Moon and Stars Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking belongs to a night sky. On the leg, a crescent moon curves gently, and three little stars twinkle on the foot below it. The stocking has a wide cuff, a hanging tab and a long leg, and the moon and stars give it a calm, dreamy feeling, like Christmas Eve when everyone is waiting for Santa.

The stocking is one connected piece with four cut-outs: the moon and the three stars. In the layered version, they show the cream backing. The shapes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which becomes the moon and stars
• Design in red, the stocking

Dreamy projects

• Planner stickers.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. The star points are the finest parts, so for felt choose 3 inches or more. For pajamas, 6 to 8 inches tall.

Step by step: Christmas Eve box label

1. Set the stocking to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the design layer from navy cardstock instead of red, for a night sky.
3. Cut the backing from gold glitter cardstock, so the moon and stars shine.
4. Glue the layers together and glue the stocking to the lid of a box.
5. Add “Christmas Eve” and the child’s name above it.

Color ideas

• Red with cream moon and stars, the classic
• Navy with gold moon and stars for a night sky
• Pale blue with silver for a nursery
• Green with gold for a festive look

Design notes

The moon sits high on the leg and the stars fall toward the foot, which leads the eye down the stocking like a falling star. The cuff stays plain for a name.

Good to know

A navy design layer with a gold or silver backing turns this into a true night sky stocking. That color pair also makes a lovely nursery decoration that can stay up all winter, not just at Christmas. Add a baby’s name to the cuff and it becomes a keepsake for the first winter.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
