Making faux leather key fobs with a Cricut machine is a great way to add a unique, personalized touch to your keys. Whether you’re creating a special gift for someone or making something for yourself, Cricut makes it easy and fun to create beautiful key fobs. Here’s how to make them:
Step 1: Gather Supplies
Before beginning your project, you’ll need to gather all of the supplies necessary. You’ll need your Cricut machine, faux leather fabric, adhesive vinyl, a hook & loop closure set (also called Velcro), and scissors.
Step 2: Cut the Faux Leather
Once you have all of your supplies ready, it’s time to cut out the faux leather. First, choose a design that you want to use and upload it into the Cricut Design Space.
Then set your machine to the “Fabric” setting and let it cut out the design. Once the design is cut out, carefully remove it from the mat and set aside.
Step 3: Add Vinyl Decoration
Now that you have your faux leather cut out, you can add some decoration if you like. Choose an adhesive vinyl that coordinates with your faux leather and use your Cricut machine to cut out any designs or words that you want on your key fob. Weed away any excess vinyl from around the edges before applying it onto the fabric.
Step 4: Attach Hook & Loop Closure
After decorating your key fob with vinyl, it’s time to attach the hook & loop closure set (Velcro). Peel off one side of each piece of Velcro and attach them opposite each other onto either end of the key fob. Make sure they are securely attached before moving onto the next step.
Making faux leather key fobs with a Cricut machine is an easy process that requires minimal supplies. All you need is a Cricut machine, faux leather fabric, adhesive vinyl, hook & loop closures (Velcro), and scissors. With just these few things you can create beautiful personalized key fobs in no time!
