Step 2: To make the small middle circle for your tree trunk, fold your fabric circle in half and place a round can or jar halfway across the middle point of your fold. Trace the half circle and cut with fabric scissors.

I used the folding method (in step 1) to mark my cutting path, but I didn’t cut all the layers at once like I did with the felt. No matter how many times you fold your fabric, just use a ruler and measure out half your circle diameter (so 20″ for me) from the center of your folded square all the way across your folded fabric.Once you've finished decorating your tree with baubles and tree lights, you can place your Christmas tree skirt. First, fan out the skirt so that it covers the tree base. Then wrap the skirt fabric around the tree stand. Depending on the Christmas tree skirt you've got, you should be able to button it up or tie it at one end to keep it in place. This year, I thought I’d jump on the tree skirt train and start with three easy no-sew options for my first year.

If you wish to make your tree skirt smaller or larger, simply omit or add one more ‘round’ of sixteen (16) 2½in strips and cornerstones. OK, here are the overall directions for your tree skirt. I’ll give you the variation details for each specific one below. For the pom pom skirt, all you have to do is follow the basic directions and then hot glue pom pom trim around the edge of the skirt. I love jumbo pom poms, so I bought the biggest trim I could find at the local craft store. Step 3: Leave the fabric folded and cut the fold open on just one of the sides. This opening will allow you to place your skirt over the base of the tree.

Cut the ribbon into six pieces that measure 10″ long. Stitch the ribbon to both sides of the line that you cut to the right side of the main outer fabric 6″ apart. Add the ribbon Step 5: Add the Lining To make a scalloped edge skirt, trace the bottom half of a round item (like a ribbon spool) all the way around the edge of the skirt once you cut your large circle. Straight binding was used for the outside edge of the skirt. If you prefer to use bias binding, you’ll need more fabric. Stitch the pom pom trim to the right side of the main outer fabric facing toward the inside of the skirt. Add the pom pom trim Step 4: Add the Ribbon

I kept flipping and refolding the fur so I could mark all the way around the circle, and then only cut one layer deep making very small cuts as I went. Cut through the layers across the marked line with fabric scissors, and you should have a circle when you unfold it. When deciding on the size of your Christmas tree skirt, you should find one that's at least 15cm bigger than the full width of your tree. The style of Christmas tree skirt will depend on the kind of aesthetic you want to achieve with your Christmas decorations. You can browse our Christmas decorating ideas on our blog. I thought it would be fun to add a white tip to the edge of the scallops to make it look like little snow banks. So, once all the grey scallops were cut, I traced the edge onto some white felt as well.The fur skirt is the easiest one because you have the least amount of things to add to it, but you have to be a little slower when cutting out your circles to keep the length of the fur intact around the edges. Place the lining piece right sides together with the outer piece. Stitch all around the bottom of the skirt, the line of the skirt, and the upper circle leaving and opening in the upper circle for turning. Step 6: Turn Right Sides Out
