[@lyndalljohnson9376]

Extremely useful, as I intend to buy a Joy Xtra for mainly making faux leather earrings.

[@AmyRomeu]

I'm glad it helped, Lynda! I would say hold off on the Joy Xtra until they update the material settings and allow you to repeat the cut.

[@karabogusky3037]

I just made 2 pairs for my daughter and I. Super easy, and really cute!

[@karencarpenter4763]

I love these! Beautiful. Thank you! So can you make faux leather earrings with the regular Joy? Never thought about it until seeing this video.

[@AmyRomeu]

Thanks for your comment, Karen! Yes, you can make faux leather earrings with the original Joy, too! I have a video about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5aznmSsn7driMU&t

I had fun with the xtra one day then it wanted calibrated. I did that and it ended up worse! Still can’t fix it - I’m uninstalling design space and the xtra and see if that helps. I would love to try the leather - looks like fun! TFS!

[@AmyRomeu]

Oh goodness! Yes, try uninstalling and trying again! Let me know how it works out.

[@vrothery50]

@@AmyRomeu Yes I will try - it was disappointing - I wrote Cricut but never did get an answer from them. Have a great day!

[@simmimon]

What is the thickness of the faux leather?

[@AmyRomeu]

Hi, I'm not sure. I don't measure it, it's standard faux leather thickness. I buy a lot of faux leather from Etsy and Amazon and none of them have the thicknesses listed, but they all work with the Cricut. :)

[@jrl9319]

What makes it extra..the og joy does the same

[@AmyRomeu]

It does Print then Cut which the original Joy doesn't. :) Also the mat is sized for 8.5 x 11 paper, perfect for sticker makers.

[@jrl9319]

yeah I hate the rerun not being here.. wasted so much material because of it

[@AmyRomeu]

I know! So weird that's it's on the Joy but not the Joy Xtra. I hope they add it as an update or something!

[@jrl9319]

watched so many videos and if you hadn't shown me to scroll way down custom I never would have seen it soo thanks for that... still ruined some material but not as much as I would have..@@AmyRomeu
