5 Minute Easy Christmas Tree Skirt


Have you gotten your tree up yet? I just finished working on mine this week. The boys enjoyed helping with the tree and with this project…haha

Do want to make a really easy tree skirt? You are just in luck. So I took a circular table cloth I had on hand (actually the previous owner of this house, left it in the garage! FREE)

Fold the tablecloth in fourths

Then starting at the corner of the table cloth, draw an arc. I used a piece of string and a pen to draw an even line.

I thought this was the easiest way to make one because honestly, who wants to hem around a huge circle? Not me. So that’s why I went with the already done for me circular tablecloth. If you don’t have one laying around, they’re aren’t that expensive so it is also very frugal!

Oh and it's really good at catching all the glitter from my ornaments, I guess that's what it's for, huh?

  3. That is so smart! You've really made me think... We always get a live tree for our main living area (aside from the other 12 trees I put everywhere else). But my one problem is watering the tree. I'm thinking if I bought a vinyl flannel backed table cloth that would keep me from dibbling water all over our carpet!

    Thanks for sharing!
