Reindeer with Garland SVG

About this design

This reindeer is wearing the season’s finest. The head faces forward, with tall branching antlers and soft ears, and around its neck hangs a lush garland of leaves and greenery that spreads out on both sides. Some of the leaves show gold in the layered version, like gilded foliage in a holiday arrangement. Below the garland, the neck narrows to a point, giving the design a crest-like shape.

The design is nine pieces with four cut-outs. The many small leaves of the garland are what make it so rich, and they are also why it carries a “Print & web” label on its page. It is best printed, or cut from about 5.5 inches tall and larger.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For cutting, start at about 5.5 inches tall; the garland leaves are small and separate, so use a fresh blade and weed slowly, keeping every leaf on the transfer tape. Avoid felt and glitter materials.

Step by step: printed pillow

1. Download the PNG from the editor at 300 DPI and 12 inches tall.
2. Recolor the garland green in your printing software if you like.
3. Print it on sublimation paper.
4. Press it onto a white polyester pillow cover following your paper and blank instructions.
5. Insert a pillow form and place it on a holiday sofa.

Good to know

If you want a reindeer head that cuts cleanly at small sizes, the Antlers with Holly or the Reindeer Head with Antlers pass our checks from about 4 inches. This garland design is the one to choose for printed and large projects. When printing, you can recolor the garland in your software to green and keep the reindeer brown, which turns it into a warm, traditional holiday image with no extra cutting at all.

Variations to try

• Recolor the garland in your printing software to match your decor.
• Add the editor’s offset border for a Print Then Cut sticker.
