Bright and cheery Christmas tree is a great kit for beginners stitchers.

Colors of DMC six strand floss * separate into three strands before using: Red 666, Yellow 3820, Pink 3326, Blue 959, Orange 721, Black 310

Text is Back Stitch. Keep stitches small so you can get around the tight curves. Black Back Stitch for lights with satin stitch for the base of the bulbs.

Round Ornaments are Satin Stitch. Start in the center of the shape and then fill in each side. Yellow Stars are also Satin Stitch. Finish the stars by Back Stitching around the star so that there is a stitch on each side of the star.

Remember to tack down stitches for each thread by running your needle under some stitches on the back when stitching a new section or starting a new strand of floss. I recommend tacking down your threads behind the tree so that when you cut the treads when you finish they won’t show through the white fabric.
