Snowman Snow Globe SVG

About this design

Give it a shake and the snow starts to fall. This snow globe has a thick round rim of glass on a wide stand, and inside it a little snowman in a top hat stands on a mound of snow with his stick arms out. Eight round snowflakes drift around him.

The glass itself is a large cut-out, so in the color file the inside of the globe shows the backing color like a night sky, with the snowman and the snowflakes standing out against it. The stand has a groove across it for a little extra detail.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 12 pieces and 9 cut-outs. The largest cut-out is the glass; the snowman and the eight snowflakes sit inside it as separate pieces, so weed the glass area carefully around them and lift everything with one sheet of transfer tape. The snowman is outlined against the snowy mound by a thin cut line. The stand sits just behind the bottom of the globe, separated by a curved cut line. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall.

A classic winter keepsake

Snow globes are a favorite Christmas keepsake, and this design captures one in a single flat shape. Cut it from wood on a laser with the snowman engraved, or layer it in two colors of cardstock, and it makes a lovely gift tag or a place card at a winter dinner.
