Snowman Ornament SVG

About this design

Two Christmas favorites in one shape. The outline is a classic round bauble with a cap and a ring for hanging, and a small snowman is cut out of the middle: a top hat, a round head, twig arms and a big round body. In one color, the snowman appears as a window through the ornament; in the color file, it shows in navy against the pale bauble.

Because everything is one connected piece, it is one of the simplest designs in the collection to cut, weed and place.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file is a single piece with 2 cut-outs: the snowman and the hole in the ring. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall. Weed the snowman’s twig arms gently, since they are the thinnest part.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows as the snowman and inside the ring
• Design in pale ice blue: the bauble

Projects

• Ornaments in acrylic, wood or cardstock.
• Gift card holders shaped like a bauble.
• Window clings in a row along the glass.
• Gift tags at 4 inches with a ribbon through the ring.
• Stencils for painted ornaments and cards.

Step by step: a layered cardstock ornament

1. Set the design to 4 inches tall and download the color file.
2. Cut the backing from navy glitter cardstock and the bauble from white cardstock.
3. Glue the white bauble onto the navy backing so the snowman shows through.
4. Punch through the ring and thread a ribbon.
5. Write a name and year on the back.

Color ideas

• Ice blue on navy, as shown
• Red bauble with a white snowman for a classic tree
• Gold bauble on black for an elegant ornament

Variations to try

• Use the editor’s offset border to add a white edge for a printed sticker.
• Cut the bauble from mirror cardstock for a shiny ornament.

Making a set

Cut a few snowman ornaments with different backing colors, such as red, green and gold, and hang them together on the tree. Because the bauble is one solid piece, you can cut a dozen from a single sheet of cardstock in a few minutes.

Pairs well with

The Classic Round Christmas Bauble is the same shape without the snowman, and the Snowman Gift Tag uses the same cut-out idea on a tag.
