Leverback Earring Card Punch by Easy Earring Cards

Product Information

Now some of the earring designs have pre-cut holes, but a few do not. Those that do not are this way on purpose so you can choose whether you want them to hang straight or curved. If you want them to hang straight, just punch a hole at the top with the leather punch and you’re good to go.

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. Key concepts taught in the video tutorial include how to mirror a design in Cricut Design Space, how to cut faux leather, and how to iron foil vinyl on faux leather.It also could be because you prefer using the hole punch to make the earring holes in faux leather earrings.

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. 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.

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.

A Cricut cutting machine (or another cutting machine of your choice).I used the Cricut Maker, but you can use the Cricut Maker 3, the Explore Air 2 or Explore 3, or the Cricut Joy. 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. 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). If you make any of these faux leather earrings, please share a photo in our Facebook group, or tag me on social media with #makershowandtell. I always like to make ONE earring shape with a hole first, then DUPLICATE that shape to create the second earring.
