If you find yourself without a tree skirt, don’t worry! There are still ways to make your Christmas tree look beautiful and complete. One option is to use a piece of burlap fabric as a makeshift tree skirt. It has a rustic and natural look that can add charm to your tree decor.
To start, you’ll need a piece of burlap fabric that is large enough to cover the area around the base of your tree. Grab the four corners of the fabric and bring them up to the tree base. Make sure the fabric is evenly spread out around the tree.
To secure the burlap fabric to the tree base, you can use some jute twine. Tie the twine tightly around the fabric and the base of the tree. This will hold the fabric in place and prevent it from sliding or bunching up.
Once you have tied the twine, you may notice that there are two sides of the fabric sticking out and looking a bit messy. To fix this, you can simply tuck those sides under the rest of the fabric. This will give the appearance of a neat and tidy tree skirt.
If you want to add some additional embellishments to your burlap tree skirt, you can get creative. Consider adding some festive ribbons or bows along the edges of the fabric. You could also attach some small ornaments or pinecones for a touch of holiday sparkle.
In my own experience, I have used burlap fabric as a tree skirt when I couldn’t find a traditional skirt that matched my decor. It worked wonderfully and added a cozy and rustic feel to my Christmas tree. Plus, it was a simple and affordable solution.
If you don’t have a tree skirt, using a piece of burlap fabric can be a great alternative. Simply tie the corners of the fabric to the tree base with some jute twine and tuck any excess fabric underneath. Get creative with additional decorations if desired. With a little creativity, your tree will look complete and festive, even without a traditional skirt.
