Tree Cut-Out Stocking SVG

About this design

This stocking has a little tree tucked into its heel. It is a slim, angled stocking with a narrow hanging tab at the top, and near the heel, a small Christmas tree is cut right out of the fabric, with layered branches and a trunk. In the layered version, the tree shows the cream backing, like a window into a snowy forest.

The stocking is one connected piece with a single cut-out, the tree. With bold shapes, it passes our cut checks from just 2 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream, which becomes the tree
• Design in red, the stocking

Projects

Size and cutting tips

It cuts cleanly from about 2 inches tall. For tags, 3 to 4 inches. For felt, choose 4 inches or more so the tree’s branches stay crisp. For a shirt, 7 to 8 inches tall.

Step by step: green tree ornament

1. Set the stocking to 4.5 inches tall and download the color SVG.
2. Cut the red layer from red felt.
3. Cut the backing from green felt instead of cream, so the tree turns green.
4. Glue the red layer onto the green backing.
5. Add a tiny gold star sequin at the top of the tree and hang it from the tab.

Color ideas

• Red with a cream tree, the classic
• Red with a green tree for a traditional look
• White with a green tree for a snowy feel
• Green with a gold tree for an elegant ornament

Design notes

The tree sits on the heel, the widest part of the stocking, where it has room to show its branches. The rest of the stocking is plain, so the tree stands out like a single embroidered motif.

Good to know

The tree is the only cut-out, so the backing color decides the color of the tree. Green is the obvious choice, but gold or silver glitter turns it into a sparkling tree, and white makes it look like a tree covered in snow.

Pairs well with

The Star Stocking has a star instead, and the Christmas Tree SVG collection has the tree on its own.
