Eight Is Great SVG

About this design

Most age shirts stack everything in the middle. This one splits it in two. On the left stands a tall, narrow 8 in kelly green, with a white ring and then a deep navy ring around it, like a stitched number on the side of a uniform. On the right, Is sits over Great in condensed navy capitals, with a short red rule beneath and three small gold stars under that.

The side-by-side layout makes the design almost square, which fits a shirt front nicely and leaves room for the 8 to be really tall. It reads as one short, upbeat sentence: 8 is great.

Layer by layer

• Base and lines: deep navy, the backing and the outer ring around the 8
• Varsity red: crimson, the short rule under Great
• Varsity gold: warm golden yellow, the three stars
• Kelly green: bright grass green, the 8
• White: crisp white, the inner ring of the number
• Lettering: deep navy, the words Is and Great

Pieces and weeding

There are 14 pieces and 6 cut-outs in the solid file. The 8, the two words, the red rule and the stars are all separate, so use transfer tape for adhesive vinyl, or keep iron-on on its carrier, to keep the two halves lined up. The two centers of the 8 are easy to weed at any size. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide.

Sizes

Because it cuts cleanly from 2.5 inches, this design also makes good vinyl stickers for water bottles and favor bags. Anything smaller should be printed and cut with Print Then Cut.

Making the shirt

Mirror every color for iron-on and cut it with the shiny side on the mat. Press the navy base, then the white ring and the green 8, then the red rule and the gold stars, and the navy words last. The directions that came with your vinyl will give the right pressing settings for each layer.

A single-color cut from the solid file is quick and still looks sharp, with the 8 standing tall beside the words.
