GENIUS!!! I just bought leather & have not yet attempted to cut any, so coming across your video helped me so much! Thanks for sharing! 💛

[@journalingmoore]

Thank you…You’re welcome welcome..Happy to share my ideas 🙂❤️

[@madebymila]

What a super cleaver and useful idea. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m checking out videos BEFORE I cut any faux leather for the first time and this is sheer greatness!

[@journalingmoore]

Your very welcome..Happy to help..

[@aliyakeller2573]

Me too 🤗

I was having trouble reliably cutting leather with the masking tape approach - it would often peel up and ruin the cut (and get masking tape jammed in the machine). However I just tried your technique and it works beautifully. Far quicker and 100% reliable with less mess. These rolls of adhesive are also the perfect size for the machine. Thank you for sharing the idea.

Aww this makes me happy..You are very welcome 🤗 Definitely makes things so much easier

Thank You for sharing this I tried doing for the first time with faux leather and I didn’t put it in the right spot like you did and I was told too use paint tape to hold it in place

You’re welcome.Happy to share 😃

OMG THIS IS JUST SO SMART SUCH A LIFE SAVER I JUST TRIED IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!!

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks..Happy it’s helpful for you…Definitely will save your mat

Think I would just cut a small piece of leather and do some snips and there is the earrings. Cleaner and easier to do but this would be great to do for a larger project.

[@journalingmoore]

@@reidsfabric good ideas to cat smaller pieces

[@robertamiehle2872]

Thanks for this tip. I am planning to explore faux leather on my maker!

[@journalingmoore]

You’re welcome…I

[@gerilynne1955]

Brilliant idea! Have you tried with any other items. Paper? Fabric? What a great way of saving your mats. My next question is, what if you put the faux leather upside down instead?

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks so much….Yes I have used it on fabric.If you put the leather down instead the Circuit blade will have a hard time cutting the leather….It cuts better on the smooth surface

[@theodosiaanthony4409]

I tried it smoth side facing down and it worked just as well.i used my deep point blade t cut

[@stacyjones200]

Great hack. Will definitely come in handy. Thanks!

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks..It definitely helps save the mat

[@ChunlanBellydance]

Great tip, thank you for sharing. Can I ask where to find this clear brand?

[@journalingmoore]

Thank you..I’m not sure where I found this brand,,I had it for along time..You can just get any clear shelf stick liner😄

[@ChunlanBellydance]

@@journalingmoore Thank you so much, that’s very helpful 🙏😊

[@nancykowalkowal3078]

Did you use a fine blade or a deep blade.? Thank you for your video! Great idea ,

[@journalingmoore]

Fine blade…sorry didn’t see your comment till now…Thanks

[@monicacalvo1006]

Genius! Thank you for sharing.

[@journalingmoore]

Your welcome…It will definitely save your mat..

[@bellgabgio6]

Great tip!

[@journalingmoore]

Thank you

[@shayzee7075]

Are you using a deep cut blade?

[@journalingmoore]

Yes I am

[@bonnayj]

I have seen others cut faux leather and it is good side down so you don't get the fuzzy on the mat & you mirror it before cutting.

[@journalingmoore]

I don’t do it that way because the blade will get all of the fuzzy on it. Thank you though 😊

[@caroleeritchings230]

Awesome idea!

Yes you can

[@angelalansiquot8574]

Great hack. Where did you get your contact paper?

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks it definitely saves the mat…I had that roll for along time so not sure where it came from. But I know the dollar tree sells smaller rolls of it

[@angelalansiquot8574]

Good idea with the contact

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks..It really makes a big difference

[@crosscutofficial]

Easier way, turn your leather face down on your standard grip mat. In fact, I use a light grip.

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks for the tip

[@iamdooley66]

Thanks!

The fine point blade

[@marvawalker9540]

Can you cut leather on a Circuit Air 2

[@journalingmoore]

@@marvawalker9540 I’m not sure

[@mindyrichter5270]

I could not find this project on design space?

[@journalingmoore]

If I remember correctly it was under earrings in the design space

[@darleenworkshop270]

U can make your own tassel just by hand n not the machine lol

[@journalingmoore]

Thanks.I do know that.Just easier on my hands to have the machine do it
