Tree skirts are fabrics designed to hide the base of the Christmas tree. The mat is supposed to be wide enough to cover the area underneath the plant. With an opening, you can slip it on the trunk and then position it so that it covers everything. You will be able to find these items in stores selling Christmas decorations.

If you take the time to view different selections, you will see numerous designs. It usually has a circular shape to accommodate the area under the plant but it can also come in other shapes. The fabrics used can be of a single color or more. With the many versions available, you could find something that matches your house decorations.

The practice of putting clothes over the stand began many years before when candles were still used for lighting the display. Since the wax can drip all over the floor, cloth was placed. Another benefit to putting the mat was that it also caught the needles from the plant since these will be shed all over time.

Today, the mat is more of a decorative feature. Instead of ordinary fabric, the designs have become more elaborate. Different fabrics are used to create a pattern and there could be features such as beads, embroidery, and prints on it. Aside from providing cover, it makes a convenient place to put all those gifts.

One of the most important things that have to be considered if you want to make this addition would be the measurements of the stand. Note how long the feet are so you can estimate how wide a diameter the product should have. The mat should hide the whole structure or else putting it there would be pointless.

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 decorative pieces that are used to cover the base of the Christmas tree. It will make your display more appealing and at the same time it will give you a place for your gifts. There is an opening in the fabric so that you can easily water the plant when there is a need.
