Holly in a Jar SVG

About this design

This mason jar is filled with holly. A tall jar with a banded rim and soft, rounded shoulders stands upright, and from its top, sprigs of spiky holly leaves spill out in every direction, like a simple centerpiece on a farmhouse table. Thin lines trace the edges of the jar and the bands on the rim, showing red in the layered version.

The design is two pieces with seventeen cut-outs. The jar is a big, bold shape, so it passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches tall. The jar outlines are thin, so use a fresh blade on cardstock. For felt, choose 7 inches or more.

Design notes

The holly spills out at different angles, so the jar looks casually filled rather than arranged. That relaxed look suits farmhouse and rustic styles especially well.

Good to know

For a vintage blue jar, cut the jar from pale blue cardstock and the holly from green, then layer them. Cut the design twice and keep only the part you need from each copy.

Making a set

Cut three jars at slightly different heights and line them up on a sign or card, each filled with holly. A trio looks like a windowsill display and fills a long shelf sign nicely.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the arrangement.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
