November 09, 2017

A couplet days ago, when I shared this year's Christmas Tree, the tree skirt totally stole the spotlight. I'm non mad at it though, because it's totally my favorite business office of the tree, too. So, equally promised, hither is the total tutorial close how I made it. It was super slowly to brand in addition to required absolutely nix sewing.
You KNOW how I experience close sewing.

I actually wanted an ivory tree skirt this year, and beingness totally unwilling to pass my entire Christmas budget on a skirt for my tree, I bought a yard of ivory felt for $10 instead.

A couplet hours later, I was covered inwards fuzz in addition to hot glue, but this piddling fella had been created.

So, here's how I made it.

Please pardon my nighttime photos. I sometimes forget that I should accept overnice photos in addition to pretend similar I alive within a magazine. Actually, I forget that all the time. Who are nosotros kidding?

The jig is up, Virginia.

Okay! Moving on! So, outset things first, accept a giant slice of felt in addition to flexure it inwards two. Then cutting it into a one-half circle in addition to cutting a smaller circle out of the middle. This is where the tree base of operations goes. You'll also cutting along the seam on 1 one-half thence that y'all tin laissez passer notice larn it to a greater extent than or less your tree.

This is what it should hold off similar when y'all unfold it. You tin laissez passer notice encounter the cutting seam upward at the top.

You tin laissez passer notice hem that seam if y'all want, or add together a push closure, but I but left it unfinished because my tree is upward against the wall in addition to no 1 volition always encounter the dorsum of it.

Next, cutting petals. So many petals. I but cutting 1 petal that I liked in addition to and thence used it equally a designing to cutting the rest. I intend I in all probability cutting 100+. This was the most ho-hum business office in addition to my miserable piddling fingers paid the price. Still, totally worth it.

Also, if y'all invest inwards pair of scissors that cost to a greater extent than than $3, y'all in all probability won't endure similar I did. :)

Then, using hot glue, accommodate the petals to brand a flower. I used vi petals to brand each flower. I set downward the outset 4 in addition to and thence arranged 2 on the top.

Once y'all lead keep all your flowers made, start hot gluing them to a greater extent than or less the border of the skirt. I glued on 1 whole row in addition to and thence did a 2d row, layering them slightly underneath the outset row.

I intend the play tricks is definitely to layer them slightly thence that they bunch upward a piddling bit. You tin laissez passer notice nation inwards the below pic that at that spot are 2 rows of flowers. You tin laissez passer notice exercise equally many rows equally y'all want, or fifty-fifty fill upward up the whole skirt.

I but totally hitting my trammel after 2 rows.

Blistered fingers = AND I intend it's done!!

I absolutely beloved the agency it turned out though, peculiarly for but beingness a slice of felt in addition to some hotglue. I tin laissez passer notice definitely encounter myself using this adjacent year. And the adjacent year.

To infinity in addition to beyond.

And that's all for today, ya'll!

Thanks thence much for stopping by! If y'all missed whatever of my other vacation projects thence far, y'all tin laissez passer notice grab upward here or banking company stand upward for out my favorite affair always here.
