Earrings - Cricket Maker

Hello - and Happy Sunday afternoon crafting!

I've recently been learning to make earrings with my Cricket Maker. Isn't this machine wonderful! If only I had more time to play with it! Such is the dilemma with the working woman! Never enough time to get everything done.

I did the mirror image of the same card stock to go on the back and I used fabric glue (which is what I had on hand) to glue the front to the back. The cardstock is white on the back so I think it looks best with the back in the same pattern, or you could choose a coordinating pattern.

I also used a very small hole puncher (1/16 inch) that I got from Amazon. Some design shapes in Design Space have the hole already included in the shape so the Cricut will automatically cut out the hole for you, which is nice.

I bought card stock from Hobby Lobby and also bought these little gem stones from Michaels.

Since I live in San Angelo, TX, which is in the heart of Texas, I put the stone right at the point where I live. These would be great to make and sell where you live.

You can download any state image onto Design Space or find one already in there, and cut it out on any cardstock you choose.

I went with a Southwest cardstock to go with the Texas theme.
