Believe Script SVG

About this design

“Believe” carries a lot of meaning at Christmas, from believing in Santa to the spirit of the season. This design writes it in rounded, connected script, with a gold star near the top right and a gentle swash flowing under the word.

The letters overlap and are welded, so the whole word is one solid piece. With the star and the swash, the design has four pieces and four small letter holes. A single welded word is the easiest kind of script to weed and to transfer.

Color layers

• Lettering in green as the base

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide. The thinnest parts are the connecting strokes between letters and the tapered ends of the swash. On an ornament, 4 inches wide fits a standard 3.5-inch ball if you wrap it slightly around the curve.

Step by step: Christmas Eve box

1. Choose a wooden or cardboard box about 12 inches wide.
2. Set the design to 9 inches wide and download the color SVG.
3. Cut the lettering from green glitter vinyl and the star and swash from gold.
4. Apply the word to the lid, centered, then the gold pieces.
5. Fill the box with pajamas, cocoa and a book for Christmas Eve.

Font note

The rounded script comes from a free, open-licensed font. It is converted to shapes in the SVG, so you can use it anywhere without installing anything.

Color ideas

• Red lettering with a gold star on white
• Gold lettering with a silver star on navy
• White lettering on a dark wood ornament

Variations to try

• Remove the swash in your software for a cleaner look.
• Add a circle background in the editor and cut the word out of it.

Good to know

Script words look best when the baseline is level. If you apply Believe to a curved surface such as a ball ornament, start in the middle of the word and smooth outward, letting the swash follow the curve last so it does not pucker or wrinkle at the ends.

Pairs well with

The Joy with Star and Noel with Star make a set, and the Merry Christmas with Swash shares the swash style.
