Use a One-of-a-Kind Tree Skirt

When it comes to tree skirts, why not think outside the box? Consider a square tree skirt made from unexpected holiday materials, such as menswear fabric, rather than the round versions found in retail stores. This tree skirt, designed by Britany Simon, features a black-and-red plaid pattern and measures 4-feet-by-4-feet. Early in the season when the tree is void of gifts, the size of the skirt remains in view. As presents begin to stack underneath the tree, the graphic impact of the plaid pattern begins to peek through between gifts.
