MY FAVORITE FAUX LEATHER SUPPLIERS

Etsy

Thicket Company – This is my go-to shop for my workshop craft kits. They offer great options for faux leather, especially prints and SMOOTH faux leathers, which I love to use for applying heat transfer vinyl on! Visit them here.

Art of Fabric Folding – colorful assortment of faux leather, as well as unique materials like jelly sheets and textured materials. They also have a lot of great cork sheets. Check them out here.

Trendy Luxe – this shop has some really interesting textures of faux leather. They also update their assortment weekly so I check back often to see what’s new in their shop. You can see it here.

Millie & Olive Fabric – this shop has some amazing patterns of faux leather! Great assortment of polka dots, stripes, bright colors, and tons of glitter sheets too. Visit them here.

Peggy Sue Also – I could not list my favorite Etsy shops for earring materials without mentioning this AMAZING shop. Be aware that this shop features mostly genuine leathers, not faux leather. But if you get the earring making bug and want to start making earrings with genuine leather and a die cutting machine like the Sizzix Big Shot or Sizzix Big Shot Plus, Peggy Sue Also features gorgeous, soft leathers you’ll love to make earrings with.

Craftyrific – The website for the Etsy shop by the same name. Great selection of seasonal faux leather prints and patterns.

Amazon

It’s hard to list specific shops on Amazon that sell faux leather because the assortment changes constantly. However, I do have a few favorite faux leathers on Amazon.

Smooth Faux Leather in Assorted Colors – I make a lot of earrings from faux leather with heat transfer vinyl pressed on top, and I find smooth faux leather is best for this application. This smooth faux leather from Amazon is available in assorted colors and is my go-to smooth faux leather for my tutorials and workshops.

Colored Cork Faux Leather – Cork is one of my favorite earring materials to work with, and this is a great assortment package to start with. To see how to make Cricut earrings from cork, check out my tutorial here.

Printed Cork Faux Leather – These cork assortments on Amazon are filled with pretty patterns. Cork is so lightweight and easy to cut. I have a YouTube video on how I used this patterned cork here:

Chunky Glitter Faux Leather – This is a great assortment of colored chunky glitter faux leathers from Amazon. I always have this chunky glitter assortment on hand.
