Dolphin Mandala
Create This Easy DIY Layered Dolphin Mandala

I love dolphins and created this Dolphin Mandala SVG. My Dolphin Mandala SVG is a fun design to create. It can be displayed in a shadow box frame.
The layered dolphin will make a great addition to your beach decor. You can even add this layered dolphin to the front of a card for someone’s birthday.
Mandalas are very popular and this is a great beginner project.

Materials Needed
HelP
- If you are not sure how to upload an SVG cut file to Cricut Design Space, please read this post How to Upload an SVG in Design Space
Then Unzip the SVG cut file and upload each layer into design space. Before cutting out make sure that the size is correct.
I used a brayer when placing the Cardstock on the mat. This helps in making sure that the paper is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the paper from ripping or moving when it is being cut.
