Reindeer Antlers SVG

About this design

Sometimes the antlers say it all. This design is a simple front-facing reindeer head with ears, crowned by a pair of tall, wide antlers that branch out in many tines. The head is narrow and plain, so the antlers become the star, spreading wide like a crown. It is a clean, modern silhouette that works for both cute and rustic projects.

The design is one connected piece with no cut-outs. The antlers are thick enough to cut cleanly, so it passes our cut checks from just 2.5 inches tall, small enough for earrings and tags.

Color layers

• Backing in gold, the same outline, hidden underneath
• Design in reindeer brown

With no cut-outs, this design is usually cut in a single color. The solid style works in any vinyl, felt or wood.

Projects

• Family shirts with each person’s initial under the head.
• Monogram mugs with an initial between the antlers.
• Earrings cut from faux leather.
• Wood wall hangings in a cabin style.
• Stencils for pillows and signs.
• Car decals.
• Gift tags.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2.5 inches tall. For earrings, 2 to 2.5 inches in faux leather or wood. For a mug, 3.5 inches. For a shirt, 9 to 10 inches. It also cuts well from thick materials such as felt, cork and chipboard.

Step by step: monogram mug

1. Set the design to 3.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Type an initial in a bold serif font and size it to sit just below the head.
3. Cut both from permanent vinyl in brown, gold or white.
4. Apply the head and antlers first, then the initial underneath.
5. Let it cure for 48 hours, then hand wash only.

Color ideas

• Brown, the classic
• Gold glitter for a sparkly look
• White on a dark mug
• Buffalo plaid patterned vinyl for a cabin feel

Good to know

Because this design is one solid shape, it is ideal for laser cutting and for stencils. In wood, it makes a lovely faux taxidermy wall hanging; in stencil vinyl, it paints cleanly onto pillows and signs with no tiny islands to lose.

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s “cut the design out of the shape” option with a circle for a round tag.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
