Reindeer Head Profile SVG

About this design

This design shows a reindeer in a graceful three-quarter view. The head turns slightly to one side, with a long neck that sweeps down to a soft, curved chest. Tall antlers branch above, and one ear is lined in gold. A small eye with a gold center gives it a gentle, thoughtful look. It is more detailed than a plain silhouette, but still clean and bold.

The design is two pieces with three cut-outs. In the layered version, the gold backing shows in the ear and the eye, giving the brown head a warm highlight. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches tall. For a mug, 3.5 to 4 inches tall fits well. For felt or glitter cardstock, cut at 5 inches or more. For a pillow, 12 to 14 inches tall.

Step by step: layered framed art

1. Set the design to 8 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the brown design layer from dark brown cardstock and the backing from gold foil cardstock.
3. Glue the brown layer onto the gold backing, lining up the edges.
4. Mount it on a white or cream mat board.
5. Place it in an 11 by 14 inch frame.

Color ideas

• Brown with gold, the classic
• Black with gold foil for an elegant print
• White with silver for a frosty look
• Dark green with copper for a woodland feel

Good to know

The two pieces are the head and a small detail inside the eye, so keep that little piece in place on the transfer tape when you weed. The long neck gives the design a natural base, so it sits nicely at the bottom of a sign or frame without looking cut off. It also leaves room above the antlers for a name or a short greeting.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to turn the head the other way.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with

The Reindeer Head with Antlers is the front view, and the Geometric Reindeer Head is a modern take.
