What you might think of doing is to first make an old
fashioned square dancing skirt. you know the type, it had
masses of ruffles in it with miles of glittering zig zag sewed
on it. You could get colors to match your living room near the tree, or simply use Christmas colors.
I cut mine to fit a Christmas Tree. I cut it in 2 pieces, hemmed it and put on snaps. Put under the tree, it showed
up well and drew lots of praise.
