Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt

The following is a step-by-step instruction guide for making a quilted Christmas tree skirt at home. In order to make this skirt, you can make use of any fabric of your choice. As a tip, it is recommended to go for a fabric with Christmas colors like green, red, white, etc., or with a fabric having pictures related to Christmas.

• Make a template of a triangle with all sides equal and all angles with 60 degrees (equilateral triangle) on a cardboard.
• Now place this template on two pieces of fabric, which should be placed with their right sides together.
• Cut the triangle. Now you will have 3 triangles together.
• Next, you should keep the right sides together and sew every single triangle.
• When all the triangles are sewn, you should fold all the fabrics to form a single triangle.
• At this point, you need to cut a hole at the top of the triangle and then open it again.
• Open the fabric completely and place it over another cloth which will serve as the back piece.
• Trace the upper fabric on the lower one, and cut the lower fabric accordingly. Now sew the edges of the upper and lower fabric together.
• You are done with the quilted Christmas tree skirt. You can decorate the skirt with any embellishments of your choice!

Rickrack, gingerbread toys, Christmas ribbons, laces, etc. can be used for decorating the tree skirt. A few things to remember before sewing or buying a Christmas tree skirt are that you should take exact measurements of the tree so that you find a properly fitting skirt. In that case, you do not need to fold the tree skirt (for being extra long) neither fret (for it being too small).
