VisualizationFunny Christmas Ornament SVG, Naughty List Little Devil in Santa Hat Laser File, Gag Gift Tree Decoration DXF
A cheeky cartoon devil head wearing a Santa hat: sleepy half-closed eyes, a wide grin of square teeth, a pointed ear on the right and a small horn poking through the top of the hat. The hat brim, pompom and face details stay light against dark fill engraving, and the head sits on a flat oval base. The ornament is a compact 90 × 75.4 mm (3.54 × 2.97 in); thread it through the 4 mm hole above the hat.

How to make it
- 01Import the devil at 90 mm wide and set up a test square to check how sharp the small eye and teeth shapes stay.
- 02Engrave the head, hat and oval base with a fill pass that leaves the brim, pompom, eyes and teeth as clean bare wood.
- 03Cut the outline; the fuzzy pompom edge is the most detailed part, so do not rush it.
- 04Paint the head and hat red if you want the joke to read from a distance, then hang it by the hole above the hat.
For the one on the naughty list
Every family has one. This little devil has a round head, droopy unimpressed eyes and a grin full of square teeth, as if it has just been caught doing something. A small horn pokes through the top of a floppy Santa hat, a pointed ear sticks out on the right, and the hat tail swings left into a fluffy pompom. The head rests on a flat dark oval, which gives the shape a solid bottom.
Getting the face to read
The face only works if the light details stay crisp: the eye rings, the pupils and the row of teeth are small bare-wood shapes surrounded by fill. Too much power and the edges of those shapes burn in, which makes the eyes look smudged. Run a test and check the teeth with a magnifier before batching. Each devil is estimated at 5 min 3 s if you run a 10 W diode, or 1 min 47 s if you run a 40 W CO2, in 3 mm plywood. The fuzzy edge of the pompom is the only complicated bit of the outline.
Paint it red
Red paint on the head and hat with the brim and teeth left natural makes the joke land straight away. A white paint pen on the eyes and teeth adds contrast on darker woods. A 300 × 400 mm sheet takes fifteen of them, so a batch is cheap.

Questions about this file
Is the little devil too scary for kids?
Not at all. It has sleepy eyes and a goofy grin, so it reads as cheeky rather than scary, more naughty-list joke than horror.
Can I add a name to the oval base?
The base is engraved dark, so text would not show there. Switch off the fill on the oval in your software and engrave the name inside its outline instead.
Why do the eyes and teeth look blurry?
Too much engraving power spreads into the small bare-wood shapes. Lower the power slightly or use a finer line interval for this file.
What paint colours work best?
Red for the head and hat, with the fur brim, pompom and teeth left natural or painted white, makes the character clear.
Is it a good secret Santa gift?
It is one of the best in the collection for that: small, cheap to cut, and funny without being rude.
