Step 1

First, click here for the design in Cricut® Design Space™.

Step 2

Click 'Make It' in the upper right of your screen. Click ‘Continue' in the lower right of the next screen.

Step 3

Select your leather type; then place your material onto your cutting mat. Place masking tape around the perimeter of your leather on the mat for an extra secure hold.
TIP: Attach transfer tape to the back before you place on your cutting mat. This will save your mat from leather lint sticking and reducing the lifespan of your mat.

Step 4

Load the mat into your Cricut® machine, change the housing in clamp B to the deep blade; then follow the prompts in Design Space®.

Step 5

Remove the leather and pieces from the mat.

Step 6

Repeat Step 3-5 for your balsa wood but this time, switch to your knife blade.
TIP: If needed, use an emery board to smooth the sides of your wood shape.

Step 7

Attach crystals, evenly spaced, along the round edge of the bottom of your wood shapes. Let dry.

Step 8

Open a large jump ring, add a wood shape then a leather shape and close the jump ring.

Step 9

Add a fishhook earring with a small jump ring.

Step 10

Repeat Steps 8-9 for a second earring.
