Santa Gift Sack SVG

About this design

Santa’s sack is the symbol of Christmas Eve deliveries, and this design draws it full to bursting. The red sack bulges at the bottom, its drawstring cords loop down on either side with tassels at the ends, and a few toys peek out of the open top. Cream details show the inside of the sack and the toys.

The sack is one connected piece with two cut-outs at the opening. It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall, so it works for small gift tags as well as big sacks.

Size and cutting tips

It passes our cut checks from about 2.5 inches tall. The drawstring cords are the thinnest parts, so for felt or glitter iron-on, choose 5 inches or more. On a canvas sack, 9 to 12 inches tall fills the front nicely.

Step by step: personalized Santa sack

1. Buy a plain canvas or burlap drawstring bag, about 20 by 30 inches.
2. Set the design to 12 inches tall and download the color SVG.
3. Mirror and cut the sack from red iron-on vinyl and the backing from white.
4. Press the white layer, peel, then press the red layer on top.
5. Add “Special Delivery for” and the child’s name in a script font above the sack.

Color ideas

• Red sack with cream toys, the classic
• Burlap brown sack with red drawstrings for a rustic look
• Green sack with gold toys for a festive variation

Variations to try

• Mirror it in the editor for a pair facing each other.
• Add the editor’s offset border in white for gift wrap stickers.

Good to know

On burlap, iron-on vinyl sticks best when pressed with a firm, even pressure and a slightly longer time. Test on a corner first, because loose weaves can let glue seep through.

Design notes

The toys peeking out of the top are simple shapes, so they stay recognizable at gift-tag sizes, while the drawstrings give the sack its classic Santa look.
