Cutting Your Butterfly Cake Topper SVG Numbers

When you send your Butterfly Cake Topper SVG/PNG files to your Cricut to cut, ensure you use your brayer to roll the paper, vinyl or card to adhere to the mat. Movement will affect the cut. 

Remember you are using 5 separate colours so have the card stock ready to hand.

If your cutting mat looses its stickiness this will affect the quality of cut. Also make sure your mat is in good condition, this is vital for cutting intricate cuts such as floral paper cuts.

Additionally, make sure you set the material and cut pressure correctly to match whatever Cricut materials you’re cutting to get a clean cut. If you have any problems cutting check the mat, pressure and material settings as generally this is where the problem will lie.

Assembling Your Number

Start by laying out all 5 layers, to get an idea of how it attaches together. I have suggested and order all the numbers are numbered.

Start by placing the back layer face up, and sticking foam pads to the back of layer 2. Now flip the layer over and position onto the back layer, making sure its lines up.

Keep going layer by layer until you’ve finished. Then add the butterfly layers, glueing by the body section only so that you can slightly bend the wings upwards.

Now flip the number and use a hot glue gun to glue a straw to the back of the cake topper. To make this stronger you can pop and wooden dowel inside the straw.
