Drawstring Gift Sack SVG

About this design

This sack is stuffed with presents. It is full and rounded at the bottom, gathered tightly at the neck with a drawstring tied in a little bow, and the ruffled top puffs out above it. In the layered version, the drawstring and bow show gold, and two small curves on the ruffle add a touch of shine.

The sack is one connected piece with five cut-outs. The shape is big and bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. The drawstring is the finest part, so for felt choose 3 inches or more. For a Santa sack label, 6 to 8 inches tall.

Design notes

The full, rounded bottom and puffed top make the sack look heavy with gifts. The tight neck in the middle draws the eye to the bow, which is the brightest part of the design.

Good to know

This design is a natural fit for real Santa sacks and gift bags. Cut it in red or green iron-on vinyl and press it onto a canvas or burlap bag to make a personalized sack for each child.

Making it personal

Add a name above the sack in your software, or cut a small tag shape from the collection and place it on the drawstring with the child’s name.

Choosing a size

At 1.5 to 2 inches, it suits stickers. At 3 to 4 inches, it fits tags and cards. At 6 inches and up, it works on bags, shirts and sacks.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to flip the bow.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
