A little colour. A gentle paper rhythm.
Rainbow paper mobile SVG.
A brighter paper moment.
Rainlight is an original rainbow paper mobile SVG for 3 flat paper pieces: one rainbow arch, one wide cloud and one smaller cloud. Three SVG files supply the cut contours, with an English preparation guide and reference images. Use your own paper and cord, choose the spacing and assemble the display by hand. No fixed overall height is specified.
A rainbow-inspired composition.
Made with flat paper shapes.
Rainlight brings a rainbow-inspired theme to a hanging paper display. Use natural tones, a restrained palette or colours of your own to make the flat cut pieces feel at home in your setting. The design supplies paper shapes for an arrangement made by hand with your own suspension materials.
One broad rainbow arch with two curved slot apertures and three round suspension holes; one wide cloud and one smaller cloud, each with one round hanging hole. The arch and its bands remain one connected paper piece. The clouds are separate flat pendants.
The images illustrate a possible finish and setting. This is a digital download; physical cards or decorations, paper, adhesive, envelopes, tools, suspension supplies and styling props are not included.

| Included files | Three SVG cutting files, one English README and 2 reference PNGs in one ZIP archive |
|---|---|
| Pieces in one set | 3 separate flat pieces: one rainbow arch, one wide cloud and one smaller cloud |
| Actual piece sizes (W × H) | Rainbow arch: 120 × 68 mm; Wide cloud: 70 × 32 mm; Small cloud: 58 × 30 mm; nominal before kerf and handling |
| SVG document pages | 01-rainbow-arch-cut.svg: 132 × 80 mm; 02-wide-cloud-cut.svg: 82 × 44 mm; 03-small-cloud-cut.svg: 70 × 42 mm; 6 mm page margins |
| Cut operations | 10 red (#FF0000) closed cut contours per complete set; centered 0.025 mm strokes, no fill |
| Hanging and suspension holes | Five 3 mm nominal suspension holes per set: three in the rainbow arch and one in each cloud |
| Construction | Flat cut silhouettes; no folded sculpture, interlocking joinery, scoring or engraving |
| File use | Cut each of the three SVGs once to make one arch and two separate clouds. The two clouds are different sizes, rather than duplicate versions of the same piece. |

Prepare the pieces.
Arrange a little colour.
-
Check the files and dimensions
Cut each of the three SVGs once to make one arch and two separate clouds. The two clouds are different sizes, rather than duplicate versions of the same piece. Check each actual piece size after import: Rainbow arch: 120 × 68 mm; Wide cloud: 70 × 32 mm; Small cloud: 58 × 30 mm. The document pages include margins. Preserve the common scale if you want the illustrated proportions.
-
Cut and release each piece
Map all 10 red contours to vector Cut, then preview the job. There are no score or engraving operations. Cut internal openings before releasing outer silhouettes where your software permits. Test the approved stock first and remove waste carefully without pulling narrow sections.
-
Arrange, tie and inspect
Suspend the rainbow arch from its top-centre round hole. Tie separate pieces of your own cord to its lower-left and lower-right round holes, then connect each cord to the top hole of one cloud. The wide cloud is illustrated on the left and the smaller cloud on the right. Choose the cord lengths and check balance and support; no fixed finished display height is supplied. Dry-arrange the complete display before installation. Select cord that passes through the holes without forcing or tearing them, and inspect your own knots, hole margins and display support.
This design has not been physically test-cut, assembled, strength-tested or mounting-tested. Paper, grain direction, kerf, cord tension and display support affect the result. Make a complete prototype and inspect your own suspension arrangement before gifting, selling or installation.
Before the first cut.
Clear making answers.
What is included with this rainbow paper mobile SVG?
The ZIP includes 01-rainbow-arch-cut.svg, 02-wide-cloud-cut.svg, 03-small-cloud-cut.svg, README.txt, cut-map.png, assembled-reference.png. Cut each of the three SVGs once to make one arch and two separate clouds. The two clouds are different sizes, rather than duplicate versions of the same piece. The PNGs explain dimensions and a possible arrangement; they are visual references, not machining files.
How are the paper pieces arranged?
Suspend the rainbow arch from its top-centre round hole. Tie separate pieces of your own cord to its lower-left and lower-right round holes, then connect each cord to the top hole of one cloud. The wide cloud is illustrated on the left and the smaller cloud on the right. Choose the cord lengths and check balance and support; no fixed finished display height is supplied. The layout is an illustrative option, rather than a fitted construction or a guarantee of display strength.
Are cord and mounting materials included?
Five 3 mm nominal suspension holes per set: three in the rainbow arch and one in each cloud. Provide your own suitable thin cord and display support. Check that the cord fits without force and that the paper holds the chosen arrangement. No cord, support bar, mounting hardware or finished display is supplied, and no load rating is specified.
Can I resize or repeat the motifs?
Yes. Keep related pieces at the same proportional scale to preserve the illustrated balance, and recheck every opening, narrow section and cord hole. The supplied sizes are Rainbow arch: 120 × 68 mm; Wide cloud: 70 × 32 mm; Small cloud: 58 × 30 mm. Changing scale also changes hole sizes and paper strength. Make a fresh prototype after resizing or changing the suspension arrangement.
How do I prepare the SVGs for Glowforge, xTool, Epilog or another laser?
Glowforge: Upload the SVG, check the actual cut dimensions and assign red contours to Cut.
xTool Studio/XCS: Import through software supported by your model. SVG import DPI can affect scale; verify dimensions and assign operations manually.
Epilog: Open the vectors in suitable graphics software. Preserve centered 0.025 mm strokes and output through the driver or Dashboard supported by your model.
Other CO₂/diode systems: For compatible controllers, LightBurn imports SVG. Verify vector operations, usable work area and stock approval for your actual machine and wavelength.
Which paper and settings should I use?
Use plain, uncoated paper or cardstock approved for your exact machine, wavelength and paper-holding method. Confirm unknown coatings, dyes and adhesives before processing. A CO₂-compatible stock is not automatically suitable for a diode laser. Follow the machine maker’s extraction and supervision instructions, and test your own stock. No universal weight, thickness, power, speed or pass count is supplied. The design has not been physically test-cut, assembled, strength-tested or mounting-tested.
Can I sell the paper decorations I make?
Yes. Personal use and sales of finished physical decorations you make are permitted. Do not resell, share, give away or redistribute the digital files, modified digital files or digital parts. Read the included guide for the usage terms. Paper pieces and hanging cords are decorative display materials; use your own suitable installation and keep them away from heat sources.
