Top Hat Snowman SVG

About this design

The snowman as everyone pictures it: a tall top hat, a round head and a big round body, with a scarf caught by the wind and flying out to one side. The face sits in a cut-out under the hat brim, where two coal eyes and a smile made of little dots show as pale shapes against the navy. No arms, no extras, just a strong, simple silhouette that reads from across a room.

That simplicity makes it the best all-round snowman in the collection, at home on shirts, signs, mugs and cards.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 7 pieces and 1 cut-out, the face. The eyes and smile dots sit inside it as small separate pieces, so keep the whole design on one sheet of transfer tape. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches tall.

Step by step: a painted porch sign

1. Paint a 10 by 24 inch board navy and let it dry.
2. Set the design to 16 inches tall and download the solid style.
3. Cut it from stencil vinyl, weed the snowman shape open, and keep the eye and smile pieces.
4. Apply the stencil, then put the eyes and smile pieces back in place on the board.
5. Paint the snowman white, peel the stencil while the paint is wet and seal the board.

Why the classic works

A top hat, a round head and a round body are all it takes for anyone to recognize a snowman. That makes this design the most versatile in the collection: it scales from a 4-inch mug decal to a porch sign without losing its character, and it looks just as good in one color as layered.
