Chunky Kids Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking is big, bold and made for little hands. It has a wide, tilted cuff, a short hanging tab at the top and a broad leg that curves into a big, rounded foot. There are no fine details or tight corners, just a chunky shape that is easy to cut, easy to decorate and easy for children to hold.

The design is one connected piece with no cut-outs, so it is the quickest stocking in the collection to cut and weed. The bold shape passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall, and it cuts cleanly from almost any material.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For classroom crafts, 6 to 8 inches tall gives kids room to decorate. It cuts well from felt, foam sheets and thick cardstock.

Step by step: classroom cotton-cuff craft

1. Set the stocking to 7 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut one from red cardstock for each child.
3. Let each child glue cotton balls along the cuff for fluffy snow.
4. Add stickers, glitter glue and sequins to the leg and foot.
5. Write each child’s name across the cuff and hang them on a classroom wall.

Color ideas

• Red, the classic
• Green, white or striped cardstock for a mixed set
• Glitter foam for a sparkly craft
• Kraft paper for kids to color

Design notes

The chunky proportions and smooth curves make this design forgiving. Kids can glue, color and decorate it without worrying about fine details, and the wide cuff gives them room to write their own names.

Good to know

For a lacing craft, punch holes about half an inch apart around the edge of two stockings, then let children lace them together with yarn. Fill the finished stockings with a few small treats as a classroom gift.

Variations to try

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