Double Digits SVG

Ten at last

The jump from nine to ten feels huge to a kid. Suddenly there are two numbers in the age, and this design celebrates exactly that. Double curves across the top in clean, spaced navy capitals. The middle is a wide slab-serif 10 in varsity red with two rings around it, white and then royal blue, so the 1 and the 0 lock together into one solid block. Underneath, Digits finishes the phrase, with a gold star on either side.

The layout is the familiar collegiate one, top arch, big number and a word below, so it looks right at home on a sweatshirt as well as a tee.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 19 pieces and 9 cut-outs. The arched word, the number, the lower word and the two stars all cut separately, so pick the design up with transfer tape, or leave iron-on on its carrier, to keep the arch and the spacing. The center of the 0 is the largest cut-out to weed. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines: deep navy, the backing behind each part
• Varsity red: crimson, the 10
• Varsity gold: warm golden yellow, the two stars
• Royal blue: vivid cobalt, the outer ring of the number
• White: clean white, the inner ring of the number
• Lettering: deep navy, the words Double and Digits

Size guide

At 3.5 inches it works as a water bottle sticker or on the front of a cap. For anything smaller, print the color file and let Print Then Cut follow the outline.

Pressing the shirt

Mirror the design for iron-on and cut each color shiny side down. Start with the navy base, then add the blue ring, the white ring, the red 10, the gold stars and finally both navy words. Follow the pressing directions on your vinyl for each layer.

The solid file in one color makes a quick and still very readable shirt, which is handy if the party is tomorrow.

Double-digit party ideas

• A sweatshirt in a heavier fabric the birthday child can wear all year
• Water bottle stickers for the guests
• A big 10 on the cake table wall, cut from foam board and kept away from the food
• A sleepover pillowcase with the design in one color

Choosing colors

Ten-year-olds usually have firm opinions about color. Let the birthday child pick the number and the outer ring, and keep the navy lettering for contrast. Our guide to changing SVG colors shows how to preview it in the editor before you cut.
