Oh wow now that's great to see that a paper cutter can actually cut thru that faux leather, I have a few of them, but just didn't think that it would have worked, I'm a bit surprised.
Omg i was so worried I needed a heat press or my Cricut! Thank you so much for using an alternative way, can’t wait to try these out 🙂
Love this video. Great idea for little gifts.
Thank you so much for the detailed video. I bought everything mentioned in video. I just loved how easy and pretty my wrist lanyards turned out.

You're welcome 😊
''I have been turned loose with super glue'', describes me perfectly😁
Haha it's great!
I love it
Glad you loved it!
Thank you. I’ve been making key fobs but sewing them. Love these faux leather, I have those plyers but my rubber cover has cracked😭
Hi..when applying the super glue do you on the whole leather piece or just the outer ends.?thanks
Love watching all of these. Can you please tell me where you get your faux leather from? I love the designs.
Hey there! I'm happy to share I get my faux leather from Craft Chameleon. Good luck with your project! ---Becky
Been making these a few months now.
Aren't they fantastic Joyce! I love how easy they are! ---Becky
❤❤❤
❤️
Can you share where you got your leathers? Great tutorial!
Hey Connie! My leatherette came from Craft Chameleon! Thanks for stopping by! ---Becky
I love your demonstration. Where can I find that faux leather?
Hey Tannia, I scored this faux leather from Craft Chameleon. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Great video! Can you tell me what super glue type can I use ?
Thank you.
Hey Francy, I used the brush-on Gorilla Glue, it worked great and the brush was amazing easy to use. I have also used the gel type super glue, it also works great on leatherette. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hello! Do you but anything around the edges to prevent it from fraying?
Hey Cynthia! Nope, the leatherette has held up very well! ---Becky
What kind of glue was it that u used??
HI, EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. I'm not sure where to look for Crafty Chameleon? Yours were so cute.
Also, I was wondering if all Faux Leather can have the (dull side) be used for htv? Or, just slap 2 designs back to back and use the glue would be a better option? I would appreciate any help, thanks.
Hey Michelle, CraftChameleon.com is their website. You can absolutely use HTV for the dull side of your Leatherette, whatever you prefer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles thank you so much 💗
where do you get your leather? thanks :)
Loved this. Where can I buy the clamps and hardware?
You can find them on Amazon. 😊
Where did get your leather from?
I can pull my leatherette right out of the fob. I even had my husband so it to see if I wasn’t tightening it enough but thats not the issue. Should i glue the ends first? Or is the problem that i only use one layer of leatherette?
Good question, I guess I've never tried only one layer of leatherette. If you can pull the leatherette out, I would say that the teeth aren't grabbing it on the inside, so I would try a second layer. I don't pull on them with my whole strength or anything, but I have given them quite a tug and mine are secure. Hope this helps and let me know if you try two layers! ---Becky
Love the “turned loose with superglue” comment
Hey Nikki! Super glue is definitely my "inner kid craft", it always ends up everywhere! Glad you enjoyed the video! ---Becky
Great Video!! Where did you purchase the Bee leatherette? Its not on Craft Chameleon . TYSM Becky
Hey there! You are correct, the bee leatherette was part of a scrap pack a friend of mine passed on, leatherette wasn't her thing. Let me see if I can find out where she purchased it from. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles I had the same question as Meekaboo32. I loved your video!
I tried this with the same glue and they were hard/ridged and they separated less than a day later, just sitting on a table. I switched to 1/4” red line tape and they are so soft and supple like leather should be. I am also able to put the sides together before clamping. I totally recommend the tape if you’re having trouble with supergluing.
Great tip Beth! Thanks for sharing! ---Becky
Where can I purchase the tape from please (from UK)
Why not use heat and bond strips…I ordered some key fobs from a gal and the super glue was all over and some of the side were pulling apart I was not impressed and would thing the heat and bond tape would be a much better option 🤷🏻♀️
@@kerryburgess5376 because heat…and I’m not sure heat and faux leather mix
What does the tape look like? Thank you
What paper trimmer do you have?
Hey Taylor, it's Fiskars brand, I'll link one I found on Amazon below so you can see exactly which one it is. Hope this helps! ---Becky
www.amazon.com/Fiskars-SureCut-Portable-Paper-Trimmer/dp/B000OMYB18/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=fiskars+paper+trimmer&qid=1621326566&sr=8-7
Great video, put this idea on my crafty to do list! Can we have a video of the faux leather being submitted as well as being made into a wrist strap? 👍
Hey Amanda! I will definitely add these to the list! Hope this helps! ---Becky
Can u use any leather to make them
I'm sure you can Marisa, you may just have to cut the leather by hand if the paper trimmer isn't strong enough to cut it. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Forgive me if I missed it and ask a stupid question. I am wondering about the inside double layer of leatherette. Is it for looks or is the leatherette not strong enough for a single outside layer or another purpose for 2 layers?
Hey Andrea! Not a stupid question at all! The leatherette is very plain on the back side, so I like to make them double sided so they are prettier AND because it makes them sturdier. So you are right on both fronts!
Hope this helps! ---Becky
With the glue are they long lasting? X
Our apologies for the delay in response and we hope you've found the answer but if you are still having any troubles, please feel free to write in to mail@designbundles.net or join us in a live chat so we can help with your next project! - Brittany
Great video. About how many do you get out of one sheet of leatherette ?
Hey Tiffany! The sheets are typically 8" x 10" and I can get typically 8 x 1" strips, but that all depends on the size of the hardware you purchase. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Thanks so much for responding. That really does help ?
@@DesignBundles
Where can I purchase the plier you ised in this video?
She said Amazon.
Can you sew them instead of gluing them?
Yes you can!
Where do you get your hardware?
Amazon :)
I just recently tried the gorilla glue and it does not give the wristlet any bend. It also came apart after letting it dry for a day.. is there any other alternatives to mending them together?
Hi! I use heat hem tape!
@@Thedreamteam99The heat wont ruin the color or patter on the leather?
Where do you purchase your faux leather?
here is a link www.143vinyl.com/faux-leather/?partner=440066
Where do you get your leather?
Hello Stephanie,
You can likely find it on Etsy! 😊
Did u use faux leather on both sides ?
Yes, the faux leather was one page and then you fold it in half to create the leatherette. - Brittany
Hi there! You can use faux leather on both sides if they are glued together! - Dawn 🙂
Como llama esa cosa que la sostiene
Hola Vicente, el cierre de hardware se llama KeyFob Hardware Set de Amazon, publicaré un enlace a continuación para usted. ¡Espero que esto ayude! ---Becky

How much do you sell these for? Or can anyone help me out?
Hey Yuliana! I searched online and the low end seems to be around $6, which seems low in my opinion. I would feel out your local market and determine what will work best for you. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles ok thank you
Where do I get the leather
You can find it at your local craft store or even on Etsy or Amazon!
@@DesignBundles thank you I'll order some and them you make y look so easy
Is that fabric both faux leather sheets or what
Hi there! The key fobs are using faux leather sheets! - Dawn
@@DesignBundles front and back no vinyl or anything I've been learning how to make keychains so any input and what that glue is would be so helpful for me to know? Thanks
And what kinda glue is that
You did not make a key fob. A fob is electronic. You made a wristlet.
Hey Leigh! Thanks for stopping by and watching the video. I understand that this may cause some confusion, but key fob is being used in the crafting community in this way, not just for the electronic key fobs. This is not correct by the technical definition, but it is what it is. Hope to see you on future videos! ---Becky
