Hand Bell SVG

About this design

This bell is held in a hand. It is a handbell with a knob handle on top, tilted to one side as if it is being rung, with its wide, flared rim and clapper swinging out. The design is a clean, solid silhouette with no inner details, which gives it a bold, simple look.

The bell is one connected piece with no cut-outs, so it is quick to cut and weed. The shape is bold, and it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Color ideas

• Gold, the classic

Design notes

The tilt shows the bell mid-ring, which gives the silhouette movement. The knob handle on top makes it instantly recognizable as a handbell.

Good to know

As a single solid shape, this bell is ideal for laser cutting, stencils and thick materials. In wood, paint it gold for a sturdy ornament. It also makes a neat stencil for painting on fabric.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits earrings and stickers. At 3 to 4 inches, it fits tags and cards. At 8 inches and up, it works on signs.

Pairing with text

“Ring in the season” or a choir name fits nicely beside the bell, in the space created by its tilt.

Variations to try

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