Merry Christmas Lettering Above Four Hanging Stockings

Big bubble letters spell out MERRY CHRISTMAS across the top of the page. The M and the first C are filled with a pattern of circles and ovals, while the rest of the letters are left plain and open. Four stockings hang in a row beneath the words, each with a wide cuffed top, a curved heel patch and a rounded toe patch. Two stockings have small snowflake-style sparkles on the cuffs and the other two have outlined stars. Snowflakes, swirls, squiggles and a single star are scattered around the lettering. Try coloring the dotted M and C in bold colors, then pick a different color scheme for each stocking so they look like they belong to four people. The plain letters are also good for practicing careful marker work. This free printable would make a nice holiday card front or a classroom decoration.
