Heart Gift Box SVG

About this design

This gift is shaped like a heart. A full, rounded heart forms the box, and across the top, a big bow with a knot and two ribbon tails spreads out, as if the heart was wrapped and tied with care. In the layered version, the bow shows gold against the green, and the rest of the heart is a big, clean space.

The heart is one connected piece with five cut-outs, all in the bow. Because most of the design is a big solid shape, it is easy to cut and weed, and 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 details are the finest parts, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 6 inches or more.

Step by step: red heart pillow

1. Set the heart to 12 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from red iron-on vinyl and the backing from gold.
3. Press the gold backing on a white pillow cover.
4. Line up the red heart on top and press again.
5. Add a name or a date across the heart in white vinyl.

Color ideas

• Green with a gold bow, the classic
• Red with a gold bow for a romantic gift
• Pink with a white bow for a sweet look
• White with a red bow

Design notes

The bow sits at the top of the heart, where the two curves meet, which makes the heart look wrapped like a present. The large plain area below is perfect for a name or a message.

Good to know

Because the heart is mostly solid, it is great for laser-cut wood, acrylic and faux leather. In wood, paint the heart red and the bow gold for a lovely keepsake ornament.

Making it personal

Add a name, an initial or a date across the heart in your software. A short word such as “Love” or “Mom” fits perfectly in the open space under the bow.

Choosing a size

At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards and ornaments. At 8 to 10 inches, it suits shirts and bags. At 12 inches and up, it works on pillows and signs.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add a name across the heart in your software.
