Holly Gift Tag SVG

About this design

This gift tag comes ready decorated. It has a soft, rounded shape that narrows toward the top, with a round string hole near the top and a small holly sprig with leaves and berries tucked against one corner. The rest of the tag is plain and roomy, with lots of space for a name, a “To and From” or a short message.

The tag is one connected piece with three cut-outs: the string hole and two small holly details. It is bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For gift tags, 3 to 4 inches gives plenty of writing space. Kraft and white cardstock are easiest to write on.

Step by step: a stack of gift tags

1. Set the tag to 3.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut a dozen from kraft, white or green cardstock.
3. Write “To” and “From” on each tag.
4. Thread baker’s twine through the string hole.
5. Tie them to wrapped gifts.

Color ideas

• Green with red details, the classic
• Kraft paper with a green and red sprig added
• White with a green sprig
• Red with a gold sprig

Design notes

The holly sits at the top corner, beside the string hole, so it decorates the tag without taking space from your writing. The tag’s rounded base gives it a soft, friendly shape.

Good to know

For printed tags, download the PNG, add names in your design software and print a sheet of them, then cut around the outline with Print Then Cut. It is a fast way to label a pile of gifts.

Paper choices

Thick cardstock, around 80 to 110 lb, makes the sturdiest tags and takes ink without bleeding. Kraft paper gives a rustic look that suits brown paper wrapping, while white or cream tags look crisp on red and green paper. Avoid glitter cardstock if you plan to write on the tag.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to move the holly to the other corner.
• Add “To” and “From” lines in your software before cutting.
