Polka Dot Bell SVG

About this design

This bell is dressed in polka dots. Round dots of all sizes are scattered across the whole bell, from the top down to the rim, and a bow with short ribbon tails sits on top. In the layered version, the dots show red against the gold, so the bell looks playful and bright, like a painted ornament.

The bell is one connected piece with twenty cut-outs, mostly dots. The dots are well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. With twenty dots, weeding takes a few minutes. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: confetti ornament

1. Set the bell to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold cardstock.
3. Glue a sheet of multicolored or rainbow paper behind it instead of plain red.
4. Trim the paper to the bell’s outline.
5. Hang it with a ribbon through the bow.

Color ideas

• Gold with red dots, the classic
• White with red dots
• Red with white dots
• Silver with multicolored dots

Design notes

The dots vary in size, with larger ones in the middle and smaller ones near the edges, which makes the pattern look lively and natural.

Good to know

Because every dot is a cut-out, a multicolored backing gives you a confetti bell with no extra cutting. You can also glue a sequin or a rhinestone into each dot for sparkle. Kids love choosing a different color for every dot on a classroom craft version, coloring the backing with markers before the layers go together.

Choosing a size

At 3 to 4 inches, it suits tags and ornaments. At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and signs.

Pairing with text

A playful line such as “Jingle all the way” in a bold, rounded font matches the fun polka dot style.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add a name under the bell in your software.
