Leather earrings are super easy to make. It’s true- you can make leather earrings by hand with scissors but the easiest way I’ve found to make leather earrings is with a cutting machine!
I own a Cricut Maker and a Cricut Explore Air. 2 Yes, you can make leather earrings with BOTH machines.

For beginners, I suggest using Cricut leather. Cricut has done all the work for you to make sure each cut is clean every time with their brand leather. Start with Cricut leather first. Once you have the hang of cutting leather with a Cricut, try using other leathers!
I love Cricut Black Genuine Leather and Cricut Camel Genuine Leather.

You will also need a cutting mat. Cricut cutting mats are based on what you are cutting. Most of my earrings are made on a purple mat, but I do use a green mat for Cricut Faux Leather (and all my paper cutting too!). I love this 3 pack from Amazon. It is the best deal on mats!
Lastly, you will need the leather earring shape for your earring. I have free leather earring temple files inside my resource library. Check that out here!
