Ho Ho Ho Christmas Tag SVG

About this design

Three syllables, repeated, and everybody knows who is talking. HO appears once, twice, three times down the middle of a green circle in chunky cream capitals that feel a little bit like block printing. A gold star flanks the middle line on each side, which fills the widest part of the circle and stops the column of letters from looking lonely. The hole sits at the very top.

With only two different letters to manage, it is a forgiving place to start if lettered tags are new to you.

Kids’ crafts

Big shapes and few of them make this a good first project for small hands.

• Older children can glue the cream letters onto a precut green circle.
• Younger ones can sponge paint over a ready-made tag, then add stars.
• Add a line of glitter glue around the outside for extra sparkle.
• Have them write their own name on the blank back.

An adult should still run the machine and do the weeding, but the assembly is a happy table job.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 9 pieces and 9 cut-outs. There is the round tag, then the three H shapes and three O shapes, then two stars. Among the cut-outs: one string hole, three channels (one for each HO), three O centers and a gap around each star. Letters are separate pieces held in a channel carved out of the tag, which means you need transfer tape or a backing card to keep them in position. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in a very dark green-black: the whole design, cut as the base layer
• Tag in evergreen: the circle
• Accents in warm gold: the two stars
• Lettering in cream: all three HO lines

Quick layered version

Size the solid file to about 3 inches and cut the circle from green card. Cut it again from cream for the letters and from gold for the stars. Stick the green tag to a dark or red disc of the same size, then drop each piece into its space. Gold glitter card makes the stars feel a little more special without changing the layout at all.

Reusing it as an ornament

Tags this size have a second life on the tree. Cut the circle from heavy card or glue two tags back to back, thread a loop of narrow ribbon through the hole and add the recipient’s name on the back. It hangs flat, and it stays in the family long after the wrapping goes out.

Size guide

At the very small end the string hole shrinks too, so swap ribbon for thread or thin cord.
