Christmas Tree Skirt Ideas

Repurpose that arm-knit blanket into a simple yet stunning DIY tree skirt. Create a basic blanket and wrap it around the base of your tree. The loose chunky texture is the perfect contrast to the branches of your Christmas tree. 

A stunning cable-knit throw skirts the base of this Christmas tree like a soft blanket of snow. Easy to stitch, the top is cut in one piece with the cable textures running parallel across the entire shape -- no piecing required and no need to match patterns. Polish off the look with pretty poinsettias.

It doesn't get cozier than this Sherpa fleece tree skirt. Made with a simple fringing technique, you can display it on either side. Finish this handmade tree skirt with a simple pom-pom tree and place it under the tree!

Snowflakes are an iconic symbol that indicate winter's arrival, and during the holidays, the motif is available in abundance throughout stores.

Embrace the wintry theme by adding snowflake embellishments around the house.

This Christmas tree skirt bears a merry message applied with custom-cut stencils and black fabric paint on linen.

This handmade felt Christmas tree skirt is so fun to make (and festive under the tree), you won't want to cover it up with gifts. For the skirt, cut a desired-size fabric circle with a slit for the tree. Cut holly leaves in two colors and sizes (about 24 and 26 inches) of felt and red felt circles for berries. Hand-stitch long, straight stitches with embroidery floss down the center of the leaves. Glue on leaves and red berries.
