Moon in a Santa Hat SVG

About this design

On Christmas Eve, even the moon gets in the spirit. This design shows a crescent moon curving around like a smile, wearing a Santa hat at the top. The hat has a cream fur brim and a round pom-pom at the tip. It is soft, sleepy and dreamy, perfect for anything to do with bedtime.

The moon and hat are one connected piece with three cut-outs in the brim and pom-pom. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, forming the brim and pom-pom
• Design in red, the moon and hat

For a more natural moon, make the design layer gold or silver in the editor and keep the cream backing for the brim.

Bedtime and nursery ideas

• Christmas Eve pajamas for kids.
• Nursery wall decal in gold for a December baby.
• Night light shade with a frosted vinyl decal.
• Sleep mask for a cozy gift.
• Bedtime story book bag.
• Pillowcases with iron-on vinyl.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. The crescent tips are the thinnest parts; on felt, cut it at 6 inches or more. For a night light, frosted or white vinyl lets the light glow through the moon shape.

Step by step: Christmas Eve pajamas

1. Set the design to 6 inches tall for a child’s top.
2. Download the color SVG and change the design color to gold in the editor first.
3. Mirror and cut the moon from gold glitter iron-on and the brim from white iron-on.
4. Press the white brim layer, peel, then press the gold moon over it.
5. Add “Christmas Eve” and the child’s name underneath in a soft script.

Color ideas

• Gold moon with a red hat and white brim
• Silver moon with a navy hat for a calm night palette
• Pale yellow moon with a pink hat for a sweet nursery

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor so the moon faces the other way.
• Add a few stars around it in your software for a night-sky scene.

Good to know

To color the hat and the moon differently, cut the design twice: once in the moon color and once in red, then trim the red copy to just the hat in your software and layer it on top.

Pairs well with

The Tis the Season to Nap saying fits the bedtime theme, and the Reindeer Over the Moon is another moon design.
