5+ Modern Christmas Tree Skirts

December 1, 2015 | 2 Comments

Let’s face it, the Christmas tree can look bare and (ahem) naked until those presents are piled underneath.  Why not add a tree skirt?  When adding a Christmas tree skirt under the tree, think outside the box.  Your tree skirt doesn’t need to stick to the traditional red and green colorway.  Sewing modern Christmas tree skirts will guarantee that, your tree will be the talk of the town!
