How To Upload Your Cake Topper Alphabet SVG Files To Design Space
Firstly click upload at the bottom of the left hand bar and click browse to find your chosen Floral Butterfly SVG file folder on your MAC, Phone or PC. Next you will see is the image below, click on the image and press upload in the bottom right corner one by one.
Once you have them all in images you can bulk add them the design space.
Once uploaded to design space, line up all the files, if any are slightly misshapen unlock the Mandala SVG by selecting the image and clicking the padlock on the bottom left corner. You can now drag the file to fit by the arrow on the right hand corner.
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.
