Festive Paw Print Christmas Tree Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Every branch of this christmas tree is a paw print. Green filled paws stacked in rows, getting narrower as they go up, topped with a red star. Coloured lights on green wire strings drape between the paw rows in yellow, orange, and red. Two baubles hang in there, one red and one deeper red. At the base theres a tan dog bone like a trunk. Six colours total, 6 colour changes, and it reads immediately as both a tree and a dog thing. My customers who have dogs cant get enough of it every december, honestly its one of the most requested designs I do this time of year.

Wilcom handled the digitising at density 333. At the 7.5 by 5.69 inch size its 14,208 stitches. The smallest at 3.5 by 2.66 inches runs 5,946 stitches. Five sizes available. The paw prints have clean satin fill and the lights and baubles are smaller fill sections so use a heavy cutaway underneath to keep everything flat. The wire lines connecting the lights are running stitch so hoop the fabric really taut before you start or youll get wavy lines instead of clean curves.

One customer messaged me last christmas saying she stitched the 6 inch version on a dark red flannel shirt for her dog-walking group party and everyone wanted to know where she got it. I love hearing that. Stitch on navy or dark green fabric and those coloured lights absolutely pop. Avoid pale backgrounds if you want the green paws to read, they need contrast to work.

Works on sweatshirts, fleece blankets, tote bags, and canvas cushion covers. Try the small 3.5 inch version on a christmas stocking cuff or a dog bandana folded flat in the hoop. Add a pets name below in a simple font if youre making a personalised gift.
