Christmas Tree Shaped Gift Tag SVG

The tree is the tag

No panel, no border, no words. The silhouette does the talking: three soft-edged tiers stacked on a stubby trunk, with six gold balls dotted across the branches and a hole punched just under the tip. Rounded tier corners keep the tree from snagging on ribbon or bending in a stocking, and they are easy for a blade to follow.

Because nothing is written on the front, the same cut works for every person on your list.

How the file is built

Seven pieces, seven cut-outs. One piece is the tree, trunk included, and the other six are the ornaments. Each ornament sits inside its own ring-shaped opening, so those six rings plus the string hole make up the seven cut-outs. The balls drop out free, which means a backing is needed if you want them on the tree: a sheet of card behind, or transfer tape for vinyl. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines: dark green-black, the complete design as a base layer
• Tag: pine green, the tree and trunk
• Accents: golden yellow, the six ornaments

Want a brown trunk? That takes one extra rectangle of paper glued over the base of the tree, since the trunk belongs to the Tag layer.

A batch for the whole family

Tree tags tend to be needed in dozens, and this shape packs well on a mat.

1. Size one tree at 2.5 inches and duplicate it until the sheet is full.
2. Cut from green card, and leave the six balls behind if you prefer plain holes.
3. Glue each tree onto a scrap of gold or red paper and trim around it.
4. Write a name on the back of each one before tying.

Gold paper showing through the empty circles gives the same effect as the loose balls with a fraction of the handling, so that is the quick route for a large run. Single sheets can also go through Print Then Cut.

Kids at the table

Older children can do the gluing while an adult handles the machine. Hand them a plain green tree and let them press sequins or stickers into the openings. Round paper-punch dots also fit the idea, and nobody minds if one lands a little off center.

Cutting sizes

After the unwrapping

Cut from thick card, a tree this size hangs perfectly well on a real tree, so a loop of gold thread turns it into next year’s ornament.

The Star Shaped Christmas Tag could top the same parcel, and the Gift Box Shaped Christmas Tag is another outline that needs no words.
