This tree has no branches. Ornament shapes stack row by row into a triangle and the ornaments are the whole tree. The rainbow runs from the bottom up, warm reds at the base fading through orange and yellow into green at the midpoint, then blue and violet toward the top. Each round ornament gets its own satin fill stitch so the individual circles stay distinct even at small sizes. The spacing between them keeps the overall tree outline clear from a distance.
3 colour changes for the whole piece. professional digitising tools mapped the palette into red-to-violet using colour blending across the ornament rows, so youre not swapping thread 6 times for a 6-colour gradient. Thats a genuinely clever bit of digitising I was suprised worked as cleanly as it did. Density is 694. Run it on a black hoodie with firm cutaway backing and the colours really pop off the dark base fabric. Use a size 80/12 needle throughout. Add a topping over fleece to stop the ornament circles from sinking. Skip the hoop on stretch velvet, the density needs a stable woven or a firm cotton base.
6 sizes from 1.72 to 5.15 inches wide and 2.51 to 7.51 tall, stitch count from 6,856 to 26,832. Ive stitched the 4-inch run onto a black zip-up hoodie front every december since I listed this. One customer ordered 12 hoodies last november for a family christmas photo and said the rainbow against black was exactly what she wanted. Repeat the 2 small sizes at 1.72 and 2.5 inches across a stocking or napkin hem for a row of trees instead of a single piece.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Black hoodie front chest panel for a Christmas market outfitThe 4-inch placement on a black zip-up hoodie chest panel gives a clean, high-contrast holiday look that reads well in low light.
- Christmas stocking front in the mid-range 3-inch sizeThe 3-inch size on a stocking front sits neatly in the center without crowding the cuff or toe seams.
- Kids holiday top pocket area at the small 1.72-inch hoopAt 1.72 inches the tree fits on a kids top pocket area; the ornament rows are still individually readable at that scale.
- Set of holiday cocktail napkins with one tree per cornerFour matching trees in the corners of a cocktail napkin set look cohesive for a holiday table setting.
- Gift bag row of repeated small trees across the frontRepeat five 1.72-inch trees in a row across a kraft gift bag front for a multicolour band of colour.
- Matching ornament fabric for a handmade christmas card topperStitch onto a small square of white cotton then trim and mount on card stock as a handmade gift card topper.
- Tree skirt center panel at the full 5.15-inch sizeThe full 5.15-inch version centered on a tree skirt panel gives the whole skirt a focal point visible under the tree.

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.
