Diagonal Holly Sprig SVG

About this design

This sprig runs on a slant. Three broad, spiky holly leaves are arranged along a diagonal line, overlapping slightly, and a cluster of round berries sits at the top corner. Each leaf has a thin central vein that shows red in the layered version. The diagonal shape gives the design energy and makes it easy to tuck into a corner.

The sprig is one connected piece with four cut-outs. The leaves are big and bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Design notes

The diagonal arrangement leads the eye from the corner toward the center, which makes it a natural frame for text. Mirror a second copy for the opposite corner to frame a full page.

Good to know

Red berries make this sprig pop. Cut the design a second time from red cardstock or vinyl, keep only the berries and layer them over the green for the classic red-and-green holly look. On felt, red pom-poms glued over the berries do the same job with a soft, cozy finish.

Choosing a size

At 2.5 to 3 inches, it fits card and tag corners. At 4 to 6 inches, it suits mugs and ornaments. At 8 inches and up, it works on towels, shirts and signs.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor for the opposite corner.
• Rotate it in your software for a different angle.
