out gluing two scraps of faux leather back to back with white glue. Remember to press the glued item under something heavy for several hours (overnight is best) for the best results.
