The Perfect Captain America Shield SVG File for Cap Fans and 4th of July Celebrations! 

Hi, Nerds!! I can’t believe that I first shared this Captain America Shield design three years ago for Captain America: Civil War!

We were anxiously waiting for Liam to be born that fall, and this shirt was a little expectant Father’s Day gift for my husband. 

You can see the original design below! I was painting my designs on in those days using a cut out stencil vs heat transfer vinyl. 

Now, we have our second little boy and we just finished the Infinity Saga with Avengers Endgame! 

Since then, I have also learned a whole lot more about providing you all easy files to work with and opened up our Nerdy shop full of cut files and digital files.

Which means it was time to update this post with a much easier file format for you to use!

One thing has not changed in the last few years though – we are definitely still Captain America fans!! My husband grew up loving Cap, and I love getting to see my little boy grow up as one as well! 

This Captain America Funko Pop shown in the original photos is now his toy, much to the annoyance of my husband. He even has his own Captain America Shield that he plays with!

So when he saw this Captain America Shield SVG file, he decided Mom needed to make him a new shirt!

I’m thinking 4th of July photos will feature matching baby and toddler Cap shirts! Or maybe I will go full matching family shirts?!

What I think I really love about this Captain America Shield SVG is that it’s a subtle nod to the nerdy fandom. You can easily wear this design on a DIY Shirt for as just a general 4th of July shirt.

Though people might give you a knowing and admiring nod if they see the Cap Shield! 

You can also use this digital package to make 4th of July BBQ Invites, Cap birthday party decor and more! Even better, how perfect if you can combine both and use this for a July birthday party?! 

When I first made this shirt, I cut out the design as a stencil and painted the Captain America Star Shield design on.

You could definitely still do that if you prefer painting shirts. I do love the distressed look it gives to DIY shirts, and sometimes I think the fabric paint can last longer over time. 

However, I’ve become a convert to heat transfer vinyl over the years. Using iron on vinyl is actually super easy and offers a much cleaner design.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE WITH THIS CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIELD SVG PACKAGE:

For this Captain America Shield cut file, you will get all the SVG files that can be used with any electronic cutting machine, like the Silhouette Cameo and Cricut Explore as well as PDF and JPEG for making cute print files.

You can use these files for all personal projects and, while most used for making DIY Disney shirts, they can be used for lots of projects!

The PDFs and PNGs are great for making prints or party materials like party invites and decor.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE A DIY CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIRT:

If you are looking do complete other projects, like mugs or glassware, use regular vinyl for glassware, mugs, frames, or ornaments – Vinyl Color Pack.

TIPS FOR MAKING DIY CAPTAIN AMERICA SHIRTS WITH HEAT TRANSFER VINYL:

It’s important to follow the instructions on the heat transfer vinyl you purchase, but here are some tips that have helped me! 

Tip #1 – Heating the fabric with your iron or heating press before you adhere the design makes the vinyl adhere more strongly. It has made a big difference for me in my DIY Shirts lasting over time and washes.

Tip #2 – Speaking of washing, always wash your DIY vinyl shirts inside out.  

Tip #3 – Firmly press down your iron or heating press for at least 20 second intervals before moving to another portion of the design. I find pressing firmly is better than moving the iron in strokes over the design.
