Three Hanging Christmas Bulbs SVG

About this design

Sometimes fewer, bigger shapes say more. This design hangs three large C9 bulbs from short cords below a gently curving wire, with the middle bulb dropping lowest and the outer two tilting slightly outward. The result looks like a minimalist holiday mobile: graphic, balanced and readable at any size.

Each cord joins both the wire and its socket, so the whole design is one connected piece with no enclosed openings to weed. It is one of the quickest designs on the site to cut and apply.

Color layers

The base layer covers the wire, cords and bulbs in dark green. A silver layer adds the sockets, and three single-bulb layers color the glass red, gold and blue. Because each bulb is large, layering is easy even for beginners.

Ideas

• Minimal sweatshirt. Three bulbs centered on the chest, about 8 inches wide.
• Coasters. One bulb trio per coaster in permanent vinyl or engraved.
• Front door sign. Large bulbs above the house number.
• Cards and tags. A small trio on a white card with a gold sticker.
• Felt project. Big shapes are perfect for felt with a cutting machine.
• Bar or coffee station. Above a “Hot Cocoa Bar” sign.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide. Since the bulbs are big and simple, it holds up very well at small sizes. On felt or thick cardstock, cut it at least 6 inches wide so the cords stay sturdy.

For felt, use the solid style and cut the bulbs separately from colored felt, then glue them over the base.
