THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF EARRING SVG CUT FILES
Earring SVG files are made for different earring craft projects. Think about what type of earring you want to make with your Cricut Maker and then see if the file (or files) you are purchasing contain that file.
Here are some different files you can purchase.
Teardrop. The teardrop DIY Leather earring is one of the most popular options. The teardrop shape can come in a solid teardrop shape or an open teardrop shape. The open teardrop shape has a cut out in the middle of the earring.
Circle. The circle earring SVG is a solid circle. You can attach a post to this earring or a fishhook. Some circle earring SVG comes with a cut-out in the middle which is a really popular option. You can also purchase a half-moon circle SVG which is fun to mix mediums to create a unique earring craft.
Rectangle This is another great earring SVG option. This SVG file comes with a quote and art together in one file. Typically these files cannot be changed or altered in any way. You will need to use the file as is so be sure you like the files before you buy. Quotes with illustrations are great for home projects such as canvas art, kitchen towels, or mugs.
Geometric Shapes. Leather earrings are also made with fun geometric shapes. Hearts, ovals, lightning bolts, arches, and other geometric shapes make fun and unique leather earrings.
Feather. Leather Earrings in a feather shape are another super popular leather earring. This earring comes in various sizes. Sometimes earring crafters will layer a shorter feather over a longer feather for a unique look.

5 BENEFITS OF USING A EARRING SVG
There are many great reasons to purchase an SVG versus making your own.
Variation. By using an earring SVG you can make earrings with many different types of leather or cork. By using a different medium, you can create numerous different earrings with ONE file. The possibles are endless! Here are our favorite DIY leather and cork earring products we love!

Make Extra Cash. Sell your projects on Etsy, Facebook, or in your community. Be mindful of the license agreement before you purchase a file or use that file to make goods to sell. If your file allows a commercial license, then consider selling your projects for cash! Most commercial licenses allow for so many projects per file so know the details before you sell.
Save Time. The biggest benefit of using an SVG file is to save time! You can save yourself so much time and money by using a file. If you don’t have a lot of graphic design experience, why not support other artists and purchase a file? SVG files are not expensive and will save you a lot of time.
Professional. An SVG is a great way to make a professional-looking project. Especially if you are just starting out with a Cricut Maker, using professional files is a great way to learn. Maybe one day you will learn to make files too. You never know.
Learn something new. Using an SVG file is a great way to teach yourself something new. With each file, you can push yourself to learn to use your machine in a new way. I love how versatile the Cricut Maker is. All these years later, I am still learning about what this machine can do.

5 THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN A GOOD EARRING SVG FILE
What are the types of files included? Does your listing have an SVG or PNG option? Can you size the file to your needs inside Cricut Design Space? Are the fish hook or post holes included? I prefer to cut my own with a leather punch!
Look for the project ideas in the description. Take your time and scroll through the product description and pictures. Does the owner give you ideas on how the files can be used? If their ideas match what you want to create, GREAT! Don’t hesitate to contact the seller if you have any questions. Most sellers are happy to help their customers!
What is editable within the file? Sellers will list within the description what you can change or not change in the file. Be sure to read the description carefully and message the seller if you are not sure.
What are the license agreements? If you are looking to make projects for yourself or as gifts you don’t need a commercial license. However, if you want to sell your creations you will need to look into a commercial license for your file. Most sellers will list how many projects you can sell with their file and most of the time the license may cost you a little more.
Will this earring SVG work with the project you have in mind? Finally, make sure the file you are purchasing will work with the project you had in mind to make. I like to purchase files that I can make many different projects with.
