Filigree Bell SVG

About this design

This bell is decorated like a piece of fine jewelry. A bow with loops sits on top, and two ribbons flow down and out to the sides. On the front of the bell, swirling filigree curls and little dots wrap around a round medallion, with more curls along the rim. In the layered version, all of the filigree shows red against the gold, like an engraving.

The design is two pieces with thirteen cut-outs. The swirls are detailed but well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall. The swirls are the finest parts, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 6 inches or more.

Step by step: elegant layered card

1. Set the bell to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold foil cardstock.
3. Cut the backing from deep red or burgundy cardstock.
4. Glue the layers together and onto an ivory card.
5. Add a thin gold ribbon around the card.

Color ideas

• Gold with red, the classic
• Gold with burgundy for an elegant card
• Silver with navy
• Rose gold with blush for a wedding

Design notes

The filigree swirls are arranged symmetrically around the medallion, which gives the bell a formal, ornamental look. The flowing ribbons soften the design and add movement.

Good to know

The swirls are cut-outs, so the backing color fills them in. A deep red or burgundy backing looks rich and traditional, while blush or ivory feels light and romantic.

Choosing a size

At 4.5 to 5 inches, it fits cards and ornaments. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits pillows and prints. At 12 inches and up, it works on signs.

Making it a keepsake

Write a couple’s names and the year on the back of an acrylic or wood version for a lasting wedding or anniversary ornament.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the ribbons.
