Thank you so much, Michael for recognizing my creation. I feel so honored to be featured in your KZbin Channel. And this is such a great tutorial (as usual), I love that you used 3M adhesive for adhering the leather together. I will definitely consider using that on my next leather project. Again, thank you so much! 🥰

[@ChildofGod3212]

Wil. The Explore cut faux leather?

[@diil_emma]

I really appreciate how much recognition you gave the original creator! This is such a safe and supportive community ❤️

[@meaganriecken6519]

I wish other creators and crafters did the same.

[@BigMtnDecals]

I would like to see credit in a link in description box for the original creator or the person someone gets their inspiration from though so we could easily access those people

[@BigMtnDecals]

I see he added it! That’s awesome. I love a YTer that pays attention to his followers like that.

[@stephaniechessell501]

I love your gluing idea with the sticky tape and it’s not messy like liquid glue!

[@patgenerous6997]

Hi everyone from Bristol, Tennessee

[@tamarakennie6126]

Did you use the regular knife blade or something else

[@pennymathews6818]

I had been having a hard times installing fonts! Thanks for the tip on closing Design Space

[@joyscranfield5527]

Will rewatch! Happy mother's day for all you mom types! Ok, can this be done Explore Air 2? Wonder video! Thanks Michael! Hey Morgan

[@user-cv4zt8hf2u]

No adhesive double side category on Explorer 2. what do we use?

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@user-cv4zt8hf2u I hope someone can get back to us that doesn’t have this setting. I haven’t even looked if it has the Faux Setting?

[@Danny_crispino]

@@jamesbarlowjr.3762 IT has the Faux leather setting, but not the adhesive setting. hope someone tells us soon

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@Danny_crispino I agree.. that would help. I’m not sure how Micheal has that setting and we don’t. And I just got mine last week. You would think it would be on there. 😊

[@LauriQuick]

I did it... turned out really cute.

[@caramagrowski320]

Great idea using the 3M adhesive. Love it. Thank you for a great tutorial

[@diil_emma]

I've seen so many tutorials like this use hot glue. It's cool to see a different adhesive!

[@dmnevarez]

Best tutorial for leather 🔑 chain I have seen.

[@sallypaluh3598]

When i browse all materials I do not have anything that pops up on the adhesive double-sided sheets. I have an air 2

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

I’m running into the same problem. Grrrr

[@laurienelson252]

OMG I cnt wait to try this!! ordering supplies today

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Did you try it? 😊

[@albatros835]

This channel is a godsend! I find what I need in every video!😍

[@mrcraftypants]

YESSS 🤩 Love hearing that thank you!!

[@jerriannemarie4058]

I'm glad you said to completely close design space. I think that's what's been happening to me

[@dkortea]

OMG!! I love this. Glad I finally got here.

[@yolandavazquez766]

Hello, what's the size for the Lobster Claw keychain,please

[@taneycomoqueen]

Can you provide a link to the hardware?

[@cynthialyles887]

Thanks for all the wonderful videos. I am making this keychain for my grandchildren. I know this is months later, but I bought the double sided adhesive sheets off of Amazon. It isn't double sided. I can't get it to work. Do you have another suggestion?

[@-cotton-bri-]

For those that have tried it, how well have they held up?

[@angelinah427]

When I saw the dollar tree vinyl I ended up skipping it and getting their faux leather and now I’m glad I did!!! Definitely going to try this!

[@lindapatterson8128]

I've made a few from dollar tree faux leather and they turned out great?

[@jessicahites871]

My kids will love these!!

[@IT-ww9cy]

Will need to try this when the faux leathers arrive. Thank you for this very cool tutorial, as always.

[@samirose2510]

Do you have to use htv or can you use permanent vinyl? Thinking about making some of the names keychains

[@mslaterva]

What a simple project. Need to give this a try. You made it seem very simple, thanks!!

[@janfisher1055]

New to the cricut machine but will find it easier to use now that I have found Mr Craft pants thank you

[@mrcraftypants]

I hope you find my videos helpful!!! Good luck with the new machine but I"m sure you will do amazing with it!

[@pearllucas6304]

Thank you for making this so simple to do and not rushing through it 😊

[@alexahill5817]

Can this be done with cricut joy and without a heat press? These are so awesome!

[@cynthiachappell9021]

I read the reviews on the 3M adhesive sheets and some folks said that it jams in their machines. Have you experienced that? Also can you confirm the settings on a Cricut Explorer Air 2?

[@LOVESTOWRITEKID24]

ik this isnt relivent 2the vid but is softflex similar 2the cricut sports flex and is it good for swimwear like swimsuits and such?? and i love the keychain!! plus do the other htvs work 4 swimwear like glitter or easyweed??

[@monicachavez4040]

OMG this is so freaking cute!! I def am going to try this! You always have the best tutorials!! Thanks Michael!!

[@ladydcastro513]

Good morning Mr. Crafty Thanks for the tutorial love the designs

[@yolandaleamon1440]

There are no blister packs available anywhere that I can see. What happened? Is there any alternative?

[@aliciaschoborg3278]

What blade do you use for the maker 3?

[@lindapatterson8128]

Just made my first one of these the night before this video came out. Love the idea of using the cut adhesive to hold it together!

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

Hi Linda how did it turn out? And what machine do you have? I have the Explorer Air 2 and don’t have the Adhesive Setting. And not sure what setting to cut it on or if it take a different blade. Can you help? Thanks. 😊

[@ziondaughter12]

WOW!!!! You always have wonderful projects. ❤️ This was very nice. I'll give it a try but most of the time I just enjoy watching how perfect these projects come out. Keep up the good work 👏.

The StarCraft one from 143 vinyl? Yes I have and I love it as well.

That’s really cute. Thank you fr sharing😎

[@creiamoinsieme]

La scritta posso usare il ferro a secco? Non ho la press

[@GiamarieSaponaro]

For something this small im sure a home iron would work fine. Just don't use any steam settings. I'm making them right now! They are so cute and work out really smoothly when making many at one time. I do have a heat press so I am making 12 at a time, all different names. Good luck and enjoy 😉 😊

[@sheilawolfer9184]

Definitely will try this.

[@MacT4972]

I love this project! As always, a great tutorial, Michael!

[@patgenerous6997]

I love this. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you!!!!

[@lseh]

Would that adhesive sheet be strong enough to bond felt to the back of the wall tile ornaments. That would be brilliant if I didn’t have to use spray glue!!

[@mrcraftypants]

I’ve never tried it on felt, but I would imagine that would work!

Would you be able to use iron-on adhesive like you'd use for foils?

That should work as well!! 😃

Hi Joe how would that work. I’m new to all this so bare with me. Lol. I don’t have a setting on my Explorer Air 2 for the Adhesive 3M Setting. Not sure what setting to use and or pressure. Thanks for any help. I’m getting discouraged.

Hello it’s so funny cause I just messaged the “FB Group” and said the same thing. Mine doesn’t have the setting either. But I’ll try what you say. Hopefully that will work out for me as well. Lol hopefully I have that setting. Haha. 😊 Thanks So Much Sweetie.
