Stocking Sugar Cookie SVG

A stocking with a patched heel

Toe pointing to the right, cuff across the top, a single gold star on the shin: this one looks like it came off a mantel and went straight into the icing bag. The red fills the leg and foot, and two curved green patches mark the heel and toe, the way an old knitted stocking would be reinforced.

Its cuff stands a little wider than the leg, and the tan edge wraps around that step, which gives the outline more character than a plain boot shape.

Pieces and weeding

Out of the machine you get 6 pieces and 2 cut-outs, a comfortable amount for a beginner. They are the baked rim, the red stocking, the two green patches, the cuff and the star. None of them is attached to its neighbor after cutting, so carry vinyl on transfer tape and stick paper parts to a card or to the dark base. It passes our cut checks from about 2 inches wide.

Color layers

• Base and lines in dark cocoa brown: one solid shape, read as linework and a whisper of edge
• Cookie in golden tan: the outside band of baked dough
• Cream icing in warm cream: the cuff
• Red icing in holiday red: the leg and foot
• Green icing in evergreen: the heel and toe
• Gold icing in sunny yellow-gold: the star

A gift plate for the neighbors

Delivering cookies on a paper plate? Dress it up with a stocking tag that doubles as the note.

1. Enlarge the design to 4 inches for a tag with real presence.
2. Cut every layer from cardstock and assemble it, base first.
3. Write the neighbors’ name on the cream cuff, and sign the back.
4. Punch a hole near the top of the cuff and tie the tag to the wrap with baker’s twine.

If you would like a stack of matching tags without all the gluing, a printed copy with Print Then Cut only needs the machine to trace the silhouette.

What else to make

• Treat bag labels with each family member’s initial on the cuff.
• Tea towels in layered heat-transfer vinyl.
• Christmas cards with the stocking raised on foam tape.
• Kitchen signs counting down to baking day.
• Recipe cards for the cookies that always end up in the stockings.

Size guide

Anything tinier than 2 inches should be printed, since the star’s points need room to cut cleanly.

Color ideas

• Green stocking with red heel and toe for the reverse look
• Navy with white patches and a silver star
• Muted brick red and sage on a kraft edge, for a farmhouse kitchen

Pairs well with

The Candy Cane Sugar Cookie hangs nicely beside it, and the Plate of Cookies for Santa tells the rest of the story. Our gift tag designs match the neighbor-plate idea.
