Unless it’s a taco shirt, I’m not one to go all out getting dressed for Valentine’s Day. Red is definitely not my color, and I have one pink shirt in my entire wardrobe. But I had such fun making suede earrings for Halloween, fall, and Christmas that I thought I’d whip up a cute pair of suede earrings for Valentine’s Day.
These heart earrings come together in less than 10 minutes, making them a super easy Valentine’s Day jewelry project. You could whip out a whole bunch and gift them to your girlfriends at a Galentine’s Day party — so fun!
I love working with Cricut’s faux suede to make jewelry—it doesn’t weigh anything and it cuts beautifully. I suggest using Cricut’s Strong Grip mat when cutting faux suede so that it won’t shift while the machine cuts. Cricut’s faux leather is also a beautiful and lightweight choice!

Heart Suede Earrings Directions
Making these earrings is one of the easiest projects EVER. Cut out the downloaded file on your Cricut or other cutting machine. I used red faux suede and the purple strong grip mat and it worked really well. Using your poker, make a small hole at the top of the teardrop shape. It should be about 1/16″ from the top — pretty darn close to the edge!
Use your needle-nose pliers to work open the ring at the bottom of the fishhook earring. Slide the teardrop onto the earring using the hole you just poked, and clamp the ring back in place.
They are ready to wear! I spent less than ten minutes designing, cutting, and assembling these earrings. And since I did the design work for you, you just have to cut, make, and wear!

Super easy! Hope you’ve enjoyed this easy Valentine’s day craft!

If I have a Cricut maker, which blade should I use for these?

Hi Becca — you can use the regular fine point blade for Cricut Suede :)

AWESOME earrings. May I please get the patterns also to cut on my Design Space? I’m new here and hope it’s easy to figure out. Thanks a bunch. Kari
Cori George says
these are designed to cut in Design Space! Here’s a tutorial for uploading SVGs (like these earrings) and cutting them in Design Space:

Hope that helps!
Kitzie says
I tried to cut the fringe earrings but I am having trouble. When I click make it, it separates the earring from the individual lines cut to make the fringes. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas what I need to do? I absolutely love these earrings.
Thank you, Kitzie

Hi Kitzie – once you import the image into Design Space and it shows on your canvas, you will need to select all images and choose ‘Attach’. This will make sure the fringe cut lines stay where they are supposed to.

Dianna says
Which machine are you using to cut with the faux suede? I have an air2, would I be able to cut with my machine or does it require the maker?
Liz, HLMS Reader Support says
Hi Dianna – I have cut faux suede with both the Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker as they both use the fine point blade to cut this material – so you’re good to go with either machine :)
Happy Crafting!

Can you share the link for the pu leather you purchased from amazon please.
Cori George says
Hi Jennifer! I made these using Cricut’s faux suede, not PU leather :)
Debbie says
Hi again,
Do you think it would be possible to make dolls clothes in faux suede or faux leather with the cricut?
Crystal Summers says
Hi Debbie,
As long as you have a cut file/pattern, I don’t see why not! Let us know how it goes.
Happy crafting!
