Holly Ornament SVG

About this design

This ornament is decorated with a little holly star. It is a classic round bauble with a cap and a hanging loop, and in the very center, a small starburst of holly leaves is cut out, showing red in the layered version. The rest of the bauble is plain and smooth, so the holly detail stands out like a jewel.

The ornament is one connected piece with twelve cut-outs, most of them in the holly detail. Because the bauble is a big simple shape, it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The holly detail is small, so for felt choose 5 inches or more. For ornaments, 3.5 to 4 inches.

Step by step: personalized ornament

1. Set the ornament to 4 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the green layer from green cardstock and the backing from red.
3. Glue the green layer onto the red backing.
4. Write a name below the holly detail with a gold paint pen.
5. Thread a ribbon through the loop to hang it.

Color ideas

• Green with red, the classic
• Red with green for a reversed look
• Gold with red for an elegant ornament
• White with silver for a winter tree

Design notes

The holly sits right in the center, with plenty of plain space around it. That leaves room for a name, a year or a short word above or below the detail.

Good to know

You can swap the backing color to match your tree. Gold looks elegant, silver is wintry, and red is traditional. On a clear acrylic ornament, you can skip the backing and let the light shine through the holly.

Making a set

Cut several ornaments in different colors, such as green, red, gold and white, and hang them together on a small tree or a garland. Write a family member’s name on each one, and the set becomes a personal decoration you can bring out year after year.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
• Add a name across the bauble in your software.
