3D Nested Stars
3D Nested Stars
I love the geometric potential for the simple 5 point star. In these two designs I have created a 3d version that combines five of each star. One design has the plain simple border star and the second design includes a star border cut into it. Both have a suspended, spinning smaller star in the center. These can easily be cut from 12 x 12 card stock and because the technique doubles all sides, it is durable enough to be a centerpiece for a 4th of July picnic. Or they can be hung in groupings for an impressive mobile. The field can easily be re-sized to create a variety of stars.
The download includes both cutting files in svg, pdf, and dxf formats plus a pdf tutorial. The tutorial is also available online here. http://www.3dcuts.com/tutorial-nested3d-stars
These cutting files require Designer Edition of Silhouette Design Studio or Cricut Explore with Design Space.
