Faux leather is a lot of fun to craft with. It’s lightweight, so it’s perfect for earrings. I am currently obsessed with silly earrings, so I had to make some for myself.
I created these cute earrings for Valentine’s Day, but who says you can’t wear hearts year-round? And those bows are definitely appropriate all year.

If you’re new to crafting with faux leather, check out this post on cutting faux leather with a Cricut. It’s filled with details that will be skimmed over for brevity’s sake.
Bow Earrings
Please note: the bow is supposed to have two pieces so that it moves.
- Upload the design.
- Cut the faux leather and remove it from the mat.
- Align the bow and the ribbon tails together.
- Use a leather punch to add a hole to both layers.
- Attach the bow pieces to the earring with a jump ring.
- Repeat for the other earring.
Sugar Cookie Earrings
- Upload the design and cut the tan cookie part with leather. (The other layers are iron-on vinyl.)
- Mirror the image before cutting the XO part.
- Weed the iron-on design as usual.
- Apply the pink heart to the tan leather piece using the EasyPress mini on Low for 10 seconds. (Cover it with parchment paper to avoid melting the plastic.)
- Remove the plastic backing from the pink heart.
- Apply the XO over the pink heart and press for another 10 seconds.
- Remove the plastic backing.
- Repeat for the other earring.
- Use the leather punch to make a hole in the top of the heart.
- Attach the leather to the earring with a jump ring.
- Repeat for the other earring.
Dangling Heart Earrings with Glitter Iron-on
- Cut a small piece of glitter iron-on and the same size of faux leather.
- Place the glitter iron-on over the faux leather.
- Cover it with parchment paper and use the EasyPress mini on low for 10 seconds. I used heat-resistant tape to hold it in place.
- Remove the plastic backing from the glitter.
- Upload the design.
- Cut the design. The glitter iron-on faux leather must be taped to stick to the mat. I used painter’s tape, but a strong washi tape will also work. Adhere to all four sides for the best results. The same settings are used for cutting faux leather (faux leather – paper thin.)
- As shown, use a leather punch to make holes in the heart shapes.
- Use jump rings to attach the hearts together.
- Attach the string of hearts to an earring with another jump ring.
- Repeat for the other earring.
