SAW IT. PINNED IT. DID IT: NO SEW TREE SKIRT

Hello hello hello.

Come on down and join the partay!

We're back after a week off with another round of Saw It. Pinned It. Did It.

(also known as the partay)

Except for me it should be called Saw It. Pinned it. Glued It.

More on that in a minute.

I'm a firm believer in giving each holiday it's time to shine and since Thanksgiving has passed,

bring ON the Christmas crafts. Each and every one of them. I mean it.

I love me some Christmas and I love Christmas decor even more, if that's possible.

This week I tackled the No Sew Ruffle Christmas Tree Skirt.

I saw that bad boy and knew I needed to re-create it in my own way to put in the K household.

Burlap and ruffles are a winning combination in my book, and from weeks prior I think many of your books as well, so I decided to use burlap and red fabric. 

Here's how I did it:

You'll need-

-old tree skirt (to use as a base)

-fabric cut into 2 1/2" wide strips: I used approximately 2 yards of each fabric

-hot glue gun and glue sticks (lots of 'em!!) 

What you do-

First, you get your game face on.

Then, you lay out your old tree skirt.

Try and distract any furry animals in your home that are desperate for attention.

Or just try to get them off your tree skirt so you can work...

Cut your fabric into strips.

Start at the bottom of your skirt and by the edge where your opening is. Start gluing small sections as you go creating ruffles and gluing them down.

Continue to make layers and gluing down the fabric. 

Trim up any messed up spots and don't worry, it won't be perfect but you won't be able to tell when it's finished.

Ba-da-bing. Ba-da-BOOM.

You're done!

Making this type of tree skirt is really easy, but just make sure you have a lot of glue sticks on hand. Like 20. or maybe 30. ;)

I will take more pictures this weekend once we get our tree up, so you can see what this tree skirt looks like with our tree! Cannot.wait. I love it.

What do you think, how'd I do on this project?

Your turn to show us what you craft you made, recipe you tried cooking, or outfit you rocked!
