Merry Christmas Ornament Badge SVG

About this design

A Christmas ornament that carries its own greeting. The bauble is drawn as a thick round outline with a thinner ring inside it, like the painted band on a glass ornament, and topped with a gold cap and hanging loop. Inside, Merry Christmas is written on two lines in a bold italic script with smooth, connected letters. A row of dots runs above the words and another below, like a band of tiny painted beads.

It looks like a real ornament from across the room, and because it is round, it fits the editor’s circle and ornament shapes perfectly if you want to cut it from a background.

Color layers

• Backing in red: the solid ball
• Design in cream: the outline, inner ring, lettering and dots
• Accents in gold for the cap and loop

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 29 pieces, many of them the dots, and 8 cut-outs. Transfer the dot rows together with the lettering on one sheet of tape so they stay level. The design passes our cut checks from about 6 inches wide.

Projects

• Acrylic or wood ornaments, layered with vinyl.
• Gift card holders shaped like an ornament.
• Window decals that hang in a row along the glass.
• Shirts and sweaters for a classic Christmas look.
• Party invitations cut from cardstock.

Step by step: a clear acrylic ornament

1. Buy 6 inch flat acrylic ornament blanks.
2. Set the design to 6 inches tall and download the color file.
3. Cut the red backing from permanent vinyl and apply it to the back of the acrylic, so it shows through.
4. Cut the cream design and gold cap and apply them to the front.
5. Thread a ribbon through the blank’s hole and hang it on the tree.

About the lettering

The script is a free, open-licensed font, converted to shapes in the file. The bauble, rings and dots were drawn for this design.

• Cut a row of them with different backing colors, red, green and gold, for a garland of ornaments along a window.
• Use the editor’s offset border to make a printable sticker with a white edge.
