      Hi, Britney! Yes, it can! You can choose "Faux Leather (Paper Thin)" as the material setting from within Cricut Design Space. Also choose "More" from the pressure dropdown. The blade that I cut my faux leather with is the standard fine point blade using these settings. :) If you try it, let me know how it goes!

    Is faux leather waterproof? Do you need to seal the earrings at all? Great video!

    • @AmyRomeu
      @AmyRomeu  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for your comment. Senna! I don't seal my earrings at all - that being said, faux leather is generally waterproof on the front and then more fabric-like on the back (usually felt). So I don't recommend getting faux leather wet, because the back would be very absorbent and not good for the material long term.
