Christmas Truck Silhouette SVG

About this design

The truck at its simplest. This version is drawn in a single color, a vintage pickup facing left with a tall tree with a star standing at the front of the bed, close to the cab.

One-color designs are the easiest to use as stencils and the quickest to cut, and they look striking on wood and glass.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 10 pieces and 6 cut-outs. The tree, wheels and headlight are separated from the truck by thin cut lines, and the window, door and tailgate lines are cut-outs. Keep everything on one sheet of transfer tape so the parts stay lined up. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Step by step: a stenciled sign

1. Set the design to 18 inches wide and download the solid file.
2. Cut it from stencil vinyl and weed out the truck shape.
3. Apply it to a painted board.
4. Paint over it and peel the stencil while the paint is wet.
5. Seal the sign.

• Charcoal, as shown

Stencils

Solid shapes paint cleanly through a stencil. Seal the stencil edges with a thin coat of the background color first to stop bleeding.

Good to know

A single color makes this truck the most flexible design in the collection. It works in black on a white board, in white on a chalkboard, in gold foil on a card and in mirror vinyl on a tumbler. The tall tree stands near the cab, so the design is a little taller than the classic truck and fits square spaces well.

Cutting tips

There is only one color layer, so this is the quickest truck to cut and weed. The cut lines inside still show the wheels, window, door and tree, so the truck reads clearly at any size. On glass, use etching cream through a stencil cut from the solid file. The color file has 1 layer, and every layer can be changed in the editor on this page before you download.
