A wonderful idea for the Christmas is creating unique tree skirts. They can help be a reminder of the year that is about to end and a great way to record the hand prints of your children. A unique tree skirt can even be made and given as a present for the grandma and grandpa.
Contemplate using an array of different prints for them. Do hand prints of your whole family, place both your child's feet and hand prints side by side on the skirt, or maybe the dog will want to get in on the fun and add his paw print. Tracing the little one's hands and feet and then painting inside the shapes is one way to incorporate them or you could use another piece of material and trace them and cut them out followed by gluing them onto the skirt.
Take your fabric in hand, fold your fabric into horizontally, after that, fold it in half vertically. Find the center of the material and then mark where the center is.
Cut a hole through the fabric. Place one end of the yardstick at the center, measure outward about thirty inches, and mark another mark. Make a every few inches to generate a great shaped arc. Cut your cloth along this marked area. Make sure the fabric is the right size; you need at least sixty inches of fabric.
If you want a different approach at making the hole, open up the material that you previously folded, place it on the middle dot, and trace around it. Cut it directly along the marks you jut drew going all the way to the middle dot, then cut out the mug-size shape.
Lay the material right side down. Squeeze a foot of glue on the border of the tree skirt. Bring the edge over about half an inch or as much as you would like to hem, and press it all the way down to secure it. Continue gluing foot length segments until you've hemmed up the complete skirt, then use the same method to hem the middle circle and then the slit line. Let the glue completely dry. Trim it twelve inches at a time, glue some flowery gold trim round the fringe of the tree skirt for an extra hit of glitz, let the glue dry.
Add a generous share of paint onto a dish dish. Individually, have each child coat their hand in it. Next, have he or she press their hand down very strongly on the skirt. Recommend to them to be still and when finished pick their hands up off of it. If the printing are irregular, you can complete small areas with a very thin paintbrush and a dab of paint. Be careful when painting because it is very easy to make a mistake that is irreversible.
Next have them use some squeezable paint to add their names next to the prints they made. You can next cut out Christmas shapes and add dates to them if you want and then glue them down on your uniquely made tree skirts. All that is left is to place it around your tree base or wrap it up and place it under the tree as a gift for a loved one on Christmas morning.
