My First Christmas Tree SVG

About this design

This design sets “My First” and “Christmas” on two lines in a bold, cheerful script and adds a little Christmas tree above them: three stacked green tiers, a small trunk and a gold star on top. The tree gives the design a focal point, and the compact block fits bodysuits, bibs and blankets.

The tree is a single piece, the words are welded where letters touch, and the design has ten pieces and five small holes. Weed the small openings in the letters first; the rest comes away quickly.

Color layers

• Lettering in green as the base, including the tree
• Star in gold on top

Projects

• Bibs. The one-line layout fits the width of a bib.
• Bodysuits for the first Christmas photo.
• Blankets along one edge.
• Ornaments with the year below the words.
• Stockings on the cuff.
• Nursery shelf sign for the season.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide: 4 to 4.5 inches on a bodysuit or a bib, and 6 inches on a stocking cuff. The star is small, so for layered vinyl cut at 5 inches or more.

Step by step: first Christmas bib

1. Set the design to 4 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Mirror and cut it from soft green iron-on vinyl.
3. Press it on the bib about an inch below the neckline.
4. Add a gold star cut separately if you want the two-color look.
5. Wash the bib inside out to protect the vinyl.

Font note

The script is an open-licensed font converted to shapes; the tree is drawn for this design. Nothing needs installing.

Color ideas

• Red lettering with a green tree and gold star on white
• White lettering with a silver star on a green bodysuit
• Navy lettering with a gold star on cream

Variations to try

• Add the baby’s name below in a matching font.
• Use the editor to add a rounded square background for a nursery sign.

Good to know

The tree is the same color as the lettering in the base layer. To make the tree a different green, cut it again from another shade and place it on top, like a third layer.

Pairs well with

The My First Christmas with Star uses the same wording on two lines, and the Snow-Capped Christmas Tree adds a larger tree.
