Hello! It is Stacie from GingiberSnap<\/a>! Recently, I mistakenly purchased some non refundable striped knit fabric, complete with silver tinsel woven into the yardage (tip: always read the entire item description for online purchases, because I never would have bought silver shiny fabric if i had known)! My solution: Make an awesome silvery striped tree skirt to go under my Christmas Tree! I am totally into silver metallic this Holiday Season!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Here’s how I made the tree skirt:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

1. Trace a large circle onto the knit fabric (I created a perfect circle by folding my fabric into quarters, tying a piece of string to the low part of a pen, holding the string down where the center of the circle would be, and drawing around the center while keeping the string tight. Unfold the fabric, and instant circle!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

2. Cut out a small circle from the center of the larger circle using the same method (this will go around your tree base. Then cut a straight line from the small circle to the outer circle.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

3. To give the fabric some structure, use the first fabric skirt circle to trace and cut out another skirt from a sturdy fabric. I used some awesome pink felt from the remnants section of my local fabric store. Then pin both fabrics together.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

4. Grab some pretty bias tape, and go around the pentameter of the skirt, until all edges are covered. Then run it through your sewing machine.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

5. Finally, I decided to applique some simple little felt stars to the front of the skirt. Voila!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Wrap some pretty packages with brown craft paper and paper snowflakes! This definitely adds some much needed pop to my tree!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I hope that this inspires you to make your own version of a Christmas Tree Skirt this season!<\/p>\n

Thanks so much, Rachel, for letting me share my holiday DIY with your readers,<\/p>\n
