Snowman Row Border SVG

About this design

A tidy parade of five little snowmen. They stand evenly spaced along a thick snowbank, each made of two snowballs with two coal eyes and a single coal button, and their hats alternate between top hats and bobble beanies. The snowbank has a scalloped lower edge, like a row of soft drifts, and four round dots spaced along it like falling snow.

The design is wide and short, which makes it a ready-made border for shelves, mantels, cards and the bottom of a sign.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 10 pieces and 22 cut-outs: the ten eyes, five buttons, the bands on the three top hats and the four dots on the bank. The snowmen and the bank cut as one long piece, and the hats come away separately, outlined by thin cut lines. The eyes are small, so weed with a fine hook. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Step by step: a classroom bulletin board trim

1. Set the design to 12 inches wide and download the solid file.
2. Cut as many copies as the board needs from white cardstock.
3. Weed the eyes, buttons, hat bands and dots.
4. Line the copies up along the bottom of the board so the snowbanks touch.
5. Write each pupil’s name on a snowman, five names per strip.

Repeating it

Because both ends of the snowbank are rounded and the snowmen are evenly spaced, copies sit neatly end to end. For a long run, cut several strips and butt them together, leaving a small gap between strips so each one stays its own clean piece.

Pairs well with

The Snowman Border has four different snowmen in a row, and the Holly Garland Border makes a matching Christmas edge.
