Didn’t read all the comments, so don’t know if someone suggested doing a cardboard 3D star and painting it gold to match the tree skirt. You could have decorative cutouts, and put two or three lights from the tree inside, so the light shines through the cutouts. I suggest this as it would seem the least expensive option, and it still stays true to the Christmas story of the wisemen following the star of Bethlehem, and it would be on top of the evergreen that represents everlasting life. I’m sure someone has a video online on how to make a 3D star.

That tablecloth makes a gorgeous tree skirt. Wish I had thought of that before I bought mine. Very clever!

If you miss the scent of live/real trees, try getting a scented candle.

Hi Sandy, I love your blog and it’s the first one I look at in the morning when I arrive at the office! We always put an angel at the top of our tree! It’s what my mother did when we were growing up so it’s a tradition that I’ve carried on :) Love, Sue

Love the repurposing of a table cloth. I saw a crown or tiarra as a tree-topper somewhere and I thought it was adorable.

Do you remember the “broomstick” skirts from the 80s? I made one with scraps from my SIL’s drapery story– all with gold in the print– then when it had lived its life as a fashionable skirt I split it and it’s been our tree skirt ever since!

That’s a great idea. A few yrs ago I chg’d up my ‘fake’ tree. (My fake tree is over 10 yrs old now! Still looks fabulous). I packed away the kids ornaments, bought all new, but had trouble finding a tree skirt in the bronze copper color. Then I found a remnent at the fabric store for $2! Now that we moved, I want to chg things up again to an outdoorsy theme. Any great ideas from your readers other than pinecones? I want rustic w/o antlers and fish. :) BTW, a friend recently brought me a table cloth from goodwill and asked me to turn it into an apron.

Thank you so much for the tablecloth idea!! I was lamenting not being able to find a tree skirt that I didn’t loathe and wasn’t like $40 to add insult to injury just today to some of my coworkers. I think I can find exactly what I want if I shop the fall holiday tablecloths. You rock!
