Bell with Mistletoe SVG

About this design

Hang this bell in a doorway and see who meets beneath it. A sprig of spiky leaves with fine veins is tied to the top of the bell, with a few round berries gathered where the stems meet. The bell flares out to a wide rim, and in the layered version you can see a red interior inside it, with a round clapper hanging in the middle.

It is a single connected shape with twelve cut-outs. Because the leaf veins are hairline-thin at everyday sizes, the page shows a “Print & web” label for this one: printing is the easy route, and cutting works once you reach about 5 inches tall.

How the layers work

• Backing in red: fills the veins and the inside of the rim
• Design in gold: the bell, the sprig and the berries

Good uses for it

• Doorway signs for a holiday party, hung on ribbon.
• Engagement or “first kiss” anniversary cards in December.
• Printed table numbers for a winter wedding.
• Photo booth props printed on card and taped to a dowel.
• Gift wrap stickers printed on glossy sticker paper.

Printing and cutting

Printed, it looks crisp at any size because the veins are just lines of ink. If you want to cut it, 5 inches is the smallest size where the veins stay connected; go to 6 or 7 inches on glossy or metallic vinyl, which tears more easily than matte. Skip felt, flocked iron-on and glitter cardstock for this one.

Step by step: party doorway sign

1. Download the PNG at 300 DPI, 5 inches tall.
2. In your design software, change the leaves to a deep green and leave the bell gold.
3. Type “Meet me under the mistletoe” and set it under the rim.
4. Print it on heavy matte card and punch two holes at the top.
5. Thread red ribbon through and hang it from the top of a doorframe.

Colors that work

• Gold bell, green sprig and white berries for true mistletoe
• Silver bell with red veins for a wintry look
• All gold on cream for a wedding card
• Copper bell on kraft paper for a rustic party

When to choose a different bell

For a bell with greenery that you plan to cut at small sizes, choose the Bell with Holly instead, which passes our checks from about 4 inches.

Pairs well with

The Holly and Mistletoe sprig hangs the same way, and the Bell Heart suits the same romantic projects.
