Rolling Pin and Cookie SVG

About this design

This gingerbread man is right at home in the kitchen. He stands with his arms stretched straight out along a wooden rolling pin, with the round handles poking out past his hands on either side. He has dot eyes, a small smile and squiggles of icing on his legs and arm, and he looks perfectly happy about being on baking duty.

The design is three pieces: the gingerbread man with the rolling pin, plus two small icing details. Six cut-outs form his face and icing. The shapes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches wide, which makes it great for small tags and stickers.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which forms the face and icing
• Design in gingerbread brown

Kitchen projects

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches wide. Because the rolling pin makes the design wide, check the width before cutting: on a mug, 3.5 to 4 inches wide wraps nicely, and on a tea towel, 6 to 8 inches across fits above the hem.

Step by step: cookie mix jar tag

1. Set the design to 2.5 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the brown layer from kraft cardstock and the backing from white.
3. Glue them together and punch a hole at one end of the rolling pin.
4. Write the baking directions on the back.
5. Tie it around the neck of a jar of layered cookie mix with twine.

Color ideas

• Brown with cream icing, the classic
• Brown man with a lighter tan rolling pin, cut as a third layer
• Red with white for a kitchen accent
• White on a dark apron for a single-color print

Good to know

The rolling pin is part of the same shape as the arms, so the design cuts as one main piece with only two little icing details to place. If you want a wooden look, cut the design from real wood veneer sheets on a machine that handles them, or paint a wood cut-out in two shades of brown.

Variations to try

• Add the words “Let’s get rolling” underneath in your own font.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
