How To Cut Faux Leather With Cricut - Tips & Tricks for Making Faux Leather Earrings

After spending two days making earrings, out of all sorts of different faux leathers, I have a better idea of which settings work..  Although I admittedly still have a lot to learn!  These are all the things that worked, and did not work, for me as I made what feels like a zillion pairs this week.

Getting Started With Cricut - By Project

Getting Started With Cricut - By Material Type

The first thing I try to tell everyone when they first get a cricut is "don't try to learn it all at once."

What you need to know to make a t-shirt is so different than what you need to know to make a card.  What you need to know to cut a felt flower is completely different than what you need to know to make a print then cut sticker.  

But where do you start for each of those things?  Here.  Start here.

  I don't have tutorials for each of those things, but I do know a lot of bloggers and crafters that I trust, so when I don't have the answers, I'll direct you to them.  

First - 

The Absolute Basics You Will Want To Know For Every Project Type:

 

10 Quick Things Every New Cricut Owner Should Know

Things like what is an svg, why you do NOT need to pay for Cricut Access, and a few other absolute basics.   

 

How To Switch From Cut, To Draw, To Print Then Cut, & More In Design Space

Now On To The Resources By Project Type:

Tips, Tricks & Tutorials For Crepe Paper Flowers

Most of the time, hand cutting these will be SO much faster and easier.  But using a cutting machine can be helpful for the detailed centers, and for the templates for hand cutting

 

Tips & Tricks For 
Cutting Faux Leather
With a Cricut Air 2 

A rotary blade often works best for faux leather projects, but for years, I used a Cricut Air 2 [still my favorite machine] and cut faux leather often. The Above link shows the settings I used for various types.

My Cricut Projects In 2018


Year In Review - My 2018 Cricut Projects
(Most have the how to, or a link to the tutorial or step by step, in the descriptions)


One of my biggest projects this year, and also my favorite.  I asked the kids what their favorite books were while growing up here, and then added my husband and my favorites, and used them to decorate our steps.  This looks so much better in person...  it makes me smile every night as I head upstairs!  


Faux Leather Earrings
I was excited to find that the Air2 does a great job cutting faux leather, and the regular blade that comes in the machine really did the best job for the detailed cuts in the fancier patterns.  I made SO many pairs of these this year  - definitely one of my favorites!


Birth Announcement Elephants
I made a couple of these for friends and family this year - I LOVE them!  They are pretty easy too!

Umbrellas
I've been using htv on umbrellas - and I love it!  They hold up great.  Keep your temp low, and press in very short bursts.

Pillows!  
I made a LOT of pillows this year!
How to sew the super simple envelope covers - 

Patriotic American Flower
Paper flowers are really not my thing. I struggle with most paper crafts...  but this flower I REALLY loved, and it is one of the few paper projects I'm pretty proud of.


Wedding Things
My niece got married this year - I had fun making things for her shower and wedding!


 
 

Thrift Store Redo's
Basically, I love to find items at the thrift store, paint them with smokey beige rustoleum spray paint, and add viny;  :-)
https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2018/01/thrift-store-redo-simple-vinyl-transfer.html

 Lampshades
Vinyl inside the lampshade - so the design only shows when the light is on.  Use 651, mirror the image.  I LOVE doing this!


 

 So many t-shirts....
Mostly for my grandsons, but in general, I just make a LOT of shirts!
Truck & Tractor Shirts
https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2018/11/truck-tractor-and-construction.html
RED Friday Shirts
With two boys in the Air Force, and one deployed part of the year...  I made more of these than anything else.



Print Then Cut Sticker Coloring Book



Reverse Canvas
A reverse canvas is when you buy a cheap canvas, and take it apart, staining or painting the wood frame inside, and using the vinyl on the inside, rather than on the outside
Step By Step:

A quick Dollar Tree Project
Three foam pumpkins, spray painted and stacked, 651 vinyl

Travel Tissue Cover Keychains
A VERY simple sewing project, enhanced with htv
https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2018/02/travel-tissue-cover-keychains-decorated.html
Key Fobs
The fabric was cut with the Air 2 - you have to bond it first, but that works well for this project.  Still, I think a rotary cutter is SO much faster - cutting fabric on the cricut is not really worthwhile for me.  I was just experimenting with these, to see if I could do it.

On This Day, Under These Stars Ornament
How to make floating Christmas ornaments with customized star maps
I didn't get too many Christmas ornaments made this year - but I did get to these, and I love them! 

Pot Holders

Red Truck Snow Globe
Valentines


Family Trees
There are two of these, and they are not quite done..  but I do still have a couple of days left in this year to finish them!
