Dear Amy, I found your channel by chance and I'm so happy! I have the Cricut maker and I feel intimidated to use it, but after watching few of your tutorials I feel encouraged to make some beautiful earrings. Carli
Hi, Carli! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm so excited to hear you feel encouraged to start playing with your Maker! I can't wait to see what you create. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm always happy to help.
Yay! I'm glad you are feeling encouraged. I can't wait to see what you make! If you're on Facebook, please come join my free crafting group where we share our work and learn from each other. It's called Getting Crafty with Amy Romeu. Hope to see you in there!
Amy, I just want to thank you! I got an explore air 2 for Christmas, and, thanks to you, have made some awesome earrings!!! You are a FANTASTIC teacher! Your tutorials are so easy to follow. Happy New Year!!!
Thank you Amy!! Always a pleasure watching your videos. For some reason when I use the faux leather thing setting it only cuts once. I will give it another go! Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much for your comment! If your faux leather setting isn't cutting twice, you can see why and make an adjustment in the custom material settings menu. Let me know if you need help with that and I'll walk you through it. :)
I am really loving all your tutorials. My first weekend off from working at the hospital and enjoying binge watching while drinking wine. I did try to order this particular pattern but it was out of stock. However, I am going to get a different pattern and create this on the next weekend off I get (two weeks from now...lol)
Hi, thank you so much your comment. Binge watching videos while drinking wine sounds fantastic! :) I hope you get a break from work soon and get some crafting time in! Thanks for watching. :)
@@AmyRomeu I’ll send you some pictures of the ones I made in email. I can’t find the one for the wood cross. Can you please send me the TH-cam link? Thank you.
Thank you so much for all the information that is throughout your video. Do I have to purchase double sided faux leather when I make earrings? I also purchased the earring hooks that doesn't need a jump ring. I had to go on Amazon to get them. I can't wait to make me a pair for tomorrow.
Hi, Joyce! Thank you for your comment! You don't need double sided faux leather to make earrings. I recommend using single sided when cutting with a Cricut. You can put a back on the earrings which helps make them look more finished - I have another video about four ways to put a back on faux leather earrings that you'll find helpful! Also, that's great that you are using hooks that don't need jump rings. I use those a lot myself! I can't wait to see your earrings! :)
@@AmyRomeu I had a chance to watch that video and it was so helpful. I can't wait to try them. Where do you recommend that I get my faux leather from? I purchased a earring making kit some time ago that I had to use little template to hand cut my earrings and it came with some faux leather. I am loving all of the different patterns that you use.
Hi, Sarah! I don't remember offhand. You can download the free earring SVGs and bring them into your design program. They will be the correct size and you can see the measurements there. :)
Ive looked but can't seem to find the best sizing for SVG earrings. It seems when I load my svg files they cut larger then I want but not sure how small to go with them. Is there a standard height size? Love your videos they are amazing :)
Hi, Cori! Thanks for your message. All of my earring SVGS should import into Design Space at the correct and optimal size. But for other earrings, I actually go more by width than height. I like to size earrings in the 1 inch to 1.1 inch width range, sometimes a little wider but never wider than 1.5 inches. Then I let the height fall where it may. I hope that helps. :)
@@AmyRomeu Hi Amy, thanks for your reply, and yes that does help me. I am new to earring making so I am trying different designs and files. Oh and BTW....I'm hooked. LOL
Hi, Suzanne! Perhaps I'm not understanding your question. The earring layers are sized differently and appropriately within the SVG file. Are you sure you are uploading the correct file? Thank you.
Hi, Alicia! Are you asking about earring cards? Some people use business cards and an earring card hole punch to make their own, or you can order earring cards from Etsy or Zazzle. I'm working on a video on all the different options for earring cards, so be on the lookout for it!
Hi, Reba! Thanks for your comment. Yes, it will! You'll need to turn your dial to "Custom" before the Faux Leather (Paper Thin) setting will be visible. I have this video that makes the same teardrop style earrings on a Cricut Explore Air 2, if you want to check it out. The earrings are a holiday design, but the teardrop shape and all the steps are the same. amyromeu.com/christmas-earrings-faux-leather-cricut/
Hi, Julie! Do you mean to search for materials that you want to use to cut? That's inside of Design Space, after the mat preview screens, and the Explore Air 2 uses that page. For faux leather, you'll need to turn your dial to custom first to see it.
Hi, Jeannie! Any of my earring patterns should pull in at the correct size. But if you are creating your own earrings, I focus on the width as the most important dimension - I prefer 1 to about 1.25 inches wide, with a max width of about 1.5 inches. Earrings wider than this can touch the side of the face which you don't really want. Of course some people like very large and bold earrings, but generally speaking, the above width is a good guideline for standard earring sizes. In Cricut Design Space, before you adjust the width of your earring shape, be sure the lock is ON above your size menu in the menu panel. Adjust the width and the height will adjust proportionately. I like the height to be a max of about 2.25 inches. Of course you can go longer or shorter than that if you want. :)

Tip! You can take some clear nail polish to “seal” the jump ring :)
That's a great tip, Megan! Thanks!
Thank you so much, Amy! Extremely helpful 👏🏻

When i downloaded the file all files were the same size. Can you tell me the size of the smaller earring

Will this work with the explorer airc2

how do you find what to cut in the svg?
Hi, Brianne! I'm sorry, I'm not understanding the question. Please email me at hello@amyromeu.com so I can assist you further. :)
I have a Cricut air 2 and mine doesn't say anything about search materials -I can't find that anywhere
Hi, Julie! Do you mean to search for materials that you want to use to cut? That's inside of Design Space, after the mat preview screens, and the Explore Air 2 uses that page. For faux leather, you'll need to turn your dial to custom first to see it.
Do I not stick the leather layers together?
Hi, I don't, but you can if you want to!
What dimensions should earrings be in Cricut design space?
Hi, Jeannie! Any of my earring patterns should pull in at the correct size. But if you are creating your own earrings, I focus on the width as the most important dimension - I prefer 1 to about 1.25 inches wide, with a max width of about 1.5 inches.

@@AmyRomeu thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question!🥰
@@jeannielautenschleger9984 Absolutely! It's my pleasure.
What cutting blade is used?
Hi, Maria. I use the standard fine point blade that comes with the Maker (and all of the other machines).
