Blank Cuff Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking was made for names. It has a wide, plain cuff across the top, with plenty of room for a name or a monogram, a hanging loop at the top corner and a long leg that curves into a rounded foot. Nothing else gets in the way, so whatever you add to the cuff becomes the star of the design.

The design is one connected piece with a single cut-out, the opening of the hanging loop. The shape is bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which shows through the hanging loop
• Design in red, the stocking

Personalized projects

• Family mantel banners.
• Place cards for a holiday dinner.
• Gift tags with a name.
• Kids’ shirts.
• Classroom door decorations with each child’s name.
• Advent calendar pockets.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. For place cards, 3 to 4 inches. For a banner, 7 to 9 inches. Choose a bold font for names so the letters stay clear at small sizes.

Step by step: family stocking banner

1. Set the stocking to 7 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut one stocking from red cardstock for each family member.
3. Type each name in your software, size it to fit the cuff and cut the names from white cardstock.
4. Glue a name across each cuff.
5. String the stockings on twine through their loops and hang them along the mantel.

Color ideas

• Red with white names, the classic
• Green with gold names
• Buffalo plaid patterned paper with black names
• White with red names for a clean look

Design notes

The cuff is deliberately wider than the leg so that names of different lengths fit without crowding. Short names look great in a large script, while longer names fit on one line in a narrow, bold font.

Good to know

To cut the name right out of the cuff, place your text over the cuff in your software and use Slice in Cricut Design Space or Subtract in Silhouette Studio. The backing color then shows through the letters on a layered version, or the surface shows through on a single layer.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker with a name.
