There are many creative and unique alternatives to traditional Christmas tree skirts that you can make yourself. Here are some ideas:
- Felt Tree Collar – Cut out a large circle from felt and then cut out another circle in the center to make a donut shape. Cut a straight line from the outer edge to the inner circle, then fit the felt collar around the base of your tree.
- Plaid Blanket – Drape a cozy plaid blanket or throw around the base of your tree for a warm and rustic look.
- Galvanized Tub – If you have a farmhouse or rustic decor, a galvanized metal tub could make a unique and functional tree skirt. Just fill it with Christmas lights or other decorative items to make it festive.
- Basket – A woven basket can be a stylish and natural option for a tree skirt. Just choose one that is large enough to fit around the base of your tree.
- Quilted Tree Skirt – If you have a sewing machine, you can create a quilted tree skirt using festive fabrics.
- Burlap – Burlap is an inexpensive and rustic option for a tree skirt. Simply cut a large circle out of burlap, then fray the edges for a shabby chic look.
- Monogrammed Mat – You can easily create a personalized tree skirt by painting a plain mat with your family’s initial or monogram.
- Pallet Wood – Create a DIY tree skirt by cutting pallet wood into a circle shape, then staining or painting it to match your decor.
