Ribbons
Mini ornaments
Faux holly, pine branches, or bells
You can also tie decorations directly onto the wrapped yarn for a more natural look.
Step 6: Place Under the Tree
Turn the basket upside down and place it around the base of your Christmas tree.
Adjust as needed to center it. Voilà — your custom, rustic tree skirt is ready!
💡 Tips & Variations:
Go thick: The chunkier the yarn or twine, the more high-end and cozy it will look.
Mix textures: Try alternating between twine and yarn for a farmhouse-style twist.
Paint the basket first if you want a colored base to peek through.
Not just for tree skirts! Use this same method to create decorative storage baskets for blankets, toys, or gifts.
