I have been making faux leather name keychains. Saw a tutorial that used double sided adhesive instead of glue. Just duplicate your offset one more time and cut the adhesive. No having to wait for glue to dry! Need to order some other colors of HTV and faux leather. Going to try making shaped keyrings next.

[@tifffteal]

That's brilliant! What cut setting do you use for the adhesive? And is it double sided tape?

[@AngieHolden]

Yep adhesive is definitely your preference.

[@normazaharioudakis115]

Thank you so much I’ve watched so many designers and I always check your videos before my projects and you are the best I’ve had my cricut maker for almost five years and this is my first key ring and manage even stickers still working on them I’m so excited thank you so much 😊.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@julieann5196]

You're right Angie these are super easy to make. Do you have another recommendation for faux leather? When I clicked on your link for the leather it says currently unavailable. Thanks for sharing.

[@AngieHolden]

Booo!! I have tried several amazon brands with good luck!

[@willemienbooysen3477]

Good day very interesting. Can I use a normal iron with no steam . I did have a easy press yet. Please let me know.

[@AngieHolden]

Yes you can!

[@user-fs4vm2ob9z]

thank you, I was looking for this tutorial and now I know how to get started. one more question, what blade do you use for this?

[@AngieHolden]

Faux leather uses the fine point blade.

[@personallyyours7358]

Hi Angie! Loved the video! Would you like to use Maker’s Plastic for a key chain? One sheet cut out with hole punch to attach? Let me know and I’ll send the sample product.

[@shelbycummings1491]

Which blade did you use for this to cut the faux leather?

[@AngieHolden]

The fine point blade works for faux leather.

[@beckykearns1296]

Would these work with fun foam as well?

[@AngieHolden]

I don’t think so but I have not tried that.

[@teresagomez3728]

Very cute. I want to make them for luggage tags. I ordered your book too. What blade do you recommend for faux leather?

[@AngieHolden]

Faux leather uses the fine point blade.

[@4Fun0nly]

does hot glue work as well on faux leather?

[@AngieHolden]

I don’t like it as well.

[@raedeenchambers8721]

What is the difference between Unite and Attach?
Thank you

[@AngieHolden]

Attach just cuts them together. So in this case it would have cut the rectangle out. Unite makes it all one piece so the sides of the rectangle disappear.

[@nataliepacheco3754]

What blade is used to cut the leather?

[@AngieHolden]

Faux leather like this cuts with the fine point blade.

[@scuevas1023]

Angie ver nice! What’s the font name?

[@AngieHolden]

I showed it on the screen. I frankly never remember font names!

[@scuevas1023]

@@AngieHolden oh okay I guess I missed it. I will see it again. Thank you!

[@annacardona4035]

What font did you use I love it!!

[@lauriefletcher117]

I was wondering the same thing!

I showed it in the video in the drop-down.
