Snowman with Snowflakes SVG

About this design

The pure joy of the first snowfall. A plump snowman lifts both rounded arms toward the sky, eyes closed in a happy smile, while a big six-arm snowflake drifts down beside it and a smaller one falls on the other side. It wears a small bobble cap, and its soft, rounded body has no sharp edges at all.

With so few details, this is one of the friendliest designs in the collection for beginners, kids’ crafts and bold one-color projects.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 3 pieces, the snowman and the two snowflakes, and just 1 cut-out. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide; the small snowflake is the finest part, so keep it on the transfer tape with the rest.

Color layers

• Backing in navy: shows in the closed eye
• Design in pale ice blue: the snowman and snowflakes

Projects

• Kids’ crafts: cut the snowman from white cardstock and add cotton-ball snow.
• Window clings in white static-cling vinyl.
• Winter birthday cards.
• Sweatshirts for a snow day.
• Felt wall hangings for a classroom.

Step by step: a classroom window display

1. Set the design to 12 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Cut one copy per child from white cardstock.
3. Let each child decorate their snowman with buttons, a scarf and a face.
4. Tape them along the window, with the snowflakes facing up as if the snow is falling.
5. Add extra snowflakes cut from the same file between the snowmen.

Color ideas

• White on navy for a snowy night
• Ice blue on navy, as shown

Variations to try

• Cut the snowflakes in silver glitter for sparkle.
• Mirror the design in the editor so a pair of snowmen face each other.

Snow day traditions

Turn it into a snow day kit: the snowman on a mug for cocoa, on a tote for the sledding gear and on a card inviting friends over. Because it has so few cut-outs, it is also a lovely first project for older children learning to use a cutting machine.

Pairs well with

The Twelve-Point Snowflake adds more snow around it, and the Warm Winter Wishes lettering completes a winter card.
