Key concepts taught in the video tutorial include how to mirror a design in Cricut Design Space, how to cut faux leather, and how to iron foil vinyl on faux leather.
While I don’t wear earrings anymore myself, I know many people who do. And I had a blast designing these earrings for you! And they were so easy to make, too! When I made my cutwork leather journal, I found it a little tricky to cut leather… but faux leather is a breeze to cut! I am super pleased with this faux leather earrings and I think you will be, too!
Faux leather is really quite thin, so you can cut it on both the Cricut Explore and the Cricut Maker with a regular fine-point blade. You can even cut faux leather with scissors. It’s a very simple, fun project, and when you’re done you get cute earrings to wear or gift to others.
HOW TO MAKE FAUX LEATHER EARRINGS WITH A CRICUT
First, pick out a design. You can download my earring designs from my free resource library ( jennifermaker.com/resource-li... ). If you’re going to cut the stencil out on your cutting machine, upload the file to your design software.
My earring designs have two layers - one is intended for the faux leather (the brown layer) and one is intended for a foil vinyl iron-on layer (the pinkish layer). If you don’t want to do the iron-on layer, they’ll look good with just the faux leather layer.
Note: When you cut the faux leather layer, be sure to select “faux leather” as your material and mirror your image. The foil vinyl layer should be set to “foil vinyl iron on” and also mirrored.
If you do decide to cut out the foil vinyl iron-on layer, you’ll want to weed the vinyl and then iron the designs onto your earrings before you go any further. I did this using my Cricut EasyPress. For faux leather and foil iron-on with the EasyPress mat, the recommended temperature is 255 for 30 seconds. Once you press your iron-on, let it cool before removing the protective liner.
Now some of the earring designs have pre-cut holes, but a few do not. Those that do not are this way on purpose so you can choose whether you want them to hang straight or curved. If you want them to hang straight, just punch a hole at the top with the leather punch and you’re good to go.
If you want your teardrop shape earrings to curve, fold the top of the earring in half (gently!) and use your hole punch to make a hole through BOTH sides of the leather.
Now it’s time to put a jump ring through the hole(s) of your earring. Use your needle nose pliers to open up a jump ring and place the end of the ring through the hole.
Now just put your earring hook through the jump ring at the top (double-check that the hook is facing the right way) and close the jump ring with your pliers. Now just rinse and repeat with your other earrings.
And that’s it! Wasn’t that easy?

I just made a few on yesterday from Cricut access, didn't realize how easy it was and now I have your beautiful designs to make more, thank you so much, please keep doing what you obviously love doing, helping others, it is very much appreciated.
So glad I started watching your videos today! I have had the materials for leather earrings sitting on my kitchen table for a year! 😔 I am now motivated to make them!!! Finding that I can add vinyl to them is wonderful. What a fun look. I bet many people feel the same.
Thank you Jennifer! The earrings are beautiful!
Just got around to watching this one today. I am
Amazed and the intricate cutting the cricut was
Capable of.
Thank you so much, Jennifer. These are awesome!!! I can't wait to try making them. Your tutorials are sooooo helpful, especially with new cricut owners.
You are so welcome, April! 😍
I don’t wear earrings myself but these would be great gifts. TFS!

This may be our (my daughter and I) first project. I love them all!
Wow! These are so gorgeous! Great designs!!
I am so glad you did this video. I want to make earrings for my sister and some friends but was not sure how they would actually look. I watched this and now am ready to give it a go. Have an idea for something special for my big sister. Thank you so much.

Excellent! Thanks Jennifer.
You make it look so easy. Thank you! On my list to do for Christmas gifts.

I love this! I so wanted to make leather earrings on my new Cricut Maker. Now I know how!
YAY! So glad!
Those are super cute. Thank you for your tutorial.
Really love these earrings especially the heart and snowflake. Thank you so much for sharing.I have an Easy Press and have not used it yet. This is a good excuse to use it!
You are so welcome, Sharon! Please, do, try out that Easy Press! You will LOVE it!!! 😍
Thanks for the tutorial. I did not know about the jump rings. What a difference that made. LOL
I love this project. I can't wait to get a Cricut to make some. The earrings turned out so beautiful. I didn't know you could do things like this with the Cricut. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
I love them!! They are so pretty!!! ♡♡
Thank you for this I’m thinking about purchasing a circut and you’ve made me have so much confidence thus far
If it's in your budget, Rylee, I hope you do! It's a game changer!!! 🥰
I love this and thank you for giving it to us. I flipped one of the plain hearts so they will look the same on both ears if that makes sense.
I love your projects your pages & way of explaining...thanks for the inspiration
You are so welcome!
Rylee, I LOVE my Cricut Maker. I had an Explore Air II for 3 years and I loved it, I now have a Maker and I love it too. Don’t be afraid to purchase, Cricut stands behind their products and there are many sites with great step by step tutorials.
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been wanting to try this!
I LOVE these designs!! PLEASE design some more!!
Here are some more designs. 💜 jennifermaker.com/diy-faux-leather-earrings/

I didn’t realize how many you could make so quickly! They are so fun!!!
They truly are Misty! :)
I love the earrings but I do think I’ll size down a bit. The designs are so fun!! Thanks Jen!
Yeah, they turned out big. I don't wear earrings so I didn't estimate the size very well initially.
Also where can I find different and unique faux leather styles and colors? Thanks
Thank you Jennifer! Amazing tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
I love these so much!
These are so cute, can't wait to make some for gifts!
Have fun! Can't wait to see what you'll make! :)

thanks for the tutorial and the patterns, they were very difficult to find in the library but I finally found the svg I have made faux leather earrings but hadn't tried the foil now I will
how did you find it in the libray im having a hard time finding it
@@yamilet6449 I had trouble too, until I used the search feature and key words. On my Mac it is Command F, on Windows it is Control F. This was a huge time saver!
These look so lovely!
Thank you! Cheers!
Can't wait to try these.
Hope you enjoy
Can’t wait to make these!
You're going to love them!

Thanks for the information and tutorial.
You are welcome, Mikhail! 🥰
Awesome! I just got an Easy Press for Christmas and I’m excited to start using it. This is such a cool idea!
thanks for this video. I always thought that leather could only be cut on the maker. Since I have the Explore Air 2 I didn't think this was possible, but thanks to you I know it is. : )
You bet, Stephenie! 😍
Good for gifts. Thanks.
They definitely make great gifts! :)
So pretty
Thanks so much!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! :)
such a cute idea!
Isn't it?! I love it! :)
Love these.
Thanks!
It definitely looks more copper than rose gold. Very pretty!
Isn't it! I love them! :)
Those are great!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! You did a great job explaining & making. I just have a few questions. 1) Why didn't you use the Cricut to make the holes in the leather for the jump rings? 2) I haven't uploaded your files yet, (I'm on my phone) would I be able to slice the holes in the svg in DS?
I'm a new fan...3) Have you made any earrings using glitter vinyl? 4) What are your thoughts about glitter vinyl & faux leather?
As always a nice tutorial
Thank you so much! :)
Too cute!
Thank you Bec! :)
Love these
Thanks so much!
Beautiful
Thank you, Sydney! 😊
beautiful got to make this for my sister
Have fun!
