Baby Reindeer Sitting SVG

About this design

This little reindeer is still learning to fly. The fawn sits on its haunches with its front legs straight, looking out with a big round eye and a little smile. It has short antler nubs, wide ears lined in gold, and curved gold spots on its side, like the markings of a young deer. The cartoon style is soft and friendly, perfect for children’s projects.

The design is five pieces with five cut-outs. In the layered version, the gold backing shows in the ears, the eye and the spots, giving the brown fawn a warm, cheerful glow. 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 small pieces are the details inside the eye and spots, so keep them on the transfer tape. For a onesie, 4 to 5 inches tall. For a nursery sign, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: baby’s first Christmas onesie

1. Set the design to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the brown layer from brown iron-on vinyl and the backing from gold.
3. Press the gold backing on the front of a white onesie.
4. Line up the brown layer and press it on top.
5. Add “Baby’s First Christmas” above in a soft script font.

Color ideas

• Brown with gold, the classic
• Tan with pale pink for a soft nursery look
• Brown with pale blue for a winter baby
• White with gold glitter for a keepsake ornament

Good to know

On a white or cream onesie, you can skip the backing and cut only the brown layer. The fabric shows through as the ears, eye and spots, which keeps the design soft and light for a baby. Choose a thin, stretchy iron-on vinyl for comfort.

• Mirror it in the editor to face the other way.
