Information
Hey folks! Let me share this fun craft tied to China's biggest, coziest holiday—Chinese New Year! Next year is the Year of Horse. These red cutouts (we call them "window grilles") are traditional holiday decor: they're not just bright and pretty, but every detail carries happy wishes:
The horse = "success at once" (a super popular good-luck symbol for the year)
The "Fu" character = "good fortune"
The flowers/birds = joy & prosperity
I made these to bring those cheerful vibes, and they’re so simple to make—you’ll love having this colorful, meaningful piece for your space!
Instruction
1
Step1: Prep the Design File
Preview
Grab the xcs file and open it in xTool Studio. Resize the design to fit your window—just make sure tiny details (like the flower patterns) stay sharp.

Step2: Cut the Red Material
Preview
Grab 0.33mm red craft paper and load it into your xTool P2S. Use these recommended settings: 60% power, 115mm/s speed, 1 pass. In this case, high speed can save time. Hit start to cut out the design.

Step3: Finish & Display
