CHRISTMAS TREE SKIRT - on a budget

 The advantage of DIY is that you can stick to your budget , no matter what. I had wanted to make a tree skirt this year and wanted it to be simple and easy to make. This is what I got.
 What you need for a 48" tree skirt:

1. at least 48 inches long cloth , any material of your choice. I have used satin cloth.
2. Scissors
3. measuring tape
4. pen

Method.

• Fold the cloth into a square , on the wrong side. I want a 48 inch tree skirt in diameter , so the square has to be atleast 24 inches in length. (My cloth was more than 48 inches )
  

• Fold the square along the diagonal.
  

• Measure 24 inches from the center along the diagonal. Mark  big dots with a pen from one edge to the other.

• Now join the dots  with a pen or highlighter .

• Now cut along the joined curve.

• Open it back to the quarter circle form. Now we have to make a small inner circle in the center too. I already had an old tree skirt from dollar tree. I took that as the guide to cut out the inner circle.
  
  
  

• Open the tree skirt to a full circle on the right side.
  

• We are almost there!!!!. Now for an opening for the tree skirt , cut one side of the circle from the outer to the inner circle.
  

• Tree skirt is ready. Iron the skirt on low heat to ease out any creases. Now wrap it around the tree. I put my old tree skirt below to give it a lift.
