Gift with Antlers SVG

About this design

This present is dressing up as a reindeer. A small box with a lid has a pair of branching antlers rising from the top, and a little bow is tucked between them, its folds showing gold in the layered version. It is a playful mash-up of two Christmas favorites that works beautifully for kids and fun gifts.

The gift is one connected piece with two cut-outs in the bow. The antlers are thick enough to cut cleanly, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, which shows in the bow
• Design in green, the box and antlers

Playful projects

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The antler tips are the narrowest parts, so for felt choose 5 inches or more. For a child’s shirt, 7 to 8 inches.

Step by step: reindeer gift box craft

1. Set the design to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the box from red cardstock and the antlers again from brown cardstock.
3. Trim the brown copy to keep only the antlers and glue them over the red ones.
4. Add googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose to the front of the box.
5. Tape it to a real gift as a topper.

Color ideas

• Green with gold, the classic
• Red box with brown antlers for a reindeer look
• Brown box with gold antlers
• White box with silver antlers

Design notes

The antlers rise straight up from the lid, which makes the box look like it has a head. The bow between them acts like a little tuft of hair, adding to the character.

Good to know

Adding a face turns this into a reindeer instantly. On a cardstock version, glue on googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose. Kids love making these as gift toppers.

Two-color option

Cut the design twice, once for the box in red or green and once for the antlers in brown or gold, then trim each copy and layer them.

Choosing a size

At 3 to 4 inches, it fits tags and toppers. At 5 to 6 inches, it suits cards. At 7 inches and up, it works on shirts.

Variations to try

• Add a face in your software for a reindeer gift.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
