Star Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking has a couple of stars to wish on. It tilts playfully to one side, hanging from a small tab at the top, with a wide cuff and a full, rounded foot. On the foot, two five-pointed stars shine, one large and one small, as if the stocking was stitched with a star pattern just for Christmas Eve.

The stocking is one connected piece with two star cut-outs. In the layered version, the stars show the cream backing. The shapes are bold and simple, so it passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall, small enough for planner stickers and mini tags.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 1.5 inches tall. For tags, 2.5 to 3.5 inches. For felt, choose 3 inches or more so the star points stay sharp. For a child’s shirt, 7 to 8 inches tall.

Step by step: gold star ornament

1. Set the stocking to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock.
3. Cut the backing from gold glitter cardstock instead of cream, so the stars sparkle.
4. Glue the red layer onto the gold backing.
5. Punch a hole in the tab and hang it with gold thread.

Color ideas

• Red with cream stars, the classic
• Red with gold glitter stars
• Navy with silver stars for a night sky look
• Green with white stars

Design notes

The stars are placed on the foot, the roomiest part of the stocking, with the large star near the middle and the small one lower down. That leaves the leg and the cuff plain, so there is room for a name without crowding the stars.

Good to know

The stars are the only cut-outs, so the backing color sets the mood. Gold glitter makes them sparkle, silver looks wintry, and yellow makes a bright, cheerful stocking for kids. The same two files work for all of them.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to tilt the other way.
