Created by ©BeejuiCreations 2018-2022
3D Layered Monkey SVG – Free File & Tutorial. This is a great little layered card stock project to create with an easy to follow photo tutorial below.
Why not try this layered project out on your Cricut. You could add in your own quotes or personalise with a name and frame it in a shadow box. Perfect gift for a new baby/child’s bedroom or this could even be made into a cake topper.

I have created this project because I love all the layered projects all over the internet at the moment that can be made on your Cricut. I’ve only just started designing my own SVG’s so please let me know if there are any issues with these files.

For a flat look, use adhesive spray or glue stick
- Adhesive
- Glue Pen – Hobbycraft Ultrastick glue pen
For the 3D look, use foam pads in between the layers and the above glue pen.
- Adhesive Foam Pads
- 3D Adhesive Foam Pads: Hobbycraft white foam pads
(NOTE: Hide the foam pads under each layer by using small foam pads or cutting them to size so you can’t see them).
Settings:
Cricut settings
- Resize the SVG within Design Space to fit the paper you are using or move the pieces in edit mat to make sure they all fit on the card stock. I resized this project to 13.01cm width by 15cm height to get it to fit all on the project I’m making this for.
- The material setting for all the card layers
- MEDIUM CARDSTOCK (80lb / 216GSM) – DEFAULT PRESSURE
NOTE: All machines are different and there may be better settings but these are the ones that have worked for me.

3D Layered Monkey Tutorial
For the Free 3D Layered Monkey, cut all the layers out on a Cricut Maker. Shop our cutting machine collection at Cricut.com
Once all the layers are cut, arrange them as below:
Monkey Layer 1 Monkey Layer 2 Monkey Layer 3 Monkey Layer 4 Monkey Layer – Face Monkey Layer – Eyes & Nose
First Section
- Apply self-adhesive foam pads to the back of Monkey Layer 2 and apply centrally to Monkey Layer 1. (I found it easier for positioning to align the ears and hair tuft together first).
See the image below for placement:

Second Section
- Apply self-adhesive foam pads to the back of Monkey Layer 3 and apply centrally to Monkey Layer 2 (which is already adhered to Monkey Layer 1).
See the image below for placement:

Third Section
- Apply self-adhesive foam pads to the back of Monkey Layer 4 and apply centrally to Monkey Layer 3 (which is already adhered to Monkey Layers 1 & 2).
See the image below for placement:

Fourth Section
- Using the glue pen, adhere the black pupils to the white eyes. (Monkey Layer – Eyes). (I placed the pupil centrally on the bottom edge of the white eye piece).
- Using the glue pen, adhere the eyes and nose to the Monkey Layer – Face.
See the image below for placement:

Fifth Section
- Apply self-adhesive foam pads to the back of Monkey Layer – Face and apply between the ears on to Monkey Layer 4 (which is already adhered to Monkey Layers 1, 2 & 3).
