Mandala Art Paper Size
Giulia Satmary
Have you wanted to make mandala with your Cricut, but have been too scared because it seemed complicated and intimidating? These Thanksgiving mandalas were my first mandalas, and come to find out, they are not hard at all! I am hooked! I love the 3D effect with the multi-colored layers. In this post, I will walk you through how to create a mandala using your Cricut cutting machine. You'll get step-by-step instructions to make the process of a mandala easier.
The candy corn and turkey mandala SVG's were found on Pinterest, and I uploaded them to Design Space. I am not ambitious enough to try to create one of my own, at least not yet. Here they are in my uploads.
I started a new project in Design Space and brought the designs onto my canvas. I simply browsed for them in my Uploads and dropped them in. Here is the candy corn design after I added it. I started with that one since it was simpler.
The next step was to size it to the dimensions I wanted. I would put these in 9" x 9" shadow boxes, so I sized them accordingly, keeping the dimensions locked so the design layers would remain proportional. I also allowed extra space to add scrapbook paper around the edges.
I recommend getting all your cardstock colors together first, making any color changes desired for your project. I tried to keep the colors as close to the original design as possible. However, I sometimes used the same color for more than one layer.
I chose the material setting, opting for medium or heavy cardstock depending on what type I was using. I always select a cardstock option that is "thicker" than what I am using. For light cardstock, I choose medium, etc.
Then I applied each color to a Light Grip cutting mat, one at a time, and began cutting them with my Cricut Maker 3. Some of the designs were rather intricate, so I was careful pulling them off the mat.
It still did not work, so I then chose Cardstock for Intricate Cuts as my material and used a textured cardstock instead. This time, it worked better. Sometimes you have to troubleshoot to overcome obstacles, but don't give up.
Fortunately, these mandala designs came with directions on how to put them together. I would have been lost without those. However, I have figured out that each layer usually has increasingly more intricate cuts as you add them.
I wanted to put each of these in a white shadow box but found it would be too expensive to buy 3 of them. I decided to make my own frames, using a faux frame template I created for a different project - Faux Wood and Metal Sign with Cricut Includes Free Template. This frame obviously does not have a glass front, but I did not want one this time.
Here are my completed frames with the mandalas inside and some cute scrapbook paper behind as accents. I even got the pumpkin mandala done! I can't wait to display them and impress my family when they come over for Thanksgiving.
Ceramic transfer with detailed drawings of mandalas, leaves and flowers on rice paper, size 33x49 cm. The ceramic transfers offered in our store can be applied to both unfired clay and bisque, and the final firing temperature should be adjusted to the clay body and the glaze used.

1. First of all you will need blank white paper (or any colour of your choice), also my paper size is 22x22cm (however I will only be using a small section of this paper) so you know as a guide, a black fine liner pen, a thick liner pen, a pencil, a compass, rubber, long ruler a and a short ruler.
6. We can now start the pattern. I have started the pattern simply just by drawing straight lines within the second circle/row draw. The best way to make it look neat and symmetrical is by using less lines and sticking to 3/4 lines per little section. as shown in the picture below.
9. Going to the row above the first semi-circle, draw half a triangle that will join up by the semi-circles. When drawing the triangle use up around 3 rows. ( Half triangle is just two lines that comes to a point like: /\).
It can be hard to find a simple graph or grid paper when you need it in the classroom or if you are working at home. So I have made up a variety of common-sized free printable graph paper for you to download and use.
Graph and grid paper, often overlooked as simple stationery items, emerge as powerful tools for fostering creativity, enhancing analytical skills, and promoting visual learning in the classroom. By incorporating these 25 creative uses, educators can unlock the full potential of graph and grid paper, making learning more engaging and meaningful for students across various subjects.
I also love how you can put them together differently by either adding foam spacers or sticky dots and you can simply place each layer on top of each other and use some spray adhesive or craft glue. Plus, you can layer a couple of the layers and layer the more intricate layers with the spray adhesive.
Another advantage to making these easy Easter Egg Mandalas is you get to choose to make them the size you want. I just love to place my Easter Mandala on my fireplace mantel. I have another area I keep for seasonal decor which means I can always make more than 1. Win-Win!
There are many ways to display your beautiful Easter Mandalas, here are just a few ideas for you. If you have any more ideas, please leave a comment to share with others. I love how creative minds love to share!
One more tip I share is to use parchment paper temporarily between parts of your layers when using spray adhesive. This helps you line up your project perfectly for each layer! Simply place your parchment paper about 2- 4 inches from the top of your layer and make sure it covers the rest of your design, past the bottom a bit.
Use your spray adhesive on the underside of the next layer and gently line it up and place it. Once you are sure it lines up perfectly, you can pull the parchment paper out and gently place the remaining paper layer down.
Please always feel free to ask any questions or even leave a helpful tip I may have forgotten or did not think to include in this post! You can leave a comment or question below or on my YouTube channel.
