Gathered Tree Skirt!

I needed a tree skirt for our Christmas Tree.
I had some sometime curtains that were hanging inwards the
boys room when nosotros moved in.
They wanted dark curtains, hence I swapped them
in addition to had this khaki materials sitting around.
I cutting them into triangles.
I didn't measure, none of them are the same size...they expect similar a mess.
I sewed them together hence all the pocket-size ends were at the run past times in addition to the broad ends were at the bottom.
This volition brand my tree skirt actually full!

Then, I sewed a ii 1/2 inch casing at the run past times edge...

in addition to sewed a trouble downwardly the casing...so essentially at that spot are ii casings.

I used a bodkin in addition to some 550 cord.

Thread the cord through the run past times casing, hence loop it dorsum through the bottom casing.

It volition convey a loop similar this on i end...

And necktie it off on the other end.

Now larn some to a greater extent than cord.
Go inwards the looped end.

all the means through i casing, loop it on the "tied" end,
hence dorsum through the other casing.
Tie it off on that end.

So y'all convey loops in addition to ties on both ends.
When y'all push clitoris the tied ends, the loops volition tighten
and brand the cloth assemble perfectly!

Awesome right?
You tin larn a actually tight assemble on this too.

Now y'all tin necktie it closed to the base of operations of the tree.
And no worries if y'all larn a bigger tree...the skirt volition all the same check it!
