I'm so glad you like this project! I hope you'll share your creations with me when you make this one. I have a free faux leather crafting group on Facebook if you are on Facebook and would like to join us! facebook.com/groups/fauxleathercrafting
Thank you so much for your videos!!! I love that you repeat things about the Cricut and process in every video! You explain everything so well! So happy I found you!
Thank you for the kind comment, Nadia! I'm so glad you are finding my videos helpful! If you have any specific topics or projects you'd like me to cover in a video, please let me know. :)
Thank you,for sharing as I’ve just found your channel. As I have had all items to make faux leather wristlets and name keychains but didn’t know what to do, thank you once again for you very easy detailed instructions . Instead of using glue you could use heat and bond.
Hi, Annemarie! Thank you for your message. Yes, Heat n' Bond is another great option. I use that in my video on four different ways to put a back on faux leather earrings and I love it. Thanks again for your comment!
I'm so glad you are excited about this, Janine! Thank you for the suggestion. I was waiting until Offset and Kerning were both ready so I could show you these two techniques! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words, Johany! I appreciate it! I'm so glad you are feeling inspired to try new materials. I can't wait to see what you make!
Amy, FYI. if one does NOT change/u group, anything, such as Ungroup to Letters for instance, though we SEE the cut lines between kerned letters, they WILL BE "PRE"-WELDED upon clicking "Make it". ONLY if one ungroups in any fashion is the Welding step now needed for kerned fonts (as Cricut labels it).
KERNING simply means more appropriate arrangement of letter-to-letter, to improve readability AND be more pleasing to the eye. KERNING is for all fonts, not only script; typography as a skillset includes kerning. Thx for this video!!
I just giggled when you talked about taking away the pieces because they were “fiddle”. Not sure what that means, but I may have to use that word occasionally.
Hi, Suzie! Thank you for your comment. I haven't made any bows yet - I keep meaning to, but there are so many earrings I want to make! Do you make bows?
Hi Amy! Do you know if you can apply hotfix jewels to faux leather and have them hold up? As in for earrings, bracelets, card holders, or key fobs? Or would you suggest gluing with G&S Cement or something of the like?
Hi, Michelle! Thanks for your comment. I would test out Hotfix stones on faux leather first to see if they stay - I haven't tried them myself. I've used a lot of Hotfix stones on apparel, but fabric is much more porous than faux leather. If that doesn't work, I would try a cement or E6000 or something like that. :) Let me know how it goes! I will have to try it myself, too.
My goodness!!!!! I’m intrigued with your videos, I love what you create!!! Was there a reason as to why you didn’t use fabric glue in your other wristlet video?
In my other wristlet video I demonstrated how to heat press vinyl on the back, so no fabric glue was needed. You can make the wristlets either way (with HTV on the back, or with two pieces of faux leather glued together). I just wanted to show both ways. :)
Thank you for the video, very helpful! Do you have any tips for using an iron? New to this but I think I just had my setting to high and it didn't turn out well.
Hi, Ashley! If you're using an iron, be sure it doesn't have the steam setting on or any moisture. You'll want to use a cover sheet like a Teflon sheet, parchment paper, or butcher paper. I would start with a scrap of vinyl and faux leather and test out a low iron setting. Move the iron around the whole time and only press for 5-7 seconds at a time. Keep removing the cover sheet and checking to see if the vinyl has adhered. If not, press a little longer and repeat the check. If two times of pressing isn't enough, then try the next higher temperature setting. Let me know how it goes!
Hi, Amy! You don't have to do offset with a name at all, you can just use regular text. But an offset adds some dimension to the text and, in this case, it helps the letters stand out against a printed background. Totally optional, though!
Amy I need some help please I’m just starting out can you please help me pick out the machine I need to start making with faux leather like keychains,earrings,hair bows and what else would I need with my machine thank you so much ❤️
Hi, Lisa! I'm excited for you! This post on my blog should help answer your questions 😀: amyromeu.com/only-supplies-needed-to-make-cricut-faux-leather-earrings/
@@AmyRomeu thank you so much for responding back you’re the first I done some research I think 🤔 I got it have a bless day Amy and again thank you so much but I’m still going to look xxx ❤️❤️❤️
@@AmyRomeu I hate to ask you something else but I’m just confused if all I’m going to make is with Faux leather do I also need to get the maker I ordered The cricut explore 3 want that do everything I need it to do thanks Amy ❤️
Can I make this to start my own small business and sell them? I’m new to all this, but came across your videos and I got inspired by you! This is amazing. Thank you so much for all you do!
Hi, Chris! I use a lot of Siser vinyl myself, but I know many crafters love Cricut vinyl and other brands like Starcraft and HTVRONT. I would suggest buying a sheet of the same type of vinyl in different brands and trying them out for yourself!
Hi - yes, absolutely! It may not be as long lasting as HTV would, but you can certainly use it. Just remember not to mirror when using permanent vinyl. :) I can't wait to see what you create!

I'm glad you like this project, Brenda! Thanks for your comment.
I just giggled when you talked about taking away the pieces because they were “fiddle”. Not sure what that means, but I may have to use that word occasionally.
Thanks for your comment, Debbie! Sometimes strange words come to mind when I'm shooting, but I just have to go with it. :)
I haven't put two faux leathers together just vinyl on the back. Going to try, thanks!
Great! Let me know how it goes, Cassandra!!
Sweet I so want try this 🙂
Thanks for your comment! I hope you do. Let me know how it goes! :)
Thank you …. ❤️

So cute! Is there a reason not to add an HTV personalization to the version with one layer of faux leather backed by HTV?
Thanks! No, not at all. You can add HTV personalization to either version. :)
For faux leather, do you think hot glue or heat-n-bond would be good adhesive alternatives to Art’s Glitter Glue or E6000?
Hi, I would use Heat n' Bond (the Ultra Hold in the red package) before I used hot glue. It's very hard to get hot glue in a thin and even layer. :)
Love this! Do you have to do off set with a name?

Can you sew them together
Hi, Jackie! Yes, you can!
I want to try key fobs and ready to order my tools and vinyl Is there any vinyl you feel is the best to order on Amazon?
Hi, Chris! I use a lot of Siser vinyl myself, but I know many crafters love Cricut vinyl and other brands like Starcraft and HTVRONT. I would suggest buying a sheet of the same type of vinyl in different brands and trying them out for yourself!
@@AmyRomeu TY!!
@@cpech2 You're welcome! Thanks again for watching!
Will permanent vinyl work for personalizing? I have a lot of it and can’t afford htv or a press right now.
Hi - yes, absolutely! It may not be as long lasting as HTV would, but you can certainly use it. Just remember not to mirror when using permanent vinyl. :) I can't wait to see what you create!
@@AmyRomeu Thank you so much for the response. You're the first TH-camr who has ever answered me.
Can you brush on mod podge to glue the two pieces of faux leather?
You can try it, but a good fabric glue would be better for long lasting hold and a tight seal around the edges. :)
Can you add HTV to real leather? Or should I stick to faux leather?
Hi, I haven't tried that myself! If you try it, please let me know how it goes. :)
Thank you. But I can't find the svg in link
