About this design

Being on the nice list is good. Being on it mostly is honest. This saying sets “On the Nice List” in a bold, retro script, then adds a small “(mostly)” underneath in brush script, with a red check box ticked beside it, as if Santa checked the box with some hesitation.

The design has eighteen pieces and eight small holes. The check box is a square frame with a separate tick inside, so in the layered version it looks like a real form being filled in.

Color layers

  • Lettering in green as the base, including the check box outline
  • Check box in red on top

Projects

  • Kids’ shirts for the Christmas photo.
  • Matching sibling shirts. Pair with Nice-ish for the full story.
  • Pet sweaters and bandanas.
  • Mugs for the office gift swap.
  • Gift tags for a child’s presents.
  • Advent calendar label on the box or bag.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide. The parentheses and the tick are the slimmest parts; at small sizes, cut the design from the solid style so the check box and tick are a single color. On children’s shirts, 7 to 8 inches wide works well.

Step by step: matching sibling shirts

  1. Make one shirt with this saying and one with Nice-ish.
  2. Set both designs to the same width in the editor so they look like a set.
  3. Mirror and cut them from iron-on vinyl in the same colors.
  4. Press each about 2 inches below the collar.
  5. Take the photo with the kids standing side by side.

Font note

The bold script and the brush script are both open-licensed fonts converted to shapes, so the design opens and cuts the same on any machine.

Color ideas

  • White lettering with a red box on a green shirt
  • Red lettering with a green box on white
  • Navy lettering with a gold box on gray

Variations to try

  • Hide “(mostly)” in your software for a plain nice-list shirt.
  • Rotate the check box slightly for a casual, playful feel.

Good to know

The tick sits inside the box as a separate piece. When you apply transfer tape, press over the box first so the tick stays centered inside it, then smooth out the rest of the design.

Pairs well with

It belongs with Nice-ish and Dear Santa, I Can Explain, and suits the Elf in Training shirt for younger kids.
