Striped Gift SVG

About this design

This present is wrapped in candy-stripe paper. Three wide diagonal stripes run across the front of the box, and on top, a big, fluffy bow spreads out in loops and folds. In the layered version, the stripes and the bow show gold against the green, so the box looks like it is wrapped in bold, shiny paper.

The gift is one connected piece with seventeen cut-outs. The stripes are wide and the bow details well spaced, so it passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall. The bow folds are the finest parts, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: candy-stripe card

1. Set the gift to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from red cardstock instead of green.
3. Cut the backing from white cardstock, so the stripes look like a candy cane.
4. Glue the layers together and onto a green card.
5. Add a real ribbon bow over the printed one if you like.

Color ideas

• Green with gold stripes, the classic
• Red with white stripes for a candy cane look
• Blue with silver stripes for a winter gift
• Black with gold stripes for an elegant present

Design notes

The stripes run diagonally, which gives the box a lively, modern look and draws the eye up toward the bow.

Good to know

The stripes and bow are cut-outs, so they share the backing color. For a two-tone look with a different bow, glue a small piece of a second color behind just the bow before adding the backing.

Choosing a size

At 3.5 to 4 inches, it suits tags and small cards. At 5 to 6 inches, it fits cards and gift card holders. At 8 inches and up, it works on shirts and bags.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to slant the stripes the other way.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
