Gift with Ribbon Swirl SVG

About this design

This present has a bow with a twist. A square box with a lid sits at the bottom, and on top, a swirling ribbon curls into loose, playful loops, like a hand-tied curling ribbon. In the layered version, the inside of the loops shows gold. The rest of the box is plain, so the swirl is the star.

The gift is one connected piece with four cut-outs in the bow. The shapes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Design notes

The swirling loops give the bow a sense of movement, as if it was just tied. The plain box below balances the busy bow and keeps the design easy to read.

Good to know

The plain front of the box is a perfect place for a name or a number. Add text in your software, or slice it out of the box for a two-color look with the backing.

Making a set

Cut this gift alongside the Simple Gift Box and the Gift Box with Big Bow for a set of three presents with three different bows.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits stickers. At 3.5 to 4.5 inches, it fits cards and tags. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and bags.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the swirl.
