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.). 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. This could be because the hole is too close to the edge and you want to keep the earring hole from tearing.

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.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? If you want to watch how I create simple earrings from a completely new shape in Cricut Design Space, be sure to watch the YouTube video at the top of this post. WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING FAUX LEATHER EARRING WITH A CRICUT? Or you may want to change the location of the earring hole altogether (if you want the earrings to dangle a different way, for example). 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.

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. Get my free SVG cut files and patterns for the Faux Leather Earrings 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. I always like to make ONE earring shape with a hole first, then DUPLICATE that shape to create the second earring.

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. Sometimes you may want to “hide” an earring hole in a faux leather earring SVG to keep it from cutting. Why would you want to do that? Here are some reasons: What I like to do is let the Cricut make the earring hole cut first even if I know it may not cut all the way through. Then I follow up with the hole punch if necessary because that way I know exactly where the hole should be made. This created perfect earring hole placement so the earrings look professional, symmetrical, and they hang the exact same way. HOW DO YOU KEEP AN EARRING HOLE FROM CUTTING WITH A CRICUT?

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. But I’ve found it’s best to use a combination of the machine cut and manual hole punching techniques. 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.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. 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.
