How Do You Make A Glam Christmas Tree Skirt?

A red, green or white flannel or felt Christmas tree skirt is traditional and practical - and will clash terribly with your very glam Christmas tree this year. Why not make an equally fabulous tree skirt? Choose a fabric - and don't be shy.

Think glorious velvets, shiny taffetas, stiff tulles and glowing lamés and - above all - sequins. If you can find the fabric cheap enough, make two skirts and layer them (silver chiffon over red velvet?). Buy 5 yards of fabric (if you're making just one skirt).

For simplicity, try to get fabric that is 45 inches wide. This will give you a tree skirt just under 90 inches in diameter after hemming - big enough for just about any tree. If you want a contrasting trim, buy 15 yards (it sounds like a lot, but trims vary significantly in price).

Then... Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, and then in half again to make four layers. (You'll have a perfect square four layers thick - each side 45 inches.) Cut along the folds to create four equal squares. ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
