Hanging Bell Ornament SVG

About this design

This little bell hangs from a long string, like an ornament on a branch. A small bow is tied partway along the string, and another sits right at the top of the bell. The bell itself is small and rounded, with a gently flared rim. In the layered version, the inside of the bows shows red.

The design is one connected piece with five cut-outs. Because the string is long and thin compared with the bell, it passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall.

Design notes

The long string gives the bell a sense of hanging, which makes it perfect for designs that drop from the top edge, such as cards, windows and banners.

Good to know

Several bells at different string lengths make a lovely hanging display. Stretch the string in your software to make some bells hang lower than others.

Choosing a size

At 4.5 to 5 inches, it fits cards and tags. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits window clings. At 12 inches and up, it works as a wall decal.

Making a set

Cut three bells in gold, silver and red, and hang them from a ribbon across a window or mantel.

Variations to try

• Stretch the string in your software to change the length.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
