How To

The first thing I did was find a fall leaf design in the Cricut Design Space. I chose this simple leaf design. I sized the top leaf to about 1″ long and then I duplicated the image and flipped it horizontally. I then duplicated my leaf again and sized about 1/8″ bigger than the top leaf to make the bottom leaf. I duplicated the larger leaf and flipped it horizontally. I made sure that each set of leaves was a different color in the Cricut Design Space so that the top and bottom leaves would cut separately. And then I cut them out of the faux suede.

Stack your top and bottom leaves together. Here you can see why the bottom leaf needed to be slightly larger so that you can see the contrasting color.

Next you need to poke a hole at the top of the leaves so you can string them on the earring. My Cricut weeder tool works well for this but you can use any sharp pointy object that will pierce the faux leather.

This is the part where you can feel like a real jewelry maker if you want. All you need are 2 bead pins, a couple of beads and your pliers. I cut the end my bead pins down to about 1 1/2″ using the cutter in my pliers. I strung the beads on the bead pins. Then, using my pliers, I bent up the end of the bead pin and squeezed it so it would fit inside the bead hole. I repeated the steps with the second bead pin.
