I’m so excited about my new DIY earrings leather shipment!
This leather haul DIY earrings post shares my recent shipment receipt of new leathers for my DIY earrings projects. I am always looking for new leather options that cut nicely with my Cricut machine. I like leathers that are soft, that look good on the back side, and that are a great thickness for my Cricut. These are all aspects that are often difficult to see online. I’m super excited about this leather!

Watch me unbox this new leather shipment in my YouTube video below.
This was a new etsy shop for me. I decided to buy from the shop for a few reasons.
- Size of leather – most of these leather pieces came in 5×5 inch pieces. I loved this because I can make so many different earring designs with these scraps.
- Price – The price for these leather scraps was great. I paid about $2.50 per piece.
- Designs – I loved the various textures, colors and designs.
- Visibility to the back of the leather – I liked that the shop owner showed pictures of the back of each leather.
I bought this leather at this shop on etsy. The site is huge, but I had the most fun shopping in the mix packs section of the website. In this section they have multi-sheet packs in various sizes (5×5, 6×6, 10×10).
Some of the leathers that I purchased are below.
I can’t wait to get started with these leathers. They’re super soft and feel like great material. I also like the thickness and have confidence in the cuts on the Cricut machine.
