Birthday Besties SVG

Two flowers, two friends

Best friends who share a birthday, or friends who celebrate together every year, get a pair of daisies that look like they are grinning at each other. The left flower is the bigger one, with mustard petals and a burnt orange face. The right one is a little smaller, with the colors swapped: burnt orange petals and a mustard face. Both have cream dot eyes and a wide cream smile.

Below the flowers, Besties is lettered in a bold, rounded script in deep olive green, and BIRTHDAY sits under it in spaced capitals with an avocado star at each end. The green lettering is a little darker than the avocado stars, so the words stand out on their own.

Layer by layer

• Base and lines, dark cocoa: the edges of the petals, faces and stars
• Burnt orange: the petals of the smaller daisy and the face of the larger one
• Mustard: the petals of the larger daisy and the face of the smaller one
• Avocado, light olive: the two stars
• Cream: both sets of eyes and smiles
• Lettering, deep moss green: Besties and BIRTHDAY

Pieces and weeding

The single-color cut has 30 pieces and 10 cut-outs. Petals, faces, smiles, stars and words are all separate shapes, so a carrier sheet (iron-on), transfer tape (adhesive vinyl) or a backing card (paper) keeps them in their places. Weed the smiles first while the flowers are still on the sheet. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide.

Matching shirts for two

The obvious use is two shirts, one for each friend. A few ways to make them a pair:

• Swap the colors: one shirt as drawn, the other with mustard and orange reversed.
• Same print, different shirt colors, such as cream and olive.
• Solid version in a single color for each friend, cut from white iron-on on a dark shirt.

Mirror each layer before cutting and put the iron-on shiny side down. Press the backing first, then the flowers, the cream faces and the lettering, using your vinyl brand’s directions.

Other ideas

• A pair of matching tote bags for a shopping day
• A card front for a best friend, in layered paper
• Water bottles in permanent vinyl
• A sign for a joint birthday party table
