Birthday Llama SVG

What you get

A fluffy llama is a gentle choice for a child’s birthday, and this one is about as soft as a cut file gets. Its cream wool is drawn as a row of round puffs along the back and belly, with a puffy neck rising to a sweet face. A coral pompom topknot sits between its ears, the muzzle is pale peach with a small nose and smile, and a lilac blanket with a coral heart drapes over its middle.

A mint balloon floats behind on a thin string tied near the tail. Two of the legs are peach and two are cream, which gives the standing pose a little depth without any shading.

Pieces and weeding

This design cuts as 16 pieces with 6 cut-outs. The balloon, blanket, heart, topknot and legs are all their own shapes, so you will need transfer tape to place vinyl, or a backing card to glue paper onto. The wool edge has lots of gentle curves; a slow cut speed keeps them smooth. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in cocoa brown: the backing outline and the balloon string
• Mint in soft mint green: the balloon
• Peach in pale peach: the inner ears, the muzzle and two of the legs
• Lilac in soft lavender: the saddle blanket
• Cream in warm cream: the woolly body, neck, head, ears and the other two legs
• Coral in coral pink: the heart on the blanket and the pompom topknot

Size guide

Under 4 inches the thinnest parts, such as the balloon string, get too narrow to cut cleanly. For small favor stickers or cupcake wrappers, print the full color art and cut only the outline with Print Then Cut.

Ideas for a llama party

• A shirt for the birthday child with the llama in iron-on vinyl.
• Layered paper invitations, which look sweet with real felt pompoms added at the topknot.
• A welcome sign with the llama beside the child’s name.
• Party favor boxes with a single-color llama on the lid.
• A birthday card to tuck into a present.

Building it in paper

Start with the brown backing, then add the peach legs at the back before the cream wool body. The lilac blanket and its heart go on next, and the face and topknot last. Cut the cream from a slightly heavier card so the many curves of the wool do not tear while you peel it off the mat.

Other color ideas

Use pale gray wool with a sky blanket, or keep the cream and switch the balloon and heart to the party’s main color. Our guide to changing SVG colors walks through it.
