Free St Patricks Day SVG Alphabet And Numbers For Cricut And Glowforge

Share

My St Patricks Day Alphabet was really popular last year, the one I have created this year is similar but doesn’t have beer in it! I figured it wasn’t very school or child friendly, so with the help of the lovely Donna from Like Love Do we have collaborated and designed a new child friendly St Patricks Day Alphabet SVG Letters and Number Set. Scroll down for a link to her blog if you want to grab the elements to go with the alphabet.

This set is perfect for creating St Patricks Day cards, diy decorations, using with vinyl for cushions and t shirts. However if you want to craft along with the little ones check out my printable ABC St Patricks Day Alphabet. This mirrors my SVG alphabet so you can craft but also keep the kiddies involved in a matching project.

If you want to see me create my projects, follow me on Tik Tok and Instagram.

In this post I have created paper cut letters, a cake topper with my Cricut and also an engraved jigsaw puzzle with my Glowforge. Just scroll down for the free step by step tutorials.

How To Make A St Patricks Day Jigsaw With Glowforge

Start by uploading a word of your choice to the Glowforge design area, you will also need an outline shape. I used an oblong, but it could be any shape.

Once upload click in the top left corner and change the oblong to cut. Now size your letters to fit inside the oblong this will be your puzzle outline.

Once you are happy with sizing you need to create an outline for each letter. The aim is to cut an outline for your St Patricks Day letters and engrave the detail on top. To do this click on the mountain in the right hand tab of the design area, click create outline then adjust outline to 0.075 and replicate this for each letter.

Create outlines for the letters with the outline tool

When you are happy position the oblong over the top so it fits around, this will now cut the puzzle outline, shapes outline and engrave the detail of the letters.

However you will also need a back to your jigsaw, for this click on the oblong and duplicate it, this needs to be cut separately as a solid piece.

Send your project to print, it will take around 30 minutes. Although cutting is quick engraving takes a little longer.

position your engraved letters within the outline within the rectangle

Spray Paint The Jigsaw Front And Letters

Now wearing gloves and a mask, spray paint you front puzzle outline and letters. I used a combination of green and cream to create a textured effect and used more cream on the letters so they were lighter.

Spray paint the glowfoge jigsaw surround

Once the paint had dried I also added a layer of glitter spray top coat for a sparkly finish. Now give the layers time too dry.

Spray paint the letters, i used more cream on the letters so they were slighly different the the jigsaw surround

Build Your Jigsaw

Next I added a background to the jigsaw puzzle. I did that in two pieces, if you are doing this, aim to put the join in an area under the frame. Use wood glue to attach the paper to the back solid wooden piece and allow to dry. You don’t have to do this, however I figured it looked prettier and gave the puzzle more detail.

Glue to front and back of your jugsaw together

When the paint is dry use wood glue to glue to top of the puzzle to the back thus creating your St Patricks Day Puzzle frame and allow to dry.

You now now have a cute St Patricks Day puzzle, any words, letters or numbers can be used and indeed any of my alphabets can be used to create any themed personalised puzzle with Glowforge.

How To Make A St Patricks Day Shaker Cake Topper With Cricut

What You Need

Create And Size Your Shaker Cake Topper In Cricut Design Space

To create your St Patricks Day shaker cake topper simply upload a letter or number of your choice to Cricut Design Space, once uploaded you want to create 4 layers.

Your top layer will be cut in glitter card stock, this will be the letter of your choice.

Duplicate the top layer and click contour in the bottom right corner before clicking remove all contours to create the acetate layer.

remove all the contours for your acetate layer

Also you will need another acetate layer to cover you shaker glitter. Decide which area you want to be your shaker, duplicate layer 2 and use a square to slice out the area. If you cut this in acetate this will create a small acetate layer.

slice out the areas you want to make a shaker

Now create an offset on layer 1 and remove all contours, this will be your backing layer.

Create 4 layers of your shaker cake topper

You can now send the layers to be cut. When you click ‘Make It’ to send your project to cut design space will arrange the different colours into mats, it’s important to note which is which, to get your cuts on the correct materials.

Building The St Patricks Day Shaker

To build your St Patricks Day Shaker flip the top layer over and use glue to attach the solid acetate layer to the back.

Now use the sticky foam tape to tape around the shaker area. I chose the hat so had to cut my tape thiner. However also ensure there are no gaps for the glitter to escape before adding the glitter and sticking on the top acetate layer. This will encapsulate the glitter and prevent it from escaping.

Put the glitter in the stick pad area and stick the top film layer on

Now use sticky pads to stick the glitter shaker layer to the backing. Also , at this stage you can add a straw to the back if you want to use your St Patricks Day shaker as a cake topper. You can also add Nuvo Dots to add a little detail. Also check out my Hot Air Balloon Shaker Cake Topper.
