Number Banner SVG

Numbers for any age

Ages change every year, so this banner gives you every digit. There are ten pennant flags, each with a pointed bottom, two round holes near the top for string, and a wide yellow band across the middle carrying one bold number in deep navy. The flags run 1 to 5 across the top row and 6 to 9 and 0 across the bottom.

The flag colors rotate through red, blue, green and charcoal: 1 is red, 2 blue, 3 green, 4 charcoal and 5 red, then 6 green, 7 charcoal, 8 red, 9 blue and 0 green.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 40 pieces and 36 cut-outs. Each flag is built from the flag, its yellow band and its number, which accounts for the pieces. The cut-outs include the string holes and the closed centers of the numbers. It passes our cut checks from about 4 inches wide.

Color layers

• Red in cherry red: the flags for 1, 5 and 8
• Blue in cobalt blue: the flags for 2 and 9
• Green in grass green: the flags for 3, 6 and 0
• Charcoal in near-black charcoal: the flags for 4 and 7
• Yellow in golden yellow: all ten bands
• Lettering in deep navy blue: the ten numbers

Spelling out an age

Each digit appears once, so for an age with a repeated digit, such as 11 or 33, cut that flag twice. For a single age, cut just the flags you need. The remaining flags keep for next year. You can also use the full set for a countdown, a table number, a team number or a house number on party day.

Size guide

At a 12-inch width each flag is a little over 2 inches across. For a large wall banner, set the size of each flag on its own in your design software. Below 4 inches the string holes and number centers close up.

Hanging the banner

1. Cut the flags from 80 to 110 lb card, and the bands and numbers from their colors.
2. Glue each band and number in place.
3. Thread baker’s twine or thin ribbon through the two holes on each flag, from the back.
4. Space the flags along the string and tie off the ends.

Party ideas

• The age above the cake table
• A milestone banner with a name card at each end
• A jersey number for a sports-themed party, hung over the snack table
