Holly Berry Cluster SVG

About this design

This design puts the berries first. A generous bunch of big, round berries sits at the center, each with a small highlight mark that makes it look shiny and full. Spiky holly leaves frame the cluster above and below, with veins that show red in the layered version. The berries are large and simple, so they read clearly even from a distance.

The design is two pieces with thirteen cut-outs for the highlights and veins. In the layered version, the highlights and veins show the red backing, while the berries themselves are green; cut them in red as a second color for the classic look. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide. The berries are large, so they cut well from felt. The veins are thinner, so for felt choose 5 inches or more.

Step by step: red berry ornament

1. Set the design to 4 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the green layer from green felt and the backing from red felt.
3. Glue the green layer onto the red backing.
4. Cut small red felt circles to cover each berry and glue them on, or use red pom-poms.
5. Add a ribbon loop at the top.

Color ideas

• Green leaves with red berries, the classic
• Green with gold berries for an elegant look
• White with red berries for a snowy feel
• Dark green with burgundy berries

Design notes

The berries are drawn big and round with a highlight on each, which gives them a glossy, three-dimensional look. That makes them the focus of the design, with the leaves acting as a frame.

Good to know

For the most traditional look, give the berries their own color. Cut the design a second time from red cardstock or vinyl, keep only the berries and layer them on top of the green ones. The highlights stay visible on the red berries.
