Four Ever Young SVG

About this design

The number does double duty here. A tall italic 4 in a crisp serif fills the left half of the frame. To its right, the phrase finishes in a stack: ever in a curling script, a short gold rule broken by a little diamond, and YOUNG in tidy spaced capitals. Read together, it says Four Ever Young. Three small gold stars, one near the top left of the words and two at the right, add a little sparkle.

It works for a fourth birthday, and the phrase also makes a sweet keepsake for a parent or grandparent who wants to remember that age.

Pieces and weeding

The solid file has 15 pieces and 4 cut-outs. The 4, the script, the capitals, the rule and the stars are not joined, so use transfer tape for vinyl and a backing card for paper. The few cut-outs sit in the 4 and the lettering. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Gold in antique gold: the rule with its diamond and the three stars
• Lettering in warm near-black: the 4, ever and YOUNG

Things to make

• A child’s shirt for the birthday, with the stars in glitter vinyl.
• A card, with the 4 cut from patterned paper.
• Bedroom wall art in a frame, as a reminder of the age.
• Party bag labels printed with the color file.
• A cushion cover in iron-on for a keepsake.

Size guide

The script is the finest part. Below 4.5 inches the joins between its letters get too thin, so for tiny tags print the design and use Print Then Cut.

Placing the pieces

Because the design is laid out in two columns, it is easy to let the right side drift up or down. On paper, glue the 4 first, then set ever beside its upper half and stack the rule and YOUNG below, checking the column against the preview as you go. On vinyl, keep everything on a single strip of transfer tape so the layout stays exactly as drawn.

Bright and pastel options

For a younger look, try a sky blue 4 with yellow stars, or a coral 4 with mint lettering. A single pastel across the whole design is pretty on a white shirt. Our guide to changing SVG colors shows how to set each layer.
