Christmas Lights Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

The christmas tree pulls together from a single continuous scribble of black string light wire that loops back and forth into a triangular tree shape, with little C7 bulbs sprinkled across in 6 punchy colours plus a single open outline star sat at the top. Bulbs are red, orange, sunshine yellow, deep green, aqua blue, and magenta pink. Wire runs as a heavy black satin path, bulbs sit filled on top, and the star is just an outline so itll read light against any colour ground.

Its a 7 colour design (the 6 bulb tones plus the wire), 5 sizes ranging 3 inch up to 7 inch widths. Stitch counts run 5,469 at the smallest then 7,308 at 4 inch and topping out higher at the bigger pieces. 6 colour changes total per run, the satin wire takes the biggest chunk of stitches at around 4,042 to 5,433 sts since it forms the whole tree silhouette and only one layer of bulbs sits on top. So load that thread last in your colour stops if youre trying to minimise re-hooping.

One customer messaged me a photo back in december of nine little canvas gift bags shed stitched up for her nieces and nephews christmas eve party. She did the 4 inch on each one in cream canvas with the standard bulb colour palette, finished with a name tag tied to each handle. Theyd got opened first apparently.

Pop a firm cutaway behind any tee or sweatshirt fabric, the dense wire silhouette will pucker without it. Use medium tearaway on cotton or canvas wovens. Toppings helpful if youre going onto fleece or felt. Pair the 4-in on a kids christmas tee chest. Embroider the 6 inch on a christmas eve box pyjama top. Drop the 7 inch onto a tree skirt corner or a christmas cushion front. Hoop cream, oat or red fabric to make the bulb colours pop hardest. Skip black grounds because the wire vanishes into the fabric.
