For an inexpensive Christmas tree skirt, buy a knee length secondhand ladies skirt. Just select one in the appropriate color you desire.

This tree skirt is made with old flannel shirts bought at the Thrift Store and made to look like the old fashioned country tied quilts.

My father-in-law passed away and he had a bunch of overalls and red bandanas. Do you have any ideas for using overalls and the bandanas to make a Christmas tree skirt?

Check out this video. I think you could cut out his items into these shapes and sew them together nicely:

What a wonderful way to commemorate him. Good luck on your project.

As long as you piece the fabric into a circular shape, you will be fine. Here is a tutorial. www.diynetwork.com/.../how-to-make-a-christmas-tree-skirt...

Just off the top of my head, I'm thinking a full skirt for a pattern and lay it open and place one piece of clothing to cover over an area and snip with scissors to match the skirt allowing enough to sew another piece of measured clothing to it. Face down over the other face up and pin in place and trim with scissors and use glue gun or sew together raw edges. Open all the way and add another piece of clothing face down to the face up cut clothing.

Continue until enough clothing is used to create the same measurements as the full skirt. Add some trim work to raw edges with glue gun or hem the edge and decorate. Leave last piece of cut raw edge fabric open, so it's easily removed from around the tree base. Just add sticky back velcro to close it up.

I'm making a felt Christmas tree shirt. I want to write Merry Christmas and Happy New Year on the skirt, but just don't have many ideas of which way I could do this. Fabric paint most probably wouldn't work. Maybe making some sort of banner with the sayings on it and gluing it on the felt? Anyone have any other suggestions? Please help.

I have"Glistening snow write" by decoart.com. They have other writers. This one is like snow and sparkles.

I'm sure any craft store has these writers also.I think it would complete your tree skirt.

I have seen the pre-cut letters in craft stores. They have adhesive backings and come in all sizes and colors. They may work. If the adhesive doesn't hold well, you could glue gun them on.

I just recently used letters that I drew myself on fabric with pencil and then cut out to applique on a wall hanging. It looks really neat because you can add shape to each letter differently and you aren't stuck with plain stencil looking words.

This Christmas tree skirt gives your tree that country-home feel. It is simple to make and can be embellished in any number of ways.

Since it is all done with felt, the sewing can even be done by the novice or use a dull needle to let a child sew on the pieces.

For an easy and economical tree skirt, I purchased a round holiday tablecloth (vinyl front, flannel back). I cut a small hole in the center and cut a straight line from the hole to the outer edge. It works great, is easy to clean & my kids love the design.

Christmas tree skirts can be pricey. Since they are only used once a year many thrifty folks like to fine a better decorating solution. This is a page about using a blanket as a Christmas tree skirt.
