Christmas Skeleton Peace Hand Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Bony skeleton hand throwing the peace sign, two fingers up, the whole hand tangled in a 6-colour string of vintage C9 Christmas bulbs draping across the palm and dangling off the wrist. The lights run red, purple, lime green, yellow and cyan, and the bones underneath sit in black outline with that scribble-fill texture youve gotta use when satin columns run short and tight together. Loop after loop of bulb wire winds through the fingers. Its messy in a good way.

Six colour stops total. Black does the heavy lifting at around 5,424 stitches on the smallest 3.51 inch size, then the bulbs come in one shade at a time, each only a few hundred stitches because theyre tiny. Density runs at 380 which works fine on cotton and fleece but Id back it with medium cutaway stabiliser when you hoop anything stretchy. Five sizes ladder up from 3.51 to 7.51 inch wide, 6,614 to 14,123 stitches total. I digitised it in my usual software and the bulb wire uses a directional running stitch so it reads as wire and not noodle.

One customer ordered this in late November for a black sweatshirt run she does every year for her goth friend group. She used the 6-in centre on the left chest area, swapped my red for hot pink because her friend hates traditional Christmas colours. Worked great. She told me the lights popped harder against the black fabric than they wouldve on cream.

Stitch on black or charcoal hoodies, dark heather tees, oversized sweatshirts, or a denim jacket back panel. Skip light pastels, the black bone outline gets lost without contrast. Hoop with tearaway under stable cotton, cutaway under jersey. Pop a layer of water-soluble topping over fleece so the bones dont sink into the nap. The 5 inch version fits a 5x7 hoop comfortably and keeps every bulb readable.

Hit me up if a colour stop comes through wonky and ill rework that channel for ya.
