Felt graphic skirt with snowflakes
1/20
Felt Flakes

    Make a graphic skirt from felt. Cut a large circle of felt for the base, cutting a hole in the middle and a slit to the hole. Add large felt snowflakes with fusible web and then stitch or hot-glue fringe around the edge.

Ring Around the Evergreen

    A circular felt skirt looks lovely at the base of a tree. Carry through the ball-ornament theme with a border of felt circles in shades of green and bright red. Look for premade tree skirts to embellish, or cut your own felt circle.

Cranberry Garland

    For a fresh look and a wonderful scent, gather the whole family together to help string a cranberry garland accented with fresh lime slices.

4/20
Snowball Garland

    Add a wintry touch to your tree with snowball garland made from glitter-covered foam balls.

5/20
Mod Tree Skirt

    Mimic the look of your tree's ornaments on a bold skirt embellished with colorful geometric shapes.

No-Sew Special

    Glue wedges of textured felt to a circular base for an instant tree skirt. Trim seams with rickrack and edge with pom-pom fringe.

Ornament-Trimmed Tree Skirt

    Have yourself a merry little Christmas with an easy custom tree skirt that simply bubbles with style.

Tree Skirt

    This skirt provides a lovely backdrop for the many presents that will soon nestle beneath the tree.

9/20
Feathers All Around

    With colors inspired by a vivid Mexican blanket, this festive tree skirt is infused with howdy ho-ho-ho. Frame the bright blanket stripes with a feathery edge to carry out the western theme.

By the Letter

    Cookie letters strung together to spell out the kids' names take the place of traditional garland on this family-friendly tree.

Barrel of Baubles

    Replace a traditional skirt with a shiny bucket. Stand your tree in an antique barrel, then use extra ornaments as shimmery filler.

12/20
Graphic Garland

    Readily available scrapbooking supplies hold the key to making this graphic garland with bold gold-edge circles and squares.

13/20
Jingle Jangle Garland

    Fill in the branches with garland made from scrapbooking tags and bring holiday cheer at every glance.

14/20
Adirondack Tree Skirt

    Soft sherpa wool runs the border of this classic tree skirt. The center pattern is a pieced-together set of 25 fabric squares in plaid and tree designs.

15/20
Gingerbread Friends Garland

    These gingerbread friends hold hands to create a delicious holiday decoration.

16/20
The Colors of Winter

    Two shapes of burlap pair up for a rustic tree skirt. Just cut the burlap, leaving raw edges, and assemble the pieces using a single topstitch.

17/20
Fruit Garland

    Early Americans relied on the abundance of nature to recreate their Christmas customs.

18/20
Sumptuous Skirt

    Make a fashion statement under your tree with a skirt made from layers of rich fabrics such as taffeta and damask. Simply wrap about 3 yards of the fabric around the tree base, tucking the unfinished edges out of sight.

19/20
Joyful Garland

    Beautifully coordinating papers send season's greetings on this garland. Accordion-folded centers add a ruffled accent, while lettered tags add a classic patchwork look. Attach coordinating stickers and bells and the garland sings with style.

I found a beautiful round tablecloth that I use for a tree skirt some years. It's 90" and I cut a slit and finished the edges of the slit. Slides on easily, and washes, too! I also have a 3 yard piece of 54" wide fabric, it's a red/green/black/white plaid with gold threads that I can 'puddle' around the tree.
