It's called a tree skirt. Hides the stand and makes a nice backdrop for all the gifts!

I've had a red felt cheap one for a few years and always meant to jazz it up. Last year I even bought lots of "stuff" from the craft store to do it but neglected to do so. Sooooo yesterday and most of last night I spent cutting out little felt trees and snowmen to adorn my crumby red felt tree skirt, gawd is it awful looking! I did manage to sew on some gilded rick-rack around the bottom. I am so not creative, it's a shame. I am going to finish this for sure, well OK, not finish it, I decided it's such a pain it will be a work in progress, to be continued next year, and next and so on.....then I'll probably break down and buy an expensive one and get a real live big tree too!

In my minds eye I am such a great artist.......

I think I figured a way to take and post a pic with my cell phone I will try to get one posted soon. I love seeing everyone elses and now that I've told you what a crumby job I did on my "skirt" well I must show ya!
