Description

This pet portrait Christmas ornament turns a favorite photo of your cat or dog into a full-color embroidered portrait in a round hoop. The coat colors, markings, eye color and expression are traced from your photo and stitched in thread on the fabric you choose, with your pet’s name in script and a small paw print below. Hang a small one on the tree by its bronze-tone hanger, or set a larger one on a shelf or a wall for the season and all year.

What can you personalize on the pet portrait Christmas ornament?

The pet portrait Christmas ornament has 6 choices:

  • The portrait: your pet’s face, drawn from the photo you upload.
  • The Santa hat: a red Santa hat stitched on your pet’s head, or no hat.
  • The fabric: a striped, canvas or gingham background from the fabric chart.
  • The name: your pet’s name in script with a paw print, in a thread color from the thread color chart, or no name.
  • The bow: a lace or satin ribbon bow from the bow chart, or no bow.
  • The hoop: pick the diameter on the size chart in the photos.

Is it a custom cat Christmas ornament or a dog ornament?

It is both. A custom cat Christmas ornament keeps every stripe, patch and eye color of your cat, like LaLa the Scottish Fold in the photos, and a dog ornament keeps the ears, markings and happy open mouth of your dog. The design preview chart in the photos shows cats and dogs with and without the Santa hat, so you can see how your pet will look.

How do you order your pet ornament?

To order your pet ornament, follow 6 steps:

  • Choose the hoop diameter in the options above.
  • Pick the background fabric and its color from the fabric chart.
  • Choose a Santa hat or no hat, and a ribbon bow or no bow.
  • Type your pet’s name and pick its thread color, or leave the name blank.
  • Upload a clear photo of your pet’s face.
  • Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof.

Which fabric should you choose?

A pale canvas, like the one in the photos, lets every coat color show, and a striped or gingham fabric adds a playful pattern behind the portrait. A red or green gingham gives the ornament a classic Christmas look. Pick a name thread color that stands out from the fabric: a light thread on a dark fabric and a dark thread on a pale one.

Which photo works best?

A clear, bright photo of your pet’s whole face works best: both eyes and both ears in view, taken at your pet’s eye level, without blur, heavy filters or anything covering the face. A bright photo shows the real coat colors, so the thread colors on the proof match your pet. The photo guide in the gallery shows good and poor examples.

How does the ornament hang on the tree?

Every hoop has a bronze-tone hanger on top, so a small one hangs from a branch with an ornament hook or a ribbon. The larger sizes suit a wall, a door, a mantel or a shelf.

Is it a good embroidered cat ornament for a gift?

Yes. An embroidered cat ornament with their own cat is a gift a cat mom or cat dad brings out every Christmas, and the same goes for a dog lover with a dog ornament. It also makes a gentle memorial ornament for a pet who has passed. For delivery before Christmas, order by December 2 in the U.S. or by November 23 outside the U.S.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits, including adding or removing the Santa hat. Once you approve it, we embroider your ornament to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page.

How should you care for an embroidered ornament?

Keep the ornament out of direct sun and damp rooms so the thread colors stay bright, and dust it now and then with a soft, dry brush. Do not wash the hoop or soak the fabric, and store it flat in a box after the holidays.

Frequently asked questions

Is the portrait printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The portrait, the Santa hat, the name and the paw print are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a printed photo ornament.

Can I put two pets on one ornament?

This round ornament holds one pet. For two pets in one hoop, choose the oval pet portrait embroidery hoop, which also comes with a name and a bow.

Love this shirt! Perfect gift for my brother. Funny but not cheap quality so I know he will actually wear it! Shipped super quick and was nicely packaged. To my surprise, The embroidery was also larger than I had thought it would be. It’s perfect

Super cute !! I bought it in burgundy because it’s one of my favourite colours and it’s an even prettier burgundy in person, the embroidery is really well done and looks adorable, looks exactly as it does on the listing! Super super worth it especially given the price, I expected it to be more expensive when I saw it on twitter so I was surprised it wasn’t, despite that the quality is great and is super comfortable to wear. I love it !!! ♡

The customer service was great! I accidentally ordered the wrong thing and I was answered very quickly and was helped to make the correct order. The sweatshirt is so cute. I got the brown one and you can’t really read the words at all but that’s on me bc I knew the words were black!
