Leverback Earring Card Punch by Easy Earring Cards

Product Information

This could be because the hole is too close to the edge and you want to keep the earring hole from tearing. I always like to make ONE earring shape with a hole first, then DUPLICATE that shape to create the second earring.

Sometimes you may want to “hide” an earring hole in a faux leather earring SVG to keep it from cutting. Why would you want to do that? Here are some reasons: After uploading your earring SVGs to Cricut Design Space, you have to first UNGROUP them so you can manipulate them individually.Key concepts taught in the video tutorial include how to mirror a design in Cricut Design Space, how to cut faux leather, and how to iron foil vinyl on faux leather. Now that you know how to make earring holes in faux leather earrings… what if you want change or hide the current earring hole, or create your own earring hole?

What I like to do is let the Cricut make the earring hole cut first even if I know it may not cut all the way through. Then I follow up with the hole punch if necessary because that way I know exactly where the hole should be made. This created perfect earring hole placement so the earrings look professional, symmetrical, and they hang the exact same way. HOW DO YOU KEEP AN EARRING HOLE FROM CUTTING WITH A CRICUT?But I’ve found it’s best to use a combination of the machine cut and manual hole punching techniques.

If you want your teardrop shape earrings to curve, fold the top of the earring in half (gently!) and use your hole punch to make a hole through BOTH sides of the leather. If you make any of these faux leather earrings, please share a photo in our Facebook group, or tag me on social media with #makershowandtell. My earring designs have two layers — one is intended for the faux leather (the brown layer) and one is intended for a foil vinyl iron-on layer (the pinkish layer). If you don’t want to do the iron-on layer, they’ll look good with just the faux leather layer. Now some of the earring designs have pre-cut holes, but a few do not. Those that do not are this way on purpose so you can choose whether you want them to hang straight or curved. If you want them to hang straight, just punch a hole at the top with the leather punch and you’re good to go.Or you may want to change the location of the earring hole altogether (if you want the earrings to dangle a different way, for example). The first way is to let the cutting machine, like a Cricut or Silhouette, cut the earring holes. You’ll either need an earring SVG shape that already has the hole incorporated into the design, or you can add your own earring hole to the SVG before cutting. More on this in a bit. Much gratitude to many readers who requested this project (Lois W., Dori L., Pam C., Melissa P., Kara, Nena H., Helen L., Sarah B., Meredith B., Karen, Sandy, Julie M., Kristie G., and Dianna F.). Now it’s time to put a jump ring through the hole(s) of your earring. Use your needle nose pliers to open up a jump ring and place the end of the ring through the hole.
