Globe Bulb String Lights SVG

About this design

Not every light string has to look like a vintage Christmas tree. This one uses round globe bulbs, the kind strung across patios, porches and café windows, hanging straight down from two shallow swags. The perfectly round bulbs and even spacing give it a calm, modern look that suits minimalist and Scandinavian-style decor.

Every globe connects to the wire through its small socket, so the string cuts as one piece without enclosed openings.

Color file

The wire is the dark green base layer, the sockets are silver, and the globes are split into red, gold and blue layers. For the look of warm white patio lights, set all three bulb colors to a soft cream or pale gold in the editor before downloading.

Ideas for modern decor

• Black and white sign. White globes on a black board above “Merry Everything”.
• Holiday market or bake sale banner. A café feel for a stall sign.
• Window decal in white for a cozy glow.
• Engraved wood. A laser-engraved globe string on a serving board.
• Party invitation. Gold foil globes across the top of the card.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide. The globes are compact, so this design keeps its shape well at small sizes, but the short sockets are its thinnest part. At small sizes, cut the solid style in one color instead of layering.

On a laser, engrave the globes and cut the outline, or score the wire and engrave the bulbs for a subtle effect.

Step by step: warm-white window lights

1. In the editor, choose the color style and set every bulb layer to a warm cream.
2. Set the width to match your window, usually 16 to 24 inches.
3. If the window is wider than your mat, cut two copies and join them at the middle hanging point.
4. Cut the wire from black removable vinyl and the globes from cream vinyl.
5. Apply the wire across the top of the glass, then add the globes.
