Merry Christmas Tree Typography SVG

About this design

A word cloud in the shape of a tree. The lines are stacked from shortest to widest, so the block of lettering forms a triangle: JOY at the very top, PEACE and LOVE below it with a tiny gold star between the words, Merry in a red script in the middle, then CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR in tall, condensed capitals that spread wider toward the base. A gold star tops the tree and a small square trunk in red sits underneath.

The tall capitals make the tree feel solid and green from a distance, while the red script line works like a garland across the middle.

Color layers

• Lettering in green, the base layer with the capitals
• Accents in gold for the treetop star and the little star between PEACE and LOVE
• Details in red for the word Merry and the trunk

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 38 pieces, because almost every capital is its own piece, and 13 cut-outs. It passes our cut checks from about 5.5 inches wide. Use one sheet of transfer tape for the whole tree so the letters stay lined up.

Projects

• Christmas shirts for the whole family.
• Tall narrow signs for a porch or hallway.
• Christmas card fronts.
• Tote bags and pillow covers.
• Wall decals in a child’s room.

Step by step: a porch leaner

1. Cut a 5 foot board, or use a plain tall planter sign, and paint it white.
2. Set the design to fit the board width, around 10 to 12 inches.
3. Download the color file and cut the green, red and gold layers from outdoor vinyl.
4. Apply the green capitals first, then the red Merry and trunk, then the gold star.
5. Add a second tree below with a different color scheme, or a family name in your own lettering.

About the lettering

The capitals and the script are free, open-licensed fonts converted to shapes. The arrangement into a tree, the star and the trunk were designed for this file.

Variations to try

• Cut the Details layer, Merry and the trunk, from gold glitter instead of red for a sparkling garland line.
• Cut the star from glitter vinyl so it sparkles.
