Floral Crown Birthday SVG

About this design

Flower crowns have become a birthday party favorite, from little girls at a garden party to grown women at a weekend away. This design draws one as a gentle arch of sage leaves, the kind that would sit across the top of a head. A layered peony crowns the very top, a deep rose rosette sits on each side of it, and a small butter yellow flower finishes each end. Below the arch, Birthday Girl is written in a relaxed, joined-up script.

The arch is wide and shallow, which leaves a natural space for the words and makes the whole design sit nicely across a chest or a card.

Color layers

• Base and lines: dark slate blue-gray, the backing and outlines
• Leaf green: muted sage, the arch of leaves
• Blush: soft pink, the outer petals and heart of the peony
• Rose: deep dusty pink, the peony’s ruffle and the two rosettes
• Butter yellow: pale buttery yellow, the two flowers at the ends
• Lettering: dark slate, Birthday Girl

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 17 pieces and 10 cut-outs. The leafy arch, the five flowers and the words are separate, so lift vinyl with transfer tape and glue paper to a backing card. The rosettes each have a curling slot and the small flowers have open hearts, so weed those with care. It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide. Only two other designs in the floral set go that small.

Size guide

For stickers below 3.5 inches, print the design and cut it with Print Then Cut.

Ideas

Birthday shirts. The obvious one: a shirt for the birthday girl, in layered iron-on vinyl or a single color.

Matching party shirts. Cut just the flower crown, without the words, for her friends or sisters, so everyone wears the crown and only one wears the title.

A paper crown. Cut the arch large from cardstock, glue the flowers on and attach it to a band of card that fits around a head. It becomes a real crown to wear for the photos.

Cards and gift bags. At 4 to 5 inches it fits neatly on a card or bag.

Making the wearable crown

Cut the arch and flowers at 10 inches or so, from a heavy cardstock. Glue them to a strip of matching card long enough to go around the head with a little overlap, and join the ends with a stapler or double-sided tape. The flowers stand up above the band, just like a real floral crown.

Color ideas

For a boho look, use dusty peach, mustard and olive green. For a fairy princess party, try lilac and pale blue with silver glitter card. See changing SVG colors to try it before you cut.

Pairs well with

The Bloom Birthday is another shirt for the birthday girl, and the Birthday Blossoms makes a matching card. More shirt lettering is in the Happy Birthday collection.
