DIY Christmas Tree Basket Stand

A large basket covers a tree stand to make a super-easy Christmas ‘skirt’ in no time!

Choose a large basket with a wide bottom. The bottom of the basket should be wider than the width of the tree stand. Before holiday basket shopping, measure the width of your Christmas tree stand and write it down. Also, take a tape measure with you so you can measure baskets while you shop.

Place your new basket on the floor and place the tree in the stand inside the basket.

Adding a basket as a Christmas tree stand or skirt will complement farmhouse, country, or rustic-styled interiors. After the holidays, the basket does double duty, and you can add storage for Christmas décor or home essentials.

Bonus Tip: Set up your basket and tree stand before you decorate the Christmas tree.

What You’ll Need For This Easy DIY

• Faux fur
• Scissors
• Fabric marker
• Ruler

Step 1

Use the folding method to cut a circle from the fabric.

• Draw a square on the back of the fabric with a marker. Size the square to be, at minimum, the bottom width of your tree.
• Fold the square in half to make a rectangle. Fold it again to make a square.
• Use your ruler to measure and sketch a curve equal to 1/4 of a circle. Measure from the folded point and across to the outer edge.
• With scissors, cut through the layers along the curved line. When you unfold it, you should have a circle.

Step 2

To make a center hole to accommodate the tree trunk and stand. Fold it in half. Place a round soup can or round container on the material, halfway across the middle point of the fold, and trace a half-circle. Cut fabric to make a center hole.

Step 3

Leaving the fabric still folded, cut a fold open on one side. The opening will allow you to fit the skirt around the tree.

Step 4

Take your tree skirt outside and give it a shake to remove loose bits of fur.

Bonus Tip: To keep as much fur as possible when cutting the, cut slowly and make small cuts. Keep the bottom scissor blade as close to the fabric backing as possible.
