Holly and Pine Branch SVG

About this design

This design gathers the greenery of the season. A pine branch with long, fine needles fans out in several directions, and tucked into it are holly leaves and a cluster of round berries. Red details show between the needles and leaves in the layered version, giving the branch warmth and depth. It looks like a cutting from the woods, ready for a mantel or a table.

The branch is one connected piece with twenty-two cut-outs. The fine pine needles are what make it look natural, and they are also why the design carries a “Print & web” label on its page. It is best printed, or cut from about 7.5 inches wide and larger.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For cutting, start at about 7.5 inches wide; the needles are very fine, so use a fresh blade and smooth vinyl. Avoid felt and glitter materials.

Step by step: botanical print

1. Download the PNG from the editor at 300 DPI and 8 inches wide.
2. Place it on an 8 by 10 inch canvas in your design software.
3. Add a small label such as “Winter Greens” in a serif font below it.
4. Print on heavyweight matte paper.
5. Frame it and hang it in a cabin or kitchen.

Color ideas

• Green with red, the classic
• Dark green on cream for a vintage botanical
• Gold on navy for an elegant print
• Black on kraft for a rustic look

Good to know

If you need a holly design that cuts cleanly at small sizes, the Holly and Pine Cone has a similar woodland feel and passes our checks from about 3.5 inches. This pine branch is the one to choose for printing and large cuts.

Design notes

The pine needles radiate out from the stem in long, fine strokes, which contrasts nicely with the broad, spiky holly leaves. That mix of textures gives the branch its natural, gathered look.

Variations to try

• Recolor the pine needles a darker green in your printing software.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a Print Then Cut sticker.
