FREE Valentine's Day Heart and Arrow earrings SVG cut file

For this projects, you literally just need a few materials and tools and you can whip up this baby in less than five minutes!
What you will need:

Trusty Cricut cutting machine. in this project I used my Cricut maker. However, you can use either a Cricut maker or a Cricut explore air 2
Cricut easy press or Cricut easy press mini ( if you are going to use iron on vinyl)
Faux leather. In any color you like.
Some adhesive or iron on vinyl
Leather glue
Earring hook
Needle nose pliers

First, grab your purple cricut mat and stick your faux leather to the top left side. Make sure shiny side is faced down.

Here’s a quick cheat sheet of which mat to use with which material.

Next, Open the free heart and arrow earrings SVG file in your Cricut design space.
Resize the earrings according to the size you wish your earrings to be. Big and bold to make a statement or small and sweet. It’s up to you ;)

Once you’ve decided on the size, go ahead and delete the arrows (for now) since we will be cutting the faux leather material first. Follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space as you cut.

Load your mat in to the cutting machine and press the Cricut button to cut. Unload the mat and remove the cut material.

Go back to Design space and click undo twice to bring the deleted arrows back. This time delete the hearts leaving only the arrows.

Load your vinyl on to the green cutting mat. Follow the prompts in Cricut design space and cut the vinyl. If you will be cutting an iron on vinyl make sure you place the vinyl shiny side faced down.

Once the cutting is done, unload and remove all pieces from the mat.

Assemble all cut pieces.

If you will be using an adhesive vinyl, simply transfer the arrows using a transfer tape to the faux leather hearts.

However, if you’re using a heat transfer vinyl(like I did here), there’s a few additional steps that you need to take.
First, place the faux leather on a Cricut easypress mat or if you don’t have one, you can simply use a towel (this is to protect your work surface from heat damage).

Set your Cricut easy press to 160C for 20 seconds. Place the htv ( heat transfer vinyl) arrows on the faux leather then add a cloth or a soft plain shirt on top of everything to ensure not to burn the leather.
Place the Cricut easy press on top of the t shirt, press the Cricut button and wait for the countdown. Remove the shirt and let the vinyl cool down for 5 seconds then peel.

*It is worth mentioning that it's best to follow the htv manufacturer's instructions you are using as not all vinyls are made the same (heat setting, pressing and cooling time may vary). These are simply the settings that I've used for this particular vinyl (I am using vivid flex vinyl for this project).

Ok! On to the next steps.
Fold then glue each heart on itself. Press down to make sure both sides are glued together.

Let dry for a few minutes.

With a jewelry pliers, add the hooks to each earring hole at the top of each heart. Unfortunately my Cricut maker wasn’t able to cut the holes (as they were too small), so I had to make the holes myself. Here, I used my Cricut weeder. You can make a hole using any sharp tool like scissors or the cricut piercer.

And that's it! Your earrings are now complete and ready to be worn! How easy was that?

Why not wear them to your next date night and look glam or gift them to someone who loves heart earrings this Valentine's day.
