Tutorial: Shamrock SVG in Silhouette Studio

Note: This is an older tutorial. You can also use Silhouette Studio’s Flexishapes to create hearts. And thankfully, I’ve gotten much better at writing tutorials. View newer tutorials: Design with Me tutorials.

Before you get started, you’ll need Border Bits – a free font from Clever Someday and your favorite script font.

  1. Type the number 9 using the Border Bits font. It will display as a heart shape.St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  2. Right click the heart and duplicate the heart two times for a total of 3 hearts. St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  3. Drag one of the hearts to the center and make it bigger. Drag the next heart to the side and rotate it clockwise using the green dot on top. St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  4. Arrange the hearts as shown below so that they are all slightly overlapping. St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  5. Use the ‘Draw a Curve Shape’ tool and draw a stemlike shape.St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  6. Drag the stem into place so that it is slightly overlapping the hearts. Fine tune any placement of your hearts or stem.

  8. Fill your shamrock shape with green. St. Patrick's Day Silhouette Studio Design Tutorial + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  9. Write the word “luck” in your favorite script or swirly font. If you have letters that overlap, be sure to weld the letters together.

  10. Drag the word onto your shamrock shape and rotate it slightly to angle it. It’s okay for your word to be larger than the shamrock shape.

  11. Select all the shapes. Go to “Object”, then “Modify”, and “Subtract”. This will subtract the text from the shamrock like shown below.

I really love the button made with the design. I've been thinking about getting a button making machine and this design would be perfect to use.
