EDIT TO MATERIAL SETTINGS: If you can choose Faux Leather (Paper Thin) as a base material option, select that. If it's greyed out like it was for me when I filmed this video, use the Kraft Board setting as I did.

I'm a brand new never-seen-a-Cricut-machine-before-in-my-life person. I bought double-sided faux leather to make earrings which is waaay thicker than the paper thin setting on the Cricut Maker. The blade that comes with the Maker won't cut through it. Can you tell me if there is an automatic setting I could use instead? Or is there some way to do it manually? Love your videos. Thanks for putting all this information out there for the rest of us!

@@linguisticlingo Hi, thanks for your comment! Welcome to the wonderful world of Cricut! Really thick double sided faux leather will have to be cut with the knife blade using the Maker. You could also try the deep point blade if you have an Explore Air 2. The deep point blade comes in a black housing and is an extra purchase - it works with both the Explore Air 2 and the Maker. The knife blade is also an extra purchase, but it only works with the Maker. You can see both blades on my Favorite Products page on my blog here: amyromeu.com/my-favorite-products/

Hi. I am having a problem with my foil not taking on the leather. I used to circuit leather. The black and silver work together but it is fuzzy. And I used the thin setting and fine tip. Any suggestions. Maybe my leather is too thick.

Hi Amy, thank you for this, they are gorgeous! I tried it but sadly my faux leather was a little rough and so the foil didn't take, so I used leather look paper which was also pebbled but its much thinner than the faux leather and it foiled beautifully. Then I cut the same out of the faux leather and heat n bonded the two together. You cant tell the difference between the paper and the leather and they seem to stiffen each other together and now I have pretty on both sides. Thank you for your tutorial, I think I will be making a lot more of these for gifts.

Is there a way to run the foil again if we want it a little darker or no?
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 жыл бұрын
@@jrbboop Hi, unfortunately, no. The foil is "transferred" to the material after it runs through the Cricut on the first pass. The foil is no longer on the foil sheet. You would need to apply a new sheet of foil to apply a second layer, but it would be difficult to get the second foiling to line up again with the original design. Have you tried using a bolder tip? That may help.

Hello and Thank you. I love that your videos get right to the point and don't have extra chatting or trying to sell us something. I am a newbie and can't wait to try this after I get more familiar with my machine. Question...can you use any pattern/design to foil onto leather?
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, Pam! Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm glad you are finding value in my videos - that's my goal. :) To answer your question, yes, you can use any pattern or design to foil onto leather. However the foiling tool doesn't fill in areas, it draws in a series of lines. So a floral line drawing or a sunburst of lines like the designs I show in this video are perfect, but something like a circle shape would only foil as a circle outline, not a filled in circle shape. I hope that makes sense! :)

Hi, Mary! Thanks for your comment. First, I wanted to let you know Cricut has just released the foil transfer tool for the Cricut Joy - so you don't have to have the Maker to cut faux leather and foil. :) To answer your other questions - foiling lasts longest on smooth faux leather that doesn't have a shiny coating or other treatment on top. That being said, you don't want to wash it handle it a lot, or else the foil may start to rub off over time. I hope that helps! Thank you. Amy

Hi, thanks for your comment! I've heard of the foil rubbing off occasionally, especially if the faux leather has a glossy coating on it, or is textured. You could try sealing the foil with a polyacrylic sealer (a spray, not one you brush on). Another idea is from my friend Natalie at NeliDesign. She uses a waterproof spray for shoes to protect the foil on faux leather. She has a KZbin video and a written tutorial here: nelidesign.com/faux-leather-and-foil-how-to-make-luggage-tags/ Let me know if you try either of these techniques, and what works for you!

If you set your faux leather back to original settings it comes up in the list for foiling.

@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 3 жыл бұрын
Hi, Lola! Thanks for your comment. I have not seen any significant rub off, but I think it depends on how much you handle the foiled item because oils from your skin will transfer onto the foiled surface repeatedly over time. Cricut says faux leather takes the foiling transfer better than genuine leather because of the natural oils in genuine leather, so I would think a lot of handling will have an impact over time. If you wanted to try sealing the foil, I would suggest using a light spray of a matte polyurethane spray (not a brushed on sealer).

Can you foil cork earrings?
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 2 жыл бұрын
Hi, Jan! Thanks for your question. You may be able to, but the optimal results of foiling come from uniform and direct pressure from the foil tip onto the material. Since cork isn't a smooth or uniform surface, the foil won't press evenly onto the cork. It could still make for a cool look, though! Let me know if you try it. I'd love to hear about your results.

I just tried these earrings using the Air 2 and the foil barely shows up on the leather? Any ideas why? Can I safely retape the foil and refoil the already cut earrings?
@AmyRomeu
@AmyRomeu 4 жыл бұрын
Hi, Lea! What kind of faux leather did you use? Pebbled or smooth? Thick or thin? You may need to increase the pressure to “more” next time. If you want to try again, you’ll likely need to use a new piece of foil. The original piece should have most of the foil design removed during the foiling process, unless the foiling didn’t work at all.

I've tried this all kinds of ways, and it's smearing. Every single time. Could it be because of pebbled faux leather? I've tried default pressure and more pressure. I've tried taping it with painters tape and with the tape that came with it. I pulled it super taut. Still a smeared mess. After the 25th try, I am done. Please tell me what else to try. I am really thinking this is only going to work on smooth faux leather.

Hi, thanks for your comment! Sorry you are frustrated! I've only tried this on smooth faux leather and I was happy with the results. I wouldn't recommend pebbled faux leather just because the foil adheres best to a smooth surface. Try some smooth faux leather and let me know how it goes!

Hi, thanks for your comment! I'm sorry you are frustrated. Unfortunately, Cricut recommends foiling only for faux leather, not for genuine leather. They said when the launched the foiling tip that the foil doesn't work well with the natural oils in genuine leather. :( I share that in the video, and also share my personal experience that smooth faux leather works much better than textured or pebbled faux leather. I would love it it they came up with a foiling solution for genuine leather!

I even tried putting actual metal leaf under the foil and using the pressure to emboss that into my leather, but it didn’t work. Then I smeared some foil glue on the leather, did the same, and made a mess. hahahah. Good thing is that it all washed off. lol. I’m going to just keep experimenting until I get it to work on the leather I want to use. Hope I don’t break the cricut.
