Christmas 3D SVG Designs for Your Holiday Crafts

What Are Christmas 3D SVG Files?

3D SVG files are multi-layer designs that you cut from cardstock or paper and then stack together with foam tape or glue.

Instead of a flat image, you get depth, shadows and dimension – like a mini shadow box or ornament.

With the right file you can easily make:

• layered Christmas ornaments and baubles

• glowing lanterns and luminaries

• shadow boxes for your mantel or wall

• gift boxes and candy holders for treats and small presents

All the designs on this page are created for easy cutting and assembly and come with a commercial licence included (check each product page for details).

3D Ornaments & Christmas Decorations

If you want quick wins and wow-effect on your tree, start with ornaments and hanging decorations.

Use these 3D SVGs for:

• layered snowflakes and stars

• “Merry Christmas” word ornaments

• cute characters like gnomes, reindeer and elves

• flat baubles that look dimensional when assembled

These are great beginner projects if you’re new to 3D SVGs: fewer layers, smaller size, and fast cutting.

Christmas Lanterns & Paper Luminaries

Paper lanterns are one of the most magical Christmas 3D projects.

They look beautiful during the day and even better at night with an LED candle inside.

With the right 3D SVG files you can create:

• cozy lanterns with houses, stars and snow

• hanging star lanterns for windows

• character lanterns with snowmen, Santa and cute animals

Cut the layers from sturdy cardstock, add vellum for windows, and use only battery-operated LED lights for safety.

Holiday Shadow Boxes & Wall Art

Shadow boxes are perfect if you want decor you can reuse every year.

These Christmas 3D SVG files usually include:

• a layered background (trees, sky, snow)

• middle layers with houses, hills and forests

• a front frame with “Merry Christmas” or other wording

You can place them into a deep frame, add fairy lights behind and display on your mantel, shelf or wall.

Gift Boxes, Treat Boxes & Candy Holders

Not all gifts have to be big – sometimes the packaging is the most memorable part.

3D box and treat designs are ideal for:

• small gift card holders

• teapot and mug boxes for tea or coffee lovers

• candy dome designs for kids’ treats

• mini boxes for chocolates or jewellery

Use thicker cardstock, score the fold lines gently and assemble with a strong craft glue or double-sided tape.

Tips for Cutting & Assembling Christmas 3D SVG Projects

A few simple tips will make your projects look polished:

• Do a test cut on a small shape to check your pressure and blade.

• Use 65–80 lb cardstock (around 160–220 gsm) for most layers.

• Keep a sharp blade for clean, detailed cuts.

• Use foam tape or foam dots between some layers for extra depth.

• Lay out all layers in order before gluing so you don’t mix them up.

• Add tiny LED lights behind lanterns and shadow boxes for a cozy glow.
