Learn how to make a DIY tree collar for a Christmas tree with fabric. This easy Christmas sewing project can replace a tree skirt.
I decided to try out a DIY tree collar to see if I would like it, and if it would make my life easier since I’d never have to adjust it once I set it up. After trying it out for a week, I LOVE it!
MATERIALS
– cotton canvas (depends on the size of your tree base and the width of your fabric) – medium weight interfacing – fusible fleece – Velcro
INSTRUCTIONS
Measure from the floor up to the lowest branches. Mine measured 12 inches. Measure all the around the circumference of the tree base. Mine measured 64 inches.
INSTRUCTIONS
Draw out a short and long rectangle. The height will be the height you measured, like 12 inches. The length will be the circumference you measured, like 64 inches.
Add 1 inch to both the height and the length for the seam allowances. Then add some length for the part of the tree collar that will overlap. I did a 2 inch overlap.
