12 DIY LEATHER EARRINGS
I received a Cricut Explore Air for Christmas almost 5 years ago. At the time, I didn’t know what I wanted to make but I knew I wanted to learn about the Cricut machines.
One of my first projects was a teardrop leather earring. At the time, I could not find many people blogging about how to make leather earrings. I had to experiment on my own to figure out what worked.
It wasn’t easy. I ruined multiple mats. I quit and then tried again.
In the end, I figured it out! I learned what leather works best and what blades to use with each material. I designed earring templates so you too can make DIY leather earrings! I even upgraded to a Cricut Maker last year!
I love making DIY leather earrings on my Cricut Maker. We are adding new styles and leather earring templates each month! Our templates are free inside our resource library.
Leather earring cutouts are easy to make. Our DIY leather earring tutorials will guide you through the process every step of the way!
HOW TO MAKE DIY LEATHER EARRINGS WITH YOUR CRICUT MAKER
First things first, let’s gather everything you will need to make your own handmade leather earring cutouts at home with your Cricut Maker
Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air. You can make leather earrings with both machines, however, the Cricut Maker is the only machine that will cut thicker leather materials. Be sure to do your research before you buy.
If you are planning on using Cricut brand metallic leather, Cricut brand genuine leather, or Cricut brand faux leather, you can cut those materials with a Cricut Explore Air AND a Cricut Maker.

Blades. Blades matter when you are making leather earrings with your Cricut Machine. Different leather will require different blades. We use fine-point blades for thinner faux leather, a deep point blade for Cricut brand leather, and a knife blade for thicker genuine leather. Check out our Blades 101 HERE.
