Mom of the Birthday Boy SVG

About this design

Here the layout runs sideways. MOM is set in heavy slab capitals and turned on its side, reading from the bottom up on a tall, rounded burnt orange tab along the left edge. To the right, the rest of the saying stacks down in three lines: of the in a small, looping script, Birthday in a bold rounded script, and Boy at the bottom, larger still. Three mustard stars scatter below Boy.

The tall tab looks like the spine of a book or a label on a vintage jersey, and it gives the design a strong, sporty shape.

Pieces and weeding

There are 21 pieces and 11 cut-outs in the solid file. The tab, the side word, the three lines and the stars cut separately, so use the iron-on carrier sheet, transfer tape for adhesive vinyl or a backing card for paper to keep the layout. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in cocoa brown, edging the tab and the stars
• Burnt orange for the tall tab behind MOM
• Mustard for the three stars
• Lettering in cocoa brown, for MOM and every line of the saying

MOM sits straight on the orange tab, and the other words sit directly on the shirt.

How big to make it

The design is nearly square, so it fills the chest without spreading too wide.

Cutting it in iron-on

1. Mirror the design. Load the vinyl shiny side down.
2. Cut and weed the cocoa base, then press it to set the layout.
3. Add the orange tab and the mustard stars.
4. Lay the lettering last, so MOM lands neatly on the tab.
5. Go by your vinyl’s own pressing directions.

For a one-color version, the solid file shows MOM as open letters in the tab, so the shirt color fills them.

Make it his color

If the party has a theme, change the tab to his favorite color and keep the words dark. The recoloring guide explains how. The editor on this page lets you preview the shirt before downloading.
