Making a Christmas Tree Skirt

One Dollar Christmas Tree Skirt Post by ThriftyFun (4042) | (12/12/2004) Profile | Blog! | Contact For a Christmas tree skirt, I use a fabric tablecloth that I found at a $1 store. By Faye Lewis RE: Making a Christmas Tree Skirt Post By Elisabeth (Guest Post) (11/28/2004) An easy way to add cutout motifs as D suggested is to use WonderUnder or a similar product. It is a fusible web that turns any fabric into iron-on fabric. It comes with paper on one side. Cut out your motif roughly, leaving some extra fabric. Iron the WonderUnder - web down, paper up - to the back of the motif. Peel off the paper and the web is now on the back of your motif. Cut out your motif exactly how you want it to be in the end, position it on the skirt and iron again - it is now stuck down. No edges to turn under and it won't fray. I suggested that you wait to do the final cutting until the WonderUnder is applied because that means the edges won't fray when you do the final cut. If you want you can now use your machine to do decorative edge stitching around the motifs - using gold thread would add a nice festive touch. Or you could use that glitzy fabric paint that comes in a squeeze tube and makes a raised bead. Have fun!

RE: Making a Christmas Tree Skirt Post By D (Guest Post) (11/21/2004) Are you asking how to add photos to the skirt?? YOu can use your computer printer to print iron on pages to add real photos....look in craft or office supply stores for the photo transfer pages that go thru your printer and follow their insructions.....if you are thinking Christmas motifs look for fabris with designs to cut and applique on the top layer before you put the skirt together. Hope this helps
