How To Make a NO-SEW Christmas Tree Skirt

A distich 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 purpose of the tree, too.  So, equally promised, hither is the total tutorial almost how I made it. It was super piece of cake to brand in addition to required absolutely cipher sewing. 
You KNOW how I experience almost 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 distich hours later, I was covered inwards fuzz in addition to hot glue, but this trivial fella had been created. 

So, here's how I made it.

Please pardon my nighttime photos. I sometimes forget that I should accept dainty 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, offset 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 thus that y'all tin instruct it some your tree.

This is what it should expect similar when y'all unfold it. You tin encounter the cutting seam upward at the top.

You tin hem that seam if y'all want, or add together a push closure, but I merely 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 merely cutting 1 petal that I liked in addition to and thus used it equally a designing to cutting the rest. I intend I likely cutting 100+. This was the most tardily purpose in addition to my miserable trivial 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 likely won't endure similar I did. :)

Then, using hot glue, adapt the petals to brand a flower. I used vi petals to brand each flower. I set downwardly the offset 4 in addition to and thus arranged ii on the top.

Once y'all receive got all your flowers made, start hot gluing them some the border of the skirt. I glued on 1 whole row in addition to and thus did a minute row, layering them slightly underneath the offset row.

I intend the fox is definitely to layer them slightly thus that they bunch upward a trivial bit. You tin nation inwards the below motion painting that in that place are ii rows of flowers. You tin practise equally many rows equally y'all want, or fifty-fifty create total upward the whole skirt. 

I merely totally striking my trammel after ii rows.

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

I absolutely dear the agency it turned out though, particularly for merely beingness a slice of felt in addition to some hotglue. I tin 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 thus much for stopping by! If y'all missed whatever of my other vacation projects thus far, y'all tin grab upward here or cheque out my favorite affair always here.
