Printing it

Type your size above, then download the PDF.
Print at 100% — never “fit to page”, or every measurement comes out wrong.
Too big for the paper? Pick your paper size and leave Fit the pieces to the page ticked: each piece gets its own place on a sheet and the PDF comes out with every page in it, nothing cut in half and nothing to tape.

How to put it together

These pictures are the christmas stocking box itself, not a generic diagram — change the measurements above and the template changes, but the steps never do. The names in capitals are the labels printed on the template.

Cut the solid lines
Every solid line is a cut. Do the inside shapes first, while the sheet is still whole and easy to hold.
Score every dashed line
Dashed lines are folds. Score each one first — an empty ballpoint against a ruler — or the card cracks along the outside of the bend.
Step by step
1. Cut out the BASE, the BOX WALL, and the LID and LID WALL if you set a lid.
2. Crease the wall at the two top corners of the stocking.
3. Glue the wall strip round the BASE, curving it round the heel and the toe and in round the instep.
4. Fold the tabs in, set the base on them and glue.
5. Make the lid the same way.

Glue: a glue stick for paper, white PVA on card — hold each seam thirty seconds, and let it dry before you use it.

Questions about the christmas stocking box

Where does the wall fold?

Only at the two top corners of the stocking. Everywhere else, round the heel, the toe and in round the instep, the wall curves and is glued down by its small tabs.

What size is the default box?

A stocking 85 mm wide (heel to toe) and 102 mm tall, 35 mm deep with a 15 mm lid. It prints on two A4 or US Letter sheets.

Can I hang it on the tree?

Yes. Punch a hole near one top corner of the lid, thread a ribbon through and hang it from the lid. Keep what is inside light.
