Matching a Tree Skirt to Your Tree

Diameter and Tree Height

Measure the spread of your tree branches, then pick a skirt wider than the base. A 60 inch skirt suits a large tree, a 48 inch skirt suits a 5 to 7 ft tree, and a 36 inch skirt suits a 4 to 6 ft tree. Check the listed diameter and tree fit before you buy.

Faux Fur, Knit, and Velvet

Faux fur looks like snow, knit brings a cozy sweater feel, and velvet adds a rich finish. Pick the material that fits your room and your ornaments. A white faux fur skirt suits a snowy look, while red velvet suits a classic look.

Burlap, Plaid, and Other Looks

Burlap suits a rustic farmhouse tree, and red buffalo plaid suits a classic cabin look. A pastel pink skirt suits a soft, sweet tree. Pick a pattern that matches the rest of your decor, not just the tree.

Closures That Hold the Skirt in Place

Ties, Velcro and hook and loop all hold a skirt around the trunk. Three ties or three Velcros give a snug fit, while two ties suit a smaller skirt. Open the closure, slip the skirt around the base, and close it snug.

Care and Storage After Christmas

Fold the skirt flat after the season and store it with other decorations. A double layer skirt folds neatly, and a reusable skirt can return next year. Shake off pine needles before you pack it away.
