[@CraftyKSLady]

Good to watch a video of yours again, Amy. Hope you and your family are having a great Summer!

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Diana! Thank you! I always like to see your name and your smiling face! We have been so, so busy this summer. It should slow down at the start of August though, and I'm starting to get excited about Fall and Winter crafting.

[@reneepaiz9574]

I'll watch the video,i believe my issue started?Due to the material or canvas i used.I bought my earrings at hobby lobby n i tried sublimating?I believe the earrings already had a design 😅.So thank u for all the videos you do😁.

Thank you so much!

[@maleneandreasen1484]

I love it learnt it at the festival 🥰

[@AmyRomeu]

Yay, Malene! So glad to hear you like this project.

[@potterfarm9496]

Thank you for showing me how to make pretty earrings. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make them because my faux leather moves off my cricut mat when cutting. I watched your other video on how to fix that but that didn’t work for me 😔😔

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, I'm sorry you are having trouble cutting faux leather. Are you trimming the material down to a smaller size, placing it face down on a sticky purple cutting mat, and taping it down on all sides with blue painter's tape? Those are the techniques I use and they work really well. :)

[@potterfarm9496]

@@AmyRomeu I wasn’t using painters tape but I was cutting the faux leather down to size. I just got some painters tape so hopefully that helps. Thank you so much Amy for helping me

[@AmyRomeu]

@@potterfarm9496 I think the tape will really help! Let me know how it goes! It's always my pleasure to help when I can. :)

[@potterfarm9496]

Hey Amy! So I tried cutting glitter faux leather with the blue painters tape and it worked!! Thank you so much Amy for your help😍

[@Beckyp1601]

Love!

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Becky! Thank you for letting me know you liked this project!

[@andreastewart4215]

My question is when you add the iron on foil do you have to mirror that as well?

[@AmyRomeu]

I applied the foil iron on to the back of the faux leather before I made the faux leather mat cut. :)

[@andreastewart4215]

Disregard my last question I saw that you added the foil to the faux before you cut

[@AmyRomeu]

No worries, Andrea!

[@theguitarpicker]

Beautiful. Made a bunch for Christmas presents and an getting really good feedback on them. Are we allowed to sell these or is it personal use only? TIA. Love your tuts.

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, I'm so glad to hear that! :) My free designs are for personal use only, but I do offer commercial use licenses for my designs in my shop. Here's the listing for the butterfly earrings SVG with a commercial use license: shop.amyromeu.com/products/colorful-butterfly-wing-earring-svg?variant=43017320005879

[@bonniejomilburn7181]

Do you ever have a problem with your earring wires breaking when you turn them? I only give them a quarter turn and sometimes they break. I’m just now thinking 🤔 maybe instead of turning we could add another jump ring. Thank you for all your patterns, and inspiration! Bonnie Jo

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Bonnie! Yes, that happens sometimes. Usually with better quality earring hooks that isn't as much of an issue. You may have to try a few brands to find one that you like and doesn't break. Adding a second jump ring is another option a lot of people use. I prefer the look of only one jump ring, but two jump rings is perfectly good too!

[@susanmcallister8068]

Thank you for the clear instructions 😍 My daughter loves butterflies so I know I’ll be making her a pair. Question, do you have instructions for making bracelets on cricut?

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Susan! I'm glad you think your daughter will like this project. :) Honestly I haven't made a lot of bracelet tutorials with a Cricut. I have made two charm bracelets. I'll link to them here for you. amyromeu.com/cricut-faux-leather-spring-flowers-charm-bracelet/ amyromeu.com/diy-cricut-valentines-day-heart-charm-bracelet/ I'll have to add a bracelet project for you! Thanks for the idea. Amy

[@yvonnealvizo]

Lovely butterfly earrings, great tutorial!👏🏽👏🏽🥰🙋🏻‍♀️💜

[@AmyRomeu]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked this project!

[@Crozes92240]

Can I make this on my Cricut Maker?

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Alyssa! Yes, absolutely!

[@rachaelclark5933]

How do we purchase a commercial license for your SVG's

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Rachael! Every SVG in my shop (and even those that are free on my blog) have a commercial use license available for purchase. Please visit my shop and then search for the design you are interested in by keyword. You'll see a Personal Use and a Commercial Use option available. Here's my shop link: shop.amyromeu.com/

[@tonyamayfield4311]

Everytime I try to cut an intricate design earring, it rips my faux leather. Anyone have any tips on how to stop this from happening?

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, Tonya! Thanks for your question. I have all of my best tips and tricks for cutting faux leather in this video here. Check it out and let me know if you are using all of these techniques when cutting. If so, it could be the design is just too intricate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYeaiGCCpK-paK8
