Stocking with Ornament SVG

About this design

This stocking is decorated like a tree. A round ornament hangs on a thin string from a little curled hook at the top, dangling beside the cuff. The stocking itself is wide and roomy, with a broad leg and a big, curving foot that leaves plenty of space for a name or a design of your own. It is simple, festive and a little playful.

The design is one connected piece with no cut-outs, so it is quick to cut and weed. The ornament is attached by its string, so everything stays together. It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, the same outline, hidden underneath
• Design in red

With no cut-outs, this design is usually cut in a single color. For a colored ornament, cut the design twice and keep only the ornament from the second copy.

Projects

• Name labels for real stockings.
• Gift tags.
• Holiday cards.
• Felt ornaments.
• Kids’ shirts.
• Advent calendar pockets.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 3 inches tall. The ornament string is thin, so for felt choose 5 inches or more. For a name label, 4 to 5 inches gives room for a name on the leg.

Step by step: gold ornament card

1. Set the stocking to 5 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut the whole design from red cardstock.
3. Cut a second copy from gold glitter cardstock and keep only the ornament.
4. Glue the red stocking to a white card panel, then glue the gold ornament over the red one.
5. Mount the panel on a folded card.

Design notes

The stocking is wider than most in the collection, which gives the leg a broad, plain area. That space is perfect for a name written in a large script, a monogram or a small design layered on top.

Good to know

The ornament hangs by a thin string, which is the most delicate part of the design. If you are cutting thick materials, use the editor’s offset border, which wraps the stocking and ornament together in one sturdy outline.

Variations to try

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