Snowman Head Christmas Tag SVG

About this design

Round face, tall hat, carrot pointing off to one side: this snowman needs no words to get his point across. The tag is his head and nothing else, so the outline itself is the picture, and the string goes through a hole in the crown of the navy top hat.

The face is simple on purpose. Two navy eyes, five navy dots curving up into a smile and one long orange nose leave most of the cream circle empty, and the reverse is entirely free for names and messages.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 9 pieces and 8 cut-outs. The large piece is the head and hat together, with small tabs bridging the thin line under the brim. The eight small ones are the nose, two eyes and five mouth dots. Six of the cut-outs are channels around those features, with the middle three mouth dots sharing one wavy channel; the other two are the string hole and the slit below the brim. Dots this tiny are easy to lose on the mat, so count all eight small parts before you peel anything away. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches wide, making it one of the smaller tags you can cut.

Hanging it from the crown

Head and hat come off the mat as a single shape, so the tag hangs from the crown without any help. The tabs under the brim are small, though, so tie the string loosely and avoid tugging on it. The face is a different matter. Eyes, nose and mouth dots sit loose in their channels, so glue them onto a white, navy or kraft backing cut to the outer shape, then punch through the crown to match. In vinyl, transfer tape keeps every part in position for applying to a box.

Size guide

Cutting a batch

For a dozen matching tags, nest the outlines on one sheet of cream, then run a sheet of navy for the eyes, dots and hats, snipping each hat free at its tabs and gluing it over the cream one. The orange noses can all come from a single scrap. Keep the mouth dots in a small dish so they do not vanish into the carpet. If gluing all those tiny circles sounds grim, print the color file on cardstock and use Print Then Cut, which is also the way to go below 1.5 inches. A black marker will draw the eyes and dots faster than you can place them.
