nana c Thank you for the comment. I’m glad you found it helpful! I use the hole punch in the video to punch the earring holes in the faux leather. It is a 1/16” hole punch, so the hole is very small and the perfect size for faux leather earrings. :)

Hi Amy! I just got done making a pair of watermelon slice earrings and I’ve watched a few of your other tutorials. They are so easy to follow and I’m learning so much from you so thank you! I was just wondering if you would put any kind of backing on these earrings? Or not necessary since there are three layers. Thank you again for the great videos!

@AmyRomeu

Hi, Tina! For multi-layered earrings, I only but a backing (like heat transfer vinyl) on the bottom layer. I hope that helps! :)

Hi! Great tutorial ! I didn't know the joy could handle material like this. How do you go about choosing the material? Does it have to be a certain thickness? Thank you!

@AmyRomeu

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Andrea! Yes, it can! Honestly, 99% of the faux leather sheets you can buy are the right thickness (that being said, I would avoid double sided faux leathers, because they are too thick to cut well). I have a post on my blog about the best places to buy faux leather, if you want to check it out: amyromeu.com/best-places-buy-faux-leather-cricut-earrings/

I did. I just got my cricut 2 days ago and I feel like I’m in slavery haha minus the abuse lol. I can’t step away from it! I make earrings and cut them from hand at first because the metal cut board I got was so close together that it would cut into my faux leather and waste material! This joy is a game changer all around! So glad my fiancé got it for me!

Yes, absolutely! I love cutting faux leather with the Cricut Joy. Let me know how it goes for you!

Is it necessary to put de designside down on the mat? I understand that you did it with the glitter, but is that how you are suppose to do it with all material? I just bought a machine and all the video’s I can find are in English, sometimes hard for me to understand as a Dutchie, so I couldn’t find a lot about this.

Hi, Ana! Are you cutting from chunky glitter? It's best to use a simple design when cutting chunky glitter. If your design is too complex, it may not cut well.

I saw a comment as to "why do you mirror?" Does it flip the image and cut backwards? I'm also new to this and thinking of buying a Cricut Joy!

@AmyRomeu

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks for your comment! You will love the Joy, it's so fun to use, and very versatile. Heat transfer vinyl cuts in reverse, face down so to speak, so the design has to be mirrored when it cuts. This is super important when cutting text or any design that has a specific left and right direction. :)

Will you know by the faux leather when it is time to use the deep point blade?

@AmyRomeu

7 ай бұрын

Hi, great question! I would say if the faux leather is thick, test cut a small shape with the fine point blade (with "more") pressure and repeat the cut a few times. If that doesn't go all the way through, then try the same small shape with the deep point blade. :)
