Skating Snowman SVG

About this design

A snowman on the ice, arms flung wide to keep its balance as it glides along on a pair of skates. It wears earmuffs and a scarf, and its mittens wave at the end of its outstretched arms. The pose has the lovely wobble of someone who has only just learned to skate, which gives the design a lot of personality.

Like the other two-tone snowmen, the body is a cut-out inside a pale outline, so the snowman shows in navy with light accessories and skate blades.

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 6 pieces and 28 cut-outs, including the details in the skates and scarf. That fine detail gives it a “Print & web” label, so it is best printed. For a vinyl cut, start at about 6.5 inches tall and avoid felt and glitter.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows as the snowman’s body, face and skate details
• Design in pale ice blue: the outline, earmuffs, scarf, mittens and blades

Projects that suit the detail

• Skating party invitations and thank-you cards.
• Ice rink team shirts, sublimated or screen printed.
• Print Then Cut stickers for skate bags.
• Wall art for a skater’s bedroom.
• Large window decals in a shop or school.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For vinyl, 6.5 inches is the minimum; at 8 inches and up the skate blades and scarf weed comfortably.

Step by step: a skate bag sticker

1. In the editor, add a white offset border for a die-cut edge.
2. Download a PNG at 300 DPI, about 3 inches tall.
3. Print on waterproof sticker vinyl and cut with Print Then Cut.
4. Apply a clear laminate sheet over the top for protection.
5. Stick it on a skate bag, water bottle or helmet.

Color ideas

• Navy and ice blue, as shown
• Red with white accessories for a holiday skating party
• Purple and silver for a figure-skating look

Good to know

For a skater that cuts cleanly at a smaller size, the Snowman with Little Bird and the Top Hat Snowman are bold, simple alternatives.

Lettering ideas

Short phrases fit well in the open space beside its outstretched arms: “Let’s go skating”, “Skate party” or the name of your local rink. Set them in a simple script in your own software and cut them as a separate layer, so the snowman’s fine details stay untouched.
