Christmas tree made entirely from stacked five-pointed stars, each row slightly smaller than the one below until you get a single star sitting at the top like the tree topper. No branches, no baubles, no tinsel. Just stars arranged into a triangle shape, clean and flat. The effect is more poster art than traditional holiday, which is exactly the point.
Two colours only: a warm red for the main star fills and a lighter sky blue as the secondary tone. density measures 285 stitches in each square inch and thats low density, intentional. Thats what gives it the graphic poster feel rather than a heavy filled-in look. Six sizes from 2.5 to 7.5 inches means ya can go tiny on a gift tag patch or stretch the 7.5-inch version across a tote bag face.
I make this kind of minimalist geometric design when I want something that works for people who hate the typical busy christmas stuff. My nephew actually spotted it on my work monitor and asked if it was a patch for his denim jacket, which is how I knew the design language was landing right. Tested it last december on grey jersey and the two-colour combo read beautifully without the fabric pulling.
Best on mid-tone fabric. Run this on grey, navy, cream, or forest green and both the red and blue pop cleanly. Skip white fabric unless youre using a coloured topping, otherwise the sky blue fill nearly disappears. Lay tearaway behind stable woven fabric, light tearaway works fine given how open the stitch density is. Hoop snug and the star points will come out crisp at any size.
Theres only 1 colour change in the whole file so machine stops are minimal. Send me a note if you want the two colours in a different order and Ill walk ya through the thread sequence.

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.
