A comet is a shooting star with personality – a head and a sweeping tail that looks drawn across the glass.

What’s Inside
- Comet · Plain Cut — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Comet · Plain Cut. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. A round head with a tail that fans out; the fan is cut as one piece so it stays flat against the window.
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
Space-themed rooms, astronomy units, festival backdrops and bold statement windows.
FAQ
Is the tail hard? It is one long curve – cut it in a single pass rather than nibbling.
Does it point a direction? Cut it with the head upper-left so it reads as falling across the window.
What colour reads best? White or silver on dark paper, or red on a pale window.
