Manualidades Chic

Hi everybody! Well, a few months ago I had a great idea to start an etsy business. I live in sunny Spain where we have a very high quality leather at a very reasonable price. So I got to experimenting what I could make with my cricut machine. Long story short i could get it to cut real leather all the way. The leather wouldn't cut all the way through or it would snag on the blade and get ripped off the mat... Until now! I've found that the best setting for cutting all types of real leather is the Faux suede setting. It cuts each cut only twice and you can test to see if it has cut all the way through by picking up a corner with the weeding tool. If it hasn't cut all the way through just hit the C button again and it will make another pass. I have made very intricate cuts using this method. Happy Cutting!!

Today I'm going to show you how to make this super cute palm tree keychain. I have the cricut explore air 2 but if you don't you can still cut this out by hand. The leaves of the palm have been mirrored so that when you glue them together to wrong side facing the wrong side of the leather they match up perfectly. I did add a stud to secure it better but you could just glue it. The trunk just folds on itself with a little glue holding it together. Here's the free palm tree template: palm tree keychain template Tengo un Cricut explore air 2 pero si no la tienes puedes cortar lo a mano.  Aquí tienes la plantilla para hacer lo: plantilla palmera. Las hojas están dibujadas con espejo para que cuando los tienes que pegar se queda bien. El trunco se dobla por la mitad y ya está. Aqui esta la maquina que he usado para hacer ...
