The tree shape is standard, a clean triangular silhouette with a small trunk at the base. Whats different is the colouring. Instead of green the whole tree is banded in rainbow stripes running horizontally from warm red near the base up through orange, yellow, green, blue and violet near the top, with a gold satin star sitting above it all. Twelve colour changes at a density of 1,045 means the bands are solid and crisp, not washy. Stitch range runs 11,635 at the smallest 2.21 by 2.51 inch version up to 27,924 stitches at the 4.85 by 5.51 inch top size.
Its a design that divides people a little, which is exactly why it sells well this christmas season. Some customers want the traditional look and others want something that stands out on a gift or stocking. This one is firmly in the second camp. Use medium cutaway stabiliser on knit fabrics like fleece or interlock to stop the dense satin bands from dragging. Tearaway handles most woven bases well. Best on white or light natural fabric so every colour band reads clearly without blending into the background.
Four sizes gives a good working range. Pick the small 2.2-inch for a shirt collar or sock cuff. Use the 4.8-inch for a centrepiece placement on a bag or cushion cover. Its worth noting that the colour sequencing groups warm tones first then cool tones, so youre working through the rainbow in order and youre not hunting through the thread drawer mid-job. One customer ordered a bunch of the large version for a batch of white canvas bags as group gifts and said the whole run went faster than shed expected because of that logical stop order.
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.
- Holiday tote bagsCanvas tote at 4.8 inches as a colourful holiday gift bag, the warm-to-cool colour sequencing groups the thread changes logically so a batch run of ten goes faster than expected
- Christmas cushion coversWhite cushion cover front as a bold seasonal centrepiece that suits households who want something festive but dont want the traditional green-and-red palette
- Kids Christmas stockingsFelt stocking front at a mid-size in a household where the rainbow tree is a statement about inclusivity as much as decoration
- Linen shirt collar accentsShirt collar point or cuff accent at 2.2 inches: small enough to fit entirely within a standard collar point and the twelve colour stops scale down cleanly
- Holiday fleece blanketsWhite fleece blanket corner at a small size for a subtle rainbow holiday accent that works without being the main event on the blanket
- Fabric gift pouchesMuslin gift pouch at the smallest size as a reusable christmas wrap, the compact tree communicates the season clearly on a plain fabric surface

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.
