Christmas Ornaments?

[NEATman]

Just wanted to start a thread to see if anyone has made thier own christmas ornaments or holiday decorations. If you have, feel free to post pictures of them here, it might inspire me.

My wife suggested that I machine out a star for the top of our tree this year, and possibly some ornaments as well. I'm just surfing to find some different shaped stars and art for this project.

These 2 ornaments should get you in the wife's good books.
Your CAD program will open them.
Please post photos of your results.

Someone on here had a snowflake last year....cut from a CD.

Weldtutor-
Thanks! I'll try out the angel, it looks great. The "requirements" for the star have changed, she's interested in something more abstract and "art-sy". I'm working on tracing a few pictures I've found online using solidworks, and generating a dxf for import into Mach2 for my mill.

ViperTX -
I'll try a search for snowflake, and see what I can find here on cnczone.

This a is slightly more "artsy" star I drew.

It is a star within a star.

The slots between the center lines are removed, & the inner star is given a partial turn to create the desired effect.

Cut N Carve this bird.

Adjust interlocking slots on top of body & bottom of tail, to suit the material thickness you use.

Have fun & post your pics.
