At its core, a skirt for a Christmas tree is a big circle with a hole in the middle and a cut. The easiest way is to make a skirt of fleece, felt or other materials that do not fall off - this can do without processing slices. If you choose thick cotton or another fabric, you will need to process the edges. The master class below describes the basic steps for making a skirt. You can decorate it according to your desire and the decoration of your New Year tree.
