Santa Mustache SVG

About this design

Santa’s mustache is legendary, and this one is extra fancy. A wide, wavy mustache sits on top of a rounded beard, and the edges curl into decorative swirls on every side, like a Victorian ornament. Two small swirled curls float above, adding to the flourish.

The design is five pieces with no inner cut-outs, so it cuts quickly and is easy to weed. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Color file

The layered version uses a cream backing under a red design. Because there are no cut-outs, the layers look the same from the front unless you add the editor’s offset border for a cream outline around the red. For a classic white Santa mustache, cut the solid style in white or silver.

Size and cutting tips

For photo props, size it to about 7 to 9 inches wide so it covers the lower half of a face. On mugs, about 3 inches wide placed on the side opposite the handle, near the rim, lines up with the drinker’s mouth.

Step by step: photo booth mustache

1. Set the design to 8 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Cut it from white glitter foam sheet or thick white cardstock.
3. Cut a second copy from plain cardstock and glue it behind for strength.
4. Hot-glue a wooden dowel to the back.
5. Set out with Santa hats and glasses at the party photo station.

Color ideas

Variations to try

• Hide the two small curls in your software for a simpler mustache.
• Rotate the design slightly in the editor for a playful tilt.

Good to know

For the mug trick, apply the mustache about half an inch below the rim on the side facing away from the handle for right-handed drinkers.
