Balloon Silhouette Trio SVG

One color, one piece

Sometimes a project calls for a single clean shape, not a stack of layers. This trio is drawn as one connected silhouette in blue: a tall balloon in the middle, two slightly smaller ones on either side, and three strings curving down to meet at a little bow. A thin white gap runs around the middle balloon, so it reads as sitting in front of the other two even though everything is one color.

Each balloon has a short curved shine near its upper left, which keeps the silhouette from looking flat and gives it a little life on a mug or a shirt.

Pieces and weeding

This is 1 piece with 2 cut-outs, so there is nothing to line up and very little to weed. The bow and strings hold the whole picture together. On vinyl, transfer tape still helps keep the thin strings straight while you apply it. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches wide.

Color layer

• Blue in bright cobalt blue: the whole silhouette, balloons, strings and bow together

The color file has just this one layer. Choose any color you like in the editor; changing SVG colors takes a few seconds.

Best uses

• Mugs and tumblers in permanent vinyl, where one color looks cleanest
• Envelopes and party bags, cut small and quick
• Stencils for painting a wood sign or a fabric banner
• Shirts in a single sheet of iron-on vinyl, with no layering to press
• Glitter vinyl projects, where a single shape shows the sparkle best
• Laser-cut wood ornaments for a party table

Size guide

Under 3 inches the gaps around the middle balloon start to close. For tiny stickers, print and use Print Then Cut instead.

Using it as a stencil

Because the design is one shape, it makes a tidy stencil. Cut it from stencil vinyl, weed out the balloons, strings and bow so only the background is left on the board, and dab paint through the opening. The shine marks stay behind as little islands of vinyl; press them down firmly so they leave bare wood that looks like light on the balloons. Peel the stencil while the paint is still a little wet for the sharpest edge.

Pairs well with

Add the Heart Balloon for a layered card in the same theme, or pick the Cupcake Silhouette for another one-color design.
