A little Christmas music, held in silhouette
A Christmas guitar ornament SVG.
A little festive melody.
Carol Strings is an original Christmas guitar ornament SVG for laser cutting and engraving. The design is a generic guitar silhouette with a broad curved body, solid neck and headstock and an integral top hanging tab. The ZIP download includes one scalable SVG and an English preparation guide. Original size: 100 × 140 mm overall, including the integrated hanging tab, with a 5 mm hanging hole.
A familiar musical shape.
A festive note to keep.
Carol Strings turns the outline of a guitar into a decorative Christmas ornament. Its musical character makes a thoughtful accent for a tree branch, a wrapped gift or a seasonal corner with personal meaning. Engraved details define the face, while the approved material and finish you choose bring your own expression to the piece.
The guitar body, neck, headstock and integrated hanging tab form one connected flat silhouette. Interior musical details are engraved on solid material. The design has no cut sound hole, separate strings, hardware or functional instrument parts.
The images illustrate a possible finished appearance. Physical ornaments, stock, cord and styling props are not included.

Confirm. Assign.
Test your own material.
-
Check the complete design
Extract the ZIP, import the SVG and verify its 100 × 140 mm overall dimensions and 5 mm hanging 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
Inspect the guitar body, neck connection, headstock and hanging tab after import. Keep all interior musical details assigned to engraving, verify the full dimensions and test a sample using approved stock.
This design has not been physically test-cut or test-engraved. No universal thickness, power, speed or pass count is supplied. Results depend on software, material, kerf and machine setup.
Your Christmas project.
The practical details.
What files will I receive?
You receive one original Christmas guitar ornament SVG and an English README. The ZIP contains carol-strings-guitar.svg and README.txt. Extract the files before importing the SVG into supported software.
Is the guitar sound hole an actual cut opening?
No. The sound-hole detail is engraved on the solid face, along with the other interior decoration. The only cut contours are the outside silhouette and the hanging hole. Carol Strings is a flat decorative guitar motif, with no separate strings or working instrument parts.
Is a physical ornament included?
No. You receive a digital SVG and English guide. You provide approved material, cord, equipment and any finish. Display images are illustrative; styling props are not supplied.
Can I resize this Christmas guitar ornament SVG?
Yes. Scale the complete design proportionally. The hole, engraved marks and narrow connections also change size. Check the revised geometry and cord clearance, and make a new material sample.
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 × 140 mm outline, 5 mm hanging 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 or modified digital versions. See the README for usage terms.
