How to Cut Leather with Cricut Maker
Hi everyone! For those of you who wanted to know how I cut leather with my Cricut machine I filmed a couple projects using real leather and the Cricut Maker.
I like to cut fabrics and leather with the rotary blade but you can cut leather with the knife blade and deep cut blade as well ... this video shows how I use the scoring wheel to cut my pieces.
I made a double layer pair of leather earrings as well as my first leather wallet. The earrings will be great for beginners!
The materials I used (or similar) are linked below!
Real leather remnants (from Hobby Lobby) or here on amazon:

You can also use Cricut Faux Leather: shrsl.com/2srbr
I used Cricut Maker for these projects, along with the Scoring Wheel.

I just saw a couple of videos where they used transfer tape on fuzzy side and place that side on mat. Then they duplicated each cut piece stacking right on top. So cutter made 2-4 passes especially on thicker leather. It made the cuts much cleaner and sharper. ☺️ But I really love your vids. Thank you for the help.

Hi @ladilynne, any idea which transfer tape they used? 🙏

Thanks so much for the tips! I cut faux leather at the moment with my Cricut and learned to used the Canvas setting. It works like a charm.

Did you cut the wallet with the blade , it can cut around sharp curves

Use the Purple super strong mat and bray your leather to the mat really well. It makes the mat a mess at the end but big deal, the leather does not move on the mat!!!!!! Works great for me. The braying is the most important part so it doesn't shift around during cutting!! Happy Crafting

Hi, I just found your channel and it has been so helpful. Did you make a video of sewing the wallet? I am trying to make a wallet, but I am having a hard time with my sewing machine settings when I get to three layers of leather. I was curious what settings you used. Thanks!

@AppalachianHomeCo 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thank you I'm so glad you enjoy my channel! I believe I used the 90/14 needle but my leather was really soft and pliable so you might need larger for tougher materials. I used a regular stitch but increased the length to about a 4. And sewed pretty slowly. Hope that helps!

Nice job Christy. I really like that wallet. Did you use any closure on it? I have some magnet closets but I’ve never used them.

@AppalachianHomeCo 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you!! I didn’t use any closure, for this pattern the wallet stayed closed well. I really want to make a ladies wallet with hand stitching and maybe a rivet button clasp but I haven’t used the magnets before either.🤔

Thank you for this video! My friend asked if I could make this mask that is the Brown Eagle from LOTR I think. I found a pattern on Etsy but it includes tiny holes around the eyes to weave a visible string. I had my Cricut for over a year but have not tried the knife blade I bought yet nor leather. If you see this, do you think the little holes are possible or would they be problematic (for instance pulling the leather perhaps)? Thanks for any tips if you have any!

@AppalachianHomeCo 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! It depends on how tiny the holes are, ...I bought a punch for doing tiny holes on leather so I usually don't try to cut them out with cricut. I think I got the punch from amazon.
