I've been using faux leather to make some paper clip planner decor for my daughter and some cute hairclips for my granddaughters. I've used a variety of leathers, and my conclusion is... don't skimp on faux leather.
You can get some adorable prints and solids on Amazon for a bargain! But don't! It does not cut as flawlessly as faux leather from a company that specializes in faux leather such as The Polka Dotted Peach (NOT an affiliate link, just a regular link to a business I like).
Compare the crisp cut of the better "leather" to the one on the right.
The Polka Dotted Peach and other similar companies are not expensive, they just aren't dirt cheap. A 9x12 sheet of leather runs $3 to $5 typically. On Amazon, you can get 6-9 sheets (smaller or about the same size and thinner) for about $9.00. But in the long run... if you want crisp cuts, don't fall for the cheap price.
