Sizes, materials and the fine parts of a fox

Every fox here is 100 mm on its longer side. A fox is a slim animal, so the side views have fine legs: about 4.5 mm wide at the ankle on the fox silhouette, and the rim round each tail tip window is between 2 and 3 mm. Vinyl and card cope with that down to about 60 mm long. In 3 mm plywood keep a standing fox at 100 mm or more, or choose the sitting fox or the fox curled up asleep, which have no thin legs to snap.

The white parts of a fox are what make it a fox: the tip of the brush, the cheeks and the chest. In these files they are windows cut through the shape, so a sheet of white or cream card behind the cut piece finishes the animal in two colours without a second cut. On dark vinyl applied to a pale wall or mug, the surface does the same job.

Which fox for which job

The fox head and the cute fox face are exactly symmetrical and fill a square, which suits shirts, tote bags and round signs. The geometric fox head is a line drawing for foil quills, engraving and pen plotters. The fox tail is long and narrow with room to punch a hole at the root, so it works as a key ring or an earring cut from faux leather.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
