Free daisy SVG files

Cutting daisies in white

A daisy is white petals round a yellow eye, and the files here are single shapes, so decide first how you want the two colours. For vinyl, cut the whole daisy in white and lay a yellow circle over the eye; the classic daisy has an eye 37 mm across when the file is cut at 100 mm. For paper, use the giant daisy template, which keeps the petals and the eye as separate pieces.

The petals stand apart, with thin gaps running in towards the eye. At 100 mm those gaps are easy to weed. Below about 50 mm choose the simple daisy or the groovy daisy, whose petals are wide and whose gaps are short.

Chains, wreaths and borders

The daisy chain, the heart, the wreath and the border are each one welded piece made of small daisies about 20 to 30 mm across at 100 mm. Cut them at 150 mm or more in card or wood so the small petals keep their strength; in vinyl they work at 100 mm.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
