Snowman with Mittens SVG

About this design

This snowman cannot contain its excitement about the first snow. Both arms are up, with oversized mittens on the ends of its twig arms, and it wears a bobble hat with a pom-pom and a fringed scarf wrapped around its neck. Its face is all smiles, with a carrot nose and round eyes, and two buttons run down its front.

The body is drawn as a cut-out inside a pale outline, so the snowman appears navy with light mittens, hat and scarf, like a two-tone illustration. Children love it on snow day pajamas, where the waving mittens match their own.

Pieces and cutting

The solid file has 7 pieces and 12 cut-outs. The fine outline and the scarf fringe give it a “Print & web” label, so it is best printed. For cutting, start at about 6 inches tall, use smooth vinyl and a fresh blade, and avoid felt and glitter.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows as the snowman’s body and face details
• Design in pale ice blue: the outline, mittens, hat and scarf

Projects that suit the detail

• Printed snow day cards and classroom notes.
• Sublimation mugs, puzzles and pillows.
• Print Then Cut stickers for planners.
• Large wall decals in a child’s room.
• Screen-printed sweatshirts for a winter break.

Size and cutting tips

For printing, any size works. For vinyl, 6 inches is the minimum; at 8 to 10 inches it suits a sweatshirt and every line weeds easily. Keep the design on one sheet of transfer tape so the mittens stay in place.

Step by step: a printed puzzle for kids

1. Download a PNG from the editor at 300 DPI, about 7 inches tall.
2. Place it on an 8 by 10 inch puzzle template in your design software.
3. Add a snowy blue background and the child’s name.
4. Print with sublimation ink and press onto a sublimation puzzle blank.
5. Let it cool before breaking the pieces apart.
