I love monograms and I really love black and white buffalo plaid for the holidays; so I blended my two loves and made a black and white buffalo plaid monogrammed wreath stocking. This monogrammed wreath stocking would be perfect on my tree, as a utensil holder on a tablescape, or as fun packaging for a gift card.

I love buying designs from the Silhouette Design Store that I can use over and over in different ways and this monogrammed wreath stocking is the third project I have made with this design. It is so fun to be able to customize gifts or even gift wrap.

Estimated Time: 20 Minutes

Skill Level: Intermediate

Supplies Needed:

Silhouette CAMEO®
Silhouette Cutting Mat
Weeding Hook
Silhouette Studio – use the Business Edition for easy importing and use of SVG files
Heat Transfer Vinyl – Red
Buffalo Plaid Mini Stocking
Iron or heat press
Monogrammed Wreath Font

Step One: Creating a Monogrammed Wreath Stocking:

Open Silhouette Studio®.

Select the Page Setup Window and adjust your cutting mat size to 12×12 (or the sized mat you are using).

First, you need to purchase and download your design from the Silhouette Design Store.

Next, open your design in Silhouette Studio. Click File>Library>Fonts>Select your file.

Click your screen and type the initial you would like to use in your monogrammed wreath stocking.

Measure your stocking and re-size your design to the correct space on your 12×12 template – be sure to click and drag to select the whole design to keep everything lined up.

You will need to flip your design, so it appears backward for Heat Transfer Vinyl – this is called “mirroring” your design. Highlight your whole design, right-click, and select “flip horizontally” to mirror it.

Select “Send” to prepare to cut.

Follow the prompts in the Software for Heat Transfer Vinyl (or the type you are using for your project) and double-check to make sure your design has been selected to cut.

Load your heat transfer vinyl into your Cameo 4 with the color side face down on the mat.

Click “Send”

When your machine has finished cutting, press the down-arrow to remove the cutting mat from the machine.

Step Two: Preparing Your Merry and Bright Pillow:

Remove your sheet of Heat Transfer Vinyl from the cutting mat – go slow so it doesn’t curl up or tear.

Use your fingers or a weeding tool to remove the excess vinyl from each color. Be sure to leave your design on the clear carrier sheet.

Step Three: Creating Your Monogrammed Wreath Stocking:

Pre-heat your stocking – use your iron or heat press to warm up the fabric for a better transfer.

Place your design on your fabric right side up (this is the reason you mirror your design for cutting).

Heat the design for the recommended time for the HTV you’re using. Use steady pressure.

Peel back the clear carrier sheet. Some Heat Transfer Vinyl requires a hot or cold peel – always follow the recommended peel for your heat transfer vinyl. Tip: pull from a corner and not the side to make sure each part of the design transfers completely to your fabric.
