A shy baby deer peering over an oval ledge, with two big pointed ears sticking out to the sides, wide oval eyes looking up and a long muzzle with two small nostrils.

How to make it
- 01Import the fawn at 90 mm wide; it is wider than tall, so check that the ears fit inside your sheet margin.
- 02Engrave on a test piece and confirm that the eyes and the two small nostrils stay as clean bare-wood shapes.
- 03Engrave the head, hat and ledge, then cut the outline, taking care when lifting the piece by its ears.
- 04Paint soft nursery colours or leave natural, and hang it from the top of the Santa hat.
A woodland baby in a Santa hat
The fawn is all ears and eyes. Two large pointed ears spread wide on either side of the head, the eyes are big light ovals gazing upward, and a long muzzle with two tiny nostrils rests on a dark oval ledge. The Santa hat perches between the ears with a ragged fur brim, and its tail swings left into a pompom. It is wider than it is tall, so it sits nicely on a branch without twisting.
Ears out to the sides
Because the ears point sideways, they are the parts most likely to get knocked. They are broad at the base and have a full wooden margin around them, so they are solid in 3 mm plywood, but pack finished pieces flat with the ears protected. The nostrils are small bare-wood shapes, so check that they stay open after engraving. This is the heaviest of the santa-hat animals: a 10 W diode needs an estimated 5 min 24 s for one fawn in 3 mm plywood, and a 40 W CO2 about 1 min 54 s.
Soft colours for a nursery
For a nursery, paint the head a warm tan, add a few white dots on the forehead for fawn spots, and use a muted red or sage on the hat. Natural engraving with no paint looks calm and woodland-like on its own.
Who it is for
- Woodland nursery themes, as a baby's first Christmas ornament.
- Deer lovers and families who live near the woods.
- Baby shower gifts in winter, with the baby's name on the back.
- Sets with the peeking bunny for a matching pair.
Questions about this file
Are the sideways ears fragile?
They are wide at the base and framed by a wooden margin, so they are sturdy in 3 mm plywood. Just pack the ornaments flat when shipping.
Is it suitable for a baby's first Christmas?
Yes. Engrave the name and year on the back, and the woodland style fits most nursery themes.
How do I add fawn spots?
Dot white acrylic paint on the engraved forehead and the top of the head with a toothpick after engraving.
Why is this one slower than the kitty ornament?
Most of the fawn's head, ears and hat is solid fill, while the kitty face is mostly bare wood with fine lines.
How many fawns fit on a 600 × 400 mm sheet?
Twenty-four with simple spacing, or twelve on a 300 × 400 mm sheet.
