About this design

This stocking is wrapped up like a present. A big ribbon bow is tied across the top of the cuff, with two loops and long tails that sweep out to the sides and down the front. Fine lines trace the folds of the ribbon, so it looks soft and tied by hand. Below the bow, the stocking has a long leg and a full, rounded foot.

The design is four pieces with three cut-outs: the stocking and parts of the bow and ribbon. In the layered version, the bow details show the cream backing. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Color layers

  • Backing in cream, which shows in the bow details
  • Design in red, the stocking and ribbon

Projects

  • Gift tags for wrapped presents.

  • Gift card holders.

  • Ornaments in felt with a real ribbon.
  • Mantel banners.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The ribbon lines are thin, so for felt or glitter cardstock choose 5 inches or more. Keep the small bow pieces on the transfer tape when you weed.

Step by step: two-color bow stocking

  1. Set the stocking to 5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
  2. Cut the red layer from red cardstock and the backing from cream.
  3. Cut the design a second time from gold or green cardstock and keep only the bow and ribbon.
  4. Glue the backing, then the red stocking, then the colored bow on top.
  5. Add a real ribbon loop at the top to hang it.

Color ideas

  • Red with a cream bow, the classic
  • Red with a gold bow for a festive look
  • Green with a red bow
  • White with a silver bow for a winter wedding

Good to know

The bow is the focal point, so giving it its own color makes the biggest difference. A gold or green bow on a red stocking looks like a wrapped gift. On a felt version, you can glue a real satin bow over the printed one for a three-dimensional finish.

Variations to try

  • Mirror it in the editor to point the toe the other way.
  • Add the editor’s offset border for a die-cut sticker.
