This three-tier Christmas tree fits on a single 29x29 square pegboard. A yellow star sits on top, the branches have a darker green edge and a lighter green highlight on the left so the tree looks rounded, and red, blue and yellow baubles are scattered between short white garland dots. A brown trunk and a red pot finish the base. It is a good first holiday project: large single-colour areas, few colour changes and a shape that is easy to check as you go.
Not yet test-fused. This is an original pattern designed on screen; it has not been ironed and photographed yet. Perler is the palette the pattern was drawn in. Hama and Artkal codes are automatic nearest-colour matches (CIEDE2000), not official conversions.

⚠ C24, C61, P58: the closest Hama or Artkal colour is still noticeably different (ΔE over 10). Compare with a physical colour card or pick a substitute by eye.
Place the dark green outline first, row by row, then fill the inside. The outline tells you immediately if a row is shifted by one peg.
Leave the baubles and garland dots for last so you can move them around before ironing; they are the part people like to personalise.
The star is only connected to the tree by the top branch row. Iron both sides well, or add a small loop of thread through the star if you plan to hang it.
For a wall or window decoration, iron a little longer on the back so the separate tiers stay flat when the piece cools.
