Striped Bell SVG

About this design

This bell is wrapped in stripes. It is tall and elegant, with a small knob on top, and three bold horizontal bands wrap around its body, getting wider toward the rim. At the bottom, the inside of the rim shows red in the layered version, giving the bell depth. The stripes give it a graphic, almost retro look.

The bell is one connected piece with four cut-outs. The stripes are wide, 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. The stripes are wide, so it cuts well from felt at 4 inches or more. For a shirt, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: candy stripe ornament

1. Set the bell to 4 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from white cardstock instead of gold.
3. Cut the backing from red cardstock, so the bell looks like peppermint.
4. Glue the layers together.
5. Hang it with a red-and-white twine loop through the knob.

Color ideas

• Gold with red stripes, the classic
• White with red stripes for peppermint
• Silver with blue stripes
• Gold with green stripes

Design notes

The stripes widen toward the rim, following the flare of the bell, which helps the bell look rounded and three-dimensional.

Good to know

The stripes and rim interior share the backing color. A red backing with a white bell makes a peppermint bell, while gold with green looks traditional. Silver with blue stripes gives a cool, wintry bell that suits a snowflake theme.

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 posters.

Pairing with text

The tall, narrow shape fits beside a column of text, such as a holiday menu, a recipe or a short poem.
