Great Ideas for Using Cricut Faux Leather

Cricut has some amazing cutting materials but I must say that the Cricut Faux Leather is a favorite of mine.  I keep getting questions from people about what to make with it….I bet you could use some ideas too, right ?

In my March Diva Days Online Crop (find out more about Diva Days HERE), one of our 10 Diva Challenges was to make something with the Cricut Faux Leather…and my gosh, did the Divas (that’s what I call the attendees cause we try to master our Cricut Explore machines and create like Divas!) deliver some awesome projects  !  The projects were so fabulous I asked them if I could share with you  AND they said YES ! Thanks Divas ! 

First, let me give you some tips on the Cricut Faux Leather and cutting with your Cricut Explore. Watch the video below.  And don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my You Tube Channel so you don’t miss future videos and tips.
