Tree Skirt - DIY

Well I told you I would put together a tutorial on my tree skirt so I rushed to get it to you before Christmas. Just in case you have some free time between now and then to add an extra craft, hehe.

Materials:

5 x 5 ft painters drape canvas (I found my at Home Depot)
4 ft fabric of your choice, I used cotton
Glue gun
Glue sticks (a new pack, you’ll use them)
Scissors
Marker
Measuring tape

Instructions:

Lay the painters drape canvas out on the floor. Fold in quarters.

 

Then fold it in a triangle.

 

Measure your tree and how long you want your tree skirt to be. I wanted mine to be 22 inches so I took my measuring tape and put it at the top of the corner of the triangle and held it there while I made my marks on the bottom portion. I made my marks across the bottom on the painter’s canvas to make a circle. Cut the top corner of your triangle and along your dotted line.



 

Lay it out on a table, if you’re like me you might not of folded it in a quarter and now you have 2 pieces. Don’t worry just overlap one side and glue the 2 pieces together.



 

 

 

Get your cotton fabric and measure and mark at every 3 inches. You can either cut or tear the pieces off. Don’t worry if it’s not a straight line, you’ll never notice once it’s all put together.

Next you are going to take your fabric and glue a line on the painters canvas where the top of your piece of fabric is just covering the edge of the skirt. To make the ruffle look make a little fold on your glue line all the way around.

You will repeat all the way around the skirt overlapping each layer.

 

I hope you all enjoy!
