Seasonal Styling: Unexpected Christmas Tree Skirts



 Kristie Barnett's Pink Christmas Tree and Ruffled Skirt

Last year after Christmas, I found this beautiful blue ruffled tree skirt on clearance at HomeGoods.  I liked it so much, I couldn’t wait all year to use it.  I actually used it as a regular tablecloth on a small table and topped it with a large round tray to cover the big circular opening in the middle.  Now it encircles my small pink Christmas tree.  Using it in an unexpected way throughout the year got me thinking:  if I could use a Christmas tree skirt for some other purpose than encircling a Christmas tree, what other things might I use as a Christmas tree skirt?  Hmmmmm . . .


 

The resourceful folks at Real Simple took several simple scarves and wrapped them around the base of the tree to create this fresh and playful Christmas tree skirt.  Love it! scarf tree skirt from RealSimple
