Snowman Face SVG

About this design

Sometimes the face is all you need. This design shows just the snowman’s head and hat, which makes it a natural fit for round items, mugs and the chest of a small shirt. A wide top hat sits at an angle, with holly leaves and berries cut into its crown. Below it are two round coal eyes, a long carrot nose pointing to the side and a smile made of five round dots. A scarf curves under the chin, with a fringed end trailing off to the left.

Because the features are separate shapes, the face looks like a real snowman built from coal and a carrot, and it reads well even at a small size.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 13 separate pieces, including each eye, the nose and every dot of the smile, and no cut-outs inside them. Lift the whole design with one sheet of transfer tape so the dots keep their spacing. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide, which makes it one of the smallest snowmen you can cut.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows only where you add a background, since the pieces have no inner cut-outs
• Design in pale ice blue: the hat, face features and scarf

For a two-color look, use the editor’s background shapes to place the face on a navy circle, or cut the eyes and smile in black and the nose in orange.

Projects

• Mugs and tumblers in permanent vinyl.
• Gift tags cut from cardstock at 2.5 to 3 inches.

• Kids’ winter hats with a small iron-on on the cuff.
• Snow day treat bags.

Step by step: a white bauble ornament

1. Set the design to 2.5 inches wide for a standard 3-inch bauble.
2. Cut the hat, eyes and smile from black permanent vinyl and the nose from orange, all from the solid style.
3. Clean the bauble with rubbing alcohol.
4. Apply the hat and scarf first, then the eyes, nose and smile in place.
5. Add a ribbon and a name on the back with a paint pen.
