Cutting a Pie Shape

To create a perfect circle to fit below the tree, cut the fabric into a pie shape. First, fold the canvas into a triangle, then use fabric scissors to cut a rounded edge. While folded, the canvas will take on the shape of a pie slice. Once unfolded, it will become a perfect circle. Tip: For most 6- to 7-foot trees, use a 36-inch diameter.

Create a Center Hole

To ensure the skirt fits around the base of the tree, add a hole in its center. Use fabric scissors to cut the tip of the canvas approximately 2 inches in.

Add Slit

For a perfect fit beneath the tree, a slit will need to be made to the skirt. To do this, use fabric scissors to cut a perfectly straight line from the center hole to the outer edge of the canvas.
