Personalized Snowflake Initial Stocking Tags Using Cricut

Before even starting your project be sure to shop around for good budget-friendly finds. I picked up both the green velour Christmas stocking and the white snowflake tag from the Target Dollar Spot. That meant all I had to do was cut and adhere the vinyl and my project was done.

Another tip to keep in mind is to look at your craft finds in a new light. For example, this snowflake was actually labeled as a gift topper. You could absolutely still use it as a gift topper. I chose to use it to label our Christmas stockings.

When setting up your preferred Cricut cutting machine and before loading your vinyl…check your scraps pile. Each of these vinyl initials were cut from gold permanent vinyl scraps I had saved. Not only was this Cricut project budget friendly I even used up some of my vinyl scraps!

I’d say that’s a win-win!

My tip is when applying permanent vinyl to painted wood, use regular transfer tape and not permanent transfer tape. The reason is because permanent transfer tape is super sticky; that’s what help keep the image on the tape until you rub it off. But, sometimes that stickiness is too much for some surfaces.

Once all your wooden snowflake tags are finished you can now attach them to the stocking. These ornaments came on a strand of twine so it was pretty easy to attach to the stocking loop. This snowflake tag measures 1-1/4″ in length (that includes the twine hanger).

You could certainly change out the twine for another type of decorative string. I chose to use the tag just as I bought it with the twine. I felt it gave the overall project a little rustic farmhouse feel.

You could also further customize this project by cutting gold vinyl to add the current year onto the back of the wood snowflake.

Now that your Cricut project is all done you have a multitude of options to use your wood Personalized Snowflake Tag. Here’s where you can let your mind wander!

• Stocking tag
• Gift topper
• Christmas tree ornament
• Christmas baby crib mobile
• Hanging decoration from cars’ rear-view mirror
• Keychain decoration
• Window decoration
