Bold Christmas skull embroidery design, Instant Download

So this is for the people who find regular christmas designs a bit dull. The skull has that old-fashioned engraving look, fine hatching lines and deep black shadows packed into the face and jaw, and then a string of christmas lights loops all the way around it in red, purple, yellow and aqua. The red rose sits right on top like a crown. Its weird in the best possible way. One customer ordered this for a whole set of black bandanas to sell at their alternative holiday market stall last december and sold out same day, so theres clearly a crowd for it.

6 colors, 5 sizes from 3.51 x 3.15 inches up to 7.51 x 6.74. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser on most fabrics because the crosshatch skull fill is dense throughout. Running around 17,065 stitches at the small end and 40,571 at the large. Digitised in professional embroidery software. 85 trims, which is the light strand cycling through as each satin bulb is its own element. Hoop your black canvas or denim snug and dont rush the stitch speed on the large size.

Stitch on black hoodies or unisex bandanas for the highest contrast result. Run it on canvas zipper pouches or veg-tan leather patch blanks if youre doing boutique items. The white skull face pops hard against any dark base fabric. Dont try it on cream or white unless youre going deliberately pale-on-pale, which some gothic crafters do prefer. Either way the linework holds at every size. Reach out via the contact form if youve got a placement question and Ill resolve it fast.
