Stocking Shaped Christmas Tag SVG

One small sock, one piece

Think of the fireplace version shrunk to the size of a matchbox. A plump red leg curves into a foot pointing right, with a green patch on the heel, another on the toe, and a wide cream cuff across the top. The hole for the string goes through that cuff, so the stocking dangles the right way up, just as it would from a mantel hook.

Being so simple, it is one of the quickest designs in the collection to cut, and it stays clean down to a very small size.

Pieces and cut-outs

The solid file is just 1 piece with 2 cut-outs. Fine lines mark where the cuff, heel and toe meet the leg, and small tabs bridge those lines, so the entire stocking comes off the mat as a single shape. The cut-outs are the string hole and a short slit under the cuff, between its two tabs. With nothing loose, there is no assembly, and it hangs from its string as cut. It passes our cut checks from about 1.5 inches wide.

Which layer is which

• Base and lines: dark green-black, every part cut together as the base
• Tag: fire-engine red, the leg and foot
• Picture: forest green, heel and toe
• Accents: cream, the cuff

A felt-look version

Stockings beg for texture. Felt-finish cardstock, or even thin stiffened felt if your machine handles it, gives the sock the look of real fabric. Try a white glitter or fleece-textured paper for the cuff. For plain card, draw a row of tiny stitches around the edges of the patches with a white gel pen, which costs nothing and adds a lot.

For a three-color version, cut the one-piece shape as your base in dark card, then cut the Tag, Picture and Accents layers from their own papers and glue them on top. The tabs stay hidden underneath.

Names on the cuff

Writing goes on the back as usual, though the cream cuff is pale enough for a short name on the front too. Keep it to the part beside the hole. Hand-lettered initials work especially well for a family line of stockings, one per person.

Sizes

Tinier than 1.5 inches? Print it on card with Print Then Cut instead.
