Day 5 Jute Tree skirt

Jute Tree Skirt

With the addition of my new tree, I also needed a new tree skirt. I wanted to originally use burlap. Unfortunately they ran out of it at my local fabric store. Seeing this is a time sensitive project I choose to use jute instead. Which is still has a natural and organic feel to it.
There is no sewing involved in this project. I used one yard of fabric and I bought some ribbon to add as trim. I cut my fabric in a circle to have about a 45" circumference. I then cut up one side to the center and cut away a small circle for the base of the tree to fit. Using my hot glue I trimmed out the edges with gilver colored glitter ribbon and a beautiful satin ribbon in the color of moss. I adorned the front of the skirt with our family name initial using some left over ribbon.
It looks beautiful under the tree! The pictures do it very little justice.
