Santa Boots SVG

About this design

Before Santa leaves his sooty footprints by the fireplace, there are the boots. This design shows a pair of tall Santa boots standing together, with fuzzy fur trim along the top, a buckled strap at each ankle and rounded toes. It is a playful, less expected Santa motif that works well on signs, doormats and kids’ clothes.

The boots cut cleanly as four pieces: the two boots plus the small buckle details. There are no enclosed cut-outs, so weeding is quick, even for a beginner.

Color file

The color version uses two layers: a cream backing and a red design. On this design, the backing mostly acts as a shadow; for traditional black boots with gold buckles, cut the solid style from black and add the buckles in gold.

Project ideas

• Doormat. “Santa stops here” with the boots, painted through a stencil.
• Kids’ shirts and pajamas. A fun Christmas Eve outfit.
• Christmas Eve box label.
• Fireplace sign next to the stockings.
• Treat bags for Santa-themed parties.
• Shadow box with layered cardstock.

Size and cutting tips

The boots pass our cut checks from about 2.5 inches wide. For a doormat stencil, go big: 14 inches or more, so the paint fills the shapes. On shirts, 7 to 9 inches tall looks right.

Step by step: “Santa Stops Here” doormat

1. Set the boots to 12 inches wide and download the solid style.
2. Type “Santa stops here!” in a bold font above the boots in your software.
3. Cut everything from stencil vinyl.
4. Weed so the boots and letters are open, then apply the stencil to a plain coir mat.
5. Dab black outdoor paint straight down with a stiff brush.
6. Remove the stencil and let the mat dry for a day.

Color ideas

• Black boots with gold buckles and white trim
• Red boots with black buckles for a fun twist
• Glitter red boots for a party sign

Variations to try

• Mirror the design so the toes point the other way.
• Place the boots on a rounded square background in the editor for a coaster.

Good to know

The buckles are small separate pieces. When applying vinyl, keep them on the transfer tape so they land in the right spot on each boot.
