It’s that time of the year as we prepare our home for the holidays. Those personal touches of handmade items mean so much and bring back nostalgic memories of past Christmas holidays. Start your own tradition of passing down this special tree skirt by making your very own today!

This lovely Fabulous Flurries Tree Skirt is the perfect project to accent your home and tree for generations to come! The snowflake appliqués are a nice touch of winter. You can create your own by adding other appliqués or just leave the skirt free and clear of any embellishments for a more simple touch. Change colors and make it festive as you wish for your home. Enjoy this lovely piece that is sure to be a hit for years!

Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make this tree skirt:

My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos when I move away.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.
