If you don’t slit the tree skirt, how do you get the skirt around the tree?
Great question. When I made my tree skirt years ago I cut a slit from the edge to the circle and bound all the way around all the edges. Lots of binding needed, but looks great. Then it slips under the tree without any issues of disturbing the decorations or gifts. The slot goes to the back and is not seen.
Hi Melinda! We designed it with the idea in mind that you would put it over the tree base before securing the tree inside the stand or base. If you would like to add a slit to this though you always could! We have other patterns and tutorials that show how to do that if you’re interested!
