Pair of Stockings SVG

About this design

Two is better than one. This design shows a pair of Christmas stockings hanging side by side from small loops at the top, their cuffs overlapping just a little in the middle. One points its toe to the left and the other to the right, so the pair looks balanced and friendly, like stockings for two people hung on the same mantel.

The pair is one connected piece with two cut-outs: the openings of the two hanging loops. The shapes are bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which shows through the loops

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3.5 inches wide. For an ornament, 3.5 to 4 inches. For a sign, 10 to 12 inches. Add names in a bold font so they stay clear on the cuffs.

Step by step: our first Christmas ornament

1. Set the design to 3.75 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Type two names in your software and size each to fit one cuff.
3. Cut the stockings from red permanent vinyl and the names from white or gold.
4. Apply the stockings to a white round ornament, then a name on each cuff.
5. Add “Our First Christmas” and the year underneath.

Color ideas

• Red, the classic
• One red and one green stocking for a mixed pair
• Gold glitter for a wedding ornament
• White on a red mug

Design notes

Because the two stockings face opposite directions, the design is nearly symmetrical. That makes it easy to center over text, and it gives each stocking its own side for a name.

Good to know

To make the stockings two different colors, cut the design twice in two colors and trim away one stocking from each copy, then layer them. The overlap in the middle makes the joined shape look natural, as if one stocking is hanging just in front of the other.

Variations to try

• Add a small heart between the loops in your software.
• Use the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.

Pairs well with
