A knot is a cord with no beginning and no end – the most intricate-looking symbol here, and simpler to cut than it appears. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.

What’s Inside
- Chinese Knot · Ornate — a single, bold motif
One ready-to-cut design: Chinese Knot · Ornate. The pack includes the cut-ready file plus a line-art sheet for tracing and colouring. Interlaced loops form a symmetrical panel; the loops are drawn as one continuous path rather than separate pieces, so nothing falls out. Cut the outer loops first and work inward, and the structure stays rigid throughout. This ornate edition adds scrollwork and a heavier border, so it reads as a formal panel rather than a quick craft.
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
Doorways, New Year displays, gift toppers and as a centrepiece motif.
