Gift Box with Big Bow SVG

About this design

This is the present everyone hopes to find under the tree. A square box with a slightly wider lid sits at the bottom, a ribbon runs straight down the front, and on top, a huge bow spreads its loops and tails wide, with folds and creases that make it look soft and full. In the layered version, the ribbon and bow show gold against the green box.

The gift is one connected piece with ten cut-outs, most of them in the bow. The box is big and simple, and the bow details are well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall. The bow creases are the finest parts, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 7 inches or more.

Step by step: gift card holder

1. Set the gift to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut two green layers from green cardstock and one gold backing.
3. Glue one green layer onto the gold backing for the front.
4. Glue the second green layer behind it along the sides and bottom only, leaving the top open.
5. Slide a gift card in from the top.

Color ideas

• Green box with a gold bow, the classic
• Red box with a gold bow
• Blue box with a silver bow
• White box with a red bow

Design notes

The bow is almost as wide as the box, which makes the gift look generous and exciting. The single ribbon down the front keeps the box simple so the bow stays the star.

Good to know

The ribbon and bow are both cut-outs, so the backing color decides their color. Gold is festive, silver is wintry, and red is classic. On a white shirt, skip the backing and the ribbon shows white.

Choosing a size

At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards and gift card holders. At 8 to 10 inches, it fills the front of a shirt or a gift bag. At 12 inches and up, it makes a bold wall or window decal.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the bow.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
