Tower Bell SVG

About this design

This is the kind of bell that rings out across a town on Christmas morning. A large bell hangs from a curved wooden yoke, the beam that holds church and tower bells, with brackets connecting the bell to the beam. The bell has a strong flared rim with a line around it and a small clapper below. In the layered version, a detail on the clapper shows red.

The design is four pieces with two cut-outs. The bell and yoke are bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Design notes

The curved yoke gives the bell a sense of weight and history, like an old church or town bell. It is a more traditional look than the decorated bells in the collection.

Good to know

This bell suits faith-based and community projects especially well: Christmas services, bell choirs, town events and weddings. It also suits New Year’s Eve, when bells ring in the year.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it suits programs and tags. At 4 to 5 inches, it fits cards and ornaments. At 8 inches and up, it works on posters and signs.

Pairing with text

“Let the bells ring” or “Joy to the world” sits naturally under the bell, centered beneath the rim.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border to join the pieces into one shape.
• Add a year on the yoke in your software.

Pairs well with

The Hand Bell is another traditional bell, and the Ringing Bell is in motion.
