Bell in a Santa Hat SVG

About this design

This bell is dressed up as Santa. It wears a floppy Santa hat on top, with a band around the bottom and a pom-pom on the tip, all showing red in the layered version. Below the hat, the bell has a rim line and a round clapper. It is a fun, playful mash-up that kids love.

The design is two pieces with four cut-outs. The shapes are big and bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in red, which becomes the hat band and pom-pom
• Design in gold, the bell and hat

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. For felt, choose 5 inches or more. For a child’s shirt, 7 to 8 inches.

Step by step: three-color ornament

1. Set the bell to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold cardstock and the backing from red.
3. Cut the design again from white cardstock and keep only the hat band and pom-pom.
4. Glue the red backing, then the gold bell, then the white band and pom-pom on top.
5. Add a ribbon loop at the tip of the hat.

• Silver bell with a red hat
• Gold bell with a green elf hat
• Red bell with a white hat

Design notes

The hat flops over to one side, which gives the bell personality, like a little character. The bell shape below stays classic, so it still reads as a bell.

Good to know

For a true Santa hat look, cut the hat band and pom-pom in white. Because they are cut-outs, you can also place white felt or faux fur behind them on a finished project for texture.

Choosing a size

At 4 to 5 inches, it fits ornaments and cards. At 7 to 8 inches, it suits kids’ shirts. At 12 inches and up, it works on signs.

Pairing with text

“Jingle all the way” or a child’s name fits nicely below the rim.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flop the hat the other way.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
