Retro starburst SVG
A mid-century starburst: four long needles, four medium and eight short, all meeting at a small centre. The needles end in fine tips, so cut it large, and in vinyl or card rather than wood.

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 × 1 in (25 × 25 mm) | Over 1.5 mm | 177 mm | 100 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm) | Over 3 mm | 353 mm | 25 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 3 × 3 in (76 × 76 mm) | Over 4.6 mm | 530 mm | 9 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 4 × 4 in (102 × 102 mm) | Over 6.1 mm | 706 mm | 4 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 6 × 6 in (152 × 152 mm) | Over 9.1 mm | 1,059 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 8 × 8 in (203 × 203 mm) | Over 12 mm | 1,412 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 12 in (305 × 305 mm) | Over 18 mm | 2,118 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.
