Getting Tree Skirts For Your Decorations

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.

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 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.

The type of opening is essential as this can make wearing it and removing it easy. Some openings have no fasteners on it so that it will be more convenient for you to water the plant. It will be up to you to strategically position the fabric so that the opening is not obvious but still remains accessible.

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.

If you do not want the base of the plant to show, then use tree skirts. These are fabrics that have been sewn in such a way that you can fit in the trunk with ease. Having such a cover will still allow you to water the plant when needed since there is an opening. It also makes a good place for displaying presents.
