How to Make Leather Napkin Rings:

There are a few of import things you lot demand inwards monastic say to cutting leather on the Cricut Explore Air 2:

• You demand a Strong Grip Cutting Mat (to tally the leather down)


• A Deep Cut Blade (the dark housing)


• You demand to motion all of the white stars on the bar to 1 side (see photograph inwards bottom left above)


• You demand to cutting off the slice of your leather sheet that would coil nether the star wheels

I used the inwards a higher identify tips to cutting leather on the Cricut Explore Air 2 for my napkin rings. Once they were cut, I knew I wanted to add together a subtle vacation flare to them, hence I decided to role iron-on vinyl. With the Martha Stewart EasyPress it is soooo easy to add together vinyl to your designs. It’s a ameliorate version of an iron! Better because it’s to a greater extent than portable, provides fifty-fifty heat, as well as has specific estrus settings! You only estrus it up, as well as press it downwardly on your vinyl. That’s it.

So acquire ahead as well as impress that instant Design Space File on around Martha Stewart gilded iron-on vinyl. Make certain to position the shiny side down, as well as to choose “Mirror ON” earlier you lot impress the pattern (i.e. it should impress backwards).

Peel your leather arrows off of the mat. Then identify your vinyl words on exceed of the leather (you volition convey to cutting out the words individual, as well as hence withdraw the parts of the vinyl that are non needed, only leaving the letters underneath the shiny protective layer). Place your give-and-take on exceed of your leather as well as role the recommended settings for “faux leather” amongst the EasyPress to apply your design. Peel off the plastic protective layer spell it’s nevertheless warm, as well as your napkin rings are done!

I could non dearest this projection more! I dearest the subtlety of adding gilded onto gold. Every invitee volition honor it when they sit down downwardly at the table, but it’s non an overbearing business office of the tabular array design.

And how practiced create those metallic element napkin rings look?! I may build around to a greater extent than inwards a chocolate-brown leather only because I dearest them hence much!

What create you lot think?! If you lot recreate these, or essay around other leather projection on your Cricut, I’d dearest to encounter it!
