Method

1. Measure the diameter you want for your tree skirt. A typical size is about 48 inches (1.2 meters). Cut a large circle from the fabric using the measuring tape and fabric marker to draw a guideline.

2. Cut a smaller circle in the center of the larger circle. This should be wide enough to fit around your tree trunk, usually about 5-10 inches (12-25 cm).

3. Cut a straight line from the edge of the large circle to the center hole. This will allow you to wrap the skirt around the base of the tree.

4. Fold the raw edges of the fabric under and sew them with a sewing machine or use fabric glue to secure them. This prevents fraying and gives a neat finish.

5. Cut lengths of ribbon or cord, and attach them at the edges of the slit. These will tie the skirt around the tree base.

6. Let your creativity shine by adding sequins, fabric paint, or other decorations to personalize your tree skirt. Allow any glue or paint to dry completely.

7. Once everything is dry, place the skirt around your tree and enjoy the festive spirit it brings to your holiday decor.
