Start with a standard size throw blanket. Fold the blanket evenly into quarters.

Cut across line shown to wrap around the base of the tree.

What is a standard tree skirt size?

Live trees 7.5′ and higher can use a 56″ tree skirt if the tree stand is large in size as well. 48″ is great for 7.5′ Christmas trees. 42″ – 48″ are ideal for 4.5′ – 6.5′ trees. 20″ mini tree skirts are for tabletop 2-3′ trees.
