HOW TO MAKE FAUX LEATHER KEY FOBS/WRISTLETS WITH CRICUT

Hi everyone! In this video I'm sharing how to make a faux leather key fob or wristlet with your Cricut machine. I also added glitter HTV to the back of the faux leather using my Cricut Easy Press 2 and I love how it turned out!

For this leather, use the Denim setting with the rotary blade ♥️

[@adaishamohrbacker9357]

You can also use the denim setting for that material. I bought the same one from hobby lobby and it worked perfect! Love your channel! Thank you for all the videos you put up 💛

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Adaisha Mohrbacker thanks!! :) I’ll give that a try! 🥰

Thank you!! They would make great Christmas gifts! :)

[@jenaenae4]

I love this thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to try this!

[@leighsutherland6222]

I just ordered the key fob tool. I will make some of these key holders for Christmas presents. They can also be used on wallets, so there is more than one option!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Exciting!! They are so fun to make and I think they would make great Christmas presents! That’s such a good idea to attach them to wallets! ❤️

[@aracelysee9665]

I have an explore air 1 and I made earrings out of this kind of faux leather and definitely was able to use my fine point blade. I know I did a few test runs on it to figure out the exact cut settings but I was able to do it!

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

That is awesome!! I tried it with my fine point blade and it was struggling to cut through this faux leather but I'm wondering if my blade is getting a little dull. What setting did you use? Otherwise, I usually have no problems cutting faux leather with the fine point blade. :)

[@vincentferrari]

I couldn't agree more about Cricut's tools. They're well-made beyond their price tag. Although I didn't love their roller cutter I do love their tweezers SO MUCH :) And their wedding picks and stuff.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Vincent Ferrari HEY!! How have you been?!? Yes! Definitely agree! They were really thinking when they chose the different tools!

[@nickic4894]

These are so great. Made a few myself. So easy. Have you tried using this same faux leather to make earrings or other projects? If so, did it work well with the rotary tool?

[@angs1979]

Definitely trying this , I ordered the supplies so wish me luck. Thank you for such a detailed video.

[@rebeccaschuldinger5044]

I cut all the hobby lobby faux leather on my explore air 2 with the fine point blade. I use the shimmer leather setting but before ejecting it I cut it 3 times, and clean my blade in between each cut. Comes out clean every time! Also if I have issues with the faux leather not sticking to my mat I use strong grip transfer tape between the leather and my mat

[@BrandyMaxwell]

OMG!! I can't wait to make these!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊

the minute i saw this video i just had to make them. so adorable thank you for the tutorial.

[@Rinizzlexo]

I’ve been using my fine point blade and upping the pressure on faux leather to 350 and taking of the 2nd pass. It’ll work until I get a deep cut blade anyways.

[@lauralangham9657]

thank you for the Amazon tool link - I ordered it. I enjoyed your tutorial.

[@patticatron6573]

I am always thrilled when I find that you have a tutorial on something new I want to do. You’re so thorough and easy to follow 😃. Do you think you could put names on these with vinyl?.... either HTV or permanent

[@dianenegron8500]

Your videos are amazing thank you

[@gerrywolfe2549]

Love them. I had a bunch of HB faux leather, so purchase the kit. Let the fun begin. Have you tried the Cricut faux leather?

[@carmenmendiola5163]

I struggled very much with my cricut air 2 cutting this material. The maker is definitely the best option. These are super cute!!

Adorable. I think I want To try my hand at that

[@busyme9439]

Awesomeness

[@Natt_Natt]

I saw this on tiktok last night and then got the "recommendation" on youtube this morning yay! Haha. I really want to try this but I definitely need more blades first. I just started using the cricut explorer air 2.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

That's awesome!! 🥰

[@slee2k8]

These looked amazing I can't wait to make one for myself. I had a Victoria Secret's one that unfortunately broke. What a waste of $16 when I could have just made it myself.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Oh that is the worst! These turned out to be pretty easy to make and I love how you can customize them however you want. :) Thank you so much!

[@Melissa-hz9df]

Great video thank you. Do you need to seal the edges?

[@tammyevans8335]

This is awesome thanks for sharing. I cant belive I'm saying this as much as I love a sparkle. I wouldn't put the glitter inside the wristlet. Glitter will be everywhere

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you!! lol I love sparkle also - the glitter is heat transfer vinyl so it actually doesn't shed any glitter at all which is so nice! :)

[@tammyevans8335]

That is great to know

[@Pinktay10]

Have a question. Just purchased my first Cricut joy and How can I convert a Cut Studio file (*.cst) into a cricut joy file. If possible thanks for you videos I can’t wait to start.

