10 Festive DIY Christmas Tree Skirts

There’s nothing like a classic tree skirt to finish off your Christmas tree decorations. A tree skirt grounds the decor and makes the vignette look polished and complete. Store-bought tree skirts can be pricey, and there’s no guarantee you’ll find the style or the colors you’d like. Why not customize your skirt by making it yourself? A tree skirt can be simple or detailed, classic and traditional or modern and clean. It can be whimsical, fun, fresh, or chic. You can use it to finalize the tone of your decor, so use these 10 DIY Christmas tree skirts as inspiration for your own!

1. No-Sew Ruffled Tree Skirt, The Johnston’s – It’s hard to believe there’s no sewing involved here, but it’s true! Fabric strips, a pre-made skirt base and hot glue – that’s all you need. It looks like a million bucks.

2. Plaid and Pom Pom Tree Skirt, Something Is Done – If you like plaid for winter (and it’s really a winter staple, right?) you’ll love this skirt. The photo tutorial makes it an easy sew while the pom pom trim adds the right touch of whimsy.

3. Felt Fringe Tree Skirt, Pretty Prudent – This cute and modern skirt uses felt, which makes it a quick sew with no hemming or raw edges involved! The fringe element is a fun alternative to ruffles and you can customize it with any colors you’d like.

4. Rustic Tree Skirt, Country Woman Mag – This truly unique take on the tree skirt idea is intriguing. It makes use of grapevine wreaths in graduated sizes stacked around the bottom of the tree. There’s no sewing – or fabric! – involved though it still looks festive without the ruffles, lace and standard Christmas motifs.

8. Sweater Skirt, So Eclectic – With an old sweater, a scissors and a couple of stitches, this Christmas tree got a cozy skirt with a custom look. It’s got a warm and homey look that’s truly inviting.

9. Scalloped Tree Skirt, Centsational Girl – These scallops are a lot easier to make than you’d think – because they’re felt! Attach a bunch of felt half-circles around a bottom layer of fabric cut in a circle, and you’ve got a cute scalloped skirt without the headache! It’s fanciful and fun, and the unconventional colors make it pop.

10. Tablecloth Turned Tree Skirt, design POST Interiors – If you think tree skirts are too much trouble, try this one before swearing off the DIY look. It’s made from a round tablecloth, so with two cuts you’re finished! It literally takes about a minute to complete.
