Big Gift Bow SVG

About this design

Sometimes all you need is the bow. This design is a single big ribbon bow with two rounded loops, a small knot in the middle and two long tails that flow down and out. It is a clean, solid silhouette with no extra details, which makes it easy to cut and easy to add to anything.

The bow is one connected piece with no cut-outs, so it is quick to cut and weed. The shape is bold, and it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Step by step: faux leather hair bow

1. Set the bow to 3.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut it from red or plaid faux leather on a strong-grip mat.
3. Pinch the center slightly and wrap it with a thin strip of matching faux leather.
4. Glue the strip at the back.
5. Glue the bow to a hair clip.

Color ideas

• Green, the classic
• Red for a traditional bow
• Gold glitter for a party
• Plaid patterned vinyl or faux leather

Design notes

The tails are longer than the loops, which gives the bow an elegant, flowing shape. It looks good on its own and also balances well when placed on top of a box or a wreath.

Good to know

Because the bow is one solid shape, it is a great finishing touch for other designs. Cut a small one and place it on a plain gift box, a stocking or a wreath to add a festive touch.

Making a set

Cut several bows in different sizes and colors and use them as gift toppers on a pile of wrapped presents. Matching bows in red, gold and green make the whole pile look coordinated.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits stickers and earrings. At 3 to 4 inches, it fits hair bows and gift toppers. At 12 inches and up, it works on doors and walls.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
