Polar Bear with Cocoa SVG

About this design

Nothing warms up a polar bear like hot cocoa. This round, cuddly bear sits in the snow wearing a pair of earmuffs and holds a big mug of cocoa with both paws, a wisp of steam rising from the top. Its cream muzzle peeks over the rim as if it is about to take a sip.

It is the perfect partner for cocoa bars, mugs, winter movie nights and gifts of hot chocolate.

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 4 pieces and 4 cut-outs. The thin steam line and the earmuff band give it a “Print & web” label, so it is best printed. For a vinyl cut, start at about 6.5 inches tall and use a fresh blade.

Color layers

• Backing in cream: shows as the muzzle, earmuffs and mug
• Design in raspberry pink: the bear

Projects that suit the detail

• Cocoa bar signs printed for a party table.
• Sublimation mugs and tumblers.
• Hot chocolate gift tags, printed and cut with Print Then Cut.
• Movie night invitations.
• Large decals on a kitchen or playroom wall.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For a vinyl cut, 6.5 inches is the minimum; at 8 inches and up the steam and earmuff band weed comfortably on a sweatshirt.

Step by step: a sublimation mug

1. Download a PNG from the editor at 300 DPI, about 3.5 inches tall.
2. Place it on one side of an 11 oz mug template, and add “Cocoa time” on the other side.
3. Print with sublimation ink on sublimation paper.
4. Wrap the print around a sublimation mug and press it in a mug press.
5. Let it cool, then fill it with cocoa for a ready-made gift.

• Raspberry and cream, as shown
• Brown and cream for a hot chocolate palette

Good to know

For a polar bear that cuts at a smaller size, the Polar Bear with Scarf passes our checks from about 5 inches.

A cocoa gift set

Fill the printed mug with cocoa mix, mini marshmallows and a candy cane, wrap it in cellophane and add a tag printed with the same bear. It makes an easy, inexpensive gift for teachers, neighbors and coworkers, and the design ties the whole set together.

Pairs well with

The Kawaii Hot Cocoa is a smiling mug of its own, and the Penguin with Earmuffs is enjoying the same drink.
