Ugly Sweater Ornament SVG

About this design

A sweater inside a bauble: that’s the whole joke, and it works on almost anything round. The outer shape is a gold ornament drawn as a ring, topped with a little cap and a hanging loop. Inside, a small red crew-neck sweater sits in the middle with a cream zigzag row near the collar, a matching row near the hem and a single cream snowflake on the chest.

Since the frame is round, the design drops neatly onto coasters, tumbler lids, round wood slices and the face of a flat ornament blank.

Pieces and cut-outs

The solid file comes out at 23 pieces and 11 cut-outs. The gold ring, the cap and the loop are their own pieces, with a thin cut line between the cap and the top of the ball. The sweater is built the usual way: body, two sleeves, two cuffs, a hem and a collar, all separated by fine cut lines, plus the zigzag rows and the snowflake. The cut-outs are the neck opening, the hanging loop’s center and the rib slots in the cuffs and hem.

The sweater floats inside the ring rather than touching it, so lift the whole design with one piece of transfer tape to keep it centered. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark green-black: everything cut as one base layer, showing as the thin lines between parts
• Sweater in bright Christmas red: body and sleeves
• Ribbing and trim in pine green: cuffs, hem and collar
• Knit pattern in cream: the two zigzag rows
• Motif in cream: the snowflake on the chest
• Accents in golden yellow: the bauble ring, cap and loop

Gift ideas

• Ornament for a sweater-party host: cut it from permanent vinyl and press it on a clear flat disc.
• Coaster set: one per guest, each in a different sweater color.
• Name ornaments: add a name under the ring in your own font in the editor (the file itself has no name space).
• Gift card holder: Print Then Cut the color file and glue it to the front of a small envelope.
• Wine bag tag in heat-transfer vinyl on a felt bag.

Making a flat acrylic ornament

1. Set the width to the blank’s diameter minus about a quarter inch.
2. Cut the base layer from black or dark green permanent vinyl and lay it first.
3. Add the red, then the green trim, then the cream rows and snowflake.
4. Finish with the gold ring and cap, lining them up with the base outline.
5. Thread ribbon through the blank’s own hole; the drawn loop is decorative.
