Hot fix "gems" are so pretty....I have lots of glass beads though, and I am trying so hard to be good and not purchase any more tools.

I've also done a beaded fringe before that might look really nice on your tree skirt (more beading ... just what you were looking for, right?!). If you have embroidery floss, you can make it yourself. You just run the floss back & forth across the edge & stitch down. Sewing the seam will finish securing it. Then clip the loops, trim to an even size & tie a bead or three onto the end (knot - beads - knot). Looks really nice & gives you a chance to use up some more of that bead collection. Wish I'd kept a picture. I'm trying to be better about that now. My current tree skirt has silver fringe to match the silver embroidery. Very elegant, but it has nothing on your beautiful skirt.
