Any machine that is SVG compatible will work! After you cut all the 3D rainbow mandala pieces, it’s time for assembly.

Use the glue to add the delicate piece to each corresponding background piece.

Add the foam tabs on the back of each color layer and the clouds. The foam tabs will act as spacers and create a lovely 3D effect.

Layer each of the rainbow colors in sequential order, starting with the solid rainbow base layer. To line everything up, use the clouds as your guide.
