Stocking Gift Tag SVG

About this design

This stocking is made to be written on. It is a simple, angled stocking with a plain body, a hanging loop at the top and a small round string hole beside it, just like a gift tag. There are no patterns or details to get in the way, so the whole stocking is a blank space for a name, a “To and From” or a short message.

The design is one connected piece with two cut-outs: the hanging loop and the string hole. It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall, because the loop and hole are small and need a little room to cut cleanly.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 4.5 inches tall. For gift tags, 4.5 to 5 inches gives plenty of writing space. Cardstock and kraft paper work best for writing on.

Step by step: kraft paper gift tags

1. Set the tag to 4.5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut a dozen from kraft or red cardstock.
3. Write “To” and “From” on each one with a white or black pen.
4. Thread twine through the string hole.
5. Tie the tags to wrapped gifts.

Color ideas

• Red with white writing, the classic
• Kraft paper with red writing for a rustic look
• Green with gold writing
• White with red writing

Design notes

The string hole is separate from the hanging loop, so you can use the tag two ways: hang it from the loop on a tree or a hook, or tie it to a gift through the hole. Both are already cut for you.

Good to know

For printed tags, download the PNG and add your text in your design software before printing, then cut around the outline with Print Then Cut. A sheet of tags with names already printed saves time on Christmas Eve.

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
• Add “To” and “From” lines in your software before cutting.
