Reindeer with Snowflake SVG

About this design

This reindeer wears a snowflake. The head is a bold, simple shape with wide ears and a long, slightly angled muzzle, and above it, big rounded antlers branch out in thick, smooth tines. In the middle of the face sits a small six-armed snowflake that shows gold in the layered version, like a winter marking or a frosty kiss.

The design is one connected piece with a single cut-out: the snowflake. The antlers are thick and smooth, so it passes our cut checks from just 3 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The snowflake is the most detailed part, so for felt or glitter cardstock choose 5 inches or more. For a shirt, 8 to 10 inches tall.

Step by step: frosty sweatshirt

1. Set the design to 9 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the brown layer from brown iron-on vinyl.
3. Cut the backing from white or silver glitter vinyl instead of gold, for an icy snowflake.
4. Press the backing first, then the brown layer on top.
5. Press from the inside of the sweatshirt to finish.

Color ideas

• Brown with a gold snowflake, the classic
• Brown with a white or silver snowflake for a frosty look
• White with a blue snowflake on a navy shirt
• Black with a gold snowflake for an elegant tumbler

Good to know

The snowflake is the only cut-out, so the backing color you choose changes the whole design. A silver or white backing makes it wintry, gold makes it festive and red makes it cheerful. All three use the same two cut files.

Design notes

The antlers on this reindeer are thicker and rounder than on most designs in the collection, which gives it a friendly, modern look. They also make it one of the sturdiest reindeer to cut from felt, cork and faux leather, where thin tines would tear.

Variations to try

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

Pairs well with

The Snowflake SVG collection has the snowflake on its own, and the Reindeer Head with Antlers is another front-facing reindeer.
