What’s Inside
- Shooting Star · Window Roundel — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Shooting Star · Window Roundel. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A star with a tapering tail; cut the tail last so the star stays supported while you work. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
Three Ways to Use It
1. Cut it with a Cricut or Silhouette
The file is closed-path vector art with no overlapping lines, exactly what cutting software expects. Scale to your cardstock and cut from 80 gsm upward; a fine-point blade handles it cleanly.
2. Cut it by hand
Print at 100%, staple the sheet to a folded square of paper, and cut through both layers. Most people finish in well under half an hour.
3. Trace and colour
The line-art sheet doubles as a colouring and tracing page, a ready-made activity for classroom or family craft time.
Materials
Red cardstock or origami paper (80–160 gsm) · scissors or a craft knife · a printer · double-sided tape. Add a Cricut or Silhouette if you would rather not cut by hand.
Best For
Wish-themed windows, birthday decor, nursery ceilings and New Year displays.
FAQ
How long should the tail be? About twice the star’s width – shorter looks stubby, longer tears. Framed in a classic round window, this version hangs on the glass like a little paper moon.
Can several make a shower? Yes – cut three at angles and they read as a meteor shower.
What paper? 120 gsm holds the long tail without drooping.
