This is the perfect wedding anniversary gift! A gift that keeps on giving as you add a new leaf on each year to symbolise the longevity and growth of your marriage. Celebrate each year by adding on a new green leaf from those I provide you.

When made with two cotton leaves to begin with, this is the ultimate 'cotton' gift for your two year anniversary.

This listing is for a tree with green leaves. I will stitch on the first two leaves for you {if you need more (or less), see my other listings or send me a message with this order}. I will also include a little ziplock bag with about 60 pre-cut leaves in a variety of greens, all 100% cotton. The leaves have "Bondaweb" already ironed on the back, so are self-adhesive when you iron them. You can iron them on and leave it at that, or you can go on to hand stitch with black around your new leaf. Each little leaf is only about 1.5cm long, so it's not too much work! I include instructions for you.

The fabric background is pure linen, in a natural creamy colour. The tree trunk and branches are dark brown cotton. The first leaves stitched on will be in a variety of green prints - not necessarily the same as shown in these images.

The frame is an 8" (~20cm) diameter wooden embroidery hoop. Because you may need to take the fabric out of the frame for ironing / stitching the new leaves on each year, the fabric will not be adhered to the frame, but I will make the back as neat as possible and ready for display.

** Due to popular demand!
If you'd like to personalise your tree with your names and/or wedding date, please see this listing here where for a small extra fee you can "Add-On" your personal information:
