About this design

Who needs a sleigh? This Santa flies on his own, stretched out horizontally with one arm reaching forward like a superhero. His beard and hat stream back in the wind, his boots kick out behind, and his gift sack trails along at the end. It is an energetic, funny take on the Christmas Eve journey.

The design is eight pieces with three small cut-outs for the beard and fur trim. It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide. Because the figure is long and low, it fits naturally across a shirt or along a banner.

Color layers

  • Backing in cream, forming the beard and trim
  • Design in red

Fun projects

  • Kids’ superhero Santa shirts.
  • Ceiling or wall decals in a playroom, as if Santa is flying overhead.
  • Christmas Eve countdown signs.
  • Gift wrap stickers with “Express delivery!”
  • Car window decals for a festive road trip.
  • Banners with Santa flying along the top.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 5 inches wide. For a shirt, 9 to 11 inches wide across the chest works well. The arm and boots are the narrowest parts; keep them on transfer tape as you apply.

Step by step: superhero Santa shirt

  1. Set the design to 10 inches wide and download the color SVG.
  2. Mirror and cut the red design and the white backing from iron-on vinyl.
  3. Press the white backing first, then the red design on top.
  4. Add “Santa Express” in a bold font underneath.
  5. Add a few small stars behind Santa as a speed trail.

Color ideas

  • Red and white, the classic
  • Blue suit with a red cape twist for a superhero look
  • Gold glitter Santa on a navy shirt

Variations to try

  • Mirror it in the editor so Santa flies to the left.
  • Rotate it slightly upward in the editor so he looks like he is taking off.

Good to know

Long, horizontal designs look best centered on the chest of a shirt, slightly higher than usual, so they do not disappear under a jacket or a seat belt.

Design notes

The design is about twice as wide as it is tall. That makes it a natural fit for wide spaces such as the back of a hoodie, the top of a sign or a long banner, where an upright Santa would leave empty space on either side.

Pairs well with

The Flying Reindeer makes a perfect pair, and the Santa Gift Sack shows the sack up close.
