Here’s the wheel mandala - this one is just five layers. Learn how to make this mandala in the video above. Our new design is shareable under a Creative Commons 4.0 license as well and can be downloaded freely here. Note that we modified the design to work with layered paper. Here’s the flower mandala - this one is 8 layers! The flower mandala design is from the “Layered Wooden Sculptures” project in Instructables designed by watchmeflyy, which is copyrighted under a Creative Commons 4.0 license. We’ve designed three different FREE 3D layered mandala patterns for you to try, and they’re all very easy! The secret to getting a beautiful look is to apply the spacers to the underside of each layer - that way you won’t see the spacers peeking through once it’s all put together. If you want to get the 3D look, you use spacers in between the layers - you can use foam mounting tape, pre-cut adhesive foam circles or squares, or just bits of cut cardboard, craft foam, or layered cardstock. You decide!Īll you need is basic cardstock and a way to keep them together, like glue or spray adhesive. I’ve made them as big as 11.5″ wide and as small as 4.5″ wide.

You can make the 3D layered mandalas big and detailed, or small and simple.
