PROJECT 1 – SNOWFLAKE EARRINGS
To see the written tutorial for the Snowflake Earrings project, click here.
NOTE: In my MakerFest video, I strongly recommend using Cricut brand faux leather to cut the snowflake earring shapes. It cuts intricate shapes very well. If you can’t find it, or don’t want to use it, you can also use Glitter Transparent Jelly Sheets instead of faux leather.
I made this version of the earrings using this product (listed below). I followed all the same directions – I even used Faux Leather (Paper Thin) as the cut setting. I repeated the cut one additional time before I unloaded the mat.
- Cricut Maker, or Cricut Explore Air 2, or Cricut Joy.
- Cricut Purple Strong Grip Cutting Mat
- Cricut Green Standard Grip Cutting Mat
- Cricut Easy Press Mini or small Easy Press
- Cricut EasyPress Mat
- Teflon Cover Sheet or Parchment Paper
- Cricut Faux Leather (Silver) from Amazon or from the Cricut website here.
If the Cricut Faux leather is temporarily unavailable, you can use the following materials instead:
- Glitter Transparent Jelly Sheets – more jelly sheets that would look great are these and these . I would suggest trying these and these as well if the jelly sheets I used are sold out. (I used the light blue jelly sheet from the first assortment listed above, then I added a layer of Siser Easyweed Glitter Heat Transfer Vinyl in the color Aqua on top, then Siser EasyWeed Heat Transfer Vinyl in Pale Blue as the top snowflake layer )
- Silver Cardstock, like this one from Cricut. Use the Med Cardstock (80lb) Weight setting and glue the front and back shapes together just like I show in the video. Then coat with Mod Podge a few times for a thicker, more durable earring or ornament!
- Cricut Foil Iron-On (Chrome)
- Cricut Everyday Iron-On (White)
- Cricut Weeding Tool Set
- Blue Painter’s Tape (I like 3/4″ size but 1″ works, too)
- Art Glitter Glue with Ultra-Fine Metal Tip
- 1/16″ Hole Punch (or this 1/16″ Hole Punch)
- Baby Wubbers Chain Nose Jeweler’s Pliers (or any small flat nose pliers you have with smooth jaws)
- Baby Wubbers Flat Nose Jeweler’s Pliers (or any small flat nose pliers you have with smooth jaws)
- Earrings Hooks in Silver color
- Jump Rings, 5mm size, Silver color
PROJECT 2 – SNOWFLAKE ORNAMENT
- Cricut Maker, or Cricut Explore Air 2, or Cricut Joy.
- Cricut Purple Strong Grip Cutting Mat

- Cricut Easy Press Mini or small Easy Press
- Cricut EasyPress Mat
- Teflon Cover Sheet or Parchment Paper
- I used Cricut Faux Leather (Sapphire) and from the Cricut website here But this snowflake ornament is larger than the earrings and will cut well from almost any faux leather you choose! Also see the snowflake earrings supply list above for some alternative materials to try, like jelly sheets and cardstock.
- Cricut Foil Iron-On (Royal Blue)
