Layered mandalas are one of my favorite things to design, and they’re perfect for all skill levels. With just a few layers, you can create amazing dimension and detail. This Liberty Bell Mandala SVG cut file has only three layers, making it a great beginner project or a quick craft when you want to add something special to your holiday decorations.

You can display your finished Liberty Bell in a shadow box, frame it for wall art, or even use it as the front of a card. It also makes a thoughtful handmade gift for anyone who loves patriotic decor.

Supplies Needed

• My Layered Liberty Bell Mandala SVG – Design #11 (available in my free library)
• Cricut cutting machine
• Cardstock in shades of brown, gold, and cream
• Woodgrain embossing folder (optional, but highly recommended for extra texture)
• Cricut Cuttlebug or any embossing machine (optional)
• Barley Arts Glue
• Foam Dots
• StandardGrip Cricut Mat
• Fine-point blade

Cutting the Liberty Bell Mandala

1. Upload the SVG
   Open Cricut Design Space and upload my Liberty Bell Mandala SVG file. The design is already sized, but you can adjust it if you want a larger or smaller finished piece.
2. Select Your Colors
   For my project, I used gold card stock for the top layer, medium brown for the middle layer, and cream for the bottom layer. You can customize the colors to match your decor or holiday theme.
3. Cut the Layers
   Load your cardstock onto your StandardGrip mat and let your Cricut do the cutting. Be sure to carefully remove the delicate pieces from the mat to avoid tearing.

For a more realistic look, I ran the top gold layer through my Cricut Cuttlebug using a woodgrain embossing folder. This extra detail gives the Liberty Bell a metal-like texture and adds beautiful dimension when the layers are stacked.

If you don’t have an embossing machine, you can still complete the project — the layers look beautiful even without embossing!

Assembling the Liberty Bell Mandala

1. Start by layering the cream bottom layer onto your background surface.
2. Next, align and attach the medium brown middle layer.
3. Finally, place the embossed gold top layer.
4. Use foam dots or adhesive between each layer if you want to create extra dimension and give your Liberty Bell a true 3D effect.

Once assembled, your Layered Liberty Bell Mandala is ready to display! You can:

• Place it inside a shadow box.
• Use it as a card front for a patriotic greeting card.
• Frame it and hang it with your other 4th of July or patriotic decorations.
• Give it as a handmade gift.

I hope you enjoy making this simple and beautiful Liberty Bell Mandala with your Cricut! Be sure to share your finished project — I love seeing how everyone personalizes my designs.

Happy crafting,
