A variety of ornaments, mostly adapted from other people’s free designs.
Back in the beginning of December, my son’s high school jazz band performed Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn’s jazz version of The Nutcracker Suite. In addition to the usual bake sale during intermission, we sold ornaments this year. They were a huge hit, so much so that I don’t have any finished pictures of most of the designs because we sold out. Here’s a shot of a few of them still in my 'forge:
…and the two I do have pictures of:
In the case of the nutcracker, another parent found a source for the nutcracker ornaments for next-to-nothing. I made the little “Roosevelt Jazz” tile and some volunteers hot-glued them on.

Great advice, thanks!
Oooh!
Thank you for sharing, I really like this!!
Great idea with the resin and glitter! Turned out well.
This is great!! Thank you for sharing:slight_smile:
Would you mind sharing your design? We have a (very) belated family Christmas party to go to next weekend. It seems appropriate and would look awesome! We just got our GF Wednesday so any tips on settings and such would be appreciated as well. 
I like these! Definitely want to make something like this for next year! Thanks for sharing.
Aha! Perfect for my mom who lives in AZ … that is unique! Thank you for the idea. Love this thread!

Oh I am soooooooooo tickled you posted this! I actually have 2 Silhouette machines (need to sell my SD machine) … this opens up so many opportunities for me!! I’m getting married in early 2019 and I like a lot of their wedding designs…but now instead of paper/vinyl…I can easily (I hope) take these designs and use them with my Glowforge! Thank you 1,000 times… as I had said in January 2018 I need to start planning the wedding/reception using my Glowforge!!! This will save me so much time!

I didn’t have my GF before Christmas, however, I 3D printed almost all of the Star Wars Snowflakes for the tree at work…we had a Star Wars themed tree and I had fun printing them for that and the garland draping on the front of my cube. It would have been hours and hours faster to do this on a GF and also been able to print in a larger quantity. The fun I will have for next year! TFS

I am a swing dancer and got a set of balboa (type of swing dance) silhouettes from a local venue organizer and made them into ornaments – printed off 3 sets for 18 total (6 designs) to give out to friends for the holiday.

Would you please explain your process for converting from the studio file format to SVG?
Sure!
I save the studio file to my computer. Then I go to the following website to convert the file:
http://ideas-r-us-software.uk/FileConverters/SilhouetteStudioConverter.aspx
You will click on the button “Choose File” and be able to browse your computer to where you have saved the file.
Then click on “Convert Studio to SVG” button. It will immediately convert it, and you will have to click on the link directly below that to download the file. When you do … it opens in your web browser. I then right click and it will be saved as an SVG file. It can then be used directly in the Glowforge screen. (You are allowed 10 conversions per day).
Also, as a note … I can open SVG files in the Silhouette Designer Edition software … BUT … that would only be necessary if you wanted to tinker with it in the software. The regular version doesn’t allow you to work with an SVG file. If I do that though … I still have to save it as a studio file again … and then go to the site to convert to SVG again for the Glowforge.
Hope that helps!
@Livein3D thought you might also have need of this.
