I designed this laser-cut hanging plywood lamp around a simple idea: using floral patterns to turn flat wooden pieces into a decorative pendant light. The structure consists of 12 pentagon-shaped panels with floral cutouts and 60 interlocking connectors that bring the pieces together. When illuminated, the openings allow light to pass through the patterns, creating interesting shadows around the room. I’ve made the laser cutting files available as free downloads for anyone interested in making their own DIY plywood lamp or exploring decorative laser cut products.
This project is ideal for crafters, makers, interior designers, and hobbyists searching for DIY laser cut lighting ideas, laser cut pendant lights, or decorative laser cut products that blend functionality with ornamental beauty.

Why Choose 3 mm Plywood for Laser Cut Projects?
Plywood is widely preferred in laser cut lighting projects because:
- It’s lightweight and durable, making it ideal for hanging fixtures.
- The natural grain of plywood gives the lamp an attractive wooden finish without necessarily requiring painting or varnishing. MDF, on the other hand, offers a more uniform surface.
- It’s available in various tones and wood textures to suit your design goals.
- Clean edges and fine pattern details depend on choosing suitable laser settings for your material. Adjusting these settings helps achieve more consistent results when cutting the decorative panels.
