Gnome Name Ornament SVG

About this design

An ornament made to be personalized. A thick ring with a hanging loop frames a gnome face, and a blank sign runs across the bottom of the ring with an open panel inside it for a name, a year or a short message.

Personalized ornaments are some of the most popular Christmas gifts, and the sign leaves room for one name in a bold font or two short names in a smaller one.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 9 pieces and 2 cut-outs. The ring, the gnome face and the sign are separate pieces, and the open panel of the sign is a cut-out where you add the name. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Hat and coat in red: the whole gnome, cut as the base layer
• Beard in silver gray
• Nose in peach
• Accents in gold: the ring, the loop, the sign and the pompom

Projects

Step by step: a name ornament

1. Set the design to 4 inches tall and download the color file.
2. Add a name inside the sign panel in your software, sized to leave a small gap all round.
3. Cut the ring and sign from gold vinyl, the gnome parts in their colors and the name in red.
4. Apply everything to a flat round ornament, ring first, then the gnome and the name.
5. Write the year on the back with a paint pen.

• Wood ring with black lettering
• Gold and red, as shown

Choosing a font for the name

Pick a bold, simple font so the name cuts cleanly at ornament size, and keep it to about ten letters. Script fonts with thin joins look lovely but need a larger ornament, about 5 inches, to cut well.

A family set

Cut one ornament per person in the same colors and change only the name in the sign panel. Hang them in a row on the tree, or tie one to each place setting at Christmas dinner, so it doubles as a place card that guests can take home and hang on their own tree next year.

Pairs well with

The Gnome with Blank Sign holds a bigger sign, and the Baby’s 1st Christmas Ornament suits a first Christmas.
