• You can use heat transfer vinyl for the tail instead of faux leather, too! If I had used heat transfer vinyl, I would have used Siser White Glitter HTV.

Step 3: Make the Project

Set Up Your Design

1. Open a new canvas in Cricut Design Space.
2. Upload the SVG file for the Bunny Tail Eairrngs to your canvas.
3. You can cut the tail from faux leather or heat transfer vinyl.

Prepare to Cut

1. Click Make It.
2. Mirror your mat(s), since you’ll be cutting the faux leather face down.
3. Choose the Faux Leather (Paper Thin) setting with More pressure for the bunny mat and the tail.

Cut the Faux Leather

1. Place the faux leather pretty side down on a Strong Grip (purple) mat.
2. Secure all edges with blue painter’s tape.
3. Load the mat into your Cricut.
4. Press the C button to begin cutting.
5. When the cut is complete, without unloading the mat, use a sharp tool to gently lift the edge and check the cut.
6. Repeat the cut if necessary by pressing the cut button again.
7. Once the cut is complete, unload the mat and remove the shapes.

Attach the Tail

1. If you cut the tail from faux leather, use fabric glue to attach the tail to the bunny body. Place the glued earrings under a heavy book to dry for about 30 minutes.
2. If you cut the tail from heat transfer vinyl, press the tail onto the bunny body using an EasyPress Mini on Low or a regular heat press set to 265 degrees.

Assemble the Earrings

1. Use flat nose pliers to turn the bottom loop on the earring hooks 90 degrees so the earrings will hang straight.
2. Then attach earring hooks to the jump ring and close the jump rings securely.
