Hello I have no idea what gave me the inspiration to create this Free Monogram Mermaid SVG Alphabet and Number set, which is perfect for Cricut And Glowforge. Sometimes things just pop into my head. Maybe it was booking my next cruise that gave me inspiration? Have I ever mentioned my cruise obsession?
Anyhow, no matter the thought plan or inspiration, I am thrilled the little idea popped into my mind. She was a challenge to draw but I got there and love the result, making it perfect for mermaids loving girls and boys everywhere.
If you want to see me create my projects, follow me on Tik Tok and Instagram.
The thing is with mermaids they can be used for so much, themed parties, t shirts room decor. I have made some gorgeous projects with it already, scroll down to see my cake topper and card. Also check out my Mermaid SVG.

This is the monogram card I made with my Glowforge, by cutting an acrylic letter and spraying the back of the letter peach. These made such stunning, but easy cards.
If you are cutting on Glowforge, make sure you upload the SVG file, you are unable to cut PNG files, ( However can engrave PNG files.) Simple click the + sign in the top bar, choose upload and select your file. Now drag the file to the correct size and click on the image to select cut.
You can now select the correct materials for whatever machine you are using, and send your project to cut or print.

How To Make A Mermaid Cake Topper On Cricut
Start by uploading your Mermaid SVG file to Cricut Design Space in your choice of letter or number.
To size in Cricut Design Space simply use your mat as a guide, click on the arrow in the corner and simple drag the file to make it bigger or smaller.
Now duplicate the first layered and remove some of the contours by clicking on the offset tool on the top bar. The aim is to create 3 layers, you can also add elements like shells, words or seaweed.
- The top layer will be open
- Layer 2 remove the contours of your letter or number to create depth for your file
- Layer 3 is a sold layer, this is the layer you will use for the mermaids skin colour
- I also added seaweed at this point.
Layer 4 is the offset layer. To do this right click and select all, then click offset in the top bar and create an offset to sit your project on.
How To Build Your Mermaid Cake Topper
Start by adding your seaweed to the back offset layer as you want this to sit in the background of your cake topper.
Now attach the 3 mermaid numbers together with the tape roller, making sure you get them in the correct order, I like to line my projects up before I start adding tape of glue. Once they are attached, put sticky pads on the back of the back of layer 3 and attach this to your offset layer.
Now use the glue gun to attach a straw to the back. Finally, decorate your mermaid with clear Nuvodots to finish it off, although this stage is optional.
