About this design

Some snowmen stand still; this one says hello. It is built from just two snowballs, with a large round head that leaves plenty of room for a big smile, and one stick arm swung up high with its twig fingers spread in a wave. The other arm reaches out to the side, as if it is about to give a hug.

A knitted scarf wraps the neck, and its hanging end has three stripes and a fringe. Two coal buttons sit on the round body. There is no hat, which keeps the head a perfect circle and gives the design a cheerful, open face.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 5 pieces and 9 cut-outs: the eyes, nose and smile, the three scarf stripes and the two buttons. The scarf wrap and its hanging end are separate pieces, outlined by thin cut lines. With so few small parts it weeds quickly, and it passes our cut checks from about 2 inches wide, one of the smallest sizes in the snowman collection.

2. Set the design to 10 inches wide and download the solid file.
3. Cut it from white adhesive vinyl and weed the face, stripes and buttons.
4. Apply the snowman to the board, leaving room at the bottom.
5. Add “Hello, winter” underneath in a font you like and seal the sign with a clear spray.

Why there is no hat

Leaving the hat off keeps the head a full circle, which makes the face larger and friendlier at small sizes. It also leaves the top of the design clear for a word or a name arching over the snowman. If you prefer a hat, the Snowman with Beanie and the Classic Snowman cover both styles.
