Snowman Family SVG

About this design

A family portrait in snow. The tallest snowman stands on the left in a top hat and scarf with one arm out, the middle one wears a knitted beanie with a pom-pom, and the smallest, in fluffy earmuffs, waves a stick arm on the right. All three stand shoulder to shoulder on one long snowbank, which joins them into a single wide design.

Read it as parents and a child, grandparents and a grandchild, or three siblings: the three sizes leave room for any family story you want to tell.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 12 pieces and 18 cut-outs. The cut-outs are the eyes and buttons on all three snowmen, the carrot nose on the tallest, smiles on the two smaller ones, the hat band and the seams between the snowballs. The hats, scarf and earmuffs are outlined by thin cut lines and come away as separate pieces, so weed slowly and lift the whole family with one sheet of transfer tape. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Step by step: a family name sign

1. Set the design to 14 inches wide and download the solid file.
2. Cut it from white vinyl and weed the faces, buttons and seams.
3. Apply it to a painted board, leaving about 3 inches below the snowbank.
4. Add your family name under the snowbank in a matching font.
5. Fix a sawtooth hanger to the back and hang it by the door.

Bigger families

For a family of six, place two copies side by side in your design software and weld the two snowbanks into one. For a gift from one child, the little snowman in earmuffs can stand alone: slice it away from the other two in your software and keep a short piece of the snowbank under its feet, checking the result before you cut.
