Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

Size, width × height	Narrowest part	Cut length	Fit on a 12 in sheet	Rule of thumb
1 × 0.45 in (25 × 11 mm)	Over 1.5 mm	95 mm	180	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
2 × 0.89 in (51 × 23 mm)	Over 3 mm	190 mm	55	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
3 × 1.34 in (76 × 34 mm)	Over 4.6 mm	285 mm	21	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
4 × 1.78 in (102 × 45 mm)	Over 6.1 mm	380 mm	12	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
6 × 2.68 in (152 × 68 mm)	Over 9.1 mm	570 mm	4	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
8 × 3.57 in (203 × 91 mm)	Over 12 mm	760 mm	3	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic

The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
