Create a beautiful Sukkos decoration with a stained glass effect using cardstock and your Cricut! In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a Shivas Haminim-inspired design that looks like stained glass but is actually made from layered cardstock. It’s a fun way to add handmade Sukkos decor without needing any special glass materials. I’ll walk you through the full process from cutting the design to assembling the layers, with tips to help everything line up neatly. If you make one, I’d love to hear how yours turns out!

The quick walkthrough
- 1
Prepare the design
Download the design file and bring it into Design Space. Decide whether you will be drawing the inside details of the fig or using vinyl (or both). If drawing, attach that layer to the pink base layer and set the operation type to "Pen".
- 2
Cut all the cardstock
Cut out all of the layers and carefully peel the mat back to remove them without warping.
- 3
Assemble
Starting with the blue layer, apply glue using the needle-tip applicator and adhere it to the pink layer. Continue until all the layers are glued together and then repeat for the other panels.

The fig
The fig has two black pieces that are not attached to the rest of the black layer and have to be glued on separately. Make sure not to throw them out when removing the black layer from the mat! If using vinyl for the inside of the fig, use transfer tape to stick it in place.

The pomegranate
The pomegranate also has two loose pieces - a red one and a black one - so keep an eye out for those!
