Paw Print Stocking SVG

About this design

The pets deserve a stocking too. This one has a wide cuff, a small hanging tab at the top and a long leg, and right in the middle of the leg, a big paw print shows four round toes above a soft pad. In the layered version, the paw print shows the cream backing, so it stands out clearly.

The stocking is one connected piece with five cut-outs, the four toes and the pad. The shapes are big and bold, so it passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Color layers

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The paw print is large, so it cuts well from felt and faux leather. For a mug, 3.5 inches. For a tote bag, 8 to 10 inches.

Step by step: pet stocking tag

1. Set the stocking to 4 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock and the backing from white.
3. Glue them together.
4. Write your pet’s name across the cuff with a white or gold paint pen.
5. Tie it to your pet’s real stocking with twine.

Color ideas

• Red with a cream paw print, the classic
• Green with a white paw print
• Black with a gold paw print for an elegant look
• Pink or blue with a white paw print for a playful pet

Design notes

The paw print is placed on the leg rather than the foot, so it sits right in the center of the stocking where it is easy to see. The cuff above stays plain for the pet’s name.

Good to know

The paw print is general, so it works for dogs, cats and other furry friends alike. For a multi-pet household, cut one stocking per pet in different colors and add each name to the cuff, then hang them together.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
• Add a name across the cuff in your software.
