Looks great! Love the design. I've been watching several videos by Amy Romeu, who makes several items with faux leather. Fabri-tac glue seems to be a better option instead of hot glue.

I can’t believe how easy it stuck to the leather 😮

YES! It works so well! 🙌🏻

I'm thinking if there was a thin cutout of Burch Wood in the center to adhere the leather to, it would add a bit of thickness to the overall keychain & make it a bit more durable. Cute idea. It just seems a little flimsy for a keychain.

I use the Dollar Tree vinyl to line card wallets. I also use Pellon to fuse the two layers together and that helps reduce the leather vinyl from buckling.

I am hooked 🎉😂

I used some of the dollar tree faux leather to make heart-shaped magnetic bookmarks. Also put dollar tree iron on foil on the faux leather. It turned out nice. Nice tutorial❤️

So fun!!! I bet the dollar tree foil iron on looks so pretty on it. I was really impressed with that too!

Those look really great! I'm glad to see that the Dollar Tree faux leather cut really well. I will definitely try some of it now.

Very good tutorial. Thank you! Just want to point out: The reason it didn’t align is because you were supposed to “Center Vertically” at around @3:40 in your video. “Distributing” doesn’t align the shapes in the same axis. It just adjusts the distance between the objects.

Well! I’m impressed! Thanks for the idea!

I really love this!! Thank you for sharing!

If you use a brayer after using hot glue it helps flatten it out. Or your mini heat press after you applied the hot glue. Be careful pressing too hard with the dollar store faux leather or you can easily flatten out the texture in the leather.

Very neat! Thanks for sharing

It turned out beautiful! 😊

Thanks for this great idea! I have made earrings with the leather. It worked well for me.

These turned out great❤

This is an awesome and easy project. Thanks for sharing 🌴💕

Good video. I have made these before, but not with Dollar Tree faux leather. I will try this. You are so right about lining up the circles and the hot glue being uneven. There is an adhesive sheet which has paper on both sides and I cut a duplicate of the leather pattern and sealed the sides together after removing the paper.

Very nice job I love the full leather from dollar tree👍👍

Thank you! I happened upon their faux leather yesterday and decided to make some luggage tags. I think I’m going to place a piece of chipboard in between for strength. Your tips for cutting and heat transfer were helpful. About to go make it now 🥰

Really slick idea.

I think heat and bond wold work perfect for these. Thanks for sharing this ideas

Great Tutorial! I bought this Faux Leather and was trying to figure out the cut settings.Thank you! I have the explore air, so not sure how it would cut on that. I will have to try it on my Silhouette cameo 4. With the rotary cutter. By the way a good glue I like it Beacon 3 and 1 same as Beacon Fabric Tac. TFS

Nice! I think flocked iron-on would be nice for an accent on the leather, too. :)

I wonder how the heat bond tape would work, maybe cut it out on the cricut making it the same size as the leather?? I have never used it but it just came to my mind while I was watching this.

Watching now .. I also have a bunch of faux leather that I haven’t used from last year

I loved the video. I often tried to figure what you could make with this material. I'm going to try and do some key chains. Where did you get the hooks for the key chains.

just something I thought of when you showed these if you were to put the glue piece under the Teflon sheet again and run your heat press over it again the the glue on it would most likely flatten more

I see I’m not the only one in here that has a bunch of that faux leather. This is a great video. I think I have the courage now. 😄 👏🏼

Thank you for using faux leather from dollar tree. I some and couldn’t make it work.

Could you add card stock to the center to make it stronger

I have been looking for the faux leather for the past year. It still has not shown up in our local dollar trees

Haven't seen the faux leather in any of the stores I can get to quickly. The Crafter Square stores are in parts of town that you don't go to alone.

Amazing !!

I wonder if u can sublimate the white one. Um finna find out rn. This will make an awesome marketing idea. They can put their QR code on them and pass them out

What blade did you use to cut the leather?

Can you use hemming tape?

So this leather is pretty thin? Are the double layer applications sufficient? How well is it wearing, on the keychains? Thanks for the tips, Dollar Tree is much handier than the 30 miles to a craft store.

I noticed you moved the white plastic rollers to one side. Is there a reason - will they make marks on the leather?

Wow wish I had watched this last week instead of today, which is Father’s Day lol. I have lots of faux leather both DT and patterned. Now I need to come up with keychain wording for year round ideas lol. Would help me definitely use some of this massive amount of faux leather and scarp vinyl. I did make the keychain wristlets before and need to get back to doing some more

Where can I buy the machine and how much please

Can you put htv on the cricut genuine leather or only in faux leather?

@KaylasCricutCreations

I believe you can add it to genuine leather. I have not tried it out myself though.

Do you know if DT faux leather is washable?

Just curious is this stuff washable? I make beanies and was thinking to use it for the tags?

This is such a great idea for my hubby for Father’s Day! He is forever losing his car key LOL. Do you know what cut setting I could use on an Explore for the faux leather? I know you have the maker and give the category on there, usually I can figure out the translation but I’m not so sure on this one.

@KaylasCricutCreations thank you @KaylasCricutCreations! I have not done that in the 3 years of having it believe it or not. It sounds horrible typing that now. 😕 I will definitely give that a try pronto since I already have the faux leather. 🙂👍

What would you to add a bit of weight or sturdiness to the keychain? It looks a little flimsy…would you add foam or cardboard? Let me know if you’ve tried inserting another material between the faux leather piece. Thanks.

Yes, it was uneven. It was not the glue stick. Look at 3:37. You could have centered them vertically, instead.😊
