A good place to buy a solid red tree skirt?

[lyncecelia]

I want to get a Solid Red Tree Skirt for our Christmas tree. What I plan to do is have DBF's kids put their handprints on them every year and date them with name, age, and year.

Any ideas?

Oh your right up in Manchester, check out a Christmas Tree Store. They just stocked them full of Christmas gear this week.

Amazon.com has a bunch. Search "red christmas tree skirt".

That is a great idea, really cute!

I'm curious what size would be best? I'm new to this Lol.

In my opinion, when it comes to Christmas Tree Skirts: bigger is better. I would buy the biggest one I can find (I made myself a quilted one that is 70" across. I don't like a smaller one because you end up not being able to see it under the tree (I use a pretty big tree)

You can also buy a round tablecloth and slit it to make it wrap around the tree.
I hate the fabrics they use for tree skirts, usually a felt type, so I use a cream colored one that I did some counted cross stitch on.
I slit it from one side to the center and stitched the edges so they don't fray.

I got a felt one at Target last year...less than $10 and a decent size

Wal Mart

Great idea you have, though, and a wonderful keepsake that will make!

Thanks!

I figured this year was tight, and we wouldn't have tons of money to spend on a tree skirt. I came up with this idea as a way to form a "tradition" and unique one that will be one-of-a-kind but still roughly affordable.

I liked the idea of a table cloth! That should be tons cheaper shouldn't it? thanks!

This is why I love DIS
