Christmas Lights Wreath SVG

About this design

Take a string of lights, close it into a ring and let every bulb point outward: that is this wreath. The fourteen bulbs are spaced evenly around the circle and alternate between red, gold and blue, so the pattern repeats neatly all the way around. The center is a large open circle.

It is a single piece. The only opening is the big circle in the middle, which makes the wreath quick to weed even in a large size.

Color layers

• Wire base in dark pine green
• Silver sockets
• Red, gold and blue bulb layers

Best uses

The open center makes this a frame as much as a decoration:

• Monogram door hanger. Put a single initial or a family name inside.
• Round wood sign. The circle sits perfectly on a wood round.
• Photo frame. Glue a cardstock wreath around a round photo.
• Wreath for a window. Removable vinyl, 12 to 16 inches across.
• Tote bags and sweatshirts. Add a year in the middle for a family set.
• Ornament. On a flat round ornament with the year inside.

Size and cutting tips

The wreath passes our cut checks from about 3 inches across. For a door sign on a 12-inch wood round, set it to about 11 inches. The bulbs point outward, so measure from bulb tip to bulb tip when you plan the space.

When you apply a large circle, use one piece of transfer tape larger than the wreath and work from the center outward to avoid stretching the ring out of round.

Step by step: a family name door hanger

1. Download the solid style at 11 inches and cut it from permanent white vinyl.
2. In your software, type your family name in a script font about 6 inches wide.
3. Cut the name from red vinyl.
4. Paint a 12-inch wood round dark green or black and let it dry fully.
5. Apply the wreath first, then center the name inside it.
6. Add a ribbon hanger through two small holes at the top.

Color ideas

• White bulbs on a black wire on a natural wood round
• Red and green bulbs only for a traditional look
• Copper wire with amber bulbs for a vintage glow

Variations to try

• Use the editor to add a scalloped circle background and cut the wreath out of it.
• Rotate the wreath slightly in the editor so a bulb sits at the very top.

Pairs well with

The Christmas Lights Heart makes a matching pair, and the Joy with Star saying fits nicely in the center when scaled down.
