Summary

Be inspired by holiday-themed images from the state library collection or select free-to-use vectors to create your own unique ornaments. Learn about the creative process by using Inkscape to create vectors and prepare the design to be cut on the laser cutter. You will get to design your own two ornaments (minimum) for cutting on the laser cutter by your workshop facilitator. If you're not too confident in your computer design skills, there are many designs to choose from below to make up your personalized paper holiday designs.
