Snowman in a Santa Hat SVG

About this design

Every snowman wants to help Santa. This one wears a floppy Santa hat with a thick fluffy brim and a pom-pom that falls to the side. Its face sits in the cut-out under the brim, with two round eyes and a little smile, and both twig arms are raised as if it is cheering. Two round buttons run down the body, and a soft drift of snow at its feet gives it something to stand on.

The simple, bold shapes make it one of the easiest snowmen to cut and weed, and it works in one color as well as two.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 4 pieces and 4 cut-outs: the face area and the two buttons are the main openings. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide, and the twig arms are sturdy enough for smooth iron-on vinyl at that size.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows in the face and the two buttons
• Design in pale ice blue: the snowman, hat and snow

Projects

• Kids’ Christmas shirts and pajama tops.
• Advent calendar pockets with a small iron-on.

Step by step: a kids’ pajama top

1. Set the design to 6 inches wide for a child’s top.
2. Download the solid style and mirror it in the editor.
3. Cut it from white iron-on vinyl and weed the face and buttons.
4. Press it centered on a red or green pajama top, about 2 inches below the collar.
5. Turn the top inside out for washing.

Color ideas

• White on red for a Santa’s helper shirt
• Ice blue on navy, as shown
• White with a red hat as a two-color layer

Pairing it with lettering

The space below the snowy base suits a word or two. “Santa’s Helper”, “Let it snow” or a child’s name in a rounded script sits nicely underneath. Keep the lettering slightly narrower than the snowman so the design stays balanced on a shirt.

Pairs well with

The Classic Santa Hat matches the hat on its own, and the Penguin in a Santa Hat makes a fun pair.
