NO SEW Tree Skirt!

I realize this is late since Christmas has passed us this year, and I sure hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, but i find I fall behind on things then at random times decide to work on stuff. Must be the insomnia kicking in. LOL.So Its 10:53pm on new years eve 2012, and here is a simple and easy tree skirt for your Christmas tree. Keep this in mind for next year. Cause its easy!! And, common, who doesn't like easy??

Supplies:
1.5 yards of felt in color of choice (I used white since my tree has a general snowflake theme each year)
Felt tip marker
Scissors
Salad plate
Ruler/Yard Stick (optional)
Round dinner table (Not required but it made cutting the circle so much easier!!)

Step 1:
Cut felt into a large circle. I used my dining room table as it is round to do this, cause for whatever reason I cant cut a round without a dotted line to follow. If you don't have a table to follow, fold the felt in half and cut a half circle. When you unfold the fabric you will have a full circle. (even following the edge of the table I still cant cut a circle!)

Step 2:

Using the salad plate eyeball the middle of the circle and trace around the plate with the felt tip pen. From the circle draw a straight line to the outside edge. You can use a yardstick or not, totally optional :-)

Step 3: Using your scissors cut along the marked lines removing the smaller circle.

Step 4: Drape around your tree and enjoy!

Now, normally I would put a picture of the skirt around my tree, and I did take a picture, but guess what, I cannot find it! Its maddening!

Anyways, You can add to it all you want, i think even sewing a ruffle around the edge would be cute, but that was more then I was going for. LOL

Hope you like!
