Ringing Bell SVG

About this design

You can almost hear this bell. It is caught mid-swing, tilted far to one side, with a ribbon flying out from the top and curling in the air. The clapper swings out at the rim, showing the movement. In the layered version, part of the ribbon shows red, and the rest of the bell is a smooth gold shape.

The design is three pieces with two cut-outs. The shapes are bold and full of movement, so it passes our cut checks from just 2 inches tall.

Color layers

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2 inches tall. The ribbon ends are the narrowest parts, so for felt choose 4 inches or more. For a shirt, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: ring in the new year card

1. Set the bell to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the gold layer from gold glitter cardstock and the backing from red or black.
3. Glue them together and onto a navy card.
4. Add “Ring in the new year” in silver.
5. Add a few star stickers around it.

Design notes

The strong tilt and flying ribbon make this the most energetic bell in the collection. It reads as sound and celebration, even without any extra lines.

Good to know

This bell works just as well for New Year’s Eve as for Christmas. In silver and black, it makes a great party invitation or countdown sign.

Choosing a size

At 2 to 3 inches, it suits stickers and tags. At 4 to 5 inches, it fits cards. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and signs.

Pairing with text

Place text on the side the bell swings toward, so it looks like the bell is ringing out your words. It also pairs nicely with a countdown clock design for New Year’s Eve.

Variations to try

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

Pairs well with

The Hand Bell also rings, and the Bell with Rays shows sound lines.
