Getting Tree Skirts For Your Decorations

By Paulette Short


Tree skirts are mats that have been made to cover the stand of a Christmas tree. It has a slit in the side and a hole in the middle to allow you to fit it over the planter. If you have been trying to find a solution that will help your display be more attractive, then consider getting this product. It is already being sold in many stores.

There are many designs available. It will not be difficult for you to find something highly appealing and at the same time compliments the interior of your house. You can choose from a variety of colors and prints. The shapes available are not only circular. Different kinds of fabrics are also being used to make these mats.

The use of these cloths started many years before. In a time when candles were being used to provide illumination, the drippings of wax had to be dealt with. Thus, people started placing clothes to catch the drops. By doing so, the needles that were being shed by the plants were also caught in the fabric.

These days these items have become more of a decoration. The designs have become more intricate. Unique fabric, beads, prints, and even embroidery are just some of the decorative features being used for this product. These not only make them good cover, these also make them a good backdrop for the gifts you have.

The main concern when making or purchasing this kind of item is that its measurements should be right. Determine how long the feet of the stand are so you will know how big of a diameter you should be looking for. If the fabric is too short, then it will not completely cover the stand, defeating its purpose.

Be reminded that there are risks to getting a product that is too big for the base of the plant. When the fabric is sticking out, passers by can easily slip and fall. A good pull can topple the plant along with all the decorations. Be especially cautious when you know there will be children and if you have a pet.

One should also check what kind of slit or opening the mat has. You will have to water the plant if it is too survive and flourish. Some items have fasteners like velcro while others will have none. Make sure to note where this opening is placed so you can keep it free of obstructions.

If you have decided to add this to your plant, then you could minimize expenses by doing the sewing yourself. You could measure the base and find some unused fabric from past projects. Alternatively, you could go to the stores and check what they have to offer. Given the many kinds of designs, expect highly different prices.

Tree skirts are fabric sewn together used especially for covering the trunk and base of a plant. You can use this for your Christmas display. It makes the plant more attractive and gives you an area to place the gifts you have prepared.
