How To Layer Vinyl Using Free Sunflower SVG File
This month’s free SVG file is a sunflower SVG that you won’t want to miss! I am also kicking off our Cricut Summer of Flowers event, where we will be posting flower crafts with our Cricut machines all week.
Supplies Needed To Make Sunflower SVG Mug
- Vinyl in various colors (I used orange, yellow, and a patterned version for the center)
- Cricut machine (click here to see which is my favorite)
- Transfer tape
- Coffee mug
- Weeding tools (optional)
- Scraper
- Sunflower SVG file above

How To Layer Vinyl Video Tutorial
Basically, the method involves adding small squares to each layer in Cricut Design Space before cutting. This allows you to see where to line up the layers. You can then stack and line them up on your transfer tape, remove the squares, and apply them onto your surface. Simple yet effective!
The easiest way to explain this method is through a video, so I’ve created a short one that you can watch below.
If you have ever wanted to learn how to layer vinyl, I would definitely give this method a try (especially if you have a complicated design). This free sunflower SVG is fairly simple and may not require the squares, but some designs can be challenging to line up.

If you find layering vinyl difficult, try this method on your next project. I think you will find it a lot easier!

Additionally, if you prefer not to make a mug, you can easily apply this technique to other craft projects as well.

Now that you know how to layer vinyl, what are you waiting for? Get started on some craft projects of your own today!
FAQs About How To Layer Vinyl Using Free Sunflower SVG
Here are a couple of questions that I frequently see readers ask about layering vinyl. If you’ve a question, please check if I’ve already answered it below. Don’t see your question? Leave it for me in the comments!
How Do You Determine The Size Of The Squares?
It doesn’t matter at all as long as they are all the same.
Is There A Slower Version Where You Show What You Clicked On To Get To Those Areas?
Currently, I don’t have a slower version available. However, you can check out my other video called Layering Vinyl Tips and Tricks with a Cricut, where I also share how to layer vinyl!
Can I Do This On My iPhone?
You should be able to!
What Cricut Machine Can I Use For This Project?
All of them! The Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore series, Cricut Joy, Cricut Joy Xtra, and Cricut Venture can all cut vinyl!
The only thing to keep in mind is that each Cricut machine differs in terms of project size capabilities and the materials it can cut. So, depending on what project you have in mind, you might need to resize the design or cut it out in a different material.
Can You Layer Iron-on This Way?
It is a little different! To see some examples, check out our How to Use Cricut Iron On Vinyl video.
You Mentioned That This SVG Is Part Of Your Free Monthly SVG Files. What is That?
Every month, I have free SVG files for you to download and use on your Cricut or Silhouette. I share a wide range of SVG files that cover various topics, including holidays, seasons, decorative styles (such as farmhouse), monograms, animals, and more! To get caught up on our past free SVG files and to sign up for future files, check out our Free SVG Files for You Monthly blog post!

Not any of your sale adds will open up. Your things are beautiful and your food looks so appetizing so much wonderful information. Thank You so much.
Sorry. I am not sure what you are trying to open?
I love your SVG files but I am subscribed to your newsletter (twice) but the emails I get are for a free SVG if I subscribe. Do I have to subscribe for every SVG you offer?
You do have to add your email to get one every time. It is the only way I have to deliver them to you since they are larger files. You are only being added to the same email list so you should never get multiple emails.
