Yes, that’s right… you may be surprised to know that you can use any of the current Cricut machines to cut faux leather! That’s because they all come standard with the regular fine point blade that I use to cut faux leather. No special blade needed!

🛒If you need to buy or replace a Cricut, I recommend buying from the official Cricut website instead of Amazon or another seller. This is because Cricut will offer support (and a replacement, if necessary) if your machine is purchased through them and under warranty.

💡Important Note: Even though the three Cricut Joy machines can cut faux leather, these machines don’t have the ability to rerun the cut, which can be an important step to getting a great cut.

If you want to cut faux leather often, you’ll want to invest in one of the larger Explore or Maker machines. You can learn more in my Faux Leather Quick Start Guide.

More Faux Leather Suppliers

• Thicket Company is on Etsy. They have great solids, nice small pebbled textures, and chunky glitters.
• Art of Fabric Folding is on Etsy. They have both prints and solids.
• Northern Boreal Design (Canada)
• Silver Fox Vinyl (Canada)
• Glitter Girl Supply

💡Important Note: I’m in the U.S., so my personal recommendations are U.S. suppliers. However, I’ve asked faux leather crafters from around the world to share their favorite suppliers with me, so this list will grow over time.

• The Purple Strong Grip cutting mat is designed for thicker materials like faux leather. The stickier surface keeps the faux leather stuck down on the mat.
• Blue Painter’s Tape also helps keep the faux leather from shifting on the mat while cutting.
• A sharp weeding tool is key for checking the cut before unloading the mat. You can use a Weeding Hook or a Pin Pen.
• Small curved scissors or embroidery scissors are great for trimming fuzzy edges of faux leather, or cutting any little areas that don’t cut all the way through.
• A 1/16″ Hole Punch makes the perfect sized earring holes in faux leather for earrings! I like this one and this one. 
• Remember, the Standard Fine Point Blade is included with your Cricut machine, so no need to buy a special blade.
