Fa La La La La SVG

About this design

The chorus everyone knows, even when they forget the rest of the words. Fa la la sits on the first line and la la on the second, set in chunky, rounded letters with a slightly wobbly, playful rhythm, like lettering from a children’s picture book. Three eighth notes in green bounce above the words, the middle one a little higher than the others, as if the tune were rising.

It is cheerful and bold, with no thin strokes anywhere, which makes it one of the best designs here for kids’ clothes and for younger crafters.

Color layers

• Lettering in red, the base layer with the words
• Details in green for the music notes

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 13 pieces and 5 cut-outs, most of them inside the letters a. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide, and the rounded shapes are forgiving on felt and flocked vinyl.

Projects

• Kids’ shirts for a school concert or a Christmas play.
• Choir and music class door signs.
• Piano covers or music book covers.
• Party cups for a caroling night.
• Felt banners with each word cut separately.

Step by step: a school concert shirt

1. Set the design to 6 or 7 inches wide for a child’s shirt.
2. Download the color file and mirror both layers in the editor.
3. Cut the lettering from red iron-on vinyl and the notes from green.
4. Press the lettering first, then place the notes above it and press again for a few seconds.
5. Turn the shirt inside out for washing to keep the colors bright.

About the lettering

The rounded letters come from a free, open-licensed font and are already shapes in the file. The music notes were drawn to match the weight of the lettering.

Variations to try

• Add a name below in your own software for a personalized shirt.
• Cut each line on its own for a two-panel banner.
• Cut the notes from gold glitter vinyl so they catch the stage lights at a school concert.
