How to make a paper Christmas stocking
- Choose the classic stocking or the curly elf toe, and one or two per page.
- Type a name for each cuff, one per line, or leave it blank for a line to write on.
- Print, color the cuff, heel, toe and stripes, and cut along the outline.
- For a pocket that holds a treat, trace the cut-out face down onto a second sheet, cut that mirror-image back, and glue the two around the sides and foot, leaving the top open.
What's included in the stocking template
Each stocking is one outline: a wide cuff on top, a straight leg and a rounded foot — or, in the curly design, a toe that curls up to a point. Color-in adds the cuff line, a heel patch, a toe patch and two stripes. Typed names print centred on the cuff. At one per page the stocking is about 6.9 × 8.9 in on US Letter (185 × 235 mm on A4).
Tips for a Christmas stocking craft
- Write each child's name on a cuff and line the stockings up along a classroom wall or a mantel.
- Glue cotton balls along the cuff for a fluffy trim.
- Outline only gives a clean pattern to trace onto felt for a sewn stocking — add a seam allowance around the edge.
- The curly elf toe is the more playful shape; the classic one has the easier curve to cut.
- Two per page makes a stocking a good size for a holiday card or a door decoration.
Customization options
Names on the cuffs
Type up to 40 names, one per line, for one stocking per name. Each name is sized to fit the cuff, and one too long to print at a readable size is shortened with a note on the page. Names never leave your browser.
Classic or curly elf toe
The classic stocking has a rounded toe; the curly design ends in a toe that curls up to a point.
Stockings per page
One large stocking or two side by side, on US Letter or A4.
Color-in or outline only
Color-in adds the cuff line, heel, toe and stripes to color; outline only prints the stocking's edge for tracing.
Frequently asked questions
How do you make a paper Christmas stocking?
Print the stocking template, color it and cut it out. To make one that holds a small treat, lay the cut-out face down on another sheet, trace and cut the mirror-image back, then glue the two together around the sides and foot with the top left open.
Can I put a name on the stocking?
Yes. Type the names one per line and each stocking prints with its own name centred on the cuff; leave the box empty for a line to write on instead.
How big is the stocking template?
At one per page the stocking is about 6.9 × 8.9 in on US Letter (185 × 235 mm on A4). Two per page makes two stockings side by side, each a bit over half that height.
Can I use this template to make a felt stocking?
Yes. Print the outline-only style at one per page, cut it out as a pattern, and trace it onto felt twice, adding a seam allowance before cutting.
Which stocking design is easier for kids to cut?
The classic stocking — its foot is one smooth curve. The curly elf toe has a tighter turn at the tip.
How many stockings can I print at once?
Up to 40 names in one PDF, one or two stockings per page, so a whole class is a stack of sheets from one download.
