Heres the paw print christmas tree, stacked in tiers from a wide base up to a narrow top with a five-point gold star sitting on top finishing it off proper. Forest green and warm tan paws alternate through the tree across 6 colours and 9 sizes from 3.51 up to 7.51 inches, so the whole tree reads like real branches even though every shape is a paw print.
Black outline frames each paw with subtle satin highlight streaks running across the green fills, gives the design that craft-illustration look without going flat. Density runs around 1152 spi which is on the heavy side, so dont skimp on stabiliser. Star at the top sits in gold yellow with white highlight streaks across the points, thats what makes it pop on cream felt.
I designed this back in november when my sister kept asking me for something specifically for her dog instagram. She put it on a felt stocking she made for her golden retriever last christmas and it looked dead-on like a vintage holiday print. People keep ordering it for vet client thank-you bags too.
Stitch on cream cotton, red felt, charcoal fleece or a stocking fabric for the warmest holiday read. Skip patterned fabric, the paw shapes need clean space around them. Use a heavy cutaway stabiliser cause the green and tan fills run dense at 1152 spi, especially above the 5 inch range.
Pair it with a small dog-name script for personalised stockings. Hoop the 7 inch in pale wood for a wall piece. Pop the 3 inch onto a bandana corner or collar tag without overcrowding. Run polyester thread on knits, the green holds its colour better than rayon through the wash. Good for batch holiday gifting cause the paws read as dog or cat either way.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
