A woodland visitor for the festive season
A reindeer ornament SVG.
A quiet winter presence.
Northbound is an original reindeer ornament SVG for laser cutting and engraving. The design is a reindeer-head silhouette with broad rounded antlers, ears, tapered neck and integral top hanging tab. The ZIP download includes one scalable SVG and an English preparation guide. Original size: 100 × 120 mm overall, including the integrated hanging tab, with a 5 mm hanging hole.
Antlers above.
Character in the details.
Northbound brings the reindeer into a spare, graphic Christmas composition. Its antlered profile gives the ornament a distinctive presence on a tree, a winter branch or a handmade gift. Keep the finish natural for a quiet woodland mood, or choose your own contrasting surface treatment after testing the material.
The head, antlers and hanging tab form one continuous flat silhouette. The face and decorative details are engraved on solid material. There are no separate antler pieces or small facial inserts to attach.
The images illustrate a possible finished appearance. A physical ornament, sheet stock, hanging cord and styling props are not included in the download.

Confirm. Assign.
Test your own material.
-
Check the complete design
Extract the ZIP, import the SVG and verify its 100 × 120 mm overall dimensions and 5 mm hole before placing the artwork.
-
Separate the operations
Assign black filled artwork to engraving and the two red outlines to cutting. Engrave first, then cut the hanging hole before the outside silhouette.
-
Make a material sample
Review the antler tips, their connections to the head and the hanging tab at the intended scale. Support the piece while removing it from the sheet and follow the material guidance in the README.
This design has not been physically test-cut or test-engraved. No universal material thickness, power, speed or pass count is supplied. Software, controller, material, kerf and machine setup affect the finished result.
Your Christmas project.
The practical details.
What files will I receive?
You receive one original reindeer ornament SVG with separate CUT and ENGRAVE groups and one English README. The ZIP contains northbound-reindeer.svg and README.txt. Extract the files before importing the SVG into supported software.
Do I assemble the antlers separately?
No. The antlers belong to the same connected outline as the head and hanging tab. This is a single-piece decorative pattern. Preserve the specified size until you have checked the antler connections and made a material sample.
Is a physical ornament included?
No. This is a digital SVG and English guide download. You provide the material, hanging cord, cutting or engraving equipment and any finish. The display images are illustrative, and the styling props are not supplied.
Can I resize this reindeer ornament SVG?
Yes. Scale the complete design proportionally. The hanging hole, engraved marks and narrow connections also change size. Review the revised geometry, check cord clearance and make a new sample rather than assuming the original settings still apply.
How do I prepare the file for Glowforge, xTool or Epilog?
Glowforge: Upload the SVG in the Glowforge App. Check the dimensions and assign black filled artwork to Engrave and the red outlines to Cut. Review the job preview before processing.
xTool Studio/XCS: Import the SVG into software supported by your model. Studio’s SVG import DPI setting can affect scale. Verify the 100 × 120 mm outline and 5 mm hole, then assign engraving and cutting operations.
Epilog: Open the SVG in suitable vector software and use the driver or Dashboard workflow supported by your model. In Illustrator, retain centered 0.025 mm vector strokes. For CorelDRAW, follow your exact model’s hairline guidance. Review engraving and vector-cut separation in the job preview.
Other CO₂/diode systems: Where the controller is supported by LightBurn, import the SVG, assign red contours to Line/Cut and black shapes to Fill/Engrave, and check Preview. A laser source type alone does not establish software, controller or material compatibility.
Which materials should I choose?
Use laser-approved stock suited to your exact equipment and wavelength. Acrylic suitability depends on its colour, composition and laser source; clear acrylic and some colours are unsuitable for many diode workflows. Consult Glowforge material guidance or your manufacturer’s own material list. Never process PVC, vinyl, unknown coatings or prohibited stock. Follow ventilation and supervision instructions and test your chosen material.
Can I sell physical ornaments I make?
Yes. Personal projects and sales of finished physical items you make are permitted. Do not resell, share or redistribute the digital files, including modified digital versions. Full usage terms are included in the README.
