VisualizationSix Point Star Ornament SVG, Slim Snow Star Laser Cut DXF, Minimal Winter Window Star Hanging Decoration
A tall six-pointed star with long, narrow rays, taken from the simple snow symbol used on weather maps. The star is one solid engraved shape inside a light 3 mm wooden rim, and the top and bottom rays are a little longer than the four side rays. Ray to ray it covers 90 × 97.5 mm (3.54 × 3.84 in), and ribbon goes through a 4 mm hole in the top ray.

How to make it
- 01Flatten your 3 mm sheet with pins or weights, especially where the long rays will land, then import the star at 90 mm wide.
- 02Fill-engrave the star body; it is one simple shape, so any line interval that gives an even tone is fine.
- 03Cut the outline and look at the tips of all six rays before you lift the sheet, in case one needs a second pass.
- 04Add gold leaf or paint if you want a classic topper look, and hang it from the top ray so it stays upright.
A star that also says snow
At first glance it is a star. Look again and it is the six-armed snow sign from a weather forecast, which is why it works on a Christmas tree in December and still makes sense on a winter window in February. The rays are long and thin, and the vertical pair is stretched a little, so the shape feels tall and elegant rather than chunky. The whole star is filled dark, and a plain border follows the outline with gently rounded tips.
Keeping six long rays intact
Long, narrow points are the only risk in this file. The 3 mm wooden margin protects them, but a slow cut can scorch the very tips, and a warped sheet can leave one ray hanging by a thread. Pin or weigh down the plywood near the points and check focus at the edges of the bed. In 3 mm plywood a 10 W diode should take about 4 min 28 s per star, and a 40 W CO2 tube around 1 min 37 s. A 300 × 400 mm sheet holds nine.
Finishes that suit it
Gold or silver leaf over the engraved star turns it into a classic tree star. Left plain in pale birch, it looks Nordic and quiet. Mirror acrylic cut without the engraving catches tree lights nicely.
Ways to use and sell it
- Hang a column of five on fishing line in a window as a winter star mobile.
- Glue it to the front of a handmade Christmas card for a flat, mailable topper.
- Offer it in a nursery mobile set with clouds and moons for a winter baby.
- Sell plain mirror-acrylic versions to people who prefer sparkle over wood.
Questions about this file
Are the long rays strong enough?
Yes in 3 mm plywood or acrylic, thanks to the wooden rim around each point. Avoid thin 1.5 mm material unless you scale the star up.
Can I cut it without the engraving?
Of course. Delete or switch off the engrave layer and you get a plain star outline, which is perfect for mirror acrylic or for painting.
Is this a snowflake or a star?
Both: it comes from the six-armed snow symbol, so it reads as a star on a tree and as a snow sign in a winter display.
How do I build a star mobile with it?
Cut five or six, tie them along fishing line about a hand's width apart, and hang the line from a curtain rod or a branch.
How long does one star take on a big CO2?
A 100 W CO2 handles one in roughly 1 min 3 s, fill included; budget about 4 min 28 s if you work with a 10 W diode.