[@otterandthyme]

I love this tutorial. How do you prevent the HTV from being scratchy and rough when put on the wrist?

[@gabybroom4485]

Great video. I have a quick question. My tool is one size and I have different sizes of key rings. Mine didn’t just pop in there so easy and lined up. Does each pliers need to be the size of the hardware? Or it’s just that I am new to making them. I do have key rings that are my size of the pliers.

[@jennersmac1804]

I usually cut the vinyl and the htv with the cricut separately you get less waste. If i cut a whole sheet i can do 8 at a time. Then i just iron the 1" strips together.

[@stephaniecrockett2051]

Very cute but I would heat press first and then in design space lay it out so that no material is wasted....wouldn't even bother with using the rotary cutter.

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you! ❤️ if I was making multiple I would just heat press the glitter vinyl onto the faux leather and not worry about the rotary cutter but since I was only making one that’s why I cut it down, I probably could have cut it a little closer to the 1”x11”

[@heynessakaye7893]

Omg those would make great gifts

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

I think so too!! :) I was thinking after I made the video, you could even personalize them by adding someone’s name with vinyl.

[@paulinemanglona1724]

@@KaylasCricutCreations thank you for sharing! I like the idea of adding someone's name. Do you recommend permanent vinyl or iron-on vinyl?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Pauline Manglona you could probably do either one but I would most likely use iron-on vinyl!

[@sharynguercio4433]

I have the rose gold cricut faux leather. I guess it’s thick not sure what blade to use pulse what htv backing would you use with that color?

[@jodin7991]

Love this! Would regular permanent vinyl or HTV work on these to personalize?

[@yvonnetucker1416]

LOVELY

[@pau8935]

is there any other fabric/ material you think would work well instead? also if so would you recommend using the rotary blade or the fine point blade for any other materials? love your crafts!! tysm 💞

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you!! You can find faux leather from Cricut, 143vinyl.com (they used to be called 651viyl), and Etsy or Amazon. The majority of the faux leather you buy will work really well with the fine point blade. The material I used here from Hobby Lobby was thicker than any faux leather I've used in the past so I ended up having to use the rotary blade. I hope that helps! 💕

[@honey214sr]

Will permanent vinyl work well with the faux leather!

[@lezhelyte]

Hi, Can i do this with the cricut explore 2 machine?

[@roseannealbert9429]

awesome video

[@AliJaeJR]

Does this glitter fall off, if so can there be something sprayed on it to keep glitter from rubbing off?

[@sarita2412]

Can I do this on my Cricut explore air 2?

[@triny0309]

How do you get the cut setting on cricut?

[@noemil8159]

Can you make this with a cricut explore air 2?

[@dabbylynn]

Very nice tutorial. What blade are you using for cutting ?

[@joyallen7224]

Does the heat transfer vinyl on the back help to stiffen it up? My faux leather is then and flimsy

[@calmingmelodies3187]

So the blades for Cricut you have to purchase them separately ?

[@leanneh7056]

Love these key fobs so pretty. Can i ask Where u buy ur glitter iron on vinyl please? Hobby craft is quite expensive for how much u get 😭

[@marisolsalcedo8638]

Do you think I can use the standard grip and just tape the edges? I barely got my cricut maker and I’m going to make tags for my mom’s crochet pieces. I already spent so much so am trying to stay away from buying more at least til next month. 😂

[@pamh6014]

Great video. I haven't made anything useful yet. How much do you sell these for?

[@lifestylemama882]

Can you make these using the Joy?

[@mahonnajames6931]

Hello love your tutorials 💕 question after you heat press the HTV you put the mat in the cricut n the machine cuts what setting or what is it on for it to cut once u put it in the second time?

[@KaylasCricutCreations]

Thank you so much! I chose the canvas setting and instead of unloading the mat when it was done I press the C button and when you do that it'll cut it one more time with the canvas setting. I felt like it needed to but cut twice just to fully cut through the material :)

[@PlanHerHappyLife]

Great video! Quick question…. What is the tool called that you clamp the fob hardware to the leather? Do you happen to have a link?

[@Nopageunturned]

Thank you for the tutorial. I love your videos, excellent instruction for us newbies! I can't wait to make some for my friends.

[@daiisyalvarado1938]

By any chance do you know if Walmart sells them?
