Does anyone use a blanket for a Christmas tree skirt?

Most of my life I just used a cheap white twin sized bedsheet. Tuck the hems in so it doesn't scream sheets. I like to stack gifts under the tree and think a blanket would be too much bulk under there to put gifts on. A cheap rectangular table cloth would work too.

I've done that, we have a Christmas afghan that was a wedding present. Some years it's been wrapped to replace a skirt.

Other years it's been flat, like a picnic blanket and trees and a real skirt on top of it. I actually like this look a lot, but it's more time consuming to pleat so it looks planned.

For many, many years I used the last quilt top my great grandmother ever pieced as our tree skirt. Because it wasn't quilted there wasn't a lot of bulk to deal with. Once I realized exactly how old it was, I finally put it away and now use a length of Christmas fabric instead.

My grandma used to buy one of those seasonal round tablecloths - the ones that feel like plastic/vyinl on top and flannel under? for her tree. I saw something a while back using the same thing except they cut a slit up to the middle of the circle, folded the cut edges under and used fabric glue to secure the edges and placed that under the tree but over the stand. They go on sale frequently and can get a new one every year. Shoot, there's always a bunch on clearance after Christmas. You can get one for next year then.

Tree Skirts don't have to be expensive. Places like Target have cute and affordable ones.

We used a solid flat sheet for years. I finally made a regular tree skirt.

Yes. I use a blanket or a sheet.

I went to the fabric store and bought a gold sequin kind of material, about 2 yards and that is what I use...

Growing up we used a white sheet. My husband didn't like the idea of it or I'd still be doing it. I like the look.

That looks nice! Use whatever you like! A friend told me that she is putting her tree in a galvanized bucket for a rustic look. Cute!

We've had the same tree skirt since our 17yo was a baby. I love seeing it in all our Christmas photos through the years.

We've never had a tree skirt. We've always used table clothes with the hems tucked under or quilts. I always preferred the organic look of the rolls and folds of fabric to the flat skirt look. We've been using 2 lap side quilts turned to the white side for the last 20 years.

My sister made a tree skirt out of burlap. She used hot glue to attach ruffled burlap strips and ribbon to it and it turned out really cute.

I think the tablecloth idea is a good one too, or you could just use some cute Christmas print fabric from JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby. If you wanted finished looking edges and don't sew you could always iron up the raw edges and secure them with the skinny fusible web stuff that comes on a roll.

I use a tablecloth. It's shimmering gold/silver snowflakes.
