Nautical star SVG
The sailor’s star: each point is split down its length, one half solid and one half open, so the star seems to stand up in relief. A small hub ties the centre together.

Will it cut at your size?
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 × 0.95 in (25 × 24 mm) | 0.43 mm | 203 mm | 100 | Too fine for most machines |
| 2 × 1.9 in (51 × 48 mm) | 0.86 mm | 405 mm | 25 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 3 × 2.85 in (76 × 72 mm) | 1.3 mm | 608 mm | 9 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 3.8 in (102 × 97 mm) | 1.7 mm | 811 mm | 6 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 5.71 in (152 × 145 mm) | 2.6 mm | 1,216 mm | 2 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 8 × 7.61 in (203 × 193 mm) | 3.5 mm | 1,622 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 11.41 in (305 × 290 mm) | 5.2 mm | 2,432 mm | 1 | 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.
