Leverback Earring Card Punch by Easy Earring Cards

Product Information

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. Of course, you don’t have to make these earrings with the foil vinyl — I just thought they looked really pretty that way. And, you can resize these earrings to suit your taste. Right now they’re definitely on the large size, but I see no problem making them smaller.

WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING FAUX LEATHER EARRING WITH A CRICUT?

Now that you know how to make earring holes in faux leather earrings… what if you want change or hide the current earring hole, or create your own earring hole? I always like to make ONE earring shape with a hole first, then DUPLICATE that shape to create the second earring.

No matter the reason, you can easily hide an earring hole to keep it from cutting by using the “Contour” feature in Cricut Design Space. 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. Much gratitude to many readers who requested this project (Lois W., Dori L., Pam C., Melissa P., Kara, Nena H., Helen L., Sarah B., Meredith B., Karen, Sandy, Julie M., Kristie G., and Dianna F.).

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 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. This is largely because the Cricut doesn’t always cut the earring hole completely through. If the hole isn’t cut completely, it’s necessary to manually punch the earring hole, and the 1/16″ hole punch results in a nice, clean earring hole cut. If the idea of endlessly searching the internet for information on how to make faux leather earrings with a Cricut sounds frustrating, I totally get it! I felt that way, too, when I was just starting out. That’s why I created my Cricut Earrings Made Easy Workshop. This instant access workshop has all the information you need to get started making earrings with your Cricut. It also includes step by step video tutorials, a printable workbook, and 12 of my best selling earring cut file templates, so you can get started making earrings right away. After uploading your earring SVGs to Cricut Design Space, you have to first UNGROUP them so you can manipulate them individually.If you make any of these faux leather earrings, please share a photo in our Facebook group, or tag me on social media with #makershowandtell. This could be because the hole is too close to the edge and you want to keep the earring hole from tearing. A Cricut cutting machine (or another cutting machine of your choice).I used the Cricut Maker, but you can use the Cricut Maker 3, the Explore Air 2 or Explore 3, or the Cricut Joy. 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.
