Clean the Basket: Ensure the laundry basket is clean and dry. Remove any stickers or labels.
Remove the Top Rim (if needed): If the basket has a protruding rim, carefully remove it to create a smooth edge.
Step 2: Wrap the Basket
Start Wrapping: Begin at the bottom of the basket. Apply a line of hot glue along a small section of the basket.
Attach the Yarn/Twine: Firmly press the end of the yarn or twine into the glue. Once secure, start wrapping the yarn or twine around the basket, ensuring each wrap is close to the previous one.
Continue Wrapping: Keep applying glue in sections and wrapping the basket. Be careful not to leave gaps.
Step 3: Add Layers
Build Up Layers: As you reach the top of the basket, you can choose to add extra layers for a chunkier look. Overlap the yarn or twine slightly with each new layer.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Secure the End: When you reach the top, cut the yarn or twine and secure the end with a dab of hot glue.
Trim Any Excess: If there are any loose ends or uneven spots, trim them with scissors.
Step 5: Decorate (Optional)
Add Decorations: Embellish your new Christmas tree skirt with ribbons, ornaments, or any other festive decorations. You can glue these on or tie them around the yarn/twine.
Step 6: Place Around the Tree
Position Your Skirt: Carefully place the basket upside down around the base of your Christmas tree. Adjust it to ensure it’s centered and stable.
Here are a few variations of the end result:
