Cookies for Santa Sign SVG

Picture a hand-painted board propped against the hearth with a note and a saucer nearby. The script at the top is the star of this one, a single fat, friendly word in red that runs nearly the full width, with two more words in steady capitals tucked under it. Along the bottom, three chocolate chip cookies overlap in a shallow row, the center cookie a little higher and larger than the two at its shoulders.

Kitchen and mantel decor

A sign is what this layout does best, since the heavy script holds up from across the room.

• Painted wooden boards with the lettering in vinyl and the cookies in layered color.
• Hanging plaques on a ribbon from a cabinet knob.
• Framed prints behind glass, cut in cardstock for a little depth.
• Table tent cards for the spot where the snack gets left out.
• Door hangers that tell the visitor where to find the goods.

For a board, cut the lettering in adhesive vinyl and transfer it first, then build the rest around it. The three cookies then fill the space below, and you can line them up by eye against the bottom edge.

Pieces and weeding

Thirty-three pieces and 20 cut-outs are in the solid file. Each letter is a separate piece, the dot on the i included, and the cookies and chips add the rest of the count. Nothing joins the words to the cookies, so the top half and bottom half will drift apart without help. Transfer tape solves that in vinyl, while a backing card does the same job in paper. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Bigger is kinder here. At the minimum width the pieces are tiny, while a full-size sign has letters you can peel with your fingers.

Layer by layer

• Base and lines is a dark cocoa brown shape, solid behind the three cookies, that appears only as their lines and a shallow edge
• Cookie takes golden tan for the three rounds
• Chocolate is the mid-brown of the chips, close to milk chocolate
• Lettering is a deep cranberry red, carrying all three words directly on the open page with no backing

The words need a light surface behind them, so white-washed wood or cream paint suits the default red. On stained or dark boards, change that layer to cream or white with help from the color-change walkthrough.

A gift plate tag

Small versions make a sweet tag for a tin going to a family with young children. Cut it at 3 inches, attach it to a piece of stiff card, punch a hole and tie it on with baker’s twine. The kids get to believe they have been given the official supply.
