What Programs are Compatible with the Free Earring SVG Files?

- Any program that will support SVG & PNG files
Make sure you are using the latest version of the software as sometimes using an outdated version can cause trouble (which I ran into when using the file on a different computer that I had not updated my program yet).
Can I Purchase a Commercial License?
Yes! These free files are for personal use only unless you purchase a commercial license for small business use. Small businesses may purchase a commercial use license, click here to purchase. The terms of use require you to purchase a license to go with each individual earring design (one license does not cover the entire free set).
What’s the Best Paint to Use?
I suggest using acrylic paint pens. They are simplest way to paint such tiny details.
These are the exact acrylic paint pens that I used for my earrings. But Tooliart pens are considered to be some of the highest quality pens available, you can find them here.
Do I Need to Paint the Earrings?
No, you don’t need to paint them! Two of the designs I didn’t paint myself because the details were too intricate.
Thanks to the engraving and score lines, they look great unfinished. Here is one of the designs unpainted.
Should I Coat the Finished Earrings with Something?
Yes! I suggest a clear, non-yellowing UV spray. Many earring makers also coat their earrings in UV-resin, but this is not something I have tried.
Using a Laser Machine to Make Earrings
The easiest way to create detailed wooden earrings is by using a laser cutting and engraving machine. I used my xTool M1 to create the Thanksgiving earrings you see in this post. I’ve always gotten a great cut using my laser.
Making jewelry is one of my favorite things to make with my xTool M1. If you want to learn more about the machine, check out my full review of the xTool M1.
Why is a Laser Better than a Blade Cutting Machine for Earrings?
Using a laser to create wood earrings gives them a more professional look. You can cut much more intricate designs using a laser machine than a blade cutting machine. Plus, it is much more efficient because you don’t have to stop to change a blade for cutting, scoring, engraving, etc.
Can I Still Use a Silhouette or Cricut Machine?
Yes. You can use both of these machines to create earrings using very thin wood. But, not all of these designs will be possible due to their intricate lines.
I have both a Cricut Maker and a Silhouette Cameo and love both of them. But, for best results when making earrings, a laser machine is the best option.
If you want to make earrings using a Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker, you’ll need a Cricut knife blade and a deep blade (they can cut balsa wood and basswood up to 1.5 mm thick. If you’re using a Silhouette Cameo 3mm Kraft Blade for the Cameo 4 or the Deep Cut Blade or Kraft blade for the Cameo 3.
If you have one of the above machines, you can still use the files included (I even included Silhouette Studio files for you so that you won’t even need to have the Designer Edition of Silhouette Studio!)
What Materials Do You Need to Make Thanksgiving Wooden Earrings?
You will need the following materials
- metal earring studs
- 1/16 or 3mm basswood plywood or balsa wood
- heavy-duty glue (Gorilla clear glue, wood glue, or E6000 all work)
- wood stain (if desired)
- acrylic paint pens (if desired)
- non-yellowing clear coat (clear coat spray or Mod Podge)
*Make sure whatever studs you have will fit the design. I suggest purchasing a set of various sizes so that you have what you need on hand.
What Tools Do You Need to Make Wood Earrings?
- xTool M1 Laser engraver
- painter’s tape or honeycomb pins to hold down the wood while cutting
- small flat nose plier

For these earrings, there are no earring holes at the top of the earrings. Instead, these are designed to be stud earrings which is when you glue a metal stud to the back of the wood cut out.
