Bell Border SVG

About this design

This border hangs a row of bells. A long horizontal bar runs across the top, and three little bells hang below it on thin strings, evenly spaced. Each bell has a small clapper that shows red in the layered version. It looks like bells hung from a mantel or a shelf, ready to ring.

The border is one connected piece with three cut-outs. Because the strings are long and thin compared with the whole width, it passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide. The strings are thin, so use a fresh blade. For a window, 12 to 24 inches wide.

Step by step: window top border

1. Set the border to 20 inches wide in the editor and download the solid style.
2. Cut it in two halves if it is wider than your mat, matching them at the bar.
3. Cut it from gold static-cling vinyl.
4. Apply it along the top of a window, so the bells hang down.
5. Add a few snowflake clings below.

Color ideas

• Gold with red, the classic
• Silver with red
• Gold with green
• White on a dark window

Design notes

The bells hang at the same height and are evenly spaced, which gives the border a neat, calm rhythm. The bar on top makes it easy to line up straight.

Good to know

To make the strings longer or shorter, ungroup the design in your software and adjust each bell’s position, then weld it back together.

Choosing a size

At 5 to 6 inches, it fits card headers. At 10 to 12 inches, it suits shelves and menus. At 20 inches and up, it works on windows and walls.

Pairing with text

Place a greeting under the bells, so the border frames it from above like a banner.

Variations to try

• Repeat it end to end in your software for a longer border.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Hanging Bell Ornament is a single bell on a string, and the Gift Border is another festive border.
