Christmas Tree Skirt
Whilst your decorated artificial Christmas tree may look stunning, the stand usually doesn’t, by virtue of it having to be practical rather than aesthetic. I used to just lay sheets of cotton wool ‘snow’ around mine but then heard of a tree skirt and set about making my own. We have two trees so I made one with Christmas trees on and one with snowman.

His daughter then admired that one and requested one of her own so I thought it’d make the perfect Christmas project for the blog. So, if you fancy having a go at making your own, here’s how I did mine. First, draw a circle that will cover the legs of your stand plus an extra inch or two for the seams. Cut out a section so that the skirt will form a cone shape and then cut this out from your main fabric and backing fabric. I divided my paper template into 3 pieces
