Colorful Dino Tree With Star Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Whole christmas tree is made up of dinosaurs. Aqua, pink, red, dark green, stacked from the ground up in a triangle so the silhouette reads as a holiday tree from a distance, but up close ya see a stegosaurus, a t-rex, a long-neck, a parasaurolophus, lined up like festive ornaments. Black bunting garlands wrap around in two tiers, green dot ornaments scattered between the gaps, and a wee aqua five-point star sits on top. I drew it for a customer whod messaged saying her son was nine and wanted dinos on everything for xmas last winter.

Stitch count is 10,304 at the smallest 4.5-inch size and 17,132 at the 7.5 ceiling. Just 5 colours total which keeps thread changes simple. The dino fills are open silhouette style with a lighter density of 414, so it sits flat on cotton without that stiff cardboard feel youd get on heavier character fills. I digitised it in my main software with sketchy interior shading on each dino so theyre reading as little drawings, not solid blobs.

One mum bought four sizes and ran a matched set across her sons stocking, his bedroom pillow, a tee shirt, and a tote bag for school. The tree shape reads instantly even at the smallest 4.5-inch hoop. Use medium tearaway under cotton, switch to a polymesh cutaway if youre hooping onto sweatshirt fleece with stretch.

Best on pale grounds, white, cream, soft grey, pastel blue, where the colourful dinos can pop. Avoid black or navy unless you swap the dark green for something brighter. Skip heavy ribbed knits, the bunting strands wont register cleanly across the rib. Stitch on cotton twill, pique, linen, or canvas. Drop me a line if any size acts up on your machine, Ill rework it same day.
