Today, we are sharing this cute Free Layered Circus Elephant SVG For Circus-themed crafts with Cricut & Silhouette. This layered file is perfect for kids’ parties, party decorations, framed artwork and scrapbooking layouts.
This multi-layered Circus Elephant SVG file is great for creating artwork with cutting machines such as Cricut machines, Silhouette Cameo, xTool and Glowforge. Plus, it’s perfect for card making and scrapbooking layouts.

The beauty of this cute design is that this and our other mandalas can be used as a multi-layered file or flattened into a print-and-cut image for sublimation iron-on t-shirts or tote bags to fill and take to the beach. The great thing is you can also cut these files on your Cricut Joy. Plus, upload the files to Silhouette Studio.

Line up all the layers of your free Circus Elephant cutting files in design space to confirm that all files line up correctly and are the same size. Remember you are using ten layeres for the main design, so have the card stock ready to hand and think about the colours and layers….
- Dark purple

Cutting Your Free Circus Elephant Cut Files On Cricut
When you send your Layered Circus Elephant SVG/PNG files to your Cricut Maker, Explore or Joy to cut, ensure you use your brayer to roll the paper, vinyl or card to adhere to the mat. Movement will affect the cut.
How To Build Your Circus Elephant SVG Cut Files
I have suggested an order on the files that makes sense, and the layers are numbered accordingly above.
- Start by placing the back purple layer face up in front on you.
- Put glue to ear one and place onto the back layer, use you image as a guide but it needs to be the front ear silhouette.
- Now add sticky pads to the back of the pink elephant and pop onto te back purple layer.
- Now glue the two back blanket layers together and use sticky pads to atach to the elephants back.
- Put sticky pads on the back of ear number 2 and position just in front of the eye.
- Glue the headdress layers together and use sticky pads to put into position.
- Glue the silver podium in place and glue on the green trinagles.
- Now use nuvodrops to make the hoof nails ( Is that what they are called?)
- And finish by decorating the podium and popping a drop in the eye cavity for the eyeball.
