How to make engraved art ornaments

The tool places your picture inside an ornament outline or cuts around it, adds a hanging loop at the top and writes one SVG with the engraving and the cut.

What You'll Need

A monochrome SVG from the Art Library, your own SVG, or a JPG, PNG or WebP photo.
3 mm birch plywood or MDF, or a 3D printer and two filament colours.
Ribbon or twine for hanging.

1. Open the artwork

Upload a file, choose Browse the Art Library to pick a piece without leaving the tool, or open a monochrome piece in the Art Library and choose Make it into, then Ornament.

2. Pick the outline

Cut to shape puts the artwork inside a ball, bauble, drop, oval, ribbed ball, star, bell or tulip, with an engraved frame you can turn off. Follow transparency cuts around the artwork with an even border.

3. Download

For a laser, download the SVG: the engraving is blue and the cut is red. For a 3D printer, switch Make it on to 3D printer and download the 3MF or STL.

Choose Your Build Method

Engrave and cut

Engrave the blue layers first, in image or dither mode if the engraving is a photo.
Cut the red outline and the hanging hole last.
Wipe the soot off with a damp cloth and oil the face.
