Antlers with Holly SVG

About this design

This design keeps just the antlers and adds a sprig of Christmas. Two tall reindeer antlers stand apart, each branching into several curving tines, and between their bases sits a small holly sprig with two pointed leaves and a cluster of three round berries. The leaves have fine veins that show the gold backing, giving the sprig a little sparkle.

The design is three pieces: the two antlers and the holly sprig. Two cut-outs form the leaf veins. With no face or head, it is a clean, modern design that suits monograms and minimal decor, and it passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide. The leaf veins are fine, so for felt or glitter cardstock, cut at 6 inches or more. For a shirt, 9 to 10 inches wide.

Step by step: three-color layered sign

1. Set the design to 10 inches wide and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the antlers from brown adhesive vinyl and the gold backing from gold vinyl.
3. Cut a second copy of the design from green vinyl and keep only the holly sprig, then cut three small red circles for the berries.
4. Apply the gold backing to a white board, then the brown antlers, then the green holly and red berries on top.
5. Add a family name underneath in a script font.

Color ideas

• Brown antlers with green holly and red berries
• All gold for an elegant, single-color look
• White antlers with red berries on a dark board
• Black antlers with gold holly for a modern sign

Good to know

Because the antlers are separate from the holly, you can adjust the spacing after ungrouping in your cutting software. Move the antlers farther apart to frame a wide name, or closer together around a single initial. The holly can also be resized on its own.

Variations to try

• Delete the holly after ungrouping for plain antlers.
• Use the editor’s offset border to join the pieces into one die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Reindeer Antlers design includes the head, and the Antlers with Ornaments hangs baubles from the tines.
