Learn how to create gorgeous and personalized mandala letter wall art with Cricut Foil Transfers!
I adore foil — I just love how to shines and catches the light. So when the new Cricut Foil Transfer kit and sheet came out, I knew I had to design something just to take advantage of everything that’s magical about foil. And these mandala letters are PERFECT for foil transfer. I foiled and framed a magnificent letter “M,” but you could also use these mandala letters to make cards!

- Cricut Foil Transfer Kit (comes with housing, three different size tips, and 12 3″ x 5″ transfer sheets)

- 12″ x 12″ frame (optional, but nice)
- A cutting mat for your Cricut (green or blue works, just make sure it’s sticky!)

Hi, I have downloaded the foil letter design but it does not show the frame around the letter like the one you show on the website. will the frame print or is this design just the letter?
Hi Lakita! You should see a thin-lined box around your letter. If you do not, reach out to my team at [email protected] with photos of what you do see and they will be more than happy to help you further!
I’ve downloaded the svg and it looks beautiful, I’m using the Maker and just have 1 issue – the image looks great on the prepare page and the make it page, but when it actually “makes” it the image is shifted to the right and it does not foil the right line. What can I do to get it to center so I get the entire box outline and the letter “L” centered?
Hi Mina! Try signing out of Design Space and go back in to see if that helps! Feel free to email my team for further support, providing them with screenshots of the issue. You can reach them at [email protected]
