Instructions

I used repurposed burlap coffee sacks (gathered from my local coffee roaster) to make this ruffled Christmas tree skirt.

The detailed tutorial can be found here: http://greenbabywilmington.blogspot.com/2011/12/12-days-of-green-christmas-crafts.html

In short:
--cut out some burlap, canvas, or natural fabric in a donut shape large enough to fit under your tree.

What are you most proud of?

The fact that I made this completely free out of repurposed burlap coffee sacks. It's not only adorable, it's eco-friendly!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You could make this out of any fabric. It was really easy. I chose to sew instead of use a glue gun, because I felt like it could last for several years without falling apart.

i LOVE it! and the perfect idea, since I cannot, for the life of me, find my tree skirt since we moved. Hmm, off to think of places where I can get burlap! Thanks for the idea!
