Bell with Bow SVG

About this design

This bell is dressed up with a big bow. A large ribbon bow sits on top, with full loops and folds, and two long tails sweep down and outward on both sides of the bell, curling at the ends. The bell below has a red clapper and a line along its rim. In the layered version, the bow and tails show red, so the gold bell looks wrapped in ribbon.

The design is two pieces with nine cut-outs. The bow is large and the ribbon wide, so it passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall. The ribbon tails are long and curved, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: door bell decoration

1. Set the design to 12 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold adhesive vinyl and the backing from red.
3. Apply both to a painted wooden round, backing first.
4. Add your family name under the bell.
5. Hang it on the front door with a real red ribbon.

Color ideas

• Gold with red, the classic
• Silver with red
• Gold with green ribbon
• Gold with plaid ribbon, using patterned paper as the backing

Design notes

The ribbon tails frame the bell on both sides, which gives the design a balanced, elegant shape. The bow at the top makes it look ready to hang.

Good to know

Because the bow and tails are cut-outs, the backing color becomes the ribbon color. Red is classic, green is traditional, and a plaid paper backing gives a cozy, rustic ribbon.

Choosing a size

At 3.5 to 4 inches, it fits tags. At 5 to 6 inches, it suits cards and ornaments. At 12 inches and up, it works on doors and walls.

Making a set

Cut two bells with bows and hang them on either side of a doorway or window for a symmetrical holiday display.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the tails.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
