Free SVG Ballet Alphabet And Numbers For Cricut And Glowforge

Sharing is caring!

This free SVG Ballet Alphabet And Number set designed with Cricut, Silhouette and Glowforge in mind is my prettiest yet. I am thinking I also need a floral version of this, the letters are all so delicate? Ok, I already have a floral alphabet but you can never have too many floral options can you?

But this adorable alphabet is dedicated to all of those children who love ballet, tutus and all things ballet.

Of course you don’t have to be a dancer to love this alphabet, I have never had the grace needed for ballet. However, I adore watching The Ballet. There is something enchanting about magical stories being told through dance, its just captivating. So for all you budding Ballerinas, or patrons of the arts this one is for you.

To Make Your Cake Topper With My Ballet Alphabet And Numbers With Cricut

Start by uploading your SVG file to Cricut Design Space and size your file to the correct size. To size in Cricut Design Space simply use your mat as a guide, click on the arrow in the corner and drag the file to make it bigger or smaller.

When you are happy duplicate the file you can add words or a name, to fit to your letter or numbers use the curve tool on the top bar. The curve tool will help you fit the words perfectly, now select all and click weld to weld the images together.

To create multiple layers start by duplicating the top layer, now click the contour and remove a few of the contours. I usually remove a few at a time, but this depends on how many layers I want to create.

Once finished, I will duplicate the layer I have removed the contours on and remove more contours. I did this 3 times to give me 4 layers all with different contours to create a multi layered file. Note, you must always duplicate and contour the layer you have contoured.

So contour layer 1 and duplicate, that becomes layer 2 duplicate and contour, 2 becomes 3, 3 becomes 4. This way your contours make sense.

Before you cut your layers line them al up in design space to ensure they are exactly the same size, as you have been duplicating they should be. Now send to cut making note of what colour or material you want each layer to be, I wanted a mixture of textures all in pink tones.

Cutting Your Ballerina Cake Topper

When you send the project to your Cricut to cut ensure you use your brayer to roll the paper, vinyl or card to the matt. 

Also make sure you set your material and cut pressure correctly to match whatever material you’re cutting. 

Once the cut has finished, discard the outer area of the paper, flip the mat and gently weed. Use the weeding tool to remove any areas that need gently weeding and removing. 

Building Your Ballerina Cake Topper

Start by placing the back ballerina cake topper layer face up and stick foam pads to 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 flip it over and glue a straw to the back and allow to dry.

Lastly add any details, I use diamanté to to add a few flourishes and a little waistband with a pencil. you could also use tulle or netting to add a layer to your skirt. I so wanted to do this but didn’t have any handy.

If You Are Cutting On Glowforge?
