Free 3d Layered Guitar Mandala SVG

I adore my latest Free 3d Layered Guitar Mandala SVG download, oddly the song Guitar Man was playing away in my head, which gave me the idea of the Guitar cut file. This has never happened before, but I suppose if music is ever the inspiration for any craft project, of course it has to be an instrument right? But it also leads to the desire to make so many more instruments.

Although this guitar has been designed as a 3d layered mandala, any of the layers can also be used for individual projects such as vinyl for guitar themed t shirts, cups, banners and coasters, yet you also have the option of creating 3d guitar cards, banners and framed artwork.

How To Build Your Guitar Mandala In Cricut Design Space

Once your files are in design space click select and add all of the 5 layers.

Change the colour of each file so they will all cut different colours on separate mats when you send to cut.

Before cutting line up all the files, if any are slightly misshapen unlock the Guitar Mandala SVG by selecting the image and clicking the padlock on the bottom left corner. You can now drag the files to fit.

Cutting Your Guitar Mandala SVG/PNG Cut Files

When you send your Guitar Mandala 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 colours so have the card stock ready to hand and really think about the colours. I chose glitter card for the top layer and foil craft board for the back layer to add depth and feel I achieved that.

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 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 3D Guitar Mandala 

Start by laying out all 5 layers to ensure they line up.

I have suggested and order on the files which makes sense and the layers are numbered accordingly.

Start by placing the back layer face up, and sticking foam pads to the corners of the back of your layer 2.

Now flip the layer over and position onto the back layer, making sure it lines up.

Keep going layer by layer until you’ve finished.

Once finished, to add the dots simple dot any areas you want to add dots to with Neuvo Crystal Drops. Have a practice on paper beforehand and one you have a good flow simply dot the drop without touching the nozzle on the card, keeping even spaces and allow to dry. You can now mount in a box frame, or card.
